Save on sets from LG, Samsung, Sony and more

We’re still a week away from Black Friday, but the best TV sales we’re expecting to see on the big day are already available. If you’re looking to spruce up your living room over the holidays, we’ve scoured reviews and scoured price history to find the Black Friday TV deals you should check out. Currently, that includes high-end OLEDs and budget LEDs alike from Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense and TCL. As in recent years, a few of those manufacturers started their Black Friday sales in early November, but many of the discounts below represent all-time lows. We will update this list as prices change and new discounts appear in the coming weeks.

• Hisense U6N QLED TV (55”) for $348 at Amazon ($200 off MSRP): Reviews across the web have hailed the U6N as one of the best budget TVs of the year. It’s one of the few options in its price range with mini-LED lighting, quantum dots and full-area dimming, all of which help it deliver better contrast and richer colors than most of its direct competitors. Its picture will be washed out if you’re not looking at it straight on, and its 60Hz refresh rate isn’t the best for gaming, but it’s a nice bonus all the same. Although this deal has been live for most of November, it’s still very low. Also at Best Buy. Other sizes have been similarly reduced.

• Hisense U7N QLED TV (65”) for $698 at Amazon ($300 off): The U7N is an outstanding LED TV for those who don’t want to pay for a high-end set but still can’t break the budget line. It delivers higher brightness levels and better contrast than the cheaper Hisense U6N, and it can play at 144Hz in 4K, so it has more to offer on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. Its viewing angles aren’t great, however, and it’s limited to two ports. HDMI 2.1 is perfect for games. This is another deal we’ve seen in the past few weeks, but it’s the lowest price so far for the 65-inch version. Also at Best Buy.

• Hisense U8N QLED TV (65”) for $898 at Amazon ($602 off): The U8N is another well-reviewed 2024 TV from Hisense. Like the much cheaper Hisense U7N, it offers mini-LED lighting, quantum-dot color and 4K/144Hz support, and works in place of the portable Google TV. The extra money gets you a punchier picture, with better contrast for a non-OLED TV and higher brightness across the board. This deal is binding at an all-time low. Also at Best Buy. Other sizes have been reduced as well, but note that the 55-inch version is not as bright as the larger variety, while the 75-inch set has a worse contrast. Viewing angles aren’t very wide either way.

• LG B4 OLED TV (55”) for $997 at Amazon ($200 off): B4 is LG’s 2024 OLED TV level. It gets you the key benefits of any good OLED set — excellent contrast for deep black tones, wide viewing angles, fast motion, etc. — but it’s not as bright as the top-level models, so it’s better to keep them in a dark room. We’ve seen this discount in the past, but we’re still marking the biggest drop yet. Also at Target, B&H, Best Buy and more.

• Samsung S90D QD-OLED TV (65”) for $1,398 at Amazon ($800 off): The Samsung S90D is a premium set notable for its QD-OLED panel, which mixes the advantages of a good OLED display with a layer of quantum dots. This helps it produce a wider gamut of vibrant colors, so images tend to “pop” more than they would on traditional OLED TVs like the LG B4 or C4. It also has four HDMI 2.1 ports. Like all Samsung TVs, however, it does not support the popular Dolby Vision HDR format. This discount matches the best price we’ve seen for the 65-inch model outside of store specials and one-time coupon deals. A set typically cost $200 more last month. The other sizes have been reduced in the same way, but note that only the 55-, 65- and 75-inch versions use the advanced QD-OLED technology. Also at Samsung, B&H and Best Buy.

• Samsung S95D QD-OLED TV (55”) for $1,898 at Amazon ($500 off): The S95D is Samsung’s flagship set for 2024. Its QD-OLED panel is gorgeous but stands out for having a matte finish, making it significantly more effective at blocking glare than most OLED TVs. That said, there’s no Dolby Vision, and the matte coating can make black tones look closer to gray under direct lighting. In general, it’s more TV than most people need. But if you have cash to burn, this deal is one of the cheapest. Also at Samsung and Best Buy, with other sizes on sale.

• Samsung QN90D QLED TV (43”) for $898 at Amazon ($400 off): The Samsung QN90D is another high-end LED TV for those willing to trade the deep contrast and wide viewing angles of a good OLED set for high brightness. There’s still no Dolby Vision, and many reviewers we trust suggest the Hisense U8N is a better value. This set comes with two more HDMI 2.1 ports, however, and comes in a wide range of sizes, all of which provide the same functionality. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for the 43-inch model, though again, the deal has been available for a few weeks. Other sizes have also been reduced. Also at Samsung, B&H and others.

• Samsung The Frame TV (2024) QLED TV (55”) for $878 at Woot ($620 off): Frame TV lags behind other sets in its price range in terms of picture quality, as it does not have local dimming to improve contrast. Instead, you can buy it for its style, as it is built to match a framed piece of wall art and you can use it to display original artwork on screen. Additionally, this is one of the few TVs with anti-glare coating, which helps reduce glare in bright rooms. This deal with Amazon subsidiary Woot is on a new level. Other sizes are on sale, but note that the 43- and 50-inch models have a lower 60Hz refresh rate (instead of 120Hz) and a lack of refresh rate technology. It’s also available for $20 more at Amazon, Best Buy and Samsung.

• TCL Q550F QLED TV (55”) for $250 at Best Buy ($200 off): The TCL Q5 is a basic LED TV with no local dimming or HDMI 2.1 ports and a 60Hz refresh rate. This model also runs Amazon’s Fire OS software, which isn’t as clean as other platforms. Most people should find the Hisense U6N better looking than that. But if you really want to save an extra $100 or just need a cheap TV for the back room, it should do the job. This discount for the 55-inch model is the best we’ve come across.

• TCL Q68 QLED TV (55”) for $300 at Woot ($200 off): The Q68 is another cheap LED TV that is close to the picture quality of the Hisense U6N, although it should offer better contrast than the TCL Q5 due to its local dimming feature. Like the Q5 and U6N, it can also play at a 120Hz refresh rate if you downscale to 1080p or 1440p, which is great for gaming. If you don’t want to spend more than $300 for a 55-inch set, this is the lowest price we’ve found for this particular model.

• TCL QM8 QLED TV (65”) for $1,000 at Amazon ($500 off): If the Hisense U8N is not available, the TCL QM8 looks like a decent alternative. It could be brighter, according to the reviewers we trust, but it has the worst brightness. We’ve seen this discount a few times in recent months, but it marks the all-time low for the 65-inch variant. Also at Best Buy.

• Sony Bravia 7 QLED TV (55”) for $1,298 at Amazon ($402 off): The Bravia 7 is a relatively premium set with mini-LED lighting to enhance contrast and quantum dots to enhance colors. Reviews suggest that it offers accurate colors out of the box and does well at retaining detail in low-resolution content, so it’s worth considering the Hisense U8N if that’s your main concern. It only has two HDMI 2.1 ports, however, and it’s another LED TV with moderate viewing angles. Most people will be very happy with an OLED TV at this price, even though this price is very low. And at Walmart and B&H, other sizes have been similarly reduced.

• Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $33 at Amazon ($27 off): This is the new bottom of Amazon’s top streaming stick, which works fast and supports all major streaming applications and HDR formats. We found it incredibly flexible as a gaming device, too, though you’ll have to put up with a heavy interface that promotes Prime Video and other Amazon services above all else. Also at Target, Best Buy and more.

• Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for $22 at Amazon ($28 off): The regular Fire TV Stick 4K offers the same basic experience as the 4K Max for the price – for better or for worse – but comes with a slower processor, half as much storage (8GB) and Wi-Fi 6 instead of super-fast Wi-Fi . -Fi 6E. Still, this is a decent value if you just want 4K-capable streaming for as little as possible. This deal is one of the lowest. Also at Target, Best Buy and more.

• Roku Ultra (2024) for $80 at Amazon ($20 off): The Roku Ultra is overkill for most people, but it might be worth it if you like Roku’s simple UI and need a full-featured box with Ethernet and USB ports. Unlike the Roku Streaming Stick 4K, it comes bundled with a rechargeable remote that supports voice controls, a lost remote finder tool and backlit buttons. (You can buy that separately, though.) This latest model also has a faster processor and support for Wi-Fi 6. This discount is tied for the lowest price we’ve tracked. Also at Roku, B&H and others.
