TCL’s 120Hz frame-style smart TV now at all-time lows from $698 (Reg. up to $1,500+)

Justin Kahn - Dec. 19th 2024 12:05 pm PT

Amazon is now offering the 2024 TCL 55-inch Class QLED 4K Smart NXTFRAME TV down at $697.99 shipped. This frame-style smart TV debuted earlier this year with a $1,500 price tag before dropping into the more realistic $1,000 range in September, which frankly already undercut the popular Samsung The Frame models. But it is now an additional $302 off to slightly undercut the Black Friday mention we featured last month and deliver a new Amazon all-time low as well.

We have featured some big time deals for less on TCL’s more entry-level models, but Best Buy is now offering its 2024 98-inch Class QM8-Series 4K UHD HDR mini-LED Smart Google TV down at an impressive $2,999.99 shipped. This is a regularly $6,000 display that just jumped from the $3,000 all-time low at Amazon to just under $4,000. Today’s deal is massive 50%, or $3,000 price drop delivering the lowest price we have tracked on this model. It has been hovering in the $4,000 to $5,000 range at Amazon over the last few months, but today’s deal is the best ever. Best Buy also ships it with FREE installation.

We tracked a number of big-time price drops on smart TVs for Black Friday, to put it lightly, but Amazon now has the TCL 65-inch QM85 QLED 4K Smart mini-LED Google TV down at a new $899.99 shipped low. This model released earlier this year at $1,500 and is now seeing a sizable $600 price drop to deliver the lowest price we have tracked to date at Amazon. This deal is available at Best Buy, but only for store pickup at the time of writing. More details below.

While we have seen a number of other TV brands implement software options to mimic the look and feel of owning a Samsung wall art-meets-TV The Frame display, TCL is finally ready to deliver the real thing stateside. Today the value-packed smart TV brand is decidedly taking things up a notch with its first lifestyle television in North America known as the NXTFRAME TV – a “premium product that brings advanced technology and modern style together with customizable artwork to provide a unique experience and value.” Head below for a closer look and more details.

Just as I have said before, there’s nothing quite like a brand new shiny 2024 smart TV, but the value on the still perfectly capable 2023 models are enticing to say the least. A great example of this is the deal we are tracking at Amazon for the TCL 85-inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart mini-LED Google TV down at $1,399.99 shipped. First released last spring, it landed with a $2,500 sticker and is now a whole lot less than that. Over the last several months at Amazon it has been carrying a $1,700 price tag and has now returned to the lowest price we have tracked there at an additional $300 off. You’re paying $1,100 les today than you would’ve last spring. That’s a serious deal and a great price for a sizable 85-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

While the TCL S4 model might not have all of the bells and whistles as the more pricey options, it is a notable price for an oversized 2023 display that delivers 85-inches of 4K action to a living room near you. Amazon is now offering the TCL 85-inch S4 4K UHD Smart Google TV for $899.99 shipped, down from the regular $1,400 price tag. Today’s deal is not only the best price we can find. Today’s offer is $100 under the deal we featured earlier this year, matching our previous mention, and coming within $2 of the Amazon all-time low. It’s not the most feature-rich option out there, but if you’re looking for some serious size without spending around $1,500 (or potentially a whole lot more than that), it will deliver a solid 4K (2160p) panel with Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and Hybrid Log-Gamma to your setup at a reasonable price for a display this large. It also features Google Assistant voice command action, Chromecast streaming, three HDMI inputs, and Google’s TV ecosystem for direct access to apps and your streaming services. Head below for more details.

Alongside the early fall Prime Day in-house Fire TV deals, Amazon is now offering some solid offers on the now even more affordable entry-level TCL S4 2023 model 4K TVs. First up, you can score the TCL 50-inch Class S4 4K LED Smart Google TV for $259.99 shipped. Regularly $350 at Best Buy, this is $90 off the going rate and the lowest price we can find. Coming within $1 of the Amazon all-time low, this is only the second time we have seen this TV drop down into this price range. You’re looking at a notable price on a no-frills option for folks looking to land a 2023 model 50-inch display without breaking the bank. For further comparison, it also comes in at $20 under the price of Amazon’s early Prime day price on its 4-Series 50-inch entry-level model. The S4 might not have all the bells and whistles but it will still deliver a solid 4K display with direct access to your streaming services through Amazon’s Fire TV ecosystem. That’s on top of three HDMI inputs, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG, Bluetooth connectivity, and support for Amazon Alexa voice command action. The metal “bezel-less” design is also a nice touch.

TCL is showcasing the latest iteration of its wearable display smart glasses at CES this year. Not to be confused with a VR or augmented reality headset, the new NxtWear Air are essentially a wearable display in the form of a pair of sunglasses. The updates appear to be a marked improvement over the previous generation NxtWear G – TCL has reduced the weight some folks weren’t too keen on and ditched the arguably ridiculous looking design for something far more street worthy.
