This deal, which takes 33% off the regular price, is one of the biggest discounts currently available on Amazon for a Sony TV. While not OLED, this set has full-array LED backlighting, which will deliver better contrast throughout the picture. It also has some features tailored for the PS5, including a 120Hz refresh rate, 8.5 millisecond response time, Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Switch. It has four HDMI ports (including HDMI 2.1), and comes with the Google TV platform for streaming content.

Samsung 65" Frame TV: was $1,997 now $1,597 @ Amazon (opens in new tab)
Amazon and Samsung are dropping the price of The Samsung Frame TV down to just $1,597 in a great Black Friday deal. This discount brings it down to a new lowest ever price, according to CamelCamelCamel. We like The Frame because it looks like a work of art on its own and can be used as an art display, to display your own photos, or as a TV. The 2022 version that's on sale offers a 65-inch QLED display with a 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR, a 120Hz native refresh rate, a matte screen, voice assistant support and access to all the biggest streaming services.

Lowest price! Available in 55-inch and 65-inch sizes, the Samsung S95B series uses the company's Neural Quantum Processor 4K, which is the same flagship CPU inside Samsung's Neo QLED TVs. The QD-OLED promises to deliver the pixel-perfect illumination of OLED panels with the brightness and life-like color of LCD panels, as well as beat the already impressive QLED tech when it comes to better backlight control. By comparison, Samsung has it on sale for $1,449 (opens in new tab).

Black Friday TV deals — what to look for in 2022

As we said earlier, you can find good TV sales any time of the year. However, Black Friday TV deals tend to break all price records and 2022 is looking like no exception.

55-inch 4K TVs: Hats off to Best Buy for offering some of the best Black Friday TV deals of the season last year. It's likely the retailer will hold on to that title once again in 2022, but Walmart and Amazon won't be far behind.

Best Buy offered many epic sales last year. And it already has some very attractive deals right now, especially on OLED TVs, which we can expect to get better as actual Black Friday comes around.

OLED TVs: If you're looking for a premium TV, there are already some impressive deals on OLED TVs right now. For example, the LG C2 OLED has been sliced in price, form the 48-inch model to the larger 65-onch set. And we've seen $900 cut from one of the best OLED TVs around.

Expect the deals to ramp up when Black Friday comes around properly. But if you see a great deal now, we suggest you jump on it before it sells out.

Amazon Fire TVs: When it comes to Black Friday TV deals, Amazon Fire TVs tend to lead the charge. We already see some big discounts on Amazon's own TVs but there are also some great discounts on TVs from other brands. It's definitely one retailer to watch.

What's the best Black Friday TV deal live now?

You should definitely check out the deals for the TCL 5-Series for Black Friday. Available in 50, 55, 65 and 75-inch variations, the entire lineup of the 5-Series has been discounted, with the top 75-inch model selling for $799 at Best Buy.

What's the best value-for-money TV?

Insignia and Onn. both offer an incredible value for the money, as they're usually the largest-size TVs for the cheapest price. They almost always have a built-in smart platform like Fire TV or Roku, which allow them to access almost every major streaming service.

Who has the best TV deals on Black Friday?

Who has the best Black Friday TV deals depends on the type of set you're interested in. In general, Best Buy has the best Black Friday TV deals, especially on our favorite brands like LG, Samsung, and Sony. Meanwhile, we've seen excellent sales on more affordable brands like Hisense and Onn from Walmart. Amazon typically tries to price-match both Best Buy and Walmart, so be sure to run comparisons if you tend to favor one retailer over another.

Remember, Black Friday TV deals are designed to generate excitement around sales, so don't let the hype from every retailer confuse you. The basics of buying a great TV on sale are the same as regular priced models: Know what features you should expect, what extras you may want, and read up on reviews to get a feel for what's good or bad about specific models.

Black Friday cheap TVs: Bargain hunters, beware

Watch the fine print on those deals. You may see some TVs selling for $100 or less, but they all have some pretty severe limitations. Small sizes are common, and 32 inches is pretty small compared to the 65-inch models we usually review. (Check out our guide to choosing the right TV size to find the best size for your home.)

Most are lacking smart features or rely on off-brand software with limited app selection. But the biggest "gotcha" you'll see on Black Friday is low resolution — some don't even offer full HD, opting for 720p resolution. While you may see TVs listed for amazingly low prices — some for less than $100 — don't expect any of the smart functions or 4K panels we see in the best TVs.

The other thing to watch for are refurbished and open box units. These can be a source of enormous savings, but they come with wear and tear before you ever set it up, and warranty coverage may not be as robust as a new model will offer. Refurbs are a good way to save a buck during the rest of the year, but as we get into the holidays, the best deals are on new units.

Just remember the old saying about things that look too good to be true. Not all Black Friday cheap TVs are great deals, even when the prices are enticing.
