The prices of current televisions are as diverse as the selection. On Prime Day 2022, Amazon offers the chance for real bargains. But which TV offers are really worth it? TECHBOOK does the check.
When it comes to televisions, the choices are endless. Right now there are also some offers with good prices. It’s difficult to keep track of things. TECHBOOK will help you and has selected the cheapest TV offers for Prime Day 2022. All TV sets listed here are available for less than 200 euros!
The models were mostly LCD TVs with slimmed down equipment. You will look in vain for high-end features in this price segment. But the televisions are particularly cheap and are so well suited as a second device or as a mobile version for camping or the gazebo. Most models are also smart, so that streaming services such as Netflix and Co. can be viewed directly on the TVs.
Small note: The deals can only be bought if customers have an Amazon Prime subscription.
TV bargains for Prime Day
Nokia Smart TV 3200A for 238 euros 179 euros (-25%)
Nokia, actually known for its mobile phones and smartphones, has been offering a whole range of TV sets for some time. A television is particularly cheap on Amazon Prime Day. Buyers can currently save a whopping 25 percent.
The Nokia 3200A model comes with a 32-inch LED screen and Full HD resolution. The TV is 4K capable and supports HDR10 and micro dimming for better illumination. Thanks to the triple tuner, it can be operated on different TV connections and is also Internet-enabled (LAN and WLAN). Thanks to Android TV, users have direct access to apps such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, YouTube and the Google Play Store. With a total of three HDMI inputs, Bluetooth 4.2, a CI+ slot and two USB ports, the smart TV from Nokia is also well equipped when it comes to connections. Only the refresh rate of 50 Hz should be a thorn in the side of gamers. However, the cheap device cannot be described as a gaming TV. For better sound, we recommend connecting a soundbar.

By the way: Nokia has other televisions for Amazon Prime Day. The other offers under 200 euros only come with an HD display. If you don’t let that deter you, you’ll find a larger selection.
Hisense 32AE5500F for 205 euros 145 euros (-29%)
Also for less than 200 euros there is the Hisense AE5500F television for Amazon Prime Day. It is even available in two sizes: with 32 inches and HD resolution for 145 euros and 40 inches and full HD resolution for 195 euros. Both models have a triple tuner and an integrated smart TV. They even support USB recording and time-shift TV. The connections are a bit tight, but still ok. Two HDMI ports, two USB ports, a CI+ slot as well as Ethernet and WLAN are included. Bluetooth is not supported.
Grundig Vision 6 for 169 euros
The Grundig television costs 169 euros on Amazon for Prime Day. There are no comparable prices, but the cheapest offer for this TV in the past was 179 euros. So now it’s even cheaper. The Grundig TV relies on Fire TV as a system, which is probably why it is mainly sold on Amazon. However, with its 32-inch full HD display and Alexa voice control, it is worth a second look. Additional devices can be connected to the three HDMI ports and two USB ports. The Grundig Vision 6 also has a LAN connection and WiFi, allowing direct access to numerous apps. Unfortunately, Bluetooth is not supported, but the TV is quite energy-efficient in operation.
Thomson 32HD3326 for 115 euros
The Thomson 32HD3326 for 115 euros is the cheapest TV we could find among the Amazon Prime Day deals. There is no comparable price, but we would like to introduce the TV briefly. Like the Nokia model, it has a screen diagonal of 32 inches, but only has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels, i.e. in HD. That’s still okay considering the small size. A shortcoming is Edge LED, which can lead to spots in dark scenes. We have explained why this is the case here:
The Thompson TV also has only a few connections. There are two HDMI ports and one USB, but users have to do without Bluetooth. In return, it saves energy and can be used with all standard TV connections. However, if you want to stream on the TV, you need a streaming stick.

Tips for buying a TV
If you want to buy a new television for Prime Day or in general, you usually have a few questions. How big should it be, what is the best surface to access Netflix and Co. and does it have to be an OLED TV?
The optimal size for the smart TV
When choosing a new television, buyers often intuitively choose the larger models. There is a guideline for the perfect screen diagonal. A smart TV should not be too big, because then you may have problems viewing the picture. If there are about two meters between the sofa and the TV, you should opt for a small TV with a screen diagonal of up to 49 inches. If, on the other hand, the distance between the seats is around three meters, you can confidently choose the popular size of 50 to 65 inches. In even larger rooms with a greater distance to the sofa, the large Smart TVs from 65 inches can also be accommodated.
LCD or OLED?
OLED televisions are often significantly more expensive than models with an LCD screen. This is due to the screen technology used. LCD TVs are usually built very flat and are therefore ideal for hanging on the wall. They are also considered to be quite durable. The downside: The backlight is usually attached to the edge and is large. For this reason, individual pixels are also illuminated when they should actually remain dark. As a result, black tends to look a little grey, and the contrasts are less pronounced.
Different at OLEDs. Here each pixel is illuminated individually. If it is switched off, it appears deep in focus, which is where the high contrasts and saturated colors come from. In the past, some users were afraid that the image could burn in if it was left standing for a long time. However, modern OLED TVs have been improved in such a way that this no longer happens.
the QLED technology from Samsung is a kind of intermediate. This is actually an LCD panel with a large backlight. However, Samsung uses a second layer with so-called Quantum Dots, which act as light and color boosters. This creates the high contrasts and rich colors that are reminiscent of OLEDs.
It should be 4K
4K/UHD televisions now predominate on the market. They have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Their price has dropped significantly, so that it is hardly worthwhile to reach for a television with a full HD resolution. However, buyers do not yet have to resort to the slowly emerging 8K resolution. There is still far too little content for this and such high-resolution televisions are simply too expensive.
