If you’re willing to spend a chunk of change on TV deals to breathe new life into your home theater setup, we can’t recommend the Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV enough. You can get its 55-inch version at $299 off from Walmart, which reduces its price from $2,798 to $2,499. The discount doesn’t make it affordable, but that’s an excellent price for a TV that we’ve identified as among the best in the industry. You’re going to have to be quick with your purchase if you want this Sony TV for cheaper than usual though, as the offer may disappear at any moment.
