Costco Is Selling A 75-Inch Smart TV For Under $500 All Through March 2026

If you've been in the market for a new TV, then things might get more difficult to justify soon, as reports suggest that the ongoing chip shortage could lead to more expensive smart TV prices. However, that doesn't mean we aren't still seeing some solid deals for smart TVs hitting store shelves. In fact, at the moment, Costco has a deal going on this month that you may want to take advantage of. The deal in question is for a 75-inch TCL Q77K Smart TV, which is exclusive to Costco. The features a 144Hz refresh rate and a 4K UHD QLED display that utilizes quantum dot technology to deliver full support for HDR10, HDR Pro+, Dolby Vision, and more, all for just $499. The best part of the entire deal, too, is that it comes bundled with Costco's AllState 3-Year Protection Plan, which the store chain claims will give buyers a total of 5 years of coverage.

Port-wise, the TCL 75Q77K comes equipped with four total HDMI 2.1 ports — one of which is an eArc port — two USB ports, as well as a single optical audio input, for those that want to connect the TV to a soundbar or sound system. All four HDMI ports support variable refresh rate (VRR), which should provide a smoother visual performance across multiple types of media. This particular TV set is also fully compatible with Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google, and it comes with Google TV's smart TV interface built directly in.

There's a reason Costco has become a great place to buy smart TVs. And the TCL 75Q77K is a prime example of that. Not only is the deal great, but reviewers seem happy, too, with this particular TV sporting an average four-star rating with 230 total reviews — 137 of which are five-star ratings. Additionally, buyers for the TV praised the TV's overall colors, noting that the extended warranty was a huge positive. One user even noted that "you get an excellent TV with many mid to high-end features," and that despite being cautious at first, they are very pleased with the purchase.

Of course, like any electronic device out there, there are also weaknesses to account for, and user reviews do note that the screen can sometimes suffer in bright rooms, especially if there are a lot of dark colors on the screen. However, this doesn't appear to have been enough to dissuade that reviewer, who called the TV "perfect for a family on a budget."

TCL itself has long been considered a solid contender for budget-friendly TVs that offer solid features and performance, while still being a smart TV that works for any budget. We know that shopping for a new TV isn't easy, which is why we always like to point out solid deals like this when they pop up. And at this price point, it's hard to argue with the value of what Costco is offering, especially when you consider that similar TVs from Samsung or LG might cost you upwards of $700 or more — without the extra warranty.
