Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days: What’s the difference?
There really isn’t a big difference between Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days. Both are 48-hour events that feature a rotating series of discounts on a range of products. Prime Day is the original summer event that has happened annually since 2015 (except for one year when it moved to October), and it’s the one that’s about to kick off in a few days’ time. In 2022, Amazon introduced its second set of discount days in one calendar year. This year, that second set is called Prime Big Deal Days, and you can expect the same system as the summer Prime Day event.
Do you need to be a Prime member to save?
If you want to purchase anything listed as a Prime Day discount, you need to be a Prime member. Luckily, you can sign up for a 30-day trial to take advantage of the steep discounts without committing to an annual or monthly fee. Keep in mind that you won’t be able to sign up for a second trial the next time around, so make sure you plan accordingly.
FAQ
Q: How much should I spend on a TV?
When it comes to TV prices, there are a few things to consider: size, display, and special features. Of course, a larger television is going to be more expensive than a smaller model. The same principle applies to screens-if you want a QLED 4K display, you’ll have to pay more than you would if you bought a 720p display. You can generally grab a small TV with a lower resolution for under $250. The most commonly bought TVs generally go for between $400 and $500; this should get you a 50 to 55-inch screen with 4K resolution. The $500 to $1,000 price point holds later TVs with 4K, and anything above $1,000 generally encompasses a fancier display with QLED or OLED displays and sizes up to 85 inches.
Q: What makes a good deal?
A new TV can be pricey, so, generally, any discount is a good deal. Even before you check the price, you should be looking at the brand/manufacturer. Buying a super cheap television from an unknown brand is never the way to go; if the price point seems too good to be true….it probably is. Reputable brands include Sony, Samsung, TCL, Amazon, LG, Hisense, and Insignia, among a few others. From there, you can consider size and features. Before you buy, measure your space and get specific about ideal TV dimensions. A 55-inch 4K television at 15% off is likely a better investment than a 32-inch TV marked down by 25%.
Q: What is Dolby Vision?
You may have noticed that more and more televisions list Dolby Vision as a part of their special features, but what exactly is it, and should you pay more for it? Most TVs now incorporate 4K Ultra HD or HDR (high dynamic range) display; Dolby Vision is a version of HDR. It is designed to preserve metadata that includes brightness and color information from the original content creation, like a movie studio, and delivers that info, frame by frame, to your screen. This means more picture fidelity and higher quality images overall. In order to take full advantage of Dolby Vision, every component of your TV watching needs to incorporate that technology, not just the TV itself. Most of us get our content through streaming services, but not all services support Dolby Vision, companies that do include Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon Video, and Disney+. If you don’t utilize these services, you might not need a Dolby Vision-equipped TV (although some Ultra HD Blu-ray discs are compatible as well).
