13 Best TVs to Buy in Amazon’s Spring Sale for Sweet Sixteen

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is live and if you're in the market for an upgrade to watch the Sweet Sixteen, there are some genuinely good bargains right now. As TechRadar’s deals editor who routinely tests and writes about TV deals, I've picked 13 models that balance picture quality, features and price — and that I'd be happy to have in my living room for tournament season.

First up are a handful of midrange OLED and mini‑LED options that offer excellent contrast and motion handling, perfect for fast basketball action. These TVs tend to deliver deeper blacks and smoother panning than standard LED panels, so rebounds and fast breaks look crisp without the blur that can ruin a close-up play.

For budget buyers, there are a few entry-level 4K models on the list that punch above their weight. They won't match OLED in shadow detail, but you can still get vivid colors, low input lag for gaming breaks between matches, and respectable HDR performance — all at much friendlier prices.

If size is your priority, several large-screen LEDs included here give you a true theater-like experience for group viewing. Amazon's sale is making some 75–85 inch sets much more attainable, and if you host watch parties, that extra real estate on the court is worth it.

Smart TV platforms also matter; the picks cover major ecosystems like Google TV, Roku and Samsung Tizen, so you'll get easy access to streaming apps, live sports services, and voice assistants. I aimed for a mix that should suit most living rooms and budgets while focusing on models that typically perform well in motion handling and local dimming — two areas that matter a lot for sports.

If you're hunting a deal, check each model's specs — especially refresh rate, HDR formats, and input lag — and compare prices across sellers. The sale ends soon, so if a TV on my list fits your needs, it may be worth snapping up before the Sweet Sixteen starts.
