Even though it’s the next day, Black Friday deals are still in full swing as we transition to Cyber Monday. So even if you didn’t score a cheap TV deal yesterday, there’s plenty of great discounts available now on top-rated TVs.
And if there’s one TV deal that you should take a closer look at today it’s the LG C2 42” OLED on sale for $899 at Best Buy. That’s $400 off the TV’s original price.
If you’ve yet to own an OLED TV, the LG C2 is the best place to start. While it might not be as affordable as a basic 4K LCD TV, OLED quality is a game-changer. Whether it’s for immersive gaming or a blockbuster movie night, OLED’s contrast, brightness control and color reproduction can’t be beat.
Looking to score a 50-inch QLED TV for cheap ahead of Cyber Monday? Amazon has the Hisense U6 Series for a whopping 43% off its regular $529 sticker price, making it one of the best deals going on right now. Besides having a quantum dot filter, this TV uses a full array panel, supports regular HDR, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR formats, and comes with Amazon’s Fire TV smart platform built-in.
So Black Friday proper is over, but the deals have barely slowed down. That’s because Cyber Monday is coming, and with it you can expect to see a fresh clutch of TV deals alongside those that are already live.
Should you wait for Cyber Monday? Yes and no. If you’ve spotted a TV you really want at a discount price, then now is the time to take the plunge and get it just in case stock sells out. If you’re waiting for a particular model to be sliced in price, then it may be worthwhile to wait until Cyber Monday; in short, let the deals guide you.
Look what just dropped back down to its lowest price ever. The LG C2 OLED 55-inch has crashed to $1,296 on Amazon (opens in new tab), which is about $500 off one of the best TVs we’ve ever tested.
In our LG C2 OLED review, we said this set is the best OLED TV for a premium entertainment experience. Top-tier performance, plenty of port options and great gaming features all come together in a sleek package.
When watching Top Gun: Maverick, “we were blown away with the motion handling of the speeding fighter jets.” The LG C2 OLED TV’s internal speakers are also upgraded from 5.1.2 channel to 7.1.2 channel sound, complete with Dolby Atmos support and an AI sound feature that creates a more immersive soundscape.
Add it all up and you have an epic Black Friday TV deal.
• LG 65″ 83-Series QNED 4K TV: was 1,699 now $999 @ Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The LG 83 series offers excellent brightness and stunning picture quality, support for Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos and access to the excellent WebOS 6.0 operating system. It also has a refresh rate of 120Hz and HDMI 2.1 support, making it a good TV for gamers.
LED TVs are less expensive than OLED sets, but haven’t managed to reach the same heights in picture quality just yet. This is where QNED comes in. This technology closes the gap in quality between LED and OLED, offering higher levels of detail and contrast than LED TVs normally allow. This 2022 LG QNED TV has been discounted by a whopping $700, making it cheaper than most OLED TVs of its size.
• Samsung 50-Inch Class Neo QLED QN9DA: was $799 now $639 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
This is one deal you want to hurry on, as it’s a lightning deal on Amazon, and of this writing, is already 30% sold out. This 50-inch QLED set is about a year old — it came out in 2021 — but uses Samsung’s quantum dot technology to boost this set to near OLED levels in terms of image quality. It has one HDMI 2.1 port and three HDMI 2.0 ports, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and an AI-based processor to enhance both image and audio from the set. If you want something larger, the 65-inch model is also on sale for $1,078, down from $1,347.
The TCL 5-Series Google TV (S546) is currently on sale for $100 off its regular listing price. This deal gets you a 65-inch QLED 4K TV with great color quality and smooth motion. In our TCL 5-Series Google TV (S546) review, not only did we give this TV a 4.5 star rating but it was also an editor’s choice pick due to the addition of premium smart features. It’s also one of the best TVs under $1000.
If you are looking for a really large TV without wanting to shell out too much, this LG 75-inch 4K UHD TV is a good option. It has all the smarts of a modern TV, including an impressive 4K Quad Core Processor that enhances picture quality and sound. One of the best features of this TV is also that it has a home dashboard that easily lets you control all connected devices like a gaming console or a sound bar. It is easy to use and even shows the local weather. Gamers might enjoy the Game Optimizer option that gives you quick access to all game settings, automatically adjusting the picture for optimized graphics. It’s not the best TV of the year by any means, but thanks to this deal, it’s one of the cheaper options.
The Samsung Frame TV is one of the best QLED TVs you can buy right now, but crucially it doesn’t just function as a TV. This novel concept takes a traditional television and makes it instead look more like a picture frame. It has an innovative design that looks like a work of art and when you’re not using the Samsung Frame to watch TV shows and movies, it can be set to display family photos or famous artwork. If you are an art lover and want a taste of everything in your living room, this is a TV that won’t disappoint.
All week, I’ve been getting questions from readers about my Hisense U8H review and whether or not they should pick one up before Black Friday. As much as I liked Hisense’s Mini-LED TV, having given it a 4-star rating, I’ve been on the fence about a recommendation given how many other TV deals there are this week.
But then I saw that the Hisense U8H had dropped in price and is now available for $599 at Amazon (opens in new tab) for Black Friday.
In my review of the Hisense U8H, I heaped praise on the TV for its excellent brightness and contrast due to the use of its Mini-LED backlight. On top of those specs advantages, the Hisense U8H supports Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos and rocks two 10W speakers and a 20W woofer for ultimate TV sound. For gamers, the Hisense U8H supports auto-low latency mode and 120Hz VRR. Just watch out: Two of its ports will support 4K@120Hz, while the other two only support 4K@60Hz. Having all four of them be full-spec HDMI 2.1 would’ve been great, but two are better than none. The cherry on top of this TV? The Hisense U8H has an ATSC 3.0 tuner that will enable it to watch NextGen TV over-the-air broadcasts. Not every broadcaster has adopted the new standard, but anyone with a Hisense U8H will be ready for them as they roll out across the country.
Speaking of QLED TVs, there’s an excellent deal going on for Samsung’s mid-range Q80B QLED TV that one of our staffers picked up a few weeks ago.
“I bought this TV back in October after my old TV broke,” says our How To Editor, Peter Wolinski. “I have to admit, I didn’t know much about the Q80B or Samsung TVs in general, and just wanted a 50” QLED for a reasonable price, with respectable sound and from a reputable brand (given my old TV’s panel broke itself). Boy, did I accidentally pick the perfect TV for me.
“The Samsung Q80B’s 4K QLED panel really is beautiful. It offers great contrast and rich, deep colors thanks to Samsung’s Quantum XDR technology. It’s bright enough that I’ve had no trouble watching in daylight with the TV placed next to a window, too. I can also vouch for the viewing angles, as we have a pretty odd set up in our lounge thanks to a large dog crate. The image remains accurate even at wide angles.”
If you want a great 50-inch model – potentially one of the best available right now – then check out the Q80B that’s down to just $779 @ Amazon.
You know that OLED TVs are great, but did you know that there’s a better TV technology that just came out this year? It’s called QD-OLED, and it blends the quantum dots of Samsung’s QLED TVs with an OLED panel.
When it launched, Samsung’s first QD-OLED sold for close to $3,000 but, for a limited time, the 65-inch Samsung S95B OLED 4K Smart TV is on sale for $1,797 at Amazon (opens in new tab). That’s a massive $1,200 off its full list price of $2,997.
In our Samsung S95B OLED TV review, we said “The innovative Samsung S95B combines Samsung’s consumer electronics know-how with the best aspects of both OLED and quantum dot technology.” We praised its superb picture quality — even if its blacks are imperfect — and also loved its gaming credentials with a seriously low input lag of just 9.2ms making it pair perfectly with next-gen consoles.
75-inch and 85-inch TVs are pretty massive, but there’s one TV on sale today that’s bigger than all the rest.
Right now the TCL 98″ XL Collection 4K QLED TV is on sale for $4,999 at Best Buy. I know that’s still a good chunk of change, but the massive set normally costs $8,499. That means this Black Friday TV deal takes $3,500 off regular price, making this one of the most significant savings opportunities we’ve seen for Black Friday yet.
The TCL 98″ QLED 4K TV is a fully-loaded Google TV, meaning it’s packed with smart features. Not only can you use it to watch all your favorite streaming services (Netflix, Disney Plus and Hulu, to name a few) but it also integrates with your Google Home devices. Plus, an array of 4 HDMI ports is plenty for all your peripherals, whether it’s a soundbar or gaming console
When it comes to Black Friday TV deals, some folks are happy when they find a 32-inch TV for under $100. Others, however, are hunting bigger game – like a 70-inch screen for under $500.
If that’s you, here are all the best big-screen TV deals we’ve seen so far.
When I’m asked for recommendations for an affordable mid-range TV, I typically recommend either TCL or Sony. The TCL 6-Series holds a spot in my heart as one of the best value TVs, but Sony’s X80 Series is a close second.
Equipped with the X1 Processor and TRILUMINOS Pro display, the X80K should deliver a bright, colorful and clear picture that puts older models to shame.
With close to 600 reviews and a 4.5 rating, this 2022 model has the mettle to stand up to other great mid-rangers like the TCL 6-Series and Vizio M-Series Quantum, but comes with Google TV built-in to help it stand apart from the competition.
If you’re in the market for a new 2022 mid-range model, the Sony X80K is a great option.
If you want a Black Friday TV deal that hits the sweet spot in terms of price and size, the Amazon Fire TV 4 Series is a good place to start. This 55-inch set delivers a sharp 4K picture with support for HDR 10, HLG and Dolby Digital Plus.
The Fire TV 4 Series makes it easy to launch your favorite streaming services, and you get an Alexa Voice Remote to find find apps, movies and shows. You also get 3 HDMI ports along with HDMI eARC support.
Not bad at all for under $300 for Black Friday.
I’ve been writing about this deal all week, but I just have to keep reminding people that there’s an OLED TV for under $600. That’s never happened before, so it’s a pretty huge deal.
In our LG A2 OLED review, we said it delivered outstanding picture quality with wide viewing angles, perfect blacks and very good color reproduction for the price. You also get above-average sound quality and low input lag. We also really like the webOS platform LG uses to power its smart TVs. It’s slick, responsive and easy to use.
There are some drawbacks to the LG A2 OLED, including a 60Hz refresh rate (120Hz is better), and HDMI 2.0 ports instead of the newer HDMI 2.1. But unless you’re a gamer you likely won’t care too much.
