Black Friday TV deals are done and dusted for another year, but if you tend to wait for the big sale, you'll want to prepare for the 2024 event. The next big bonanza could help you save on even big screens that haven't technically released yet, not to mention last year's models should receive a hearty discount.

Naturally, Black Friday season is the perfect time to pounce on the best gaming TV, as you'll likely pay less than MSRP. Same goes for all Black Friday gaming deals, but big screens in particular can fall dramatically in price. We're talking savings of over $1,000 on some of the priciest panels around, which could make all the difference if your dream display ideas are bound by budget constraints. That's including even flagship favorites like the LG OLED G3 and the mighty Samsung OLED S90C, both of which would normally set you back much more.

Of course, it's not just premium TVs that'll get the chop during Black Friday 2024, and there are plenty of affordable options by Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense, TCL, and more out there. So, let's look over what to expect later this year, including reliable retailers and models to watch out for.

FAQ

Black Friday TV deals will this year fall on November 29th. 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 2024: what do we expect

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 2023, and maybe 2022, 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 advise keeping tabs on Hisense offers this year, as the A6BG was available for below $250 - an incredible price for a 43-inch 4K screen.

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. Now that the LG OLED G4 has been officially announced, we fully expect older models to receive a nifty discount, and that includes the G2 and G3. You might even be able to grab a phenomenal model like the LG OLED C3 for well under £1,000 if you're in the UK, as it previously dropped to just £899 during Prime Day 2023.

It's also worth keeping a close eye on screen-tech offerings from 2022, the Samsung S95B and Sony A95K, which sport awesome QD-OLED tech. The latter dropped by a whopping $1,002 during last year's event, and we suspect similar discounts will pop up this year.

Is it better to wait for Black Friday to buy a TV?

The best time to pick up a new TV is arguably during Black Friday, but that's not to say you won't see great deals before and after the big event. In fact, you'll often find that big screens drop to their lowest price at random times, so it's always worth keeping an eye out for your desired panel. If you'd prefer deals to simply land on your lap, we'd suggest holding out for the annual sale. Otherwise, there's nothing stopping you picking up a discounted display right now.

Who has best Black Friday TV deals?

All the usual suspects should have Black Friday TV deals on offer come November, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Sticking with well known retailers is a sure fire way to prevent any scams, but there's a chance smaller retailers will rise to the discount challenge. Your best bet is to revisit our hub when the time arises, as we'll help bring you all the biggest screen savings from across the internet.

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.

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.
