This weekend you can snag a gorgeous TCL C-Series TV for a heinously low price

TCL made a name for itself as the best manufacturer of affordable TVs in recent years, offering viewers great-looking screens at prices that don't touch their vacation funds. This weekend, the amazing C-Series is cheaper than ever.

If you’ve been considering an upgrade to that ratty old display in your living room, you’re probably unlikely to find a better deal than the one that Amazon is running with affordable TV manufacturer TCL this weekend. The fantastic C-series model will be available from the online retailer for a staggering $400 and $700 less than its normal list price in both 55 and 65-inch variants, providing viewers with perhaps some of the best bang-for-their-buck that we have seen all year.

We have long been fans of the Chinese TV company for its excellent quality sets, all of which vastly undercut the competition in terms of how much they cost to deliver an extremely similar image. This weekend, viewers will be able to Buy Now  for just $500, with the Buy Now .

That is a lot of TV for the money. The 4K, ultra-HD C-series features support for high-dynamic range in the form of both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision, and even offers viewers built-in Roku streaming functionality. We are a huge fan of Roku and consider it one of the best ways to stream everything from our favorite Amazon and Netflix movies and TV shows to the latest episodes of HBO originals, and beyond.

The C-series deal comes just weeks after the company sold its previous high-end model, the P-Series, for just $500 at Best Buy locations throughout the United States.

If you do not quite have the cash saved up to grab one of these TVs this weekend, the fact that TCL has run other recent deals means that the company will probably bring down list prices at multiple other points in the year.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.

The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.

What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.

The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
