March Madness is almost over, but you can prepare yourself for the rest of the year in sports with a TCL TV for as low as $1,048 for a limited time.

If you love sports, film and TV, a brand-new television might be a great addition to your living room. For starters, many TV sets today include smart capabilities, offer high-quality sound and offer a gorgeous display. Though these can come at a cost, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale includes massive discounts on high-quality TVs right now. For example, a 55-inch TCL QM7K starts at just $1,048 right now and saves you $252 right now. Not only are these prices close to the lowest ever recorded prices, now is a great time to stock up on a new TV if you’ve been saving and might be concerned about potential effects of tariffs on the price of electronic goods.

TCL equipped these TVs with QLED ad OLED technology for a well-lit and accurate display. It also includes a CrystGlow HVA panel that prevents glare so you can enjoy your favorite media in all kinds of light conditions. Plus, every QM7K 4K TV includes an AIPQ chip that powers the TVs visual features.

TCL also equipped these TVs with more backlight controls so you can find the right brightness levels for you. Plus, these TVs are equipped with GoogleTV capabilities and are compatible with Alexa. Finally a 144Hz refresh rate will keep you updated during live events, and prevents you from missing out on any gaming action if that’s your thing. With built-in audio by Bang & Olufsen, TCL didn’t skimp on sound either.

A 65-inch TCL QM7K is now just $1,200 and saves you $300. The 75-inch version of this TV is $1,550 and is $450 off. The biggest discount is on the 85-inch TCL QM7K which is currently $2,000, it’s a massive $500 off.

Why this deal matters

TCL’s TVs offer 4K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate with AI-powered imaging, contrast and brightness. Starting at $1,048 for a 55-inch TV, and with a massive discount of $500 on the 85-inch QM7K TV, now is a great time to upgrade your TV if you’ve been looking for one.
