It’s late November, meaning it’s time for me to bring you my pick of the best Black Friday TV deals the internet has to offer.

There have been discounts circulating since the start of the month, but with the big day just over a week away, I’ve started to see the offers really ramp up. Things are only going to get spicier as we approach Friday, 28 November, and I’m on a mission to help ensure you snap up a bargain on your next TV.

Expect offers on televisions of all shapes and sizes from the major manufacturers; 2025 has been a year for super-sized screens and premium panel technologies available at remarkably low prices.

I’ll be focusing on highlighting deals on TVs that I’ve personally tested or had one of our freelancers test, so I can ensure what I’m recommending has the Expert Reviews seal of approval. That won’t always be possible, however, so in the event we haven’t tested a product, I’ll take into account its specifications, price history and how its current price compares to the competition.

If you come across a Black Friday offer that isn’t on this page, there are a few steps you can take to ensure you’re getting a good deal. Follow these handy tips to avoid buyer’s remorse:

  • Check when the TV was released: Big discounts can look very attractive, but if they’re on older, less desirable sets, the deal probably isn’t as good as it seems. Prices of TVs fall considerably when new models are released, so televisions that have been around for a couple of years are generally relatively inexpensive, regardless of the time of year, not just during Black Friday.
  • Check the panel technology being used: TVs are one of the more complicated purchases we make, as there are numerous specifications to consider. Panel type is perhaps the most important, as it will go a long way to determining the price and quality of the set. You can read about the key differences between the two premium panel technologies in our OLED vs Mini LED article, but as a rule of thumb, here’s a breakdown of what to look for:

OLED

  • Pros: Perfect blacks, infinite contrast, brilliant highlights, excellent viewing angles, supert-svelte designs 
  • Cons: Lower full-screen brightness than Mini LED, best performance is in dark rooms, small danger of image retention, relatively pricey

Mini LED

  • Pros: Blazing full-screen brightness means performance doesn’t drop off as suddenly in well-lit rooms, no danger of image retention, cheaper than OLED
  • Cons: Less bright highlights, inferior viewing angles and black levels to OLED

QLED

  • Pros: Brighter, purer colours than basic LCD sets, wider colour gamut, available at a wide range of affordable prices
  • Cons: Lack the brightness and vibrance of OLED and Mini LED, thicker design than OLED, can suffer from blooming, viewing angles are typically limited

LCD LED

  • Pros: Cheap and very accessible
  • Cons: Picture quality isn’t going to set the world alight
    • Choose the operating system that works for you: Think of a TV OS as your main hub for accessing its various features and all the content you plan to consume. Some brands use proprietary operating systems, for example, Samsung (Tizen) and LG (webOS). Others, such as Panasonic and Philips, use third-party platforms like Fire TV and Google TV. The operating system you choose will largely come down to personal preference in terms of the streaming services supported, so check the telly you like the look of supports all your favourites!
    • Pick the right size: It’s impossible to ignore the fact that TVs are getting bigger and bigger, and that manufacturers are increasingly pushing their largest models. Consider what you can comfortably fit into your living space, what you can reasonably afford, and how far you’ll be sitting away from the screen. There’s no sense in buying an enormous TV if you’re so close that you can only see half of the screen.
    • Consider whether you’ll be using the TV for current-gen gaming: If you will, ensure you pick a TV that supports high-frame-rate gaming. This means a panel capable of 120Hz, or if you play on PC, 144Hz and above. You’ll also want to check whether it supports important gaming features, including Auto Low-Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) , and some form of game control hub.

    Is it really a Black Friday TV deal?

    This applies to all Black Friday deals, not just those on TVs; not every “discount” you see is what it’s cracked up to be. Retailers will always show the maximum possible discount, usually on the RRP, and often the price shown isn’t representative of recent prices. It might even be more expensive than it was a couple of weeks ago, for instance.

    This is, most of the time, pretty easy to check. You can check a product’s price history on Amazon using tools like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa, and doing so is a great way to see how good or bad a TV deal really is.

    1. 50in Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED

    • Black Friday price: £300 | View deal at Amazon
    • Average price over the past 180 days: £466 

    Amazon would have you believe that you’re saving an absolute fortune on this quantum dot-powered television, with the Black Friday deal badge suggesting you’re making an enormous saving of 54%. And while you are doing so on the Omni QLED’s RRP, this is a set that’s spent most of the year going for between £400 and £500.

    Still, £300 is a tidy price for a 50in QLED that delivers impressive picture accuracy, and has a wonderful selection of apps and features thanks to Amazon’s Fire TV smart platform.

    2. 55in Panasonic W95B

    This Mini LED TV received a Recommendation from me in August, at which point in time the 55in model cost £899. It impressed me greatly with its colourful, accurate SDR and HDR images, its intuitive, comprehensive Fire TV smart platform, which has Freely built in, and its very nicely balanced audio. While it only has two HDMI 2.1 ports, this won’t be an issue for most people, and as far as Mini LED all-rounders go, it’s up there with the best of them.

    3. 65in Hisense U7Q

    Our review of this particular model is a work in progress, but this price on a 65in Mini LED TV from Hisense – the Chinese manufacturer named Best for Picture Quality in our TV Brand Awards 2025 – is too good not to mention.

    This TV cost over £1,200 a matter of months ago, and was being sold for £999 as recently as the end of October. To see it available for a fraction of that is frankly pretty crazy. This is a Mini LED TV that utilises a quantum dot filter to enhance colour performance, features a 144Hz refresh rate that’s ideal for gaming, and comes with the Freely IPTV platform built in.

    Although I can’t comment on its performance, it would take a disaster to make this price for a 65in Mini LED look unattractive.

    55in Samsung U8000F

    My review of the Samsung U8000F went live recently, with the 55in screen size receiving just three stars at £349. That model has had £20 knocked off its price in the past couple of days (though Amazon is listing its previous price at £389, the sneaky devil).

    I know that £329 for a reasonably large Samsung TV looks very appealing, and the price is significantly lower than its average over the past six months. However, unless you’re desperate for a cheap Samsung set, you’ll get better bang for your buck elsewhere. Samsung’s Tizen OS, good sound and low input lag are strengths of the TV, but picture performance leaves a fair bit to be desired when viewed alongside similarly priced options from the likes of TCL.
