Ready to make an upgrade to your home theater, but don't want to overspend? Sure, Black Friday is a great time to pick up a 4K TV — especially if you're looking for one under $500 — but you can find plenty of awesome deals available right now.

For the last few weeks, Tom's Guide has been tracking all the best early Black Friday deals from retailers like Best Buy, Amazon and more, cherry-picking the best deals for our readers. We've already found the best early OLED TV deals as well as the best early Samsung Black Friday TV deals and LG Black Friday TV deals.

While both Samsung and LG TVs are great performers, they can be somewhat pricey options compared to the more budget-friendly options from the likes of Vizio, TCL and Hisense. These TVs might be a bit cheaper, but that doesn't mean they won't wow you with their 4K performance. 

Here are five of the best early Black Friday TV deals under $500.
