I've been reviewing TVs and home cinema sound systems for over 17 years now and I've been covering Black Friday for almost as long. All of which is to say that I know good picture and sound quality and I also know a genuinely good deal when I see it.

I'm putting all of that knowledge and experience to use here by cutting through all of the noise of Black Friday to bring you a handful of the genuinely best deals across all of the TV and AV categories we cover.

This isn't about cheap kit – it's about really good kit that has been properly discounted. If that sounds like what you're looking for, keep reading.
