The best Black Friday TV deals – LIVE
15:06 | 1 Dec
Time is running out on the introductory prices for Amazon’s new Mini LED TV
This isn’t a Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal per se but it would be remiss of me not to let you know about big savings on Amazon’s latest 4K TV. The Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED is the step-up model from the excellent Omni QLED and I discuss the big differences between the two in a story covering the launch here.
Until 11.59pm on 2 December (tomorrow), you can pick up each of the three screen sizes at a considerable discount. The pricing is as follows:
- 55in Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED (RRP £850; now £650)
- 65in Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED (RRP £1,150; now £950)
- 75in Amazon Fire TV Omni Mini LED (RRP £1,600; now £1,300)
John Archer is in the process of testing the 55in model for us, but I can’t comment on the TV’s performance until I’ve had his review. Sadly, I won’t have received it ahead of the introductory offer ending, but the prices above look highly competitive for a Mini LED TV that supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 144Hz gaming, runs the Fire TV operating system and has an in-built 2.1-channel audio system.

Xbox’s Series S console is a bargain price right now
Console gaming and fancy TVs go hand-in-hand. If you’re a Microsoft fan and are yet to upgrade from the Xbox One, you may be interested in the current price of the Xbox Series S. Unlike the Xbox Series X, which supports glorious 4K pictures, it’s limited to a 1440p resolution, so can’t take full advantage of what many of the TVs on this page offer. But at just £200 (down from £249), it’s a fine option for casual gamers and those wanting a digital-only gaming experience for relatively cheap.

December is here and Black Friday deals are still alive and kicking
I can’t quite believe we’re already in December—the Boxing Day sales will be upon us before we know it. But there’s still time to bag a Black Friday bargain, with many deals featured on this page running until Cyber Monday (2 December).
One offer I’ve not covered yet is this discount on the 43in Sony Bravia X80L. The X80L is an affordable entry point into the company’s TV lineup and uses a direct-lit LED panel with frame dimming alongside impressive Sony picture processing technologies including Triluminous Pro for enhancing colours and 4K X-Reality Pro for boosting clarity.
The 43in model typically retails for £599 but is available for £499. If you want a Sony TV but can’t stretch to one of its newer or fancier models, this one’s worth checking out.
12:40 | 30 Nov
The best Black Friday weekend TV deals still live
Happy Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend everyone! It’s been a long month of covering deals, but we’re finally on the home stretch, and there are still some fantastic TV offers and discounts doing the rounds. I’ve spent my morning double-checking which TV deals are still in stock, and have highlighted a few of my unmissable favourites below:
- Hisense U8N (Was £1,499, now £1,299)– my favourite TV deal of Black Friday, with superb HDR and loads of gaming features.
- Philips OLED759 (Was £1,099, now £849) – how about an OLED telly for less than a grand? This is the one to get.
- Panasonic W60 (Was £349, now £299) – if you’re looking for the cheapest set right now, this is it.
17:37 | 29 Nov
That’s all folks (for today, at least)
With that, I’m off to get a steak. My colleague Ben Johnston will be furnishing this page with any offers he comes across tomorrow and I’ll be back on Sunday to point you in the right direction ahead of Cyber Monday!
17:24 | 29 Nov
The Samsung S95D is still the TV to buy this Black Friday… but numbers are dwindling
I’m going to close out today’s coverage of Black Friday TV deals with a reminder that you can get the 55in model of the sensational Samsung S95D for an all-time Amazon low price of £1,489. You can read all about that specific offer here. There are only 10 left at that price though, so you’ll want to act fast.
However, if you’re willing to do a bit of extra leg work, it’s worth considering buying it directly from Samsung. The brand is offering £100 cashback, 5% off purchases over £399 on the Samsung Shop app and 5% back in Samsung Reward Points for members. I’d probably just buy it from Amazon if I’m honest, but wanted to let you know it’s an option.
15:37 | 29 Nov
Samsung’s mid-tier OLED is cheaper than ever
Nothing too crazy to see here, but I’ve not come across all that many offers on 48in OLEDs so here’s one on the Samsung S90D.
You can currently pick it up for £883, which is a big saving on its list price of £1,199 and over £100 cheaper than the price on Samsung’s website, though you can knock that down by claiming £30 cashback and getting 5% off using the Samsung Shop app.
13:12 | 29 Nov
SIZE-mic savings on enormous tellies
The market for TV screen sizes of 85in and up has been expanding rapidly and there are currently some great prices on options from the brands selling them. I’ve listed a few of my favourites for your delectation below:
- 85in Hisense U7K (average £1,710; now £1,299)
- 100in Hisense E7N (was £2,499; now £1,999)
- 85in Samsung DU7100 (was £1,599; now £1,004)
- 85in TCL C655 (was £1,068; now £949)
- 98in TCL P745 (average £1,689; now £1,359)
12:07 | 29 Nov
Sony’s A80L OLED has dropped in price AGAIN
Just a few days ago, I reported an attractive price on the 55in Sony A80L (£1,149). It’s now had a further £50 knocked off that price, bringing it down to an enticing £1,099.
11:45 | 29 Nov
New best-ever price on the 55in LG G4
Last week I brought you news that the 65in LG G4 had dropped below £2,000 for the first time. That model has since risen in price again (it’s currently £2,048 at Amazon), but you can get the 55in option for £1,499, which beats its lowest-ever price by £20. The G4 is one of our favourite TVs of the year, delivering a winning combo of picture performance and gaming features alongside an intuitive smart platform.
There are just 15 55in LG G4s left at this price on Amazon and they’re likely to sell fast so if you’re considering picking one up, I’d urge you to do so sooner rather than later.
11:11 | 29 Nov
How do we find and analyse deals?
A question I get a lot is how the Expert Reviews team source the deals that make their way onto the site. If you’re interested in learning about our process, check out this article: How Expert Reviews finds the best deal for you.

Black Friday is officially here!
Good morning bargain hunters 📺 After weeks of build-up, we’ve finally made it to Black Friday. Costco is associated with some of the craziest Black Friday scenes in the US so it’s appropriate that I kick off today’s coverage with a deal from that particular retailer. The 65in TCL C645K, which we awarded four stars and a Recommended badge at £579, is listed at £440 including shipping.
That’s cheaper than you’ll find it elsewhere, including at Amazon (£450), Argos (£450) and AO (£446 for members).
15:23 | 28 Nov
A trio of best-ever prices on Sonos soundbars
Issues with its new app have plagued American audio brand Sonos this year but there’s no denying it makes some cracking hardware. Three of its soundbars – all of which were furnished with Expert Reviews Recommended awards – are available for best-ever prices this Black Friday and make great partners for different-sized TVs.
The Sonos Ray is a top choice if you’ve got a smaller (32in to 48in) telly and currently costs just £135, less than half the price it was at launch. The Beam (Gen 2), meanwhile is a better pairing for 50in and 55in tellies and will set you back £335 (down from an average price of £417). Those with TVs 55in and above seeking a more immersive Dolby Atmos experience should check out the Sonos Arc, which can be picked up for £599 – the cheapest it’s ever been.
The Beam (Gen 2) is likely the option most people will gravitate towards, so that’s the one I’ve linked to below. If you’re shopping for a soundbar on a shoestring budget, head over to our best budget soundbar roundup for the best options under £300.
11:19 | 28 Nov
Roku-ing around the Christmas tree
Now that I’ve got in there early with my entry for the worst festive pun, I want to draw your attention to this small but welcome discount on Sharp’s 43in GD2K Roku TV. Very has knocked £30 off its £229 price tag to bring it under £200, making it one of the more affordable 43in options I’ve come across ahead of Black Friday.
It’s important to note that this is an FHD (1080p) model, but Roku TV brings plenty of smarts to the table along with support for a fantastic range of streaming services, including Netflix, Now, Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video. Freeview Play is also present and correct, so you’re covered where both live and on-demand TV is concerned.
If you want a 4K TV for similar money, the Amazon Fire TV 4-Series is available for £230, while the TCL C655K will set you back £258. Neither are great performers on the picture quality front but the latter is incredibly well-specified for the money. Our review of the C655K is due to go live very soon and I’ll post a link on this blog so you can decide for yourself whether it’s worth picking up in the Black Friday sales.
10:33 | 28 Nov
The best Black Friday TV for most people?
It’s not even 11am, and if I hear the term “Black Friday Eve” one more time, I think I will throw up.
Now that I’ve got that off my chest, here’s a lovely price on a TV that received a five-star rating and a Best Buy award earlier in the week. John Archer described the Samsung Q80D as “the best-value model in Samsung’s entire 2024 TV range”.
The 55in model has a list price of £999 and has averaged £740 since mid-July but is currently available for £689. That’s a snip for a quantum dot TV with a 120Hz refresh rate, great gaming features and Samsung’s comprehensive Tizen OS smart platform.
If you’re after a mid-range 55in TV this Black Friday, the Q80D makes a strong claim for being the best of the bunch.

Blue Light Black Friday delight for public sector workers
I’ve got a huge amount of respect for those out there saving lives, educating others and tackling crime while I’m writing about TVs and testing headphones. So to give a little back I want to spread the word about a way in which those in the emergency services, NHS, social care sector and more can save a little extra during Black Friday.
If you work for an eligible service, you can access additional discounts from several retailers and brands on top of the price cuts already available. You do need to be a Blue Light Card member to qualify but signing up is simple and a £5 membership gets you two-year access to thousands of offers.
To give you an idea of the general savings available, here are the highlights:
- Up to 15% extra off the Black Friday pricing of TVs at Samsung
- 20% of LG OLED, QNED and NanoCell TVs
- 10% off TVs costing more than £899 at Currys
- An extra 15% off Sony TVs and soundbars
And a few specific offers on models that caught my eye:
- 50in Sony X75WL (Black Friday price £599; BLC price at Currys £540)
- 65in Samsung QN800D (Black Friday price £2,299; BLC price at Samsung £1,954)
- 65in LG NANO81 (Black Friday price £700; BLC price at LG £570)
To process the discounts, you need to log into the Blue Light Card website (or smartphone app) and generate a personalised discount code to use at checkout.
15:58 | 27 Nov
The battle of the budget OLEDs
I’ve covered offers on both the Philips OLED759 and LG B4 OLEDs previously but have just published an article outlining the relative pros and cons of each model here.
To save you from scrolling down the page to see the deals, here there are:
16:14 | 26 Nov
Sennheiser soundbars: An ideal pairing for your new Black Friday TV?
I’ve just been alerted to Black Friday offers on a couple of Sennheiser’s soundbars: the Ambeo Soundbar Mini and the Ambeo Soundbar Max. We’ve only reviewed the former, which received a four-star rating from audio expert Simon Lucas at its launch price of £699. It’s plummeted in price since then – and has been available for around £360 for the past few weeks – but this new price of £347 is the cheapest it’s ever been.
The 5.1.4-channel Max, meanwhile, costs £1,549 (versus its RRP of £2,199) and is the most fully-featured soundbar in Sennheiser’s lineup. Sadly, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus, a Best Buy winner this time last year, isn’t on offer 😩
13:56 | 26 Nov
This one’s not a load of Tosh
I’ve covered several deals on Freely-enabled TVs on this blog but this is the first from Japanese manufacturer Toshiba. The 50in UV2F53DB is an affordable option at its RRP of £329 but a real eye-catcher following this £80 discount.
In addition to support for Freely, the UV2F53DB comes with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos sound and an in-built 20W Onkyo sound system. It’s a strong pick for lovers of voice controls too, thanks to support for Amazon Alexa, Google Home and VIDAA Voice (the native assistant of the TV’s operating system).
14:29 25 Nov
Small TCL TV, even smaller price
Despite Panasonic furnishing its flagship OLED TVs with Fire TV, the operating system remains most popular at the other end of the market. App support is excellent, the interface is familiar and easy to navigate and there’s already a captive audience of people who use Fire TV Sticks.
The TCL SF540 is a little telly that runs Fire TV and costs less than date night at Winter Wonderland. The 32in model has been discounted from £149 to £128 on Amazon, while the 40in option will set you back just £169 (down from £189). Bear in mind that this is a Full HD TV, so by no means the last word in picture clarity, but as far as options for casual viewing in a compact room go, it’s an attractive one.
13:01 | 25 Nov
Nerd alert 🚨
As a massive nerd, I’m always eager to find enticing deals on gaming TVs. The TCL C745 was one of our best-reviewed of the breed last year, picking up a five-star rating and glowing recommendation at £649 for the 55in model.
Amazon has the C741, which shares the same specs, listed for £498. That’s not a massive saving on its average price (£562) since launch, nor is it the cheapest this TV has been (it cost £491 for a few days in April) but it’s very reasonable for a QLED telly with full-array local dimming and a 144Hz refresh rate.
It’s worth noting that this is a TV that doesn’t support the UK TV catch-up apps, so if BBC iPlayer etc. are must-haves, you’ll want to grab a streaming stick if you don’t already own one.
11:58 | 25 Nov
Sony’s mid-range OLED is cheaper than ever
The Sony A80L is another Expert Reviews award winner on offer for Black Friday, with the 55in model currently available for £1,149, down from an average price of £1,455 since launch. That launch was a while ago now (May 2023) but the A80L remains a great choice for those wanting a TV to pair with their PlayStation 5 or shiny new PlayStation 5 Pro.
It supports Auto HDR Tone Mapping and Auto Genre Picture Mode – both of which are Sony-exclusive features – uses the brand’s clever Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology to deliver impressive sound quality, and its picture performance is top-notch. I’d personally rather have the Samsung below but if that’s outside of your price range, the Sony A80L is an attractive alternative.
While I’m here it’s worth noting the EE has knocked £40 off the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro, which was only released a few weeks ago. You can pick one up for £659, though as I bemoaned elsewhere on the site, that doesn’t include a disc drive (£100 and currently out of stock) or stand (£25).
10:20 | 25 Nov
The best Black Friday TV deal so far
I kickstarted our Black Friday TV deals coverage with an offer on the exceptional Samsung S95D, so it’s apt that I get Black Friday week underway with an improved deal on that very same television.
Amazon now has the 55in listed for an all-time low price of just £1,489, while the 65in model is going for £1,989. If I was going to spend my wages on any TV this month, the S95D would be it. It’s the best all-round OLED out there, with blazing brightness, superb image accuracy and gaming features coming out of its ears. It might get even cheaper as the week goes on but, as it stands, this is my favourite TV deal of Black Friday.
19:00 | 22 Nov
Fire TV Sticks are flying off the shelves!
It seems like everyone wants a Fire TV Stick this Black Friday, perhaps understandably given how cheap they’re going for. Amazon has slashed the price of all of its models but my pick is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. It’s Amazon’s best streamer and costs just £45 (down from £70). To find out why it’s the only Amazon stick you need, head on over to my dedicated article on this unbeatable deal.
18:17 | 22 Nov
AO’s highest-rated TV is available with additional discounts for members
The Sony X75WL is highly thought of by those who’ve bought it from AO and very well-reviewed elsewhere, too. The 65in option saw a price cut at the start of the month, falling from £949 to £849 but AO members can save a further £60, taking it down to an enticing £789. Remember, signing up for an AO membership is free, so doing so is a no-brainer if you like the look of this large-screen TV that’s packed with clever Sony picture processing tech.
16:05 | 22 Nov
Nab £40 off a 40in Hisense FHD telly
With most manufacturers championing the benefits of 4K TVs that use expensive panel technology, it can be easy to forget there’s still an active market for basic Full HD televisions. The new Hisense A4N is proving very popular on Amazon at the moment at its best-ever price of £159. Freeview Play is a big draw for TVs such as this, providing access to plenty of live TV channels, while Hisense’s VIDAA OS supports key streaming platforms such as Disney Plus and Netflix.
You can ignore Amazon’s list price – this TV hasn’t been sold for £329 for months – but it was £199 until recently, so its current price is an attractive one.
14:46 | 22 Nov
There’s just one more 65in Samsung QN900D left at a very tempting price…
Samsung’s QN900D is our pick of the relatively limited number of 8K TVs that have been released in 2024 thanks to the astounding image quality of its Mini LED panel and cutting-edge gaming features. The 65in model has cost over £4,200 for most of the year but recently came crashing down to £3,299. It’s now available for £3,098 but there’s only one left on Amazon at that price, so you’ll have to act fast.
Of course, that’s still a huge amount of money but we’ve not looked at a more futureproof TV this year and the QN900D is a stellar performer to boot.
13:07 | 22 Nov
Panasonic’s W60 drops in price again
Just a quick update on the Panasonic W60 Freely TV deal I alerted you to at 10.58 yesterday morning: the 43in model has fallen further in price from its £349 RRP and will now set you back just £284.
12.11 | 22 Nov
Pick up LG’s gorgeous 65in G4 OLED for under £2,000
The LG G4 OLED was one of the first TVs to pick up our Best Buy award this year and the 65in model cost £3,099 when we bestowed that honour upon it. It’s now down to just £1,999 at Amazon, which represents a saving of over £380 on its average price since launch. It’s on our best TV roundup as the “Best TV for wall mounting”, but this particular iteration comes with a central stand so is designed to sit on a TV cabinet.
Stunning images, potent brightness, peerless gaming support, and a comprehensive smart platform make it a fantastic premium pick, particularly at this new all-time low price.
11:01 | 22 Nov
An Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED price to brighten up Grey Friday
At the start of the month, I urged you to hold fire on buying an Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED as I was sure it was going to come down in price as we got closer to Black Friday. Sure enough, the 55in model has now hit its lowest-ever price of £420, undercutting the £430 it was available for during Prime Day. It’s not listed as a Black Friday deal (unlike the £280 and £380 the 43in and 5oin models are going for) but the offer runs until 2 December so it may as well be.
That’s a fantastic price for a five-star QLED TV, which you can read more about in Stephen Withers’ full Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review. If you’ve got a bit more cash burning a hole in your pocket, you may want to check out the new Amazon Fire TV Mini LED, which should deliver improved picture and audio quality thanks to its more advanced panel and support for Dolby Atmos. We’ll have a full review of it soon, but sadly not before the introductory offer, which sees the 55in model priced at £650, expires.
11:33 | 21 Nov
Enjoy a full Sony home entertainment experience for less this Black Friday
One of our TV experts, John Archer, currently has Sony’s new Bravia 9 Mini LED TV in for testing, so you can expect to see a full review of it on the site soon. In the meantime, I wanted to draw attention to the various offers available if you buy the 75in model from John Lewis.
This is a massive, expensive and incredibly bright 4K TV (although it’s cheaper than ever at £3,199), so if you are going to splash out on it, you’re going to want an audio system to do its big-screen pictures justice. The Sony Bravia Theatre Quad and Bravia Theatre Bar 9 (both of which Mr Archer is also in the process of reviewing for us) are both appealing options and there are big savings available if you buy either alongside the Bravia 9.
You can save £500 on the Theatre Quad (currently £1,999) by entering the code HTA9M2 at checkout, while the Theatre Bar 9 (currently £999) will cost you just £699 if you use the code HTA9000.
I’m not sure I’d ever leave the house with that kind of home entertainment setup but if you’re looking to steer your friends and family away from the cinema over the festive period, these offers are well worth a look.
10:58 | 21 Nov
Save £50 on a cheap, compact Freely TV from Panasonic
Freely – the latest service from the company that brought us Freeview – is a wonderful way of enjoying on-demand and live UK TV without the need for an aerial or set-top box. All you need is an internet connection, a TV license and a compatible television.
The Panasonic W60 is one such telly and an affordable one at that. The 43in model, which has a central stand rather than feet on either side, typically costs £349 but has had £50 knocked off its price at AO ahead of Black Friday.
It won’t blow you away with stunning picture quality or premium features, but as a compact 4K TV for a bedroom or kitchen, it’s got everything you need.
09:54 | 21 Nov
The Black Friday discounts NO ONE saw coming
OK, I’m trolling. We all saw discounts on Amazon’s range of Fire TV Sticks coming from a mile away. Hefty price drops on the brand’s media streamers during deals events should probably be added to life’s certainties alongside death and taxes. Still, at least this particular inevitability is a welcome one.
There are four sticks available, all offering the same Fire TV OS experience but with different strengths and weaknesses. I’ve linked to our reviews of each below (except for the new Fire TV Stick HD, which we’re yet to test) and listed their current prices compared with their RRPs.
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (RRP £70; now £45)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (RRP £60; now £35)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick HD (RRP £40; now £28)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite (RRP £35; now £22)
“What’s the point of having a Fire TV Stick when I’ve just bought a fancy new smart TV?” I hear you cry. Well, not every app is available on every smart platform, and Fire TV can help plug the gaps. TCL and Philips’ new Google TVs, for instance, lack the BBC and Channel 4 catch-up apps, which are must-haves for many people. You can also access Amazon Alexa voice commands when using the platform, which is a big draw for some.
12:29 | 19 Nov
Bag a top-notch lifestyle TV at a great price and grab a soundbar discount
Samsung’s The Frame is a TV that doubles up as a piece of artwork and is one of the most popular lifestyle televisions on the market. Its glare-free quantum dot-powered display is available in a wide range of sizes but I’m highlighting the 55in model here as it’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen it at £899 at John Lewis.
That’s £100 less than it costs at Samsung and £250 cheaper than it was a couple of weeks ago. You can also save up to £200 on various Samsung soundbars when buying the TV from John Lewis. Models in the offer include the ultra-immersive Samsung HW-Q990D and slender HW-S800D, both of which are Expert Reviews award winners. If you’re looking for a super-stylish TV and an immersive audio system to go alongside it, this is a Black Friday deal not to miss.
10:40 | 19 Nov
Get one of our favourite soundbars HALF PRICE with LG’s entry-level OLED
The B4 is LG’s cheapest OLED but still a very well-specified TV, with a 120Hz panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports and the latest iteration of the manufacturer’s excellent webOS smart platform. The 65in model represents great value at £1,199 but this deal isn’t about the price on the TV itself.
John Lewis is offering 50% off the LG S95TR soundbar if bought with the 65in B4. The 9.1.5-channel soundbar, subwoofer and rear speaker combo received a five-star rating when we reviewed it and is the perfect companion to LG’s TVs thanks to support for the brand’s proprietary WOW features. Typically costing £1,499, you can grab it for £750 by adding both it and the 65in LG B4 to your John Lewis basket and adding the promo code US95TR50 at checkout.
17:17 | 15 Nov
Black Friday offers on Sky Glass
As part of a Black Friday sale on its broadband, TV, and mobile products, Sky is offering discounts on its much-loved streaming television, Sky Glass.
While we had reservations about its picture quality and interface at launch, Sky Glass was improved enormously by an update last year and ended up as 2024’s best-selling television.
You can currently pick up the 43in model with a subscription to Sky TV and Netflix on a 24-month contract for £33/mth plus an upfront fee of £20. The 55in screen size will set you back £38/mth over the same period. Those prices equate to a saving of over £165.
11:11 | 15 Nov
Our favourite budget Samsung TV is cheaper than ever
If you’re after a Samsung TV and don’t plan on splashing out on one of its pricey OLED models, this is the early Black Friday deal for you. The Samsung Q60D, which uses an innovative Dual LED panel, has hit its lowest-ever price on Amazon.
There are discounts on each of the screen sizes that bring them down to a fraction of their RRP. But as these RRPs are often misleading, let’s look at how the current pricing compares to when we awarded the TV a five-star rating in July’s Samsung Q60D review:
- 43in Samsung Q60D: was £429; now £377
- 50in Samsung Q60D: was £540; now £434
- 55in Samsung Q60D: was £629; now £507
- 65in Samsung 60D: was £859; now £653
- 75in Samsung Q60D: was £1,289; now £993
- 85in Samsung Q60D: was £1,599; now £1,299
17:32 | 12 Nov
A “consummate entry-level OLED” for under a grand? Yes, please!
I want to draw your attention to a review of a TV that’s received a chunky discount for Black Friday. The Philips OLED759 is one of the most affordable OLEDs released this year and the 48in model is currently available for £849 at various retailers, down from its RRP of £1,099.
TV expert John Archer rated it highly, describing it as “one of the most well-featured and flat-out fun gaming displays” he’s come across for under £1,000 in his Philips OLED759 review. High praise indeed from a man who’s been writing about televisions for over 25 years.

Very drops an early Black Friday Sharp TiVo TV treat
While 50in and 55in remain the go-to screen sizes for most homes, larger TVs are growing in popularity and this offer on the Sharp GK4 gets you a whopping great 70in TV for under £500.
It’s not a model we’ve reviewed, so we can’t comment on how it performs, but the specs look great for the money. Three HDMI 2.1 ports, a refresh rate of 60Hz and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos mean it should deliver on the picture, audio and gaming fronts, while TiVo OS provides access to a wide range of streaming platforms and supports Freely.
Typically priced between £649 and £699, the 70in GK4 is available for just £489, which looks like fantastic value given what it brings to the table.

Become an AO member and get the incredible LG C4 at its lowest-ever price
LG’s C Series OLED has been one of the most sought-after TVs in Black Fridays gone by and I anticipate the 2024 model – explosively named the C4 – to continue that trend.
It’s an incredible television capable of doing justice to any content you throw at it thanks to support for every HDR format and a great range of picture enhancement technologies. In his LG C4 review, Stephen Withers praised its exceptional accuracy, wide viewing angles and impressive reflection handling along with LG’s wonderful webOS smart system.
The C4 is an especially good choice for gamers. All four of its HDMI ports are of the 2.1 specification and support 4K@144Hz (despite the panel’s native resolution being 120Hz). LG’s Game Optimizer mode is one of the best around for elevating your OLED gaming experience and input lag is lightning-fast at just 5ms.
When Steve reviewed the LG C4, the 55in model cost £1,599. It’s come down steadily in price since then and has been hovering around £1,300 over the past couple of months. AO members (it’s free to sign up) can currently pick one up for £1,135, which is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it.

Don’t buy the Fire TV Omni QLED (for now)
The Amazon listing for the brand’s Fire TV Omni QLED television would have you believe that its various screen sizes are available at big discounts. But if you’re considering picking one up, I urge you to hold fire.
Not because the TV isn’t good – it’s a great mid-range QLED model that picked up a five-star rating from Stephen Withers – but because it’s likely to see larger price cuts as we get closer to Black Friday.
The 50in and 55in models cost £380 and £430 during Prime Day in October, which is significantly cheaper than the £480 and £520 they’re currently being sold for.
I’ll be posting details on this page if/when it receives a similar Black Friday price drop, but for now, I’d recommend avoiding it if you don’t want to feel buyer’s remorse come the end of the month.

Save £200 on a five-star Mini LED TV from Hisense
The Hisense U8N received a five-star rating and our Recommended award when we reviewed the 65in model at £1,499. You can currently pick up that screen size for an enticing £1,299 at Amazon in what the retail giant describes as a “Limited Time deal”. Quite how long the deal will last remains to be seen but I expect it to run until at least Cyber Monday (2 December).
Packed with cutting-edge features, able to deliver extremely bright HDR images thanks to its quantum dot-enhanced Mini LED panel and with Freely on board to provide access to live and on-demand UK TV content, it’s a fantastic all-rounder if you’re after a big TV for your living room.
If £1,299 is a bit spendy, you might also wish to consider the 65in Hisense U7N, which has been discounted to £899, but the step-up model is vastly superior where picture quality is concerned.

Black Friday 2024, let’s go!
Hello and welcome to our coverage of this year’s Black Friday TV deals. Tech Editor Andy White reporting for duty to bring you the best bargains the internet has to offer. And what better place to start than with an all-time low price on one of our favourite TVs of the year?
Amazon currently has the 55in Samsung S95D listed for £1,548, which is £150 cheaper than it costs at Samsung and other third-party retailers including Currys and John Lewis.
TV reviewer Stephen Withers said the S95D “redefines what a 4K OLED TV can do in terms of image accuracy, colour gamut and HDR performance” and described it as a “very early contender for TV of the year” back in March. It’s still very much in that conversation eight months on and is an even more appealing option at its cheapest-ever price.
