The Best Buy Memorial Day sales event happening now, and you can find discounts on a number of TVs TechRadar has reviewed favorably. The good news here is that many of those TVs are now under $1,000, making them great deals given the level of performance and features on offer.

Our list is led by a trio of mini-LED TVs, a tech that delivers the high brightness needed for optimal daytime TV and sports viewing. The Samsung QN90C is one we rated as the best TV for sports, and the 55-inch version is available for just $999. Along with the Samsung, the TCL QM8 and Hisense U8K are two of our top-rated mini-LED TVs, and the 65-inch versions of both are now selling for $899. 

Want a perfect TV for gaming? The Samsung Q80C has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support, a feature that makes it a great choice for PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers, and it also has a Samsung Gaming Hub for cloud-based gaming. The 65-inch version of the Samsung Q80C is now $999 – a $300 discount.

Looking for an OLED TV instead? We loved the LG C3 OLED TV when we reviewed it, finding it a great option for both movies and gaming. You can now score an LG C3 in a 48-inch screen size for $999 in today's Memorial Day TV sales.

Samsung's top mini-LED TV is getting a nice $500 price cut in Best Buy's Memorial Day sale. The QN90C is about as bright as TVs get, and its anti-glare screen makes it a fantastic option for daytime sports viewing. In our Samsung QN90C review we admired not just its bright, refined picture, but also its gaming features, which include 4 HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz support and Samsung’s Gaming Hub for cloud-based gaming. This is a big deal on a big-screen TV.

TCL's flagship TV has hit a near-record-low price in this Memorial Day TV deal. The QM8 Class is a high-brightness mini-LED model packed with features such as an anti-glare screen and both Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ support.

In our Hisense U8K review we praised its bright picture and impressive black levels, and also found it to be a great gaming option with 4K 144Hz, VRR, and FreeSync Premium Pro support.
