Best overall Labor Day TV sales
The ultrathin screen of The Frame TV will blend into your decor, rotating through an array of artwork when you're not watching shows, sports or movies on the high-definition screen. You can also buy a magnetic frame that attaches to the screen to enhance the work-of-art feel.
If you're on a tight budget or you're looking for a second TV for a bedroom or guest room, this smart Fire TV is well under 100 bucks and is sure to satisfy.
The 2024 model has a generous 75-inch screen with 4K resolution so you can have a seriously theater-like experience without having to leave the house. This TV also has "full array local dimming," which translates to richer colors, deeper tones and more lifelike images.
The 65-inch Vizio Quantum Pro offers excellent bang for your buck. With a high-quality 4K QLED HDR panel, you can take home this TV for just under $600, which we think is a steal. Our testing showed that it offered better contrast than the Roku Plus Series.
At almost $1,100 off, this might be the time to get that high-end, mega-size screen you've been dreaming of. With features like 8.3 million self-lit pixels for deep colors and contrast, an Alpha 9 AI Gen7 processor for crisp picture and Dolby Vision sound, you may never buy a movie theater ticket again.

Is Labor Day a good time to buy a TV?
If you're eyeing a new TV, Labor Day is an excellent time to shop. Multiple retailers offer markdowns across a wide variety of models and sizes, giving you a top-notch selection to choose from at great prices. Plus, once Labor Day has passed, there isn't another major holiday shopping event until Black Friday, so you may be waiting a while to catch another great deal.
How much should you spend on a TV?
There is no right or wrong answer to this question. The important things to consider when shopping for a TV are your needs and your budget. While there are plenty of cheap TV deals available to shop, some of those models won't offer all of the features a more premium model may. Additionally, if you want an OLED display, that's going to cost significantly more than LED and other models.
Size also tends to play into how much you'll spend, but for a standard entertainment area like a living room, you'll probably want to invest in a TV that is at least 55 inches, though 65 inches or larger is best in most cases. For bedrooms, you should opt for a model at least 43 inches in size.
If you're going to splurge, spending more on a larger screen will probably make the biggest impact, delivering more bang for your buck. You can check out our TV buying guide if you want more information before you buy.

How we choose the best Labor Day TV deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for over five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. In that time, we've learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we surface only the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing television deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale, so we know when it's a case of an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn't worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- Remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are around for only a short time or may be limited in supply. If that's the case, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
