A quick look at the best early Black Friday TV deals
As one of the OG items being stampeded after in those old Black Friday clips you’re picturing right now, we’ve known for most of our adult lives that Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a TV.
The types of TVs spotlighted in the pre-holiday sale have shifted, however. The biggest factor when upgrading your TV this year will probably be the normalization — and subsequently, affordability — of QLED. Over the past few years, QLED TVs have officially gone from “the TV that only the fanciest people you know have” to quite accessible for the average household. Finding a 55-inch QLED under $300 or a 65-inch QLED under $500 during an event like Black Friday isn’t hard at all.
Are TV deals better at Amazon or Best Buy?
At any rate, the types of TV deals you can find might depend on which retailer you’re looking at. In our experience, Best Buy focuses on large screens and has a bigger selection of premium QLED and OLED models from Samsung, Sony, and LG on sale. Amazon gears its TV discounts more toward 43-inch to 65-inch Fire TVs, especially its in-house models. Walmart is known for doorbusters on one or two models that’ll make your jaw drop, but are likely to sell out quickly.
