There are a few holidays to look forward to with associated sales during the spring season. Mother’s Day is typically not a big sales event for electronics, but Memorial Day and, to a lesser extent, Father’s Day most certainly are. Thanksgiving and its associated set of sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Cyber Week still tend to be when you get the best deals, especially on TVs, but other major holiday sales events are the next best thing if you miss out on the doorbusters available at the end of November.

Finding the best deals depends on what features you’re looking for, what you’re willing to spend, and if you’re looking for a shiny name brand. There are usually good deals on name brands, but some of the best value TVs these days come from newer Chinese powerhouses like TCL and Hisense, regardless of whether they are on sale. It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want an OLED TV with deep, inky-black levels, then your options lie with Sony, LG, and Samsung, the only active players using the technology. A value TV that carries an array of checkbox features will steer you toward the likes of TCL and Hisense. Or maybe you need a specific feature, like AirPlay support as an iPhone owner.

There are many options, so let’s take a look at the best deals and how those TVs have fared in professional reviews.
