The best Black Friday TV deals we can find so far: Samsung, LG, TCL and more

Alright, let's talk about the real holiday season MVP: the Black Friday TV deal. Forget the turkey, the real feast is happening on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, where screen sizes are ballooning and prices are plummeting faster than my K/D ratio in a bad match.We're deep in that sweet spot of the year where if you've been eyeing a living room upgrade, the green light is blinking hard. Think of it like the final circle in a battle royale—the timing is everything, and right now, the timing is perfect.We've scoured the web, dodged the fake discounts, and compiled the actual bangers worth your hard-earned cash. Starting with the budget-friendly arena, the Hisense U65QF is holding it down at a wild $428 for the 55-inch model.That's a solid $372 shaved off, making it a contender for anyone just wanting to step up from that decade-old 1080p relic. It runs on Amazon's Fire TV platform, which, let's be real, is a bit clunkier than the cleaner Google TV interface on some competitors, but it gets the job done.The real trade-off here is peak brightness—this thing can fight glare better than some pricier sets, which is a game-changer if your living room gets blasted with sunlight. If you're willing to stretch the budget just a bit, the TCL QM6K is generally the move for better contrast and gaming features, but for sheer brightness on a budget, the Hisense is a legit pick.Moving into the mid-range, where things get spicy. The LG B5 OLED at $897 for the 55-inch is like finding a legendary weapon early in the game.This is LG's entry-level OLED for 2025, and it delivers that iconic OLED experience: infinite contrast, buttery motion, and viewing angles that don't punish you for not sitting dead center. The catch? It doesn't get as eye-searingly bright as its bigger brother, the C5, so HDR pop is a bit more reserved.For most movie nights and casual gaming, it's phenomenal. It's capped at 120Hz, not 144Hz, but unless you're hooking up a beastly gaming PC, you won't notice.This isn't a massive discount, but it matches the lowest we've seen, and for an OLED, that's always a W. Then there's the TCL QM7K.The 65-inch version for $800 is an absolute steal. This is a significant step up from the QM6K, with way better contrast, color volume, and a 144Hz refresh rate that makes everything silky smooth.It's still an LED TV, so it can't match the perfect blacks of an OLED, but for bright rooms and HDR content, it's a beast. Now, for the endgame players, the premium tier.The Samsung S95F QD-OLED is the stuff of legends, and at $2,298 for the 65-inch, it's still pricey, but that's a $700 haircut. Reviewers across the board are simping over this thing because it manages to be one of the brightest OLEDs ever while keeping those perfect QD-OLED colors.It's got a matte finish that murders glare and a 165Hz refresh rate for gaming that is just *chef's kiss*. The one classic Samsung L? Still no Dolby Vision support.But if you want the pinnacle of TV tech right now and your room is a sun-drenched arena, this is your grail. Not to be outdone, TCL's QM8K in the 75-inch size for $1,400 is for the big-screen enthusiasts who want LED-level brightness without going full OLED.It gets stupidly bright, has a 144Hz mode, and is a fantastic alternative if you're terrified of OLED burn-in (even if that's mostly a boogeyman these days). And because no TV setup is complete without the brains, the streaming device deals are popping off too.The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus for $25 is a no-brainer for anyone with an older TV, and the 4K Max for $35 is worth the extra ten bucks if you have a Wi-Fi 6E router. Just be ready for the ad-heavy Fire OS interface—it's the price of admission for that cheap hardware.We'll be updating this list as more deals drop through Black Friday itself, so keep this page bookmarked. The hunt for the perfect TV is on, and the deals are only getting hotter.
