Which is why the TCL C6KS was such a pleasant surprise when we reviewed it last year.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does it have much better specifications than most of the sets we test in the affordable end of the market but it also delivers the goods in the real world.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-d5981f67-7182-441e-92d1-6904c071d7b2-2\">So much so that our reviewers gave it a What Hi-Fi? Award last year. And now, thanks to a deal on Amazon, the C6KS is even better value.<\/p>\n<p>We reviewed the smaller 50-inch C6KS, not the 65-inch model on sale here. But we&#8217;re still happy to recommend it given our positive experience and the price drop on offer.

Tom Parsons, TV &amp; AV Editor, here.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I wrote about how I was considering buying the 42-inch LG C5, not because I really need it (if anyone can ever truly need an OLED TV), but because the deal was just too good to resist, and because I rather fancy a 42-inch OLED to use as a gaming and work monitor.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-b07a5e6a-e562-4b62-8183-d833a46f458b-2\">Sadly, while it has jumped back up in price to \u00a3729, after hitting an all time low of \u00a3649 yesterday, it is still the best small OLED deal we&#8217;ve spotted. So if you don&#8217;t want to wait, it&#8217;s the one to get. For those that can, however, maybe wait a bit longer, as we&#8217;re expecting it to drop back down to \u00a3649 at some point today or tomorrow.

I love high-end gear, of course, but I also firmly believe that great picture and sound quality should be available to all. The good news is that it is! You really don\u2019t have to spend a fortune to get a home cinema experience to be proud of \u2013 especially if you shop around. I\u2019m always on the hunt for big discounts, and sales events such as Amazon Prime Day often unearth some great deals, but not all offers are as great as they might at first seem. Over the next few days, I will be flagging the real deals and warning you off the fake ones.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kEGV8BAjAHiU3ubs2D6hJH.jpg\" alt=\"Lewis Empson author profile image\"   class=\"person__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kEGV8BAjAHiU3ubs2D6hJH.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kEGV8BAjAHiU3ubs2D6hJH.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/kEGV8BAjAHiU3ubs2D6hJH.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>Lewis Empson<\/p>\n<p>Social Links Navigation<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button-social   \" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lewis_empson\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"TWITTER\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><a class=\"button-social   \" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lewisempson\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"INSTAGRAM\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a>Senior Staff Writer<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m What Hi-Fi?\u2019s Senior Staff Writer for everything AV, and I\u2019ve reviewed a huge range of home cinema products.

As such, I\u2019ll be scouting out the best Prime Day deals on TVs, soundbars, surround sound packages and more. It\u2019s always worth remembering that the best Prime Day deals aren\u2019t always on Amazon, so I\u2019ll be scouring a wide range of retailers to ensure that the prices you\u2019re seeing are actually worth your hard-earned money.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7XwqhnrrX4k4inmqwwNggX.jpg\" alt=\"robyn quick headshot\"   class=\"person__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7XwqhnrrX4k4inmqwwNggX.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7XwqhnrrX4k4inmqwwNggX.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7XwqhnrrX4k4inmqwwNggX.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/>Robyn Quick<\/p>\n<p>Social Links Navigation<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button-social   \" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robyn-quick-658757215\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LINKEDIN\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a><a class=\"button-social   \" href=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/tv-home-cinema\/live\/mailto:robyn.quick@futurenet.com\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"EMAIL\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/a>Staff Writer<\/p>\n<p>As What Hi-Fi?

This proves that you don\u2019t always have to spend a fortune to get the right product, and events such as Prime Day drop those prices even lower. I\u2019ll be keeping my eyes carefully peeled to find the best prices on products that are worthy of your living room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/p2mKGov2Zcy4MbSNtFCLcZ.jpg\" alt=\"Daniel Furn Staff Writer\"   class=\"person__avatar image-wrapped__image image__image\" loading=\"lazy\" data-normal=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/p2mKGov2Zcy4MbSNtFCLcZ.jpg\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/p2mKGov2Zcy4MbSNtFCLcZ.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/p2mKGov2Zcy4MbSNtFCLcZ.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" data-slice-image=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Daniel Furn<\/p>\n<p>Staff Writer, Deals<\/p>\n<p>As the Deals Writer for What Hi-Fi? and a bona fide home cinema fan, I spend my days covering deals on all the latest TVs, soundbars, projectors and more.
