Black Friday is a great day to shop for everything from beard trimmers to dumbbells, but the most fun and—let’s be honest—most useful home upgrade you can snag is almost certainly a new smart TV. The best deal we’ve seen? A big, sharp 4K TV at Walmart that runs on Roku for less than $200—and it's selling by the thousands.

The Hisense 55-Inch Class R6 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV is just $178 today, $100 off its normal and already eminently reasonable price tag of $278. This model has garnered an impressive 4.7-star average after more than 5,300 five-star ratings, with customers calling it “so crisp, clear, and sharp” and “great for the price.”

This TV is squarely within the budget category, but the reality is that the technological advantages of high-end sets simply aren’t worth it for most people. This model has all of the requisite tech from Dolby and DTS for high-quality picture and sound, Roku’s beloved software that makes purchasing an additional streaming device unnecessary, and a bezel-less design that makes it look much more expensive than it is. It’s compatible with Apple, Google, and Amazon smart home ecosystems, and can easily be controlled with the simple included remote or the more powerful Roku app.

“The TV itself is a great value for the price,” one reviewer said. “The picture quality is fantastic…sharp, vibrant, and really pops in 4K. Roku's smart platform is super easy to use, and all the main streaming apps are right there.” While they do acknowledge that a soundbar would be a nice upgrade—and when wouldn’t it be when compared to a modern TV’s onboard speakers?—overall, they’d “definitely recommend it if you're looking for a solid 4K smart TV without breaking the bank.”

Even with the prices for 4K TVs dropping left and right, $178 for the Hisense 55-Inch Class R6 Series 4K UHD Roku Smart TV is a deal that stands out. This TV is already flying off the shelves, so if you’re interested in upgrading your home entertainment system before the Christmas movie and playoff football season, pounce on this deal ASAP.
