Black Friday has been and gone, but that's not the end of the deals bonanza. Oh no. It's now Cyber Monday: the next big sale following Black Friday weekend, and one that often sees even bigger discounts.
Some of the deals might be dead in the water, but some live on, and fresh ones are popping up all the time. If sales haven't lived up to expectations over the weekend, retailers could slash prices further, meaning even better savings to be had on all kinds of kit, including some of the best TVs, headphones, hi-fi speakers, AV receivers and more. Sometimes, it pays to play the waiting game...
We've been keeping a close eye on the best products we've tested, so we know a good deal when we see one. If we flag it, it's worth paying attention to – you won't find us shouting about any big discounts on substandard devices. We have over 100 years of collective experience within the consumer tech industry, specialising in all things audio and visual.

"All the TV that most people will ever need" is how our expert reviewers described LG's B3 OLED when we reviewed it earlier this year. With typically awesome OLED contrast, authentic, balanced picture quality and excellent OS and gaming features, it's a bona fide bargain and a brilliant option if you don't want to stretch to this year's B4 model. Five stars
There's a reason that the Cambridge Audio MXN10 has snagged back-to-back What Hi-Fi? Awards. For its size and price, it's pretty much the best music streamer money can buy, and with $100 off, that sentiment only becomes more accurate as the MXN10 drops to its lowest-ever price.

This is an outrageous deal! Bose's SoundLink Max is a hugely enjoyable listen, a big burly champ that fires out an engaging, dynamic and assertive listen that will fill rooms of almost any size with beefy sonic goodness. A whole quarter off the original price on a speaker that only came out a few months ago is not something to be ignored.

Best Cyber Monday deals: TVs
TCL 32S335 was $230 now $146 at Amazon (save $84)
No one is claiming that this little TCL TV is even in the same league as the big boys that fill out the rest of this list, but if you're looking for a very cheap TV, we've not tested anything better. For a very low price, you get a 32-inch 720p TV with the Roku operating system and surprisingly decent picture quality. A bargain.
Read our TCL 32S335 review
42-inch LG C2 OLED was $1200 now $846 at Amazon (save $354)
The 42-inch version of LG's C2 OLED is so brilliant, we gave it an Award, and that was when it was new and therefore pretty expensive. Now that it's been out for a couple of years, there are massive discounts to be had, as you can see. Five stars
Read our LG OLED42C2 review
42-inch LG C3 OLED was $1400 now $896 at Amazon (save $404)
The C2 above was succeeded by the C3. It's another great TV, but the improvements are slight so we recommend you buy the C2 while it's still available and cheaper (or better yet, spend a little more on the C4). Five stars
Read our LG OLED42C3 review
Sony XR-42A90K was $1400 now $1298 at Amazon (save $102)

Sony Bravia 8 55in was $1999 now $1399 at Best Buy (save $600)

LG B3 55-inch OLED TV (2023) was $1699 now $798 at Walmart (save $801)

What Hi-Fi? Awards winner
Read our LG C4 review
LG OLED55C4 was $1800, now $1196 at Walmart (save $604)
Though the LG C4 is now out, the C3 is currently a lot cheaper thanks to a sea of discounts across all its sizes. This is especially true for the 55-inch model. If you want a great all round performer then this is a fantastic option at a great price.
Read our LG C4 review
LG OLED77C3 was $2299 now $1899 at Best Buy (save $400)
The discount's not quite as impressive as the above saving on the Sony A80L, but this C3 deal's not to be sniffed at, particularly if you're a gamer. Featuring four, rather than the Sony's two HDMI 2.1 ports, if you have a Dolby Atmos audio system and multiple current generation games consoles, this is the deal for you.

For a very reasonable price, the Sony WH-CH720N are a dependably made, enthusiastic-sounding pair of headphones that, while occasionally straying into the realm of excessive bass, deliver good ANC and a strong feature set to the mid-to-low price bracket of the wireless headphone market. Most definitely a job well done.
Sony WH-1000XM4 was $350 now $198 at Amazon (save $152)

Sony HT-A3000 was $699 now $429 at Best Buy (save $270)
The petite Dolby Atmos-capable HT-A3000 scored a commendable four stars when it passed through our test room.

Cyber Monday FAQ
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday 2024 will be Monday 2nd December.
Black Friday always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which means this year it will fall on Friday 29th November. Cyber Monday is always the Monday after.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday began in the US but in recent years has very much become a worldwide shopping phenomena. It's regarded (and backed up by stats) as the busiest shopping day of the year – both online and in-store – and officially kicks off the holiday season.
Why is it called Black Friday? The date was traditionally the start of the Christmas shopping season, when retailers hoped to move out of the "red" (loss) and in to the "black" (profit). Hence Black Friday.
What about Cyber Monday?
The term 'Cyber Monday', meanwhile, was coined by Scott Silverman and the National Retail Federation's Ellen Davis in a bid to encourage people to take their shopping online during the Black Friday event. That was back in 2005, when people needed such encouragement! It's always the Monday after Black Friday.
Where to get the best Cyber Monday deals?
The dominant names in retail, such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target will no doubt want to go big during Cyber Monday 2024, while the Sony WF-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5 are likely to be some of the biggest sellers when it comes to headphones.
We won't forget the hi-fi and home cinema kit, so will be on the lookout for deals on B&W and KEF speakers, not to mention 4K and portable projectors, AVRs, turntables, CD players, hi-res music players and more. World Wide Stereo usually has lots of specialist deals.
We're confident the specialist audio and home theater retailers will deliver some hi-fi and home theater bargains – this year's What Hi-Fi? Award-winners are a good place to start when it comes to finding a price reduction.
How long will Cyber Monday last?
Well, Cyber Monday is 24 hours. But like other big sales events, you always have preliminary and aftermath offers.
For one, deals will run during the weekend sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And some deals might last until Christmas, with the festive shopping mania in full swing.
Are the Cyber Monday deals any good?
After the initial few years of excitement around Cyber Monday, we naturally moved to the apathy stage, as people began to question whether the offers were genuinely good deals. It remains up for debate.
For example, it's not unusual to see discounted products rise in price in the weeks ahead of a Cyber Monday "price cut"; naturally this means you're essentially just getting the original discounted price from earlier in the year. That said, there are always genuine deals to be had – it's just finding them amongst the onslaught of offers.
Luckily that's where we come in; we'll handpick the best TV, audio and AV deals across retailers to find the ones that are really worth your hard-earned cash.
We'd suggest having a rough idea of what you want in mind – whether that be and LG OLED TV, Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless headphones, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, Alexa and Echo smart home devices, Apple AirPods, Samsung smartphones or Apple iPads. That said, be prepared to compromise; a similar product of a similar quality might offer better value for money thanks to a Cyber Monday price cut.
To avoid any doubt, we'll always try to highlight when a product falls to its "lowest ever" price. That way, you can be sure that you don't end up the victim of the retail industry's Cyber Monday shenanigans.
