Is Black Friday the best time to buy a TV?
If you’re looking for a solid deal on a TV, you’ll find plenty of opportunities throughout the year. That said, major shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and other seasonal sales will likely give you the best value for your investment.
What should I look for in a Black Friday TV deal?
When it comes to TVs, a few key factors should be considered: size, resolution and budget. We tend to recommend sizing up to the larger screens when you can, as a big picture will make a more noticeable difference than image quality will, generally speaking. If you’re looking for the best picture quality with the highest contrast you can get, however, OLED or mini-LED TVs are your best bet. With the popularity of streaming services continuing to surge, considering a smart TV with a built-in platform may be a good idea, although you can always purchase a streaming device of your choosing later.
Where can I find the best Black Friday TV deals?
You’ll find major discounts on TVs across several retailers ahead of Black Friday and in the days following the main event. Amazon’s Black Friday sale has discounted Fire TVs, and you can find numerous deals on a wide variety of TVs at Walmart’s Black Friday sale, among other retailers. While you’ll find plenty of in-store doorbuster deals on TVs, we often find that shopping online allows you a chance to compare specs and prices across various models so that you can find the right fit for you. Plus, the convenience of having a TV shipped right to your door is hard to beat.
