The next bout of Black Friday TV deals, obviously, won't be here for many months now. But we always have them in mind as the winter sales period always represents the best time of year to save money. Knowing what to expect of the sales season can also help you decide whether to go for a new screen early this year, or whether you want to hold out.
We know that the best and biggest price cuts on every year's TV models come in the Black Friday TV deals, however, that can feel like quite a wait if you're keen on upgrading soon. Particularly with CES in January showing off the latest and greatest screens that will be available to buy this year, holding out can be a bit of a tough ask!
While we will have to wait for 2023's Black Friday TV deals to have a chance to save money on this year's models, you can look to find a bargain on 2022 and 2021 models through this year - and the quality in them is so high you can still have no regrets purchasing one. But if it's the biggest savings you're after, then Black Friday is the best bet.
When will Black Friday TV deals begin?
Black Friday TV deals will this year fall on November 24th. Of course, as is usual, we'll see a bunch of deals coming in force that week, but we can still usually say that the best are kept for the day itself.
Such is the event nowadays however, we often see retailers go early with deals period that are weeks long, all in the name of Black Friday. That means you can pick up a great deal from basically October onwards so be on the lookout from then.

Black Friday TV deals 2023: what do we expect
The Black Friday TV deals will be far-reaching, covering all the niches across the size, quality, and price spectrums.
And with another year under our belts, things will look even rosier. The factor of passing time means - along with generational gaps between a lot of TV models (not all, though) being quite small - there really are going to be some quality offerings from 2022, and maybe 2021, lines, as well as the most recent models.
Expect there to be plenty of action on the entry-level 4K TVs from the likes of Insignia and TCL, for example, as well as on Amazon Fire TVs. The 50-inch Omni model received its record lowest-ever price last Black Friday dropping by nearly $200 and has been on sale, again, in last fall's Prime event.
We'd also keep a close eye on LG's C-range and G-range of OLED TVs. Every year we see price cuts on these in the autumn and winter. As a specific example, we saw a new lowest-ever price on the 65-inch C1 ($1,496.99, down from $2,499.99) last month so we'd expect to see similar deals next month too. We'd also keep a close eye on the brand-new screen-tech offerings from 2022, the Samsung S95B and Sony A95K, which sport awesome QD-OLED tech. We saw the prices of these drop by up to 33% and 13% respectively in the Prime Day sales event of October 2021 and as these will likely be replaced in 2023, the prices could become very tasty indeed - especially for such premium panels.

Is it worth waiting for the Black Friday TV deals?
Ah, the inevitable question of when to pull the trigger. But in reality, the sheer scale and allure of the Black Friday TV deals mean that, yes, you should absolutely be waiting for the sales to arrive before committing to a new television. This is absolutely the best time of year to get a cracking TV for a greatly reduced price - the discounts are typically never deeper than Black Friday.
The small caveat to that is once we get into November we will see retailers going early with their Black Friday prices - if you can get this guaranteed (i.e. if it does go lower over the day itself then the retailer will pay you back the difference) then it might be a good idea to go just before the madness begins.
How much can I save with a Black Friday TV deal?
A great question! And the absolutely-not-a-copout answer is: it depends! You can see astronomical saving of up to 50% sometimes though these usually get quite specific, almost niche. Think of 75-inch (and larger) 8K TVs - though that's not to dismiss them as that would be great value. This epitomises the fact that the bigger they are, the harder they fall concept behind Black Friday TV deals: those with higher MSRPs often come down the furthest.
Away from that 'extreme' though, a lot more common discounts are going to be in the 20% (ish) range meaning a $500 TV could go to about $400 but a $2,000 TV could drop to an attractive $2,600 - or even push to the $2,500 at that point.
The best thing to do is to keep abreast of the price cuts as they happen to know exactly how much deals might change by, and to also make sure you're tracking prices too to have a more bird's eye view of somethings price.
