Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Labor Day A Good Time To Buy A TV?
Labor Day is a good time to buy a TV. Most retailers and many brands offer deep discounts on TVs this weekend. Not only do these sales encourage people to buy new TVs in advance of football season, but brands often release new models at this time of year as well, making it a superb time to upgrade an aging home theater.
How Much Should You Spend On A TV?
It depends, both on your budget and on what you’re looking for from a television. For example, if you want a high-end home theater, your budget will no doubt be different than if you are getting a budget flat-screen for your bedroom.
TVs tend to fall into a few different price-range buckets. Entry-level sets up to about $500 are good for smaller rooms and casual viewing, but will almost certainly include smart TV features (because nearly all TVs have those kinds of features these days).
Mid-range TVs up to about $1,000 can give you 4K resolution and HDR support in screens that range up to about 65 inches.
And finally, if you want top-quality display (such as an OLED screen) and plan to build a home theater around the set for movie viewing and gaming, expect to spend well over $1,000; the sky is the limit, and you could find yourself spending $2,000 to $5,000.
Are TVs Cheaper On Labor Day Or Black Friday?
There’s little doubt that Black Friday offers the best deals on TVs and other electronics. If you want to save the most money possible, hold out for the end of the year. But the difference between Labor Day sales and Black Friday is not enormous, which means it may well be worth spending a few extra dollars to get a TV now, rather than waiting.
