This Amazon Big Spring Sale deal is so good I’m buying a 55in 4K TV that I don’t need
It's a classic Amazon deal trap, but the price is so good I can't miss it
Conventional savings event wisdom is that you shouldn’t get sucked in by the deals – only buy things that you actually want and need. It’s the first thing I usually tell people when they ask me whether buying something in Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is worth it. Well, I’m about to break this rule on a top TV deal…

You see, Amazon has discounted its 55in 4K smart Fire TV from £550 to £380 – that’s a pretty tidy saving of 31%! You end up saving £170 on an already excellently priced television. That’s a lot of screen size for not very much money. In fact, the price is so good that it’s persuaded me to buy one, even though I don’t need a new TV. I figure it can go into the spare bedroom, or maybe my office.
The Amazon Fire TV 4 Series is a 4K LCD TV which supports HDR 10 and HLG HDR, as well as Dolby Digital Plus audio. It comes with Fire TV baked in, which means you can open apps, games and streaming services without needing to plug in an extra dongle. Of course, the 4 Series TV also has Alexa smarts and there’s an Alexa voice remote included, as with all Fire TVs.
Is this a good deal?
Do you really need to ask whether this is a good deal or not? You’re getting a £550 55-inch 4K TV for less than £400! That’s an unbelievable deal. Amazon’s previous cheapest price was £150 on Black Friday last year. While this deal doesn’t blow that one out of the water, it gets pretty close.
To put things into perspective, the 43-inch model is currently priced at £299 and the 32in 2-Series model is £209, so Amazon is practically giving the 55-inch model away.
