Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great opportunities to get the 4K TV of your dreams for a lower price than usual. These shopping days wrap up what has been a great year of getting your hands on a fantastic TV for much less than MSRP. While some of our picks are sold out online, you might get lucky with availability at your local Best Buy.
Whether you want a simple choice with Roku, Fire TV or Google TV streaming software, or one that packs heaps of features on top of premium picture quality, there’s something for you among the deals we’ve found from brands like TCL, Insignia and LG.
The best Black Friday 4K TV deals still available
55-inch Toshiba C350 Fire TV
If you want the most TV for your money, Toshiba’s 65-inch C350 Fire TV with Amazon’s streaming guts built in $429.99 at Amazon. Toshiba’s 50-inch C350 Fire TV with Amazon’s streaming guts built in $259.99 at Amazon. It doesn’t deliver comparable contrast and brightness that you’ll find in more expensive models, but it can provide everything you want. This 2021 model has thin bezels and the panel has Dolby Vision and HDR10 support for a more cinematic and true-to-life picture quality. Plus, it has a handy Alexa-based remote that you can bark voice commands into.
An affordable 4K LED TV with built-in Fire TV technology. This model stands out from the many other Fire TV Edition models with support for Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10.
55″ or 65″ TCL 5 Series S546
The next recommendation continues to go in and out of stock at Best Buy, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for during Black Friday. TCL’s 55-inch 5 Series S546 is only $200 at Best Buy – no wonder it’s sold out. You should check availability in your area and hope you get lucky.
Even without that massive price cut, Best Buy’s price of $499 for the 65-inch version is still pretty good – if it’s still available in your area. This 4K TV also has a QLED panel like the Insignia above, but it’s notable for having Google TV software and support for HDR10 Plus and Dolby Vision HDR standards. It has a 60Hz panel, so while it’s great for movies and TV shows, it doesn’t deliver high refresh rates to unlock the graphical potential of a PS5 or Xbox Series X (if that matters to you).
TCL’s 5 Series S546 has a brilliant QLED panel, supports variable refresh rate and uses the Google TV platform. It also comes with support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision and HDR10 Plus, just like the latest 6 Series.
Next is the reliable one 55-inch TCL 6 Series TV, which is still in stock online as of publication. It’s hard to get more for your money as it only costs $599.99 at Best Buy, a saving of $100. It has many key features that gamers look for in a TV, namely HDMI 2.1 ports that can deliver 4K resolution up to 120 Hz, and a Mini LED panel that allows games – and all the others – look better than your average QLED or LED TV. Read our review.
The 2022 R646 is the latest model in TCL’s 6 Series range. The TV features 4K HDR and Mini LED backlighting, along with support for HDR10 Plus and 4K gaming at 120Hz. More importantly, it runs on Google TV software, unlike the last generation model.
48-inch LG A2 OLED
You can buy a 48-inch LG A2 OLED TV at Best Buy only $570, a savings of $730. This deal is sold out online, but you might be lucky with availability at your nearest store. It might be a little on the small side if you’re hoping to go big this year, but that’s worth the trade-off to get unbeatable image quality for under $600.
Now, for the usual disclaimer about the A-series OLED: it lacks some high-end features that we really like in the C2; it has a 60Hz refresh rate compared to double the C2, no HDMI 2.1 ports, and the C2 gets brighter thanks to the Evo panel. Those omissions can be forgiven for the price, depending on the person.
If you want a great-looking screen for a somewhat low price, LG’s A2 OLED is one to keep an eye on over the holiday season. It lacks the high refresh rate panel and brightness of the more expensive LG C2, but the A2 is a lower barrier to access fantastic image quality.
Since I’ve already mentioned it a few times, I might as well tell you about the great prices that LG’s best-in-class 55-inch C2 OLED has sold for. It’s down to $1,300 at multiple retailers, and the price drops slightly with size, as you might expect. LG makes this TV in 48-inch and 42-inch varieties (as well as larger, more expensive ones), down to about $900 at the very least. My colleague Chris Welch reviewed the C2, and you can check out his opinion here.
The LG C2 is both lighter and brighter than its last-generation predecessor, the C1. It also features a “dark room” setting to reduce eye strain, as well as the ability to log into different user profiles.
