Amazon's line of televisions only hit the market in 2023, and the 2-Series is the most affordable range of the bunch.

Certainly if you're after a no-nonsense, no-frills smart television that comes with a reliable smart platform (that's Amazon's home-grown Fire TV), you could do far worse than this modest-sized 40-inch set.

The £30 discount isn't a huge one, but it makes a TV that's already great value for money just that little greater still.

If you've got a bigger budget, you might want to take a look at Amazon's Omni range instead, which have QLED screens. For an in-depth look at both lines, read our Amazon Fire TV Omni Series vs Fire TV 4-Series explainer.

Here, frankly, is where the discounts are genuinely impressive: on the 65-inch set, you can save a hefty 30%.

This budget-friendly box from Panasonic has been given a £30 discount over at Currys.

The A6K has built-in AI-powered upscaling, meaning that it finetunes and optimises whatever you're watching in real-time.

A budget-end telly that looks perfect for larger viewing spaces.

Gamers rejoice as you'll be able to make the most of whichever console you have as the refresh rate is 120Hz, and at 4K, that's the max setting for most current-gen devices.

What to look for when buying a TV

The Sun spoke to Henrik Schmidt, Head of Category TV at Currys, to find out what you should be looking for in a TV.

He said: "Consider investing in OLED / Neo QLED TVs as these technologies will provide the best picture quality."

If you're a gamer, Henrik recommends looking out for HDMI 2.1 & 120Hz TVs to make sure your TV can keep up with the refresh rate of newer consoles.

"Having a larger TV will keep it relevant for longer mitigating the need to upgrade it for a larger one," said Henrik, "8K resolution is also growing in popularity and we expect to see more 8K content as the time goes."

How much to spend on a TV

Spending money on a TV can be daunting but Henrik recommends sticking to your budget and what you are looking for.

He said: "Whilst most suppliers offer the best technology panels available, they have different USPs.

"If having a truly immersive experience an important factor, perhaps exploring Philips’ OLED+ Ambilight TVs is the right thing to do.

"When it comes to OLED technology, LG has made some great advancements."

Make sure you know what you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend and you can't go far wrong.
