The July Fourth holiday may be behind us for another year, but Best Buy Co. Inc. (NYSE: BBY) must not have gotten the memo. The company is continuing to promote sale pricing on Ultra High-Definition (Ultra HD) TVs with fireworks and savings of up to 25%.
Sales of big screen TVs have slowed down — sales in 2015 came in 4% below 2014 sales. The second half of last year was particularly slow and promotions abounded. Ultra HD TVs, however, bucked the trend, with sales soaring 173%. The Ultra HD sets sold an estimated 32 million of a total of 226 million TV sets sold in 2015. By the end of this year, one in eight U.S. homes will own an Ultra HD TV, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.
Here are some of the 4K Ultra HD TVs on offer at Best Buy stores and online.
A Samsung 60-inch LED 2160p smart 4K Ultra HD TV (UN60KU6300FXZA) is on sale for $999.99, a savings of $300 (23%) from its regular price of $1,299.99. The company offers free delivery on TVs with screen sizes larger than 51 inches. Save an additional $90 on an open box unit.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
