As a veteran TV expert with over a decade of experience under my belt, I understand that some of the best Black Friday TV deals start to roll out ahead of the holiday shopping season. This is why I keep tabs on major retailers starting on November 1. This year, Best Buy has been majorly in this space, dropping deep discounts on Mini-LEDs and OLEDs in the weeks ahead of Black Friday.
With this in mind, I've sorted through dozens of 75- and 77-inch TV listings at Best Buy, narrowing it down to a handful of deals that are absolutely worth your money if you just can't wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's something here for all budgets and every type of viewer, and while some of them might fall further in price over the next few weeks, they're also worth buying today.

Top 75- to 77-inch TV deals at Best Buy
TCL QM6K
If saving money on an 75-inch TV is your top priority this year, consider the TCL QM6K. It’s an entry-level Mini-LED TV, but this 75-inch model nets you better backlight control, higher brightness and a better set of features than ultra-affordable TVs. Right now, Best Buy is listing this set at just $699.
You'll appreciate the QM6K's advantages over cheaper big-screen TVs. At the 75-inch size point, the improved backlight control is nice to have, as it's better-equipped to hide issues like light bloom that are easier to spot on a large screen.
For what it's worth, the QM6K is a better gaming TV than bottom-of-the-barrel LED TVs, too. You're only getting two HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs, but that's two more than you'll find on most of the cheapest 75-inch TVs on the market.
Roku Pro Series
I'm excited to see Best Buy slashing the price of the 75-inch Roku Pro Series ahead of Black Friday, as it has been one of my most recommended TVs of the year for viewers who want an easy-to-use smart TV above all else.
The Roku Pro Series blends quantum dot-color with Mini-LED backlighting, the latter of which gives it an edge over basic LED TVs when it comes to brightness and overall contrast. Mini-LED backlighting at the 75-inch size point is sure to be appreciated, as the added backlight control is even more important on a big screen.
And, if you've ever used a Roku streaming device before, you probably understand the platform's appeal. The bold, clean interface is easy to navigate and the Roku library of downloadable apps is robust.
Hisense U75QG
The Hisense U75QG is a punchy, colorful Mini-LED TV that falls squarely in the happy middle ground between performance and value. Best Buy is listing the 75-inch version of this TV at around $1,097 ahead of Black Friday, but there's a chance its price could tumble further in the coming weeks.
This Hisense TV offers better brightness and better overall picture quality than the 75-inch versions of the QM6K and the Roku Pro Series, but it’s not saddled with the sort of eye-popping price tag you’ll come to find from, say, a 77-inch OLED TV.
The U75QG is an especially good choice for dedicated gamers looking to spend sensibly on a 75-inch screen thanks to a handy selection of highly sought-after gaming features. As the second brightest TV on this list (behind the TCL QM8K), it's naturally a good fit for sports fans and/or viewers who do most of their TV-watching in a sunny room.
TCL QM8K
One of the brightest 75-inch TVs you can buy is seeing a ridiculously deep discount at Best Buy ahead of Black Friday. The TCL QM8K is a perfect fit for folks who watch a ton of daytime sports and TV shows, as it's bright enough to stand out in brightly lit rooms.
You can read all about it in our full TCL QM8K review, but I expect this TV to be a pretty popular pick this holiday shopping season, especially in sizes above 65 inches. It’s packed with useful features for gaming and streaming, including a pair of HDMI 2.1 inputs, Google TV and Dolby Vision support.
The 75-inch version of the QM8K doesn’t go on sale very often, and this is right around the lowest I’ve seen its price since I started keeping tabs on it. Check it out if you need a big-screen set that brings the brightness.
LG C5
The LG C5 is one of the best TVs of the year, and easily one of the most value-packed OLED TVs that will see discounts this holiday shopping season. I do expect this 77-inch OLED's price to fall further once Black Friday kicks into gear, but its current sale price at Best Buy is already worth shopping. If you can't wait, grab it now.
The C5 is one of the most versatile TVs you can buy. Everything from games to HDR Blu-rays look phenomenal on this TV, and it's stuffed with just as many features as you'll find on much pricier, flagship models.
You'll find better performance on flagship-level OLEDs, but the C5 is nevertheless offers an incredible-looking picture.
Samsung S90F
If you're in the market for a 77-inch OLED TV and you'd rather own a Samsung-branded model rather than an LG OLED, consider the mid-range S90F. This OLED is a direct competitor of the aforementioned C5, and like LG's OLED, the S90F is just $1,999 at Best Buy ahead of Black Friday.
According to our tests, the 77-inch S90F offers better color volume than the 77-inch LG C5, and that's all thanks to the inclusion of quantum dots. The S90F also comes with a thorough selection of gaming-related features, including support for 4K gaming at 120Hz.
One feature that the S90F doesn't come with, though, is Dolby Vision support. If that matters to you, I recommend taking another look at Best Buy's LG C5 listing.
