If someone asks me for tips on scoring a good deal on one of the best TVs, I usually tell them to start with last year's models. They're new enough to still be in stock but old enough to have been replaced by a newer version. Given the nature of the business, it's easy to find a TV that's 90% as impressive as its successor for 60% of the price.
Some websites — Amazon, Walmart, and more — take this even further, making available models from two or three years ago, often by way of third-party sellers. Given the prevalence of these listings, you'll almost certainly come across them.
