Amazon sells Samsung's 65-inch M70H Mini LED TV for $377.99, $152 below Samsung's $529.99 list price and $2 under what Samsung charges in its own store. It leads five 4K TVs under $500 that Amazon sells and ships itself, each priced below its own recent price or the maker's, as of November 14.
The real choice at this price is speed, not size. Three of the five are built for streaming and cable news, with no native high-refresh panel, while two run at a native 144Hz for a PS5, an Xbox or a gaming PC. That split matters more than the logo on the bezel.
Five 4K TVs under $500 at Amazon, compared side by side
The earlier price is the one recorded when Digital Citizen last checked each listing, or the maker's own store price where no earlier Amazon record exists. Every set here is sold by Amazon.com and was in stock.
| TV | Amazon price | Earlier price | Refresh rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung 65-inch M70H Mini LED | $377.99 | $379.99 at Samsung | 120Hz only in DLG mode | The biggest screen |
| LG 55-inch QNED73B Mini LED | $299.99 | $379.99 on September 18 | 60Hz | Cheapest mini-LED |
| Hisense 55-inch E6SR Roku TV | $299.99 | $329.99 on October 19 | Not listed | Roku homes, Dolby Vision |
| Hisense 55-inch E7SF Mini-LED Fire TV | $447.96 | $470.27 on October 19 | 144Hz | Consoles, darker rooms |
| TCL 55-inch QM6K Mini LED Google TV | $477.99 | $498 on October 19 | 144Hz | Consoles, Google TV |
Samsung's 65-inch M70H is the biggest screen for the money
A 65-inch screen for under $400 is the headline, ten inches more than anything else on this list. The M70H is a Mini LED set running Samsung's One UI Tizen, and Samsung promises up to seven years of Tizen OS upgrades for its 2026 TVs, according to its M70H product page. Its own store has the 65-inch at $379.99, so Amazon's price is effectively a match.
Gaming is the weak spot. The panel reaches 120Hz only through a DLG mode, which Samsung warns "will reduce image sharpness", and the set skips Dolby Vision. Buy it for a living room where size counts more than motion, and read how QLED, mini-LED and OLED differ in a bright room before you choose.
Cheapest 55-inch 4K TVs: LG QNED73B or Hisense E6SR at $299.99
Two 55-inch sets tie at $299.99. The LG 55-inch QNED73B is $80 cheaper than on September 18, when Amazon charged $379.99. It is a 60Hz Mini LED set with three HDMI ports, HDR10 Pro, Filmmaker Mode and LG's webOS.
This QNED73B appears to be an Amazon-only model. It has no product page on LG's US site, only a support page listing a one-year parts and labor warranty, so the $499.99 list price is hard to check. Judge it on the $299.99 itself.
The Hisense 55-inch E6SR is a Hi-QLED Roku TV with Dolby Vision, plus VRR and ALLM for casual gaming. At $299.99 it is $30 below its October 19 price, though it sold for $277.99 on October 18, so this is not its low. Pick it if your household already runs on Roku or you want Dolby Vision at the lowest price here.
Best 4K TV under $500 for PS5 and Xbox gaming
For a console, spend more. The Hisense 55-inch E7SF at $447.96 has a native 144Hz panel with 144 local dimming zones and up to 600 nits, according to Hisense's spec sheet. Two of its four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, so plug the console into one of those.
That price is $101 below the $548.99 Amazon charged non-Prime buyers on October 5, and 3 cents under its October 18 price. It runs Fire TV, and its zone count is modest, so expect some glow around subtitles in a dark room.
The TCL 55-inch QM6K at $477.99 is $20 below the $498 it held at in October. It also runs at a native 144Hz and uses Google TV, with up to 500 dimming zones across the series, according to TCL's QM6K page. It launched at $799.99 in January 2025. As on most TVs, the advertised refresh rate is not the whole story, so check which mode you are using.
Why the Fire TV Omni, Ember and Insignia TVs missed the list
Amazon's own sets failed on stock and price. The 55-inch Fire TV Omni QLED at $499.99 showed only one unit left. The Ember 50-inch 4-Series at $399.99 costs $160 more than the $239.99 it sold for on October 2.
Insignia's 55-inch F50 at $199.99 and 65-inch QF QLED at $329.99 are the cheapest big screens found, sold on Amazon by Best Buy, which owns the brand. Both are 2025 models listed at 60Hz with three HDMI ports, and no earlier price could be confirmed, so their list prices could not be checked. The TCL 55-inch F7D at $349.99 costs exactly what it did on October 5.
Should you buy a 4K TV under $500 now or wait for Black Friday?
Black Friday falls on November 27, and nothing guarantees deeper cuts on these exact models by then. The 65-inch Samsung already matches Samsung's own store, and the E7SF and QM6K sit below every price recorded for them in October.
For streaming in a bright lounge, take the Samsung or the $299.99 LG. For a console, the E7SF is the better buy at $447.96. Whichever you choose, change these picture settings first, since out-of-box modes rarely flatter a budget panel. Prices were checked on November 14 and can change at any time.
