New to Prime Day? We have a primer on everything you need to know. Sales are accurate at the time of publication, but prices and inventory are always subject to change.
On August 23, I bought an Amazon Fire TV 50″ Omni QLED Series 4K television for $379.99. It seemed like an OK deal—the list price is $469.99, and it’s a good television with a 4K display, adaptive brightness, and an Alexa-enabled remote control. But today, that same model of TV I bought is selling for $359.99, even less than what I paid in August.
Am I angry? Not really. My old TV broke, so I had to get a new one. The price difference is only $20, so it’s not the end of the world; plus, this is the best TV I’ve ever owned, and even the higher price I paid is reasonable for a QLED TV. Here’s what it looks like when you watch Peacemaker on it:

Having watched most of Peacemaker, some John Woo movies, and playing a lot of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, I feel my new TV made movies, TV, and video games look fantastic. And it’s super easy to operate; I even use Alexa to change the input, because saying “Hey, Alexa, switch to HDMI 1” is easier than poking through the menus. It’s a lot of television for $359.99, so if you’re looking for a TV, consider making the decision now.
