Best Amazon TV deals: Top picks before the Prime Early Access Sale

Amazon is readying its second Prime Day sale for Oct. 11 and Oct 12. It’s called the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, aka Prime Day 2, and the TV deals are already beginning. We’ve already started curating the best TV deals for in the lead-up to the event, from both Amazon and other retailers.

You’ll need to sign up for Amazon Prime (for free) to take advantage of Amazon’s best Prime Day/Early Access Sale discounts. Other retailers have announced similar sales: Target will hold its Deal Days on Oct. 6-8, and Newegg plans its FantasTech Sale II between Oct. 10 to 13. We’d expect discounts throughout this entire period.

Prime Day Early Access TV deals

No surprise: We expect Amazon’s own Fire TV products to be on sale, along with third-party Fire TV hardware. We’re betting that Amazon will also begin promoting all the new products that connect to the Fire TV service: the $249.99 Echo Show 15 with a Fire TV interface, the $139.99 Fire TV Cube, and the $799.99 4K QLED Fire TV Omni. Look for deals on all of these on the Amazon Prime Early Access site.

Retailers know that amid rampant inflation, consumers are feeling the pinch, so expect older hardware to once again go on sale. If you don’t need the latest HDR capabilities or voice integrations, you may find older premium TVs that are excellent deals. But in some cases, you won’t see big discounts, but that’s because price have already been marked down. For reference, you can consult our home technology site, TechHive, and TechHive’s best TVs for 2022 and how to shop for them.

Several of the Prime Day 2 deals we’ve listed here are within 5 percent of the discounts we saw during the July Prime Day event, and the TCL deal at the top is definitely worth a look.
