For students heading back to school, value is paramount. The ideal TV offers a generously sized screen, good image quality, and an easy to use smart interface all at an affordable price. As part of Best Buy's 60th Anniversary Sale, Hisense's new 2026 58" QD50 Hi-QLED Roku TV drops to just $189.99 with free shipping. That's actually one of the least expensive 55"-58" TVs you can get right now, and even still the Q50 has features usually reserved for more expensive models.
2026 58" Hisenes 4K Hi-QLED Roku TV for Just $189.99
This entry level 2026 Hisense TV offers great image quality that punches above its weight class thanks to Hisense's proprietary Hi-QLED panel with direct-lit LED backlighting. The QD50 officially supports a number of HDR formats including HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG. Roku smart interface is also integrated, which is considered one of the best built-in smart interfaces you can get from a budget TV. It's definitely a favorite of mine; I prefer it over Google TV and Fire TV.
The QD50 is also a good TV for gaming on current generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Although it has a native 60Hz refresh rate instead of 120Hz, the reality is that the vast majority of PS5 games will not run at 120fps. Most games will cap out at 60fps even in performance mode and the select few that can go over usually require a PlayStation 5 Pro console. The money you save on this TV is better spent on more video games.
The Hisense QD50 TV Pairs Well With the Nintendo Switch 2
This TV is actually a great choice to pair with the Switch 2. When in docked mode, the new Switch 2 is able to run games at 4K resolution, however only at a maximum of 60fps. That means you only need a 60Hz refresh rate to maximize the Switch 2's 4K potential, which this TV supports. You shouldn't exclude this TV from consideration for console-based gaming either; most PlayStation 5 games won't run at over 60fps even in Performance mode.
