Home theater Prime Day deals have begun. If you’re a regular Amazon customer, or your favorite companies have an Amazon store, it is one of the best shopping holidays of the year.

Home Theater Prime Day Deals

Prime Day 2023 is here. There are countless home theater Prime Day deals you can find today, but we’ve collected some for you that will be a great place to start looking.

 

Prime Day Echo Dot and Echo Device Deals

You’ve already been talking about these deals in the forums a bit and we can see why. Most Echo devices are around the 50% off mark, with some touching 65% off (and, yes, admittedly a couple only getting ~25% in price reductions).

Particularly exciting from this set of deals are the Echo Dot 5th Gen (2022) collection. The standard Echo Dot 5, which has improved sound from previous generations, now includes a built-in eero Wi-Fi extender, and allows you to create routines for your home with a new internal thermometer. A next step up (and for only a few dollars more during Prime Day) is the Echo Dot 5 with clock. Unsurprisingly, it includes a clock. It feeds out through a somewhat hidden front LED panel, which can also display the weather, temperature, and song titles. Finally, in the collection is the excessively cute Echo Dot Kids 5, which comes in owl and dragon forms. They’re designed with kids in mind, including having parental controls, and the respective versions can speak in owl/dragon voices and make special jokes depending on their appearance.

Buy members from the set on Amazon today:

• The Echo Dot 5 — From $50, To $23
• The Echo Dot 5 with clock — From $60, To $30
• The Echo Dot Kids 5 — From $60, To $28

 

Prime Day Sound System Deals

As you’re surely aware of already, Prime Day deals on soundbars, home theater systems, and speakers are plentiful. Here’s just a few to get you started on your hunt for the best of the best:

 

Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar System — From $300, To $178

When we covered the Sony HT-S400’s announcement in January last year, we mentioned how it was designed to be at a more accessible price point. While including many Sony customer favorite features, of course. That was when the Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar System was retailing for $300. Now, on a Prime Day sale for 41% off, it’s certainly worthy of a second look. The Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar System can output at 330W power and utilizes HDMI ARC as well as optical audio input. Similar to the Echo Dot with clock, above, they have an LED display on the front. There’s even a night mode for late night listening. Like many Sony sound products, it can be easily connected to a Bravia TV.

Check out the Sony HT-S400 on Amazon to see if it is worthy of your home today!

 

VIZIO Elevate Deals — Over 40% Off

VIZIO M-Series Elevate and VIZIO Elevate Soundbars are both on sale at over 40% off as part of home theater Prime Day deals today. The VIZIO M-Series Elevate uses Dolby Atmos and DTS:X in high form. As explained in our VIZIO M-Series revealer, when the soundbar detects either of these technologies, the up-firing channels automatically rotate upwards. Meanwhile, the more premium VIZIO Elevate, VIZIO’s most awarded sound system, is highly regarded for its sound quality and volume control. It also has Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, is voice assistant compatible (for Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant), and has a wide soundstage tuned for clear vocals.

Get either one on Amazon as part of home theater Prime Day deals today:

• VIZIO M-Series Elevate — From $800, To $475
• VIZIO Elevate — From $992, To $569

 

Prime Day Projector Deals

What’s a home theater without a nice projector? Luckily, home theater Prime Day deals include quite a few premium projectors. Here’s some to get you started looking in the right direction.

 

LG HF65LA CineBeam Ultra Short Throw Projector — From $1,262, To $855

This is an older projector that’s hit an all time low price on Amazon for Prime Day projector deals this year. It does a 100-inch display from 15-inches from the wall and shoots in 1,000 ANSI lumens at 1080p. For sound, the LG HF65LA CineBeam has internal speakers, but there’s no reason not to add your own system or — if you’re more into personal watching — connecting your Bluetooth headphones directly to the projector. If there were any complaints about this projector, it was largely that the room needed to be quite dark for usage… something that shouldn’t be entirely unexpected from a projector in the first place. Again, while the LG HF65LA CineBeam is at an all-time low price on Amazon, it might be worth checking out again.

See the LG HF65LA CineBeam go from $1,262 to $855 on Amazon. That’s $407 off!

 

Anker NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector — From $2,000, To $1,540

We already knew that there would be deals on Anker portable projectors today, but not necessarily on premium products. The Anker NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector provides premium quality entertainment for either the inside of your home or the outside. It emphasizes quick setup, with quick autofocus, automatic screen fit, and seamless autofocus, and at just ~10 pounds in total weight, with a handle, you’ll be able to use these features wherever. The Anker NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector displays in 3840 x 2160p using laser projection, using a 1.27:1 throw ratio up to 150-inches, and supports HDR 10. You can utilize your own entertainment with it or use Android TV 10.0 to select something to watch from the device natively.

Check out the Anker NEBULA Cosmos Laser 4K Projector on Amazon to see why its one of the hottest Prime Day portable projector deals.

 

Prime Day TV Deals

While nothing can beat a great projector, TVs are still a mainstay of many a great home entertainment system. As with all categories of Prime Day home theater deal, there are a lot of options to choose from. Start here!

 

LG C2 Series 65-Inch Class OLED evo Smart TV — From $1,900, To $1,497

The LG C2 Series 65-Inch Class OLED evo Smart TV is $402 off today. It features 8 million OLED pixels running at 120Hz. This 65-inch TV has all of the trappings and features of a modern 4K TV, including easy usage with Netflix, Disney+, and other common streaming services. Its modern processor uses AI to detect what type of content you are displaying, then automatically adjusts your settings for max visual and audio performance. While not trying to mimic Samsung’s The Frame, also on sale for ~$500 off today, the LG OLED evo does boast a thin body which can “leave virtually no gap” when hung to the wall. Do note, however, if you choose to mount via a typical VESA mount that the LG OLED evo uses a slightly uncommon 300 x 200 mm VESA pattern, so plan accordingly.

Grab your LG C2 Series 65-Inch Class OLED evo Smart TV on Amazon today and save $402!

 

SAMSUNG 75-Inch Class QLED QN75Q60C — From $1,398, To $1,098

The key features of the Samsung Q60C series TVs, beyond display technology, revolve around making the motion on screen make sense and better connectivity with Samsung products. Though focusing on display and sound tech, respectively, both Motion Xcelerator and Object Tracking Sound Lite, are all about translating the motion of a movie or sports broadcast into a realistic sensation for the viewer. Q-Symphony 3.0 tech is designed to help enhance the connection between the Q60C and Samsung S-Series and Q-Series soundbars.

Early Prime Day Deals

The following deals were already going on before Prime Day officially launched. That doesn’t mean they still aren’t special:

Amazon Fire TVs

Amazon Fire TVs are already on sale as part of early Prime Day sales. They feature a 4K UHD screen, HDR 10 (an advanced brightness and color technology) and live Alexa control. Get some free programming or enjoy programming from your subscription services like Netflix, Disney+, etc.

Currently, the best deal on a Fire TV is the 43-inch version, which is 38% off for early Prime Day.

 

Fire TV 4K Streaming Devices

It’s probably a safe bet, at least around these parts, that you already have something to stream on. Perhaps much better than a Fire TV. That’s okay, because Amazon is selling Fire TV 4K Streaming Devices as a discounted rate already, too. One of the steepest discounts in this category is on the Fire TV Stick 4K MAX, which can be purchased at 55% off starting now. That puts it at $25 ($30 off the regular $55) and is at the lowest it’s been all year. The Fire TV Stick 4K MAX supports WiFi 6, gives you all of the same TV and Alexa access as a Fire TV, and can even stream games with its 750Mhz GPU if you have a Luna cloud gaming subscription.

 

Fire TV Accessories

If you already have a Fire TV or a Fire Stick, you can also use Prime Day deals to score some Fire TV Accessories at a discounted rate. One of our favorites is this glow in the dark Alexa Voice Remote cover, which is 43% off for the time being. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen at it since Christmas at just $8 ($6 down from its typical $14). It looks cool, but we also know you keep your specialized home theater rooms extra dark, so it might actually come in handy! There are also other colors available, for an even lower price, if glow-in-the-dark isn’t your thing.

 

Anker Outdoor Projectors and Speakers

Several Anker products that might be of interest are on sale. At this time, that includes the Anker NEBULA Mars II Pro 500, the outdoor projector with a three-hour power bank that is pictured above, and the Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker.

 

• Sony HT-S400 2.1ch Soundbar
• VIZIO Elevate Soundbar

 

FAQ — How to Buy Home Theater Prime Day Deals

Prime Day is an Amazon Prime member exclusive holiday.

Unfortunately, this confuses many people into thinking that they are excluded from the Prime Day shopping event just because they aren’t a member yet. Or, perhaps, they feel that a Prime membership is too costly to make the deals worthwhile.

In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are the questions you keep asking about Prime Day, and what’s really going on with the days’ deals:

 

Do I need to be a Prime member to enjoy Prime Day deals?

Yes, to enjoy all of Amazon’s Prime Day deals, you will need to be a Prime member. Note that there may be other sales on the site that do not require a Prime membership to obtain.

 

Is a Prime membership costly?

No, joining Amazon Prime is not considered too costly. You can even try the service for free via an Amazon Prime Free Trial, if you haven’t done so in the past 12 months. This free trial will also give you access to free two-day shipping and other Amazon Prime services, such as Amazon Music.

 

Can Amazon Prime free trial members access Prime Day deals?

Yes, as an Amazon Prime free trial member, you can still access all Prime Day deals.

 

Do other stores have Prime Day home theater deals?

While Prime Day home theater deals will be limited to Amazon, as the “holiday” is an Amazon creation, other retailers are aware of the deals. Expect to see great deals at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, as well as home theater specialty retailers during (or near) the days of the Prime Day sale. Also, note that companies that sell products directly on Amazon will likely have sales on Amazon as part of Prime Day home theater sales.
