When will Prime Day TV deals begin?
The official dates for the Amazon Prime Day event are 21 June and 22 June, according to a press release from the retailer. The two-day shopping extravaganza will see discounts on everything from tech to fashion and home appliances.
In true Amazon fashion, you’ll notice early discounts on TVs and other tech ahead of the big shopping event. Keep this page bookmarked to make sure you’re always in the know, as we’ll be updating it.
How to get the best Prime Day TV deals
Televisions can fluctuate in price by thousands of pounds, so it’s worth comparing any deals you spot on the day with other retailers to see if it’s a good deal. We’ll be on hand to help you find the genuine discounts, so bookmark this page and check back in for the best offers.
Amazon’s product listings for TVs are especially granular too. Every size, style and model has its own page, and product names can be inscrutable series of numbers and letters, making it difficult to bookmark the exact TV you want to keep an eye on.
Instead, it pays to be flexible and open-minded when hunting for a Prime Day TV deal: have a budget in mind, be ready to switch brands, and keep checking this page for the best discounts.
Oh, and measure your space in advance. There’s nothing worse than grabbing a cheap 4K TV in the sales only to find out that it doesn’t fit in your unit.
Do you need Amazon Prime to buy Prime Day deals?
Yes. Prime Day deals are exclusively available to Amazon Prime customers, but you can start a free 30-day trial any time before the sale starts to access the deals.
A subscription to Amazon Prime costs £7.99 a month or £79 a year. As well as unlocking discounts on Prime Day you’ll get access to premium features such as same-day delivery, movies and TV streaming on Prime Video, and Amazon Music.
If you’ve used your free trial or were thinking of renewing, keep an eye out for deals on restarting or extending your membership. Amazon sometimes makes these available in the run up to Prime Day to ensure as many customers as possible can take part.
Last year’s best Amazon devices deals in the UK
Prime Day 2020 saw a handful of 4K TVs from Sony and LG drop below £500, but you had to be quick as the best TV deals sold out fast. For those who missed out there were still savings to be had. Samsung OLED and QLED TVs at the very top of the range were generously discounted, while entry-level full HD screens from Sony and LG could be picked up for under £250.
During last year’s Prime Day this 1080p, 32in Sony Bravia KDL32WE613BU (£422.99, Amazon.co.uk) dropped in price to just £249. Deals were to be had on 4K displays too, such as the 55in Hisense 55AE7000FTUK (was £449, now £394.69, Amazon.co.uk) which fell to £368 in last October’s sale.
LG televisions saw the best discounts on Prime Day. The excellent 70in LG 70UN71006LA (£899, Amazon.co.uk) had a modest £40 shaved off, but the 49in LG 49NANO866NA (£629, Amazon.co.uk) dropped in price by £200 to £699. Today it can be bought for even less, so best to keep an eye on it as we approach Prime Day 2021.
