Black Friday is officially this coming Friday, but most retailers started their Black Friday sales around a week ago – and some even earlier than that.
That means that most of the best TVs have already dropped to their lowest-ever prices, and it would be a brave soul who waited an extra few days for an even bigger discount, particularly as I'm already seeing stock running out on some of the most popular models.
Of course, you don't want to go trawling through the sales pages of every major retailer (Black Friday isn't just an Amazon thing these days) to find the best TV at the lowest possible price – so leave that to me and What Hi-Fi?'s other crack deal-hunters.
We review TVs for a living (I've personally been doing this for 17 years), so we know which TVs you should shortlist and which you should ignore, and we are constantly monitoring prices (you should see the spreadsheets!), so we also know what is a great deal and what is merely typical pricing.
Below, you will find all of the best TV deals currently available. Each one has been hand-picked by me or someone else from the TV reviews team. We've noted on each one whether we've seen that TV available for less in the past. It doesn't necessarily make the current deal bad if we have, but it does give you a sense of just how good it is – and whether it might be worth waiting for the TV to possibly drop lower again.
With all of that out of the way, here are the best deals available on the best TVs.

When is the best time to buy a TV?
TV prices fluctuate massively over the course of a year, and knowing the best time to buy can be the difference between bagging a bargain and paying well over the odds. Generally speaking, there are three times of year that are best to buy a new TV: spring, big sales events and big sporting events.
Of these, spring is often the very best. This is because it's the time of year that all of the previous year's TVs tend to be sold with huge reductions so that space can be made for the new models that were announced in the January. Generally speaking, TV improvements are fairly incremental from one year to the next and you can usually save yourself hundreds, if not thousands, by opting for last year's model. A word of warning, though: these are end-of-line models we are talking about so when they're gone, they're gone. Wait too long for the very lowest price and you could end up missing out entirely.
If you don't want to wait until spring, there are three big sales events to mark in your calendar: Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Amazon Prime Day 2024 took place on 16-17th July, while Black Friday and Cyber Monday always take place, respectively, on the first Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving in the US. That means that this year Black Friday should take place on Friday 29th November, and Cyber Monday on Monday 2nd December – but before these comes Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (aka Prime Day in October). This year, it took place on on 8-9th October. While these sales events don't necessarily guarantee the very lowest prices you will see all year, you can be pretty sure of getting a deal that's at least good, and quite possibly great.
While slightly less obvious, big sporting events often really do generate big deals on new TVs. Think Wimbledon, the Olympics and of course football tournaments such as the World Cup, Euros and the FA Cup Final.
