Round one of March Madness is wrapping up, but that doesn’t mean that the sales are ending. In fact, now’s a great time to upgrade your setup before the Sweet 16 tips off — especially if your current TV has seen more tournaments than you can remember. Whether you’re watching buzzer-beaters with friends or quietly stress-snacking during free throws (my favorite March pastime), a bigger, sharper, more colorful screen makes every possession more exciting (and every commercial break slightly more tolerable).
Right now, major retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Sam’s Club are running some serious deals on big-name TVs — think Vizio, TCL and more — with discounts that rival some of the chaos we’ve seen on the court. We’re talking hundreds of dollars off 4K models, smart TVs with built-in streaming and screens so large they’ll make your living room feel like center court (and will have no trouble playing four games at once). We’ve rounded up the best options below so you can spend less time scrolling and more time watching the Madness unfold.

Vizio and I go way back. My first TV? A Vizio. My first 4K TV? Also a Vizio. The biggest TV I’ve ever owned? You guessed it: Vizio. If your budget isn’t huge, this 55-inch Quantum 4K QLED Smart TV is worth a look. It’s got Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Quantum Color for eye-popping visuals, plus built-in streaming apps and voice control for easy binge-watching. The 60Hz refresh rate is smooth enough for movie nights and casual gaming. If you’re looking to upgrade without overthinking it, this is a solid pick, especially for the price.
Amazon
This 55-incher not only delivers stunning 4K Ultra HD visuals and Alexa Voice Remote convenience, but it features four HDMI ports, allowing you to connect all your other devices, like gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and soundbars, effortlessly. With access to top streaming services, it’s easy to find content and get personalized recommendations right on the built-in Fire TV interface.

A 65-inch 4K TV for under $400 a few years ago would’ve turned heads. Now you can get one with QLED tech for that price! If 65 inches isn’t enough real estate for you, this TV is on sale in multiple sizes, all the way up to a 98-inch behemoth that won’t even fit in my house (yes, I already measured).
Amazon
As TV upgrades go, this screen hits the sweet spot: premium features and a wallet-friendly price. You’re getting a 55-inch 4K display with Dolby Vision and HDR 10, meaning those binge sessions or movie nights will look crystal clear. Throw Alexa into the mix, and it’s essentially a smart-home hub masquerading as a TV. Plus, with Amazon regularly sending updates, this deal will get better and better over time.

Sam’s Club
$400 off a new model OLED TV with Roku built in? Where can we sign up? The answer to that question is Sam’s Club. And unlike your bracket (seriously, McNeese?) this TV is a real winner, no streaming stick necessary.
Amazon
Want big but not too big? This 55-inch screen is the Goldilocks of The Frame lineup. It delivers an impressive 4K experience suited for moderately large living rooms or entertainment spaces — and at more than 25% off, it’s among the best deals for anyone who doesn’t want to go big with the 85-inch. Its ability to turn your TV room into an art gallery is just icing on the cake.
Samsung
Have an Elite 8 budget? These are the final four letters you need to remember: OLED. These TVs are the real MVPs — offering deep blacks, dazzling color and game-day-ready clarity that’ll make your old screen look like it belongs on the bench. And right now, this Samsung is getting a full-court press 48% discount. Fast-break your way to one before the clock (or the sale) runs out.
