Be it inclement weather, the need to escape from friends and family, or the desire to save a buck, Black Friday is a great time to consider a new TV purchase. After all, many of the best brands will have deep discounts on models both old and new, giving you the opportunity to snag a new viewing experience for a song. Plus, with everything from holiday specials to NFL playoffs coming up, it’s easy to justify a brand new screen to view them with.
But though there are plenty of excellent options during this consumer holiday, there are also a few brands you should avoid. Never fear, dear consumers — we’ve got you covered. Here are the best Black Friday TV deals, from affordable sets for smaller rooms to massive home theater options that will wow your friends and neighbors during your next viewing party.
This time of year is also the perfect opportunity to save money on a great upgrade. Whether it’s a jump from 1080p to the full glory of 4K and HDR, or perhaps the improved contrast of a local-dimming LED panel, at these prices, there’s going to more pleasure, and a lot less pain.
More and more TVs are coming equipped with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, so keep an eye out for these models — they might save you from needing to buy a smart speaker.
