Best TV Deals for August 2023: Build your entertainment set-up on the cheap

If your current TV or soundbar is starting to show its age then it might be time for an upgrade, which is why we’ve collected the best deals right here.

Even though we spend most of the day glued to our phones and our laptops, it’s just as important to have a solid TV at your disposal for when it comes to winding down after a hard day’s work. Whether you just want to stream your favourite comfort series or dive into some online gaming with your friends, it’s well worth investing in a TV that helps you to make the most of your downtime.

Because modern televisions tend to focus on image quality and smart connectivity, and bringing those features into a smaller frame, it tends to come at the cost of audio fidelity. To that end, we also recommend that you pick up a soundbar to go with your TV to help reclaim the sound quality that gets lost as a result of lacklustre built-in speakers.

With all this in mind however, even the lower-end TV and soundbar combos can end up costing a fair bit of money which is why we’ve stepped in to help alleviate the burden on your wallet. We’re constantly scouting the web for the best TV and soundbar deals so that when you want to upgrade, you can skip the search yourself and find the bargain that’s right for you on this very page.

While we update this page regularly, there’s no telling how long a deal will stick around for so if you do see something that piques your interest and make sure to nab it while you can. Alternatively, if you don’t see anything just yet then you can always bookmark this page and make a return when new deals have been added.

Best Soundbar Deals

Looking for a decent soundbar to pair with your new or existing TV? Here’s a quick selection of the top soundbar deals available right now.

How much should I spend on a TV?

Because of the amount of choice now available to consumers, there’s a TV out there to suit almost every budget. Of course, you’ll have to ask yourself exactly how big you want your next TV to be and what features you plan on making the most of when you’re settled in.

If you only want a standard set that’s ideal for keeping everyone entertained via your favourite streaming services then it’s not worth spending more than £500. For those who are more interested in higher screen fidelity and potentially a stronger set of built-in speakers, anticipate spending anywhere between £500-£1000.

The cinephiles and high-end gamers out there can easily spend over £1000 to get the entire feature set needed for them to enjoy their preferred entertainment in the best way possible. The best thing to do is to make a list of the the features you absolutely need and work down from there, as opposed to being swayed by the bells and whistles paraded by pricier sets.

What type of TV should I get?

For most people, a standard UHD 4K set will do the trick. Even though they sit at the entry-level of what’s available, they can still depict films and TV shows with crisp detail that’s easy on the eyes. OLED TVs are the best option right now if you want to delve into the other end of the spectrum as the technology uses self-lighting pixels to deliver an unparalleled level of contrast and vibrancy – these are the TVs you usually see on display in shops.

OLED TVs can be expensive however, so if you want something that’s a step above the 4K standard but doesn’t cost the same amount as OLED, then QLED is your best bet. This technology uses advanced panelling to offer a more realistic level of lighting for a noticeable uptick in fidelity.

Is OLED worth the price?

Almost everyone has asked this question after seeing the price tags sat alongside the latest OLED TVs. Against the competition, OLED TVs easily offer the most arresting image quality available, and while having an OLED TV at home can make for one heck of a movie night, the technology isn’t essential to an enjoyable entertainment experience.

If you do plan on buying an OLED set then it’s best to consider whether or not you’ll be making the most of it. For example, the technology is best paired with physical 4K Ultra HD discs and the latest next-gen consoles to really see what all the fuss is about. If you don’t have those to hand then you might want to consider opting for a QLED TV and saving some money in the process.

Is it worth buying an 8K TV?

On paper, an 8K TV might sound like a tempting prospect for any visual purists. The technology is stunning and there’s no doubt that someday, 8K resolution will be more widely accepted but we’re still a long way off from that becoming a reality.

The problem is that there’s only a smattering of content that’s native to 8K, meaning that there isn’t much to make use of the technology for now, and the TVs themselves come with a hefty price tag to boot. Unless you’re dead set on viewing 8K footage that you’ve filmed yourself, we’d recommend sticking with a 4K set for the time being.
