Prime Day has ended, but Best Buy’s Techtober listings include television deals of their own. As of October 8, 2026, Best Buy displayed a 65-inch TCL Mini LED Fire TV for $449.99 and a separate 65-inch TCL QLED Roku TV for $379.99. Prices, sale end dates and local availability can change, so check the product listing for your ZIP code before buying.
Best Buy TV deals listed October 8, 2026
These are two distinct 2026 TCL models, not the older TCL Q5 featured in a 2024 fall-sale roundup. Best Buy’s displayed prices are retailer offers, not proof of the models’ market-wide value.
| Model | Display and smart-TV platform | Best Buy listing |
|---|---|---|
| TCL 65-inch M8LF Series (2026) | 4K UHD HDR Mini LED; Fire TV | $449.99, with a stated $350 saving, as displayed October 8, 2026. Best Buy listing |
| TCL 65-inch Q6LR Series (2026) | 4K UHD HDR QLED; Roku TV | $379.99 as displayed October 8, 2026. Best Buy listing |
| TCL 65-inch QM8L Series | Google TV; display technology not stated in the cited listing | Best Buy listed a deal end date of October 8, 2026; a price was not stated in the cited listing. Best Buy listing |
Best Buy’s Techtober sales page shows the broader sale context. A listing’s displayed saving is Best Buy’s reference figure; it does not by itself establish that the price is the lowest available elsewhere.
How to choose between the two priced models
Choose by display technology
The M8LF is identified as Mini LED, while the Q6LR is QLED. Those labels describe different display approaches, but they do not establish which television will look better in your room. Compare the full specifications and review the product details for the content and lighting conditions that matter to you.

Choose by smart-TV platform
The M8LF uses Fire TV and the Q6LR uses Roku TV. If you already prefer one interface, its apps and navigation may matter more to you than the difference in the listed prices. Check the product pages for the current specifications and included features before deciding.
Compare the complete checkout cost
The Q6LR was listed $70.00 below the M8LF on October 8, 2026. That is a comparison of the two displayed Best Buy prices on that date, not a claim that either price remains available. Check whether delivery or pickup is available where you live and review the final checkout total.

What happened to the old Prime Day-era deals?
A Mashable roundup hosted by Yahoo Tech covered a 2024 October sale cycle, including an October 8–9 flash sale and offers on a TCL 65-inch Q5, an Apple MacBook Pro and a refurbished Dyson Airwrap. Those offers are historical, not evidence that the same items or prices are still on sale. The TCL Q5 is also a different model from the M8LF, Q6LR and QM8L listed in 2026.
