SAVE $100: The 50-inch Hisense QD6 QLED 4K Smart Fire TV is just $229.99 — a budget win with premium perks.
You don’t need to drop thousands to get a TV that punches way above its weight. Sometimes, all it takes is $229.99.
That’s the new price on the 50-inch Hisense QD6 QLED 4K Smart Fire TV (2025 model) at Best Buy, where it’s currently $100 off its usual $329.99 list price as of Aug. 5. Along with looking like a wallet-friendly TV, this is a full-featured entertainment hub with some surprisingly high-end specs for its size and price.
Firstly, in terms of visuals, this QLED display uses quantum dot technology to serve up over a promised billion shades of colour, making everything from summer blockbusters to preseason football pop with vibrant, lifelike detail. The addition of Dolby Vision HDR means contrast and colour depth are dialed up for a more cinematic look, while AI 4K upscaling brings older or lower-res content closer to Ultra HD clarity.
Whether you’re after a cost-effective model that can still make the new season of Gen V on Amazon Prime or Wednesday on Netflix shine, this TV targets being a treat for the eyes that won’t put a sour note on your savings. Next, when it comes to sounds, Dolby Atmos support makes the built-in speakers sound more immersive than you'd expect from a budget-friendly 50-incher, meaning you can hold off on that soundbar upgrade (at least for now).
Gamers will appreciate the built-in Game Mode Plus, which includes Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode to reduce lag and aims to keep your gameplay smooth when playing shooters like Fortnite — or dedicated single-player adventures like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Add in Motion Rate 120 and AI Smooth Motion for fast-paced sports and action scenes, and you're getting a seriously capable screen for this price.
It’s also running on Fire TV, giving you a snappy, familiar interface to jump straight into other apps like HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, and more — with Alexa baked in for hands-free control. As a bonus: it plays nice with AirPlay 2 and Apple Home, with no extra set-up required.
In short, this isn’t just a cheap TV. It’s a feature-packed steal for anyone upgrading a bedroom screen, outfitting a guest room, or just looking for premium picture quality on a budget.
