In a time when inflation is (still) raising prices, it’s exciting to find products that are a real bargain during Black Friday. It’s especially exciting to find big-ticket electronics on sale, including TVs.
TVs are getting cheaper — screen sizes that were several hundred dollars just a few years ago are just a couple hundred dollars today. And prices drop even lower during Black Friday, when it seems practically every TV is on sale.
If you’re looking to upgrade, we’ve scoured the Black Friday 2023 ads to find the best deals (from thrifty to luxury) from the major players, including Best Buy and Amazon. In the past, TV deals have been among the first Black Friday deals to sell out and deals are already going live, so act fast if you see a TV you want.

This is the lowest price we’re seeing on this screen size amid this year’s crop of Black Friday TV deals, making it the epitome of a doorbuster. It goes live with Walmart’s Black Friday online sale on Nov. 22 at 3 p.m. ET (Walmart+ members who are NOT on the free trial version get access at noon!)

Best Budget Option: Toshiba 50-inch Class C350 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV for $219.99 ($100 off) From Amazon
If you’re on a budget and looking for a decent screen size, check out this deal from Amazon, which comes with a voice remote. As a Fire TV, it makes it easy to watch Amazon Prime Video and Freevee, as well as any other streaming services you have. Is it the highest quality set you can get? Perhaps not — but the price point makes it a good deal if you’re on a budget or looking to get a TV for the guest room.
If the idea of having a TV left on your doorstep makes you uncomfortable, this TV is fulfilled by Best Buy, so you can pick it up at your nearest Best Buy store!
Price: $219.99 at Amazon.com
Best Luxury Deal: Samsung – 98” Class Q80C QLED 4K UHD Smart Tizen TV for $4,897.99 ($3,000 off) at Amazon
We realize this might not be a deal for everyone, but if you’re looking to outfit your home theater and have the space (in your home AND in your budget), this gets you 38% off an almost 100-inch screen. This is one of the mega-TVs that is just starting to become possible for regular humans to buy for their homes.
Price: $4,897 at Amazon
Best Big (But Also Affordable) Screen Deal: Samsung – 75″ Class TU690T Crystal UHD 4K Smart Tizen TV for $579.99 ($170 off)
Maybe you don’t need a 100-incher but still want some size in your screen. This set sports 4.7/5 stars on Best Buy’s website, and reviewers praise the picture and the sound. With 4K UHD upscaling, HDR and a fast processor, this set gives you a home theater experience but at a price point that’s probably in the range of more households.
Price: $579.99 at Best Buy
Best Giant-Screen Steal: LG – 86” Class UR7800 Series LED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV for $899.99 ($350 off)
If you find yourself longing for the 100-incher above, but want the price tags of smaller TVs, this deal is the best of both worlds: An 86-inch screen for under $1K. This deal is exciting because it really shows that big screens are coming down in price. We looked in our vaults, and this one is cheaper than the 77-inch TVs we saw last year on Black Friday (those were priced at $1K+). This year, you can get a bigger screen for less. And? If you’re a Best Buy member, you get an extra $100 off! This set has 4.6/5 stars on BestBuy.com, and the reviews are full of people who were happy with their choice to spring for the huge screen size.
Price: $899.99 at Best Buy
The Just-the-Right-Size and Just-the-Right-Price Deal for Normal People: Samsung 65″ class CU7000 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV for $429.99 ($50 off)
This deal splits the difference between a high-quality brand and a reasonable screen size. While you can find cheaper lower-quality sets at this size, this one is still one of the lowest prices at the 65-inch screen size we are seeing this year, and it’s from a reputable brand. Make sure to claim our cash back offer to get 2% back.
Price: $429.99 at Target
