Black Friday QD-OLED deals are a wrap for now. While you don't have to wait for the next seasonal sale to grab TVs and monitors, the deepest discounts tend to happen during the event. So, if you're determined to pay as little as possible for a Quantum Dot display, you'll might want to look into what to expect beforehand.

If you're wondering why QD-OLED models are fast appearing on the best gaming TV and gaming monitor scene, allow us to explain. The technology essentially blends two different screen types into one, namely OLED and Quantum Dot. The result is a screen that boasts fantastic colors, contrast, and black levels, which ultimately produces a more immersive experience. That's key if you're on the hunt for a new PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC display, and premium panels wielding the tech are sure to accompany other Black Friday gaming deals this November.

It's worth noting that there aren't tons of QD-OLED models out there, so you'll typically see a smaller selection featured during Black Friday. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it makes keeping an eye on offers easier, but it does mean stock can run out faster. To prevent that happening, we're on hand highlighting the best offers and deepest discounts on all things Quantum Dot OLED flavored. Popular panels like the Samsung S90C and Sony A95K are already dropping ahead of the big sale, so dive in if you're in the market for a panel upgrade.

Black Friday QD-OLED deals - what to expect

Samsung S95B

We now have a set of previous Black Friday QD-OLED deals to look back on for some insight. And the signs are encouraging! 

As you can see from some of last year's deals below, all the major QD-OLED screens saw big discounts last November. The 55-inch Samsung S95B saw a massive price cut that took it from its MSRP of $2,199.99 down to a staggering $1,599.This was an incredible deal and will be bettered this year now that Samsung has announced some 2023 models (which will get their own deals) to take its place.

The Sony A95K also saw some enormous price cuts last year. The 55-inch screen dipped to just $1,699.99 - a chonky $500 discount off its $2,999.99 MSRP, while the 65-inch model saw an enormous $1,000 come off the price tag. Again, these will be bettered in 2023, and there should be deals on the next wave from Sony (yet to be announced as of January 2023, but surely imminent)

Alienware AW3423DW savings also brought our favorite Dell screen down from $999.99 to $799.99, which is a better saving that the previous year's $100 off. We're hoping there will be even more off this specific model in 2024, especially if a successor arrives on the scene.

Are TVs really cheaper on Black Friday?

Many retailers save their biggest TV discounts for Black Friday, but that's not to say great deals won't pop up before and after. However, you will normally find screens at their lowest price during the big event, and you'll be able to pay less for premium models and budget offerings alike.

Is QD-OLED really better than OLED?

Your own milage may vary, but our tests conclude that QD-OLED displays boasts more accurate colors, better contrast, and improved viewing angles compared to ordinary OLED. However, the tech is considered premium at the moment, so if you're not convinced, you could save money opting for the latter instead.

How much will QD-OLED cost?

Sony and Samsung QD-OLED models will set you back over $2,000, and options like the A95K retail for $3,999. If last year's sales are anything to go by, you should be able to grab a chunk off premium panels during Black Friday 2023, which may make all the difference if you've got a specific amount to spend.

I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
