Black Friday used to mean one single day of chaos. Doorbusters, trampled aisles and a mad dash to get your hands on the products you've been eyeing for months for their very best prices. That tradition has quietly faded as Black Friday moved online and stores have found that it might be a better strategy to stretch out Black Friday deals across the whole of November.
This year, Black Friday falls on November 27, but we're already seeing some decent discounts. If you've been waiting for the right time to upgrade your TV, well, now's the time to do so. So far, we're already seeing some of the best models out there available for their lowest prices yet, so there's no real reason to wait. Plus, discounted goods might go out of stock, and you don't want to fight with a million other people at checkout like you're on Ticketmaster trying to bag concert tickets.
We've gone and dug around for some of the best early Black Friday deals on TVs, checked price histories, looked at reviews, specs and everything else about these products.
The LG OLED evo AI C6 is cheaper than it's ever been. The 42-inch model is now down to $880, a solid $520 under its MSRP on Amazon. Not only does its OLED panel deliver deep blacks and impressively high contrast, it also comes with Dolby Vision and Filmmaker mode with Ambient Light technology to keep colors accurate regardless of your room' lighting. According to an RTings review, this panel is bright enough to handle some glare during the day, though it won't be as effective as a matte display.
This TV is a great pick for gamers too, thanks to the 0.1ms response time and up to 165Hz refresh rate. Plus, with support for both NVIDIA's G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium, it can enable smoother gameplay. The TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K support, so switching between consoles and PCs doesn't require plugging and unplugging. The LG OLED evo AI C6 features the A11 AI processor Gen 3 that can handle upscaling and sound processing, so even if you're watching older content, it will look as close to 4K as possible.
Could this 42-inch LG OLED evo AI C6 drop even more on Black Friday? Maybe. But $520 off is already a great discount.
The Sony Bravia 6 is more affordable than it's ever been with this early Black Friday 40 percent discount. Dropping from $2,000 to $1,198 at Amazon, that's an absolutely massive discount for a 65-inch smart TV.
According to the RTings review of this TV, it's a solid option for those looking for a home theater TV, thanks to its excellent performance in a dark room. But the publication noted that bright scenes can look dim.
