No Need To Wait! These Early Black Friday TV Deals Are As Good As It Gets

“Do you think the Black Friday deals are better now or should I wait until Thanksgiving night to grab my new TV?” my mom asked me literally last night. My answer to her and a tip for you: There’s no reason to wait if you already see a good sale in your budget. Early Black Friday sales have started at all your favorite retailers and in my professional opinion, the Cyber Week TV deals are mostly as good as they’ll get. That’s give or take some online deals and a few “doorbusters.” (And do you really want to be busting through crowded doors on a still-full belly on November 28?)
With so many TVs out there, you might be feeling overwhelmed trying to hunt down the best bang for your buck during a major sales event like Cyber Week. Fear not — we’ve done the work for you and rounded up the TV deals you won’t want to miss. We’ve also already noticed a couple sales appearing and disappearing, so take that as a sign not to wait too long to jump on one of these discounts while you still can. Plus, just imagine how nice it’ll be to kick back and watch a show on your brand-new screen come Black Friday, while the rest of the shopping world scrambles to catch up…

This 50-inch Roku smart TV that reviewers swear is “picture perfect” and has “top-notch” sound quality is already $100 off on Amazon, dropping it to the cheapest price it’s ever been per our trackers.
This 50-incher features a sharp 4K resolution plus HDR10+ color, contrast, and brightness. For your literal viewing pleasure, it’s also got auto-brightness, so it’ll adjust based on the lighting in your room. You’ll also get a host of streaming apps, live TV and per reviewers, it’s super easy and quick to set up.
Promising review: “I love this TV!!! The sound quality and picture quality is top notch. I’ve had several Roku sticks but this is my first Roku TV. I’m glad that I purchased it. I can also watch regular TV with an antenna that I purchased from Walmart for $10. I was able to get more than 50 channels with the antenna. Live TV is one of the apps on the Roku TV so that worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend buying this TV.” — Vivian Ballard”
The 50′s big sister, the 55-inch Roku smart TV, is also available on a very good deal as it’s 20% off today (making it cheaper than its Prime Day price).
You’ll be hard-pressed to find an expert who’ll name the best smart TV brands and skip Samsung. The brand is known for crisp picture quality, great sound and durability. I’d grab this ultra-slim 55-inch Samsung TV in a heartbeat if I didn’t already have one in my living room.
Originally priced at $799.99, it’s dropped over the past few months. Today, thanks to an early Black Friday sale, the TV is marked down to the lowest price of the year and you’ll get over $100 in savings.
If you want to remain within the Samsung ecosystem but save a few more coins, then this early Black Friday sale on a Samsung 55” Class DU6900 smart TV is your best bet. While your picture won’t be powered by the advanced quantum technology (that’s the “QLED” in the previous option), you still get the size and the 4K image resolution (even on older shows and movies not shot in 4K!).
Note: This falls just short of our usual 15% off threshold, but we make certain exceptions for bigger ticket items.
Promising review: “epic tv especially for the price, i went to walmart to see which had the best color and samsung was by far the most vivid and best contrast.” — Timothy
The famed Samsung Frame is equal parts practical and aesthetically pleasing. It’s a QLED TV, has 4K ultra-high definition, boasts Bluetooth capabilities and features an anti-glare, anti-reflection matte display screen for your viewing pleasure.
Aesthetically, it’s a slim, space-saving display that can go into “Art Mode” when you aren’t watching, giving off the look of a luxurious, framed art piece in your space.Grab it while it’s a steal at 40% off.
Slightly cheaper, because it’s slightly smaller albeit just as useful and beautiful is the 50-inch Samsung Frame that’s up to 36% off at Target and Amazon.
My mom plans to go big for her next TV, upgrading from a 55-inch machine to a whopping 75 inches — and this was one of the first options I sent her way. This Hisense smart TV is a great budget buy if you want a bigger screen but prefer not to spend, say, Samsung prices. It’s $200 off at Walmart right now.
Promising review: “The updated Hisense UHD R6 series tv’s are fantastic! Great clarity and sound. No soundbar needed. The Roku remote is very easy to use – no useless buttons that screw everything up if accidentally touched. I’ve replaced all my TV’s with the R6 series, and got great deals when on sale. Very happy customer!” — CookieMonster
Got a small space and prefer not to go too big with your television or budget? Turn your attention toward this highly rated HD TV that’s 42% off right now, dropping it to under $100! Like the larger Insignia on this list, you’ll get the Alexa voice control and loads of streaming apps.
Promising review: “I bought this small Fire TV recently and I’m really happy with it. The picture quality is great for the size, and the sound is clear enough for a bedroom or small living room. It was easy to set up and the Fire TV interface is simple to use, with all the apps I needed like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime Video. The Alexa feature is super handy for voice controls, though the remote buttons could be a bit bigger. Overall, it’s a solid choice for the price and works well in smaller spaces.” — Kenisha B.
If you want to go a tad bigger with your TV and finally cut your cable cord, then get into this 75-inch beauty from LG. The device offers the 4K picture we’ve all come to expect from smart TVs but also various streaming apps, 300+ free exclusive LG channels, AI-upgraded sound and “FILMMAKER MODE™” that lets you watch films in their original formatting. This TV is great for movie buffs, gamers, cord cutters and heavy streamers. Grab it for 25% off right now at Target.

You can save about $250 with this deal on a 65-inch Hisense smart TV. The TV promises IMAX picture quality and QLED color for a stunning visual experience, and the low-reflection screen minimizes annoying glares when you’re watching in a sunlit room.
People LOVE this 65-inch Insignia TV — over 10,000 people to be exact, per the 5-star reviews. Typically sitting at $449, it’s now on sale for over $100 off.
The Insignia is a FireTV with 2160p resolution, Alexa voice control and a slew of apps so you can stream to your heart’s desire.
Promising review: “I’ve had this television for around a month now, and I love it. I’d been lusting after a 65 inch for MONTHS, and I just happened to catch this one on sale. I’ve enjoyed having either fire tv’s, Roku’s or vizio’s, so this tv fell right in line with my usual choices. I got home, connected the tv, signed in, and loaded all my usual apps on to the tv and I was up and running as if I’d had the tv for months already. Can’t go wrong with a fire tv (in my own personal opinion). I’ve just recently mounted it and I can’t complain even a little. If you see this tv on sale, BUY IT!!!” — KAries96
“Can’t beat the price. This is a great TV. The value for the money was too good to pass up on. The TV is extremely sturdy and well built. The size is accurate to as described in the description. The tv is slim and easy to install. It has a great clear picture and is very sharp. The tv is easy to use and has a ton of great features. It easily connects to your WiFi and you can easily connect your Amazon accounts.great tv for the price. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!” — Matt Baker
All screen sizes are welcome here, including this little 24-inch Roku smart TV by Westinghouse. With 4.7 stars across more than 6,300 ratings on Target, it’s earned quite the reputation for being a good small-size option. This is a Roku TV so it’ll provide access to tons of streaming apps plus free live channels. It also works with Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant for easy operation. The resolution is slightly lower than others on our list at 720p, but with the smaller screen size and sub-$100 price, we think the purchase is still worth it — and reviewers appear to agree.
Promising review: “This is a great little TV, power packed with features, and ready to stream anything. It looks nice, the built in ROKU is easy to use, and has many features. Great value, and perfect for a bedroom, dorm room, or anywhere you want a smaller TV.” — TheCandyMan
This premium TV boasts a “super ultra wide” view and vibrant color thanks to the OLED display. It also has an AI-powered processor and 3D surround sound.
Promising review: “This surpassed my expectations with the clarity, brilliance, and definition of images on the screen. It brings a new level of perception to all broadcasts but is especially great when you can identify blades of grass on football fields and golf courses. There is a depth to the picture when viewing programs that bring scenes to reality. Such detail is amazing. The additional brightness of the screen helps with my aging eyes.Totally blown away with this TV. It is definitely a 2 person setup though. Big, and heavy enough to require 2 people just to be safe.” — Mark K
Who says the living room is the only place for a TV? This Sylvox kitchen TV is built to fit in a tight space, so you can watch cooking tutorials or shows right from your own kitchen. The flip-down screen can be rotated horizontally or vertically to make the most of limited space in your kitchen, and the small size doesn’t sacrifice picture quality, which is 1080p HD. It’s also helpful for RVs, kid’s rooms and other quaint spaces!
Promising review: “The product is very easy to use and I really like it. The high-definition and delicate images are clearly visible in every frame.” — Alva Pepys
If you’re going to go big in your home this season, then treat yourself to Samsung’s crystal UHD. You’ll get the 4K upscaling and motion Xcelerator which translates to you probably not doing much better picture-wise other than if you invited The Rock or Denzel Washington into the living room with you! It’s $200 off nearly all of your favorite retailers.
Promising Amazon review: “TV itself is awesome. I replaced a 65″ I had for about 10 years. Picture & sound are great. Zero regrets. I did purchase a Samsung compatible remote as I was not a fan of the one that came with it.” — Amazon Customer
Promising Walmart review: “I’m really shocked at the price of this TV. I compared it to Best Buy. Needless to say, I grabbed it quick! Picture is clear, and if you have WiFi you can cancel cable. This TV has local and cable channels built in!” — Phillis
Sony has entered the chat! OK, for starters: Amazon’s big red sign says it’s 33% off but per our trackers, the TV usually sits at $1298. With a discount dropping it to $998, you’ll score $300 off which is really a 23% discount.
Beyond the savings, the 85-inch Samsung Google TV is pretty well-liked with a 4.2-star rating. It features a 4K HD picture, a lightning-fast processor, exclusive features for the PlayStation 5 if that’s your jam and loads of streaming apps. You can operate it all by remote or via voice thanks to Ask Google.
You’ll also be pleased to know that reviewers report safe, damage-free delivery with this larger-than-life TV.
Promising review: “When it comes to electronics, I’m very hard to please. But this product was far and beyond my expectation’s. I purchased the 65 in model for a large bedroom and works perfectly. The delivery was very fast, and the product was delivered with firstclass service by Amazon. The picture clarity is amazingly amazing- This google tv is very smart, but be prepared to set up a Google account during start up. However, I made one specifically for the tv itself. Trust me, you will not regret this purchase for the price. I recommend this product for anyone looking for upgrade or just want to add to a large room…” — Jeffery Chambers
If the 75-inch LG smart TV sounded excellent to you but you’ve got a lot more space to fill in your home, then nab LG’s 86-inch version which has the streaming apps, the 300 free channels, the filmmaker mode for the movie buffs and everything else the 75-incher offers — all with a larger screen perfect for family viewings, series watch parties and movie nights. Originally sitting at $1299.99 online, you can grab it for 23% off right now which is around $300 off.
Promising review: “First time buying an LG Tv and absolutely love it! The picture is clear and crisp and has great sound. With the connectivity to the world of streaming the channel list is unlimited. I would highly recommend this product” — Casper64
Listen, Amazon’s big red sign conveys 52% off but our trackers reveal something different, although the deal is still smokin’ good. While the 98-inch TCL smart TV debuted at $2999.99, it’s mostly sat at $1998. Today, it’s $500 off (so a 27% discount), dropping it below its Prime Day price to its lowest price of the year. Nab the 98-inch TCL while it’s hiding in plain sight on Amazon!
Promising review: “This tv we bought during prime day is great! Has all the smart features and apps. Finding an 85 inch tv for the price was a shocker. It is no OLED details and video quality but it also doesn’t have the OLED premium. Great value for someone who wants a huge tv for a decent price.” — Jeffrey Huang
“The picture is amazing!! I already have a Google account which made set up a breeze. I like having the ability to cast from my phone to the TV. I was worried about the lower 60hz refresh rate but I haven’t seen any issues that would make me regret not getting the 120hz. For the money I really haven’t seen anything comparable. I had a Samsung for the last 6 years that I spent almost 2k for and this TV blows it away. If it last 3-4 years I would definitly buy from this brand again. The only con I have so far is the hdmi needs to be selected everytime you turn the TV on. I use spectrum for cable which means I have to keep 2 remotes. My old TV automatically kept it on hdmi. Not sure if there’s something in the settings that I could change?” — Shane Parrish
If the Samsung Frame is your dream TV and you’re really gunning for making a huge splash in your home, then I say go for the 85-inch while it’s $1300 off.
Promising review: “What genius came up with this concept? My TV is off more than it’s on so I love that this Samsung Frame TV displays beautiful artwork when it’s off. Their library has over 5000 images for about $60/year. You can choose work from the masters or display your own photos. You can choose one static image or rotate through how ever many you want. It’s easy to use, even for the non-tech savvy among us. The set itself is very thin and has great picture and sound qualities. We enjoy this so much beyond just watching programs – I highly recommend!” — Happilyretired
