Is Black Friday a good 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 are probably going to give you the best value for your investment. 

What sort of TV should I buy? 

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 -- though you can always purchase a streaming device of your choosing later.

Where is the best place to buy a TV on Black Friday?

You'll find major discounts on TVs across several retailers during Black Friday. In fact, Amazon's Black Friday sale has already discounted a multitude of Fire TVs ahead of the big day, and you can find numerous deals on a wide variety of TVs at both Walmart's Black Friday sale and Best Buy's Black Friday sale, among others. We expect even more deals to drop as we get closer to the big day. 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.
