While there are countless brands and models to choose from, this is a good representation of the features and specs you can expect to find in your own additional research at this price range. Of course, shopping on a budget means you’ll need to compromise on certain features. The more money you’re willing to spend, the more likely you’ll find TVs suited for bright environments, encased in thinner frames and able to be powered on 24 hours a day. But these are solid bets for their respective price points, and if you’re looking for a bargain, you can’t go wrong with these five.
