I’m vetting the best Black Friday TV deals LIVE — save up to 50% now on LG, Samsung, Sony and more

A BIG 75-incher for a small price

One of the best Mini-LED TVs is $500 off

The Hisense U8QG Is one of the brightest Mini-LED TVs we’ve ever tested, reaching a peak brightness of over 3,000 nits. You also get vibrant colors and excellent sound from the 72W speakers and 20W subwoofer, plus great gaming performance.

The Hisense U8QG won’t disappoint. And right now you can save $500 on Amazon for Black Friday TV deals.

A 5-star TV that’s 48% reduced right now

The mid-range Mini-LED TV you should buy

Not to be outdone, Amazon now has a $69 TV

Scroll down a bit and you’ll see Best Buy’s Deal of the Day for a 24-inch Insignia TV that’s $49. Well now Amazon fired back with a deal of its own for the 32-inch version for $69.

The big difference here is screen size, obviously. There’s no difference in display technology or even resolution (it’s still just a 720p TV).

This is not the TV you want for your living room, but as a secondary screen for a kid’s room, it’s a good pick up at a (mostly) unbeatable price.

The LG’s top-value OLED TV just dropped to its lowest price again

As an entry-level set, this TV isn’t as bright or as colorful as higher-end OLED TVs, but it nevertheless delivers the benefits we love about OLED display technology: perfect black levels, razor-sharp clarity and pixel-level dimming.

This 55-inch Roku TV comes with my favorite smart platform for just $299

The Roku Select Series is the Roku TV to buy if you’re hoping to find a TV that emphasizes simple streaming and affordability above all else. It’s the set I’ve been recommending most often to folks who find TV software to be fussy and confusing.

You won’t find too many gaming features with the Roku Select Series, nor will its performance blow your hair back. Instead, this TV specializes in the most straightforward approach to streaming imaginable. Roku is intuitive in its design and robust in its app support.

Hisense’s excellent mid-range Mini-LED TV just fell below $999 for a 75-inch model

This is one of the best deals I’ve seen this week on a 75-inch TV. The Hisense U75QG falls right in the sweet spot between high-level performance and affordability, and its bright, colorful picture is much better than what you’ll find if you shop 75-inch TVs in the $600 to $800 price range.

For just under $1,000, the 75-inch U75QG comes with a well-engineered Mini-LED display, quantum dot-enhanced color and an deep selection of gaming-related features. With Google TV in tow, the U75QG is ready to be your daily portal to the world of streaming.

This is the absolute cheapest TV you’ll find today, I promise

Wow, Best Buy, you’re really going to pull out all the stops this early in the week, huh? Currently, Best Buy has a TV for $50. It’s only 24 inches and 720p (what did you expect?) but it’s still a TV for less than a pair of movie tickets in 2025.

The catch is that it’s part of Best Buy’s Deal of the Day program, which means you have less than 24 hours to buy one. But the good news is that it’s got Fire TV built-in, so you don’t need an extra streaming device to get access to Netflix and Prime Video.

If you need a super-low cost TV, this is the lowest we’re going to see.

What specs really matter this Black Friday?

It’s so easy to get hung up on price, that you forget the real reason you’re here: You want to buy a great new TV.

So the specs you really need to have to get the best experience are Full Array With Local Dimming (FALD) backlighting, Mini-LED or OLED display technology, and a refresh rate of 120Hz minimum. These specs will ensure that your contrast looks as clean as possible, and the TV won’t have a problem keeping up with the action in sports games.

In addition, gamers need to make sure that the TV has two or more HDMI 2.1 ports and some kind of support for VRR. These typically aren’t too hard to find, but if you own a PS5 or Xbox Series X, you should make sure they’re listed on the specs sheet.

This streaming device is under $20 for a limited time

TiVo’s a name you don’t hear too often these days, but it’s still kicking around making both its signature DVRs as well as affordable streaming devices like the TiVo Stream 4K.

This dongle matches the capabilities of a Roku Streaming Stick 4K or Amazon Fire TV Stick for roughly the same price. What makes it different is that it uses Android TV instead of the other smart platforms. I, for one, really like Android TV and think it’s a better interface than either Roku or Amazon Fire TV, and this is a great price for it.

So what’s the catch? Well, the TiVo Stream 4K isn’t exactly new. It came out in 2020, so the hardware’s a few years old at this point. If that doesn’t bother you, though, don’t sleep on this streaming player that’s 50% off its regular MSRP.

A 75″ TV under $400? Yes, but be careful!

I mentioned right at the beginning that I’d be dropping a few lost-cost TV options in the mix this week. Well, the Toshiba C350 is one and this Insignia 75-inch QF Series is the other. As far as cheap TVs go, neither of these are anything to write home about, but their prices are great.

So what makes this one special? Definitely its stand-out size and price. A 75-inch TV usually will set you back around $600 to $700. Insignia is selling this one at a fraction of the cost.

On top of some pretty basic specs like 4K and base-level HDR, the QF actually leverages a quantum dot film for enhanced colors and Dolby Atmos audio when you connect a compatible soundbar.

Again, it’s not winning any Tom’s Guide Awards in the near future but, for under $400, it’s a hard deal to pass up.

This 43″ 4K TV is down to $129 ahead of Black Friday

There’s going to be a lot of great deals on big-screen TVs. It’s smaller TV deals that can be difficult to track down. Thankfully, it looks like the 43-inch Toshiba C350 is already on sale at half price, so there’s no need to fret.

What I like about this model is that it’s a 4K TV with a voice remote and support for both Dolby Vision and Atmos. These are two key specs you’ll want to ensure are part of any TV you buy in 2025.

For under $150, this is the most affordable TV to pick up heading into Black Friday.

Go big or go home — this fantastic-looking, 98-inch Mini-LED TV is 50% off

We’ve been sure to highlight recent discounts on the 65- and 75-inch versions of the TCL QM7K, but I wanted to take a moment to call out the absolutely wild deal taking place right now on the 98-inch version of this TV. With just a week to go until Black Friday, you can get the 98-inch TCL QM7K for just $1,999 at Best Buy.

The QM7K marries the mighty power of Mini-LEDs with quantum dot-color, and while it isn’t quite as punchy as pricier Mini-LED TVs, you’re getting a downright impressive-looking picture that will hold up during daytime viewing.

The QM7K has also been my go-to pick this year for dedicated gamers on a budget, as it comes with nearly all of the features you’ll need for Xbox and PS5. Did I mention that this model has a 98-inch display?

One of the brightest Mini-LED TVs we’ve ever tested is 64% off today

This is one of the better early Black Friday deals you’ll come across on a 65-inch Mini-LED TV. The TCL QM8K is one of the best TVs TCL released in 2025. When we reviewed this set, one of our primary concerns was its slightly higher price when compared to the competition. With this ridiculously deep discount, those concerns melt away.

The QM8K is one of the brightest TVs we’ve tested all year, and that brightness makes it a fantastic fit for rooms that get their fair share of sunlight. This is one of the reasons I’ve been recommending this set to sports fans who watch games during the day.

This TV debuted at $2,499 and is now sitting squarely at $899. If you decided to wait to buy the QM8K, you’ve officially come out on top.

Panasonic’s sensational 55-inch OLED just crashed to $698

If you find the idea of owning an OLED TV enticing but you’ve always shied away at their relatively high price, this is the deal for you. The Panasonic Z85A — one of the top-value OLED TVs of 2024 — just crashed all the way down to $678 for a 55-inch model.

The deal is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, but it’s absolutely worth considering if you had an affordable OLED TV on your wish list this year. In addition to its superb picture quality, the Z85A comes with a heaping helping of features for streaming and gaming, too. This includes HDMI 2.1 support, Dolby Vision and a 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, the Z85A is a Fire TV, so it comes with Amazon’s streaming platform built right in.

Don’t wait! This 55-inch Mini-LED TV just crashed to $329

The TCL QM5K — a Best Buy-exclusive model — is one of the most affordable Mini-LED TVs of the year. With one week to go until Black Friday, the 55-inch version just crashed all the way down to $329. That’s over half off its usual price.

The number-one I’ve recommended the QM5K so often this year is its Mini-LED display, which allows for higher brightness and better backlight control than garden-variety, edge-lit TVs. And, in this ultra-low price range, Mini-LED backlighting is very hard to find. The QM5K also arrives with Google TV, one of my favorite streaming platforms on account of its easy-to-use layout and its vast library of downloadable apps.

It’s hard to imagine the 55-inch QM5K getting much cheaper between now and next week, so if you can’t wait for Black Friday, now’s as good a time as any.

Time is running out to save on one of last year’s best OLEDs

Last year’s top mid-range OLED, the LG C4, is seeing some steep discounts before it disappears from shelves entirely in the coming months. Right now, it’s at its lowest price ever at Walmart.

This incredible OLED TV arrives with nearly all of the same features you’ll find on the newer LG C5, including a full slate of HDMI 2.1 inputs, top-tier gaming support and Dolby Vision HDR. But because this is an older model, it’s on sale for even less.

While this TV’s price could take another tumble next week, I would recommend jumping on it now if you’re interested. It won’t be stocked on shelves for long.

Hisense 65″ U6QF Mini-LED TV

Jaw-dropping deal on Sony’s 65-inch OLED A95L

Here’s one you’re going to have to wall mount

If you’re really looking for a top-tier OLED TV then not many can outperform the LG G5. Boasting the South Korean company’s fourth-generation OLED panel, the G5 offers amazing highlight brightness and better color volume than other LG OLEDs this year.

A step up from the LG B5…

If you want something a little better than the LG B5 I mentioned below, then check out the 48-inch Samsung S90D. It’s about $400 more expensive than the B5, but that bump in price gets you an improvement in brightness. It also supports 4K gaming up to 144Hz compared to the B5’s 120Hz.
