UPDATE: Nov. 5, 2021 1 p.m. EDT A slew of Samsung QLED TVs are a part of Amazon’s early Black Friday deals.

We’ve gathered the best deals on 4K TVs ahead of Black Friday. These are the top ones to consider as of Nov. 5:

Samsung 65-inch Neo QLED QN800 8K TV — $2,499.99 ~~$3,499.99~~ (save $1,000)
LG 65-inch C1 Series OLED 4K TV — $1,796.99 ~~$2,499.99~~ (save $603)
Sony 75-inch X80J 4K UHD TV — $1,049 ~~$1,399.99~~ (save $350)

TVs are always a huge ticket item during Black Friday. Last year, Best Buy devoted 10 pages of its Black Friday ad scan to TVs alone. And we’re expecting a whole lot of awesome deals again for Black Friday 2021.

And because The Brands have largely said “screw it” about following the actual Black Friday schedule and are just hosting their own events throughout October and November, there are already some great 4K TV deals to shop well ahead of Nov. 26.

Tips for buying a TV on Black Friday

This is the time to splurge on that fancy TV that can turn your basement into a home theater. Or grab an extra TV for the garage or spare room. Black Friday is no longer a one-day or weekend-long event. It spans multiple months, and the best deals aren’t just reserved for the day after Thanksgiving.

Really nice QLED and 4K TVs will go on sale throughout October and November, so we recommend hopping on a good deal when you see one. Supply chain and shipping delays are sure to hit hard this holiday season, so whenever you can get ahead of them and score a deal early, you should take advantage.

What we expect from Black Friday 2021

In actuality, Black Friday is running throughout October and November. A few great TV deals are already live for Walmart’s first Deals for Days event on Nov. 3 and confirmed for its second event on Nov. 10. Best Buy, which was running a sort of weekly savings event for a while is straight up guaranteeing Black Friday prices at this point. Amazon is continuously adding to an early Black Friday deals page, and silently dropping even better Daily Deals.

These deals are evidence that QLED is getting more affordable, given 55-inch models under $700 and 65-inch models under $1,000. If you’re fine with regular 4K LED, you could score a new Samsung 60-inch TV for under $550 at Walmart. Also keep an eye out for deals on Hisense, TCL, and onn. They’re not as top-tier in name recognition, but you can often find a pretty nice TV for only a couple hundred bucks.

$1,049 at Amazon (save $350)

Why we love it

Sony’s X80J series is an affordable-yet-capable line of 4K panel TVs introduced in early 2021. The TVs continue to see little discounts here and there since their launch in the spring, but $1,049 is a record-low price for this 65-inch model. For just over $1,000, you pin down customized upscaling with Sony’s new X1 processor.

Other TV deals from TCL, Vizio, more

TV with colorful screensaver and text "TCL QLED"

Credit: TCL

Our pick: TCL 55-inch 5-Series QLED 4K TV

$499.99 at Best Buy (save $150)

Why we love it

It’s a mid-size QLED TV for under $500. Need we say more? TCL’s 5 Series still utilizes quantum dots, which build a layer between LEDs and the screen to make hues pop and deepen contrast. If you’ve never dabbled with HDR before, this brightness is game-changing — even if it’s not the pop provided by a high-end Samsung QLED.
