UPDATE: Nov. 30, 2024, 12:45 p.m. EST This post has been updated with the latest pricing on the best TV deals still live the day after Black Friday, including new top picks for the best deals in each size.
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.
If you've been on the internet much in the past few years, you're also well aware that Black Friday doesn't end on Black Friday, and that stampeding into stores isn't really necessary anymore. The same TV deals can be found all weekend long online.
The types of TVs spotlighted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday have shifted, however. The biggest factor when upgrading your TV this year will probably be the newfound 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 actually 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. There are even dupes of iconic TVs like Samsung's The Frame now — TCL and Hisense both have budget-friendly art TV options for several hundred dollars less than The Frame in most sizes.
At any rate, the "best" TV deal for one household won't be the "best" TV deal for another. Rather than jumping between a mess of tabs of every store's TV doorbusters, knowing which type of TVs each big retailer tends to focus on is a way smarter strategy going in.
Are TV deals better at Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart?
In my 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 a more concise list of doorbusters that are often simply the cheapest 4K TV possible in a certain size, specifically options in the 50- to 75-inch range that are more likely to sell out than TVs at other retailers. However, there's been a bit of a plot twist with cheap 43-inch to 65-inch QLEDs this year — Best Buy is kind of stealing Walmart's spotlight on that one.
The TV wheelhouses of these retailers don't completely bar any overlap between TV deals, though. A handful of popular models with big-name recognition (again, The Frame or LG's B3) are seeing price matches across multiple retailers, but we'll keep you posted if one retailer is able to undercut the others on one of these heavy hitters.
Though actual Black Friday has passed on the calendar, almost all of the best Black Friday TV deals are still live as of Saturday, Nov. 30. The list below will be refreshed regularly throughout the weekend as it morphs into Cyber Monday, complete with a head's up when deals sell out — or when surprise new Cyber Week deals drop.
All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing. Any deal marked with a ? has dropped to a record-low price at Amazon, or matches Amazon's lowest price.
One more thing: If you're getting rid of an old TV to make room for this Black Friday purchase, take it somewhere that recycles old electronics (like Best Buy) rather than trashing it.
Best Black Friday TV deal
Why we like it
Shopping for a TV on the bigger end of the spectrum doesn't automatically mean you'll be paying the big bucks. Not when the best Black Friday 75-inch TV deal gets you a QLED model for less than $500. That's just more proof that QLEDs are way more accessible for the average household now than they were a few years ago. Back then, you were lucky if you found a 75-inch regular LED TV that didn't break $500.
The difference between regular LED and QLED is that "Q," stands for quantum dots. They form an extra layer of extra light particles over the traditional LED panel to pump out a wider, more saturated range of colors. QLED TVs are also significantly brighter than regular LED TVs, making them a much better choice for watching sports, especially in the daytime.
