Upgrading to a 4K TV — even a QLED or OLED — no longer has to be an intimidating financial setback. High-quality TVs featuring punchy colors, decipherable shadows, and smooth transitions have become increasingly affordable for regular consumers, made even more budget-friendly by frequent sales from retailers like Best Buy, Samsung, Walmart, and Amazon.

TV deals are categorized by brand, then listed in order of size (smallest to largest) and price (lowest to highest).

Our pick: Samsung 85-inch Q80C QLED TV

Why we love it

Of the handful of 85-inch Samsung TVs on sale this week, we think the deal on the Q80C is the best bang for your buck — considering Samsung has it marked as a Black Friday deal, complete with an extra $200 discount on top of its sale price from last week, bringing the total cost below $2,000.

The Q80C is Samsung's most advanced QLED (before meeting the Neo QLED side of the family), packing 96 precisely-lit local dimming zones for the meticulous brightness necessary for watching sports in the daylight. Also present are advanced gaming features like a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR support.

LG TV deals

Why we love it

LG's OLED models got a glow-up in 2023, and the B3 model is the most affordable one even at full price. With Best Buy's 35% discount on the 65-inch model, this big screen is basically begging to be in your living room.

The B3's lower price point can mostly be attributed to its less-advanced a7 processor compared to the C3 and G3's Alpha a9. However, the B3 runs laps around the cheapest-of-the-cheap 4K TVs with Dolby Vision and next-gen gaming features like a 120 Hz refresh rate, both of which help to push those 8.3 million self-lit pixels to their fullest potential.

Sony TV deals

Why we love it

A cheap OLED to Sony and a cheap OLED to the rest of us mean two very different things, but this early Black Friday deal makes Sony's lowest-tier OLED from the 2023 TV lineup look far more approachable.

The A80L is bright and starkly contrasted with flawless black uniformity — a rare combination that makes this TV pop in both bright and dark rooms. Even as the baseline OLED, the A80L is still armed with the same Cognitivie Processor XR that the pricier 2023 Sony OLEDs are, making it a perfectionist when it comes to upscaling low-res content.

Why we love it

Almost every 2023 TCL TV is seeing a further discount on the already-good sale prices that they were at for weeks, but this model in particular deserves a special shout-out. In what seems to be a Best Buy exclusive situation, TCL's Q5 series recently became available and knocked the Q6 Series out of its spot as the brand's most affordable QLED. And with Best Buy's discount pushing this model under $300, it's easily the cheapest 55-inch QLED on our list. A quick scroll up to our mid-size QLED picks from Samsung, Sony, and LG make the rarity of a 55-inch QLED TV under $350 palpable.

The Q5 has most of the same specs as the Q6 including HDR PRO+ with Dolby Vision, Motion Rate 240 motion smoothing technology (a win for gamers on a budget), three HDMI ports, and built-in Google Assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions


Refresh rate essentially dictates how fast the screen updates the image to keep up with whatever you're watching. Officially, this is measured in Hertz (Hz), with the number preceding Hz referring to the number of times per second the screen refreshes the image.

60 Hz is the number you'll come across in most budget and mid-range TVs, while premium models usually jump to 120 Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the less lag you'll notice while watching a fast-paced game.
