Best Black Friday 2023 TV deals: OLED, QLED and more for UK and US
The best Black Friday deals on DF-approved sets from Sony, LG, Samsung and more.
Black Friday and deals on big 4K TVs go together like peanut butter and jelly, so we've rounded up the best discounts on models we've tested and recommend - including OLEDs, QLEDs and cheaper LED options for the US and UK markets.
If you're unsure of what telly to go for, and more integrally, where to find the best deals, stay right here - we'll continue updating this page throughout the remainder of Black Friday and then into Cyber Monday.
In terms of dividing this up, we're going to things by screen size, which should keep things easy if you're aware of how big your current TV is that you may end up replacing.
32-49 inches
UK deals
Even with the consistent rising of the average screen size on TVs being sold, the fact is that not everyone has the space for a 55-inch television, let alone anything bigger. This first set of deals is all on TVs up to 49 inches in size, which is going to best to go for if you don't have the space for anything bigger, or you don't want to spend as much on a larger telly.
Below is where you'll find deals on TVs up to 50 inches in size, and it's perhaps here where the best cross section of options can be found, whether you're looking for smaller OLED option, or a handy QLED choice, or more of a standard and more affordable LED TV.

Frequently Asked Questions
Of course, time and time again, there are going to be important questions about TVs, not least if you're deciding to grab a new one. Below, we'll take you through a handful of key Qs with our two cents added to help you make a properly informed buying decision.
Which TVs does Digital Foundry recommend?
Truth be told, we've recommended a wide range of TVs in our list of the best 4K gaming TVs, even though the list is a few months old. The fact remains that the likes of LG's series of OLEDs, be it the older C1s or the newer C2s will be an excellent choice, as well as Samsung's Neo QLED choices, for instance.
What TV deals do we expect to see?
Black Friday is always quite TV-centric, so it makes sense to expect deals on a wide range of tellies from the big manufacturers like LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and Philips. The likes of LG's C3 line has already experienced historic lows, so it would make sense to see that continue, as well as mega discounts on a wide range of QLED and LED TVs.
