While the most flashy Black Friday TV deals are on expensive sets with specs like micro-LED, QLED, 120Hz and 8K resolutions, you don't need to spend a lot to get a lot. I've picked my five favorite discounted sets, which all cost under $300.

Because I don't want you to feel like you've wasted your money, the sets I've picked are all from known and reliable brands. They come with a variety of specs and software, but they're all under $300 with their discounted price. Most are 55-inches, because that size when discounted comes just under the price threshold, but if you want a smaller panel, those are discounted too. Oh, and they're all 4K, because you deserve nothing less.

Save $170 - I picked this TV because of how that 38% price cut brings this otherwise-pricey panel to well within my stated budget. Plus it's a QLED screen which is unusual for the price.

Save $130 - Another three-digit saving on a 4K TV that'd otherwise be out of budget. This is a Samsung TV using its Crystal UHD tech and smaller sizes are also available if you want to spend less (as well as bigger sizes, above $300).

Save $50 - For a slightly smaller TV, you can get a smaller price reduction, but $50 off is still a decent amount. Roku has the added bonus of its free streaming app and a popular software.

Save $200 - This is both the biggest TV I've got on my list, and the biggest discount. It's perhaps not as competitive in the pixel department as the others on this list, but if you want a big screen, this is the deal for you.

Save $40 - I picked this Hisense option as a more affordable alternative, smaller in size and price. But it has a range of features like a QLED panel and support for Fire TV.

Why did I cap the price at $300? Well generally, I'd say $400-$450 is what you have to pay, to make sure you're getting a set without any annoying limitations or compromises. However over Black Friday, that threshold lowers to roughly $300. I'd buy any of these sets and would be perfectly happy with them.
