'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?

ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form .

Labor Day is your last chance for summer cookouts and celebrations before cooler autumn weather rolls in and the kids head back to school. And while TVs might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to Labor Day sales, it's a great time to pick up a budget-friendly model for your dorm room or splurge on a high-end upgrade for your home theater.

Also: The LG C6 OLED TV is one of the most impressive TVs I've tested year - and it's on sale

Right now at Best Buy , you can take advantage of steep discounts on TVs from brands like LG, Sony, and Hisense during the retailer's 60th-anniversary sale. But you'll have to hurry, the sale ends this Sunday -- and with deals like these, stock is sure to sell out fast.

Also: We lab-tested 7 TVs for color accuracy - and the winners weren't Sony or Samsung

I got to test out the R95H in the Louisville lab and was very impressed by the color accuracy it produced. The new Micro RGB panel works similarly to an OLED, giving you pixel-level dimming for ultra-sharp detailing and near-perfect black contrast.
