Whether you're a college freshman settling into your small dorm room or a senior scholar returning to a deluxe suite this semester, it's time to decorate. 

One must-have item on every college dorm essentials list is a brand-spanking new TV. Luckily for college students and parents, finding an affordable small TV for a dorm is a lot easier these days. 

For example, you can get the latest TCL 43" Q65 QLED 4K TV for just $247.99 at Amazon ($100 off). It's the lowest price I've seen for this TV since its May 2024 launch. 

Although the recommended best TV size for a dorm room ranges from 32 to 43 inches, however, in some instances you can size up. As sister site Tom's Guide points out, if you can sit at least 3 feet away from the screen, don't hesitate to size up a little. 

Early Labor Day TV sales start now with fantastic discounts on TVs fit for a dorm room. See my recommended dorm room TVs below — one for as low as $119.
