Best TV deal: Save $350 on 85-inch Hisense QD7 QLED TV

SAVE $350: As of July 1, Hisense’s 85-inch QD7 Series Mini-LED QLED Smart Fire TV is just $949.99 at Amazon — 27% off its regular price.

If your current TV feels more like a modest monitor than a cinematic centrepiece, Hisense just dropped a monster deal ahead of Prime Day — and it's something our expert thinks you should consider. The Hisense 85-inch Class QD7 Series Mini-LED QLED Smart Fire TV is now just $949.99 at Amazon, a hefty 27% discount off its usual $1,299.99 price tag.

This isn’t just a bigger screen. Hisense intends for this to be a full-blown entertainment upgrade. The QD7 packs Mini-LED backlighting for enhanced contrast, 600 nits of peak brightness, and Full Array Local Dimming to sharpen shadows and highlights. So, whether you're watching a gritty thriller or the big game, it’ll look vivid, dynamic, and halo-free.

Under the hood, quantum dots power QLED colour, delivering over a billion shades for rich, realistic visuals. If you’re into fast action — such as sports or gaming — the Native 144Hz panel, Motion Rate 480, and Game Mode Pro with AMD FreeSync Premium give you ultra-smooth, blur-free performance with a variable refresh rate up to 144Hz. That’s a lot of speed for the price.

This 2025 model also features Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, creating what’s meant to be a one-two punch of cinematic-level picture and immersive surround sound. And with AI 4K upscaling and Filmmaker Mode, even your old DVD collection or classic favourites could get the red carpet treatment.

The built-in Fire TV interface keeps your apps front and centre as well, while Alexa voice control means you can search, launch, and adjust settings hands-free, or ask about tomorrow’s weather without leaving the couch.

At just under $1,000, this is a serious value for anyone looking to max out their screen real estate without maxing out their wallet. Whether you're building a home theatre or upgrading your weekend watch setup, the QD7 brings premium performance to your space — and just in time for Prime Day.

And if you need an additional smaller screen to complete your entertainment setup, the 55-inch The Frame TV by Samsung is $500 off ahead of Prime Day. For those needing something extra that’s cheap and portable, the $50 off deal on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ is one of the best early Prime Day deals on tablets.
