Sling TV is one of the more affordable ways to stream live TV online because it allows you to customize what kind of content you’re paying for. Sling offers two base subscription packages, Orange and Blue. Sling Orange is focused on sports and family entertainment, while Sling Blue is primarily focused on news and general entertainment. You can also buy a subscription to both Orange and Blue. Other packages are available that add channels not available through either base plan. Unfortunately there is no Sling TV free trial happening right now.

The Sony 75-inch X85K 4K Smart TV against a white background.

Sony makes several appearances in our rankings of the best TVs. Sony is known for quality displays that are bright, colorful, and crisp. And while Sony prices tend to be on the higher side, we found this terrific offer while looking through TV deals earlier today: For a limited time, when you purchase the Sony 75-inch X85K 4K LED at Walmart, you’ll only pay $698. The full MSRP on this model is $1,298. 

Why you should buy the Sony 75-inch X85K 4K LED
Sony’s X85K Series is a great midrange LED TV that delivers exceptional SDR brightness, making it a solid choice for a brightly lit room. Thanks to the TV’s wide color gamut and good contrast levels, visuals are lifelike and eye-catching. And because you’ll be working with a native 120Hz refresh rate, you can expect top-notch motion clarity, too. Not to mention VRR and HDMI 2.1 support (on ports 3 and 4), which makes the TV an excellent choice for PS5, Xbox, and PC gaming, too!
