Black Friday officially arrives on November 28 and even though we’re still a few weeks away, there are already some great early TV deals.
As one of TechRadar’s TV reviewers, I’ve seen thousands of Black Friday deals and know that some of the best offers actually arrive much earlier than Black Friday itself.
Today’s best Black Friday TV deals
LG C5
The LG C5 is an excellent all-rounder, thanks to its superb picture quality, brilliant gaming performance and features and intuitive smart TV platform. It’s also the most competitively priced TV in the mid-range OLED category.
When I tested the LG C5, I was seriously impressed by its picture. It delivered strong contrast with rich blacks and vivid, vibrant colors, along with crisp textures that made movies like Wicked look stunning and true-to-life. Its motion handling is also impressive, making it a great choice for sports fans.
The C5 is one of the best gaming TVs I’ve tested this year. A full suite of features including 4K 144Hz, VRR (FreeSync and G-Sync included), HGiG, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming are all supported across four HDMI 2.1 ports. The C5 also boasts an ultra-low 9.2ms input lag time (in Boost mode), which made fast-paced games I played like Battlefield V feel smooth, even in the most chaotic sequences.
The C5 has already seen some excellent discounts this year and the lead-up to Black Friday will be no different. Today’s best deal sees the 55-inch C5’s price slashed to $1,199 (was $1,266) at Amazon. It’s not the cheapest it’s ever been, but this is still a great deal.
LG B5
One of 2025’s best OLED TVs at a more affordable price, the LG B5 brings the same features of the step-up C5 while still delivering fantastic picture quality in its own right.
When I tested the B5, I was pleased to see that it delivered the same rich colors, powerful contrast and realistic textures of the step-up C5. It may have limited brightness compared to other OLEDs, but the B5’s picture is still perfect for any type of movie or TV show you watch.
The B5 is also an accomplished gaming TV. It supports 4K 120Hz, FreeSync and G-Sync, HGiG, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming across four HDMI 2.1 ports. It has the same ultra-low 9.2ms input lag time as its step-up siblings, the C5 and G5, and when I played Battlefield V on it, I had a ton of fun.
The B5 is one of the most affordable OLED TVs on the market and this deal knocks the 65-inch B5 down to $996.99 (was $1,1796.99) at Amazon – a record-low price!
Hisense U8QG
Hisense’s U8 series TVs have been popular here at TechRadar for several years, thanks to their impressive performance and features for the price. The Hisense U8QG, its 2025 entry, may just be the best one yet.
What most impressed us about the U8QG was its staggering 3,337 nits brightness, which made pictures exceptionally vibrant and punchy. The U8QG’s refined local dimming also made dark content look great on the U8QG, with shadowy scenes full of detail and deep blacks.
The U8QG is a strong gaming TV too, with 4K 165Hz, FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming support across all three of its HDMI 2.1 ports. It also registered a 9.9ms input lag time when we measured it, an impressive result as compared to rival mini-LED TVs from TCL.
Hisense’s mini-LED TVs are always excellent value and the U8QG is no different. This deal finds the 55-inch model crashing to a near record-low $797.99 (was $997.99) at Amazon.
Samsung QN90F
While Samsung may face stiff competition in the mini-LED market from the likes of Hisense and TCL, the Samsung QN90F shows why it sometimes pays to pay more.
We found during our testing that the Samsung QN90F is perfect for daytime viewing, thanks to its high brightness and Glare Free anti-reflection screen. The QN90F also delivers great contrast, bold colors and refined textures and its motion processing makes it a great TV for sports.
The QN90F is perfect for gamers too. Four HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K 165Hz, VRR including FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and HDR10+ gaming. It also has Samsung’s Gaming Hub, a portal for cloud-based services such as Xbox, Nvidia GeForce Now and Luna. Its 9.5ms input lag time is up there with the best gaming TVs.
The QN90F is on the pricier side in the mini-LED market, but it delivers where it counts. So any time there is a deal, it’s worth checking out and right now the QN90F 55-inch has crashed to $1,197 (was $1,597) at Amazon, an excellent sale on this TV.
Samsung S90F (65-inch)
The Samsung S90F is subject to a panel lottery in some of its sizes (meaning you may either get a W-OLED or QD-OLED panel) so it can make for a tough recommendation. One exception to that is its 65-inch model, which Samsung has confirmed to come with the more premium QD-OLED panel.
During our testing of the 65-inch S90F, we were blown away by its rich color and strong contrast, with blacks looking accurate and dark scenes looking authentic. The S90F is also great at upscaling low-resolution content, giving images a crisper look. It also delivers more brightness than similarly priced OLEDs, hitting 1,500 nits.
Like most of Samsung’s TVs, the S90F delivers brilliantly for gaming. It supports 4K 144Hz, FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and HDR10+ gaming. It also has an ultra-low 9.2ms input lag for responsive performance and its superb picture delivers beautiful gaming graphics.
The 65-inch S90F has dropped to $1,397.99 (was $1,997.99) at Amazon, which is a superb price for a QD-OLED TV at this size.
Hisense U75QG
The Hisense U75QG is the brand’s mid-range model in its 2025 mini-LED lineup, delivering a great stock of features with solid picture quality to match.
The U75QG delivers staggering brightness for a mid-range TV. When we tested it (review to come soon), it hit 3,126 nits, one of the highest numbers we’ve seen from a TV in this price range. We were also impressed by the U75QG’s local dimming and black levels during testing, with dark scenes from movies like Gravity appearing accurate.
The U75QG is also great for gaming, with four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K 165Hz, FreeSync Premium Pro, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming. And its ultra-low 9.8ms input lag time resulted in snappy performance when we played challenging games such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. There aren’t many TVs at this price with this much to offer for gaming.
The U75QG is already a fantastic value, but the larger 75-inch U75QG has dropped to $1,097.99 (was $1,398) at Amazon. This is a brilliant price for a 75-inch mini-LED TV with this many features.
