TVs

  1. 1
    24-inch Amazon F20 TV for $79 at Amazon. If you want an awesome budget TV to fill out a guest room or serve as an office monitor, it’s hard to beat a 24-inch HD TV for $79.[2]

    • You may be looking at this Samsung model and the 65-inch 4K model above and wondering what the difference is. Unfortunately, the Samsung model is QLED, not OLED, which means the picture quality will be slightly lower.
    • 8K QLED TVs are ridiculously expensive these days, so if you want 8K resolution, OLED is the ideal option from a value perspective.
