We’re seeing the discounts on Amazon’s Fire TVs we’ve come to expect, both the basic Fire TV as well as the (still basic) Omni set. The Toshiba C350 at Amazon is at an all-time low, and our budget TV picks are basically a collection of smart 4K TVs at various sizes, with some basic HDR technology to boot. TCL and Hisense offer solid value.
OLED TVs are known for their deep, inky blacks, and we really think that the Sony 55-inch Bravia OLED from Best Buy offers what you want: a sizeable TV with a premium display technology at a steep discount. The LG A2 is a much smaller model. The LG C-Series at Newegg is an excellent upgrade and is highly rated by many publications.
The Samsung TU690T display prioritizes screen size. Sony’s 4K Full Array XR65X90K is priced a bit higher, but its full-array local dimming is a compromise between an LED-lit TV and OLED, and will simply look a bit better than the other budget TVs–it’s also at an all-time low price.
We also like the Hisense U7H, as it offers local dimming, a 120Hz refresh rate, and has some newer features that include an absolutely brilliant backlight that can improve HDR viewing. Amazon and Best Buy offer different sizes, but the best prices. To find the best deals, hop between retailers.
FAQ
1.
What should I look for in a Black Friday TV?
Size matters. Most people probably want to buy a 50-inch TV or larger for their living room or family room. We encourage you to review TechHive’s straightforward explanation of what TV sizes matter, TV display types and display technologies, and LCD backlighting tech.
The short answer is to get the largest TV you are comfortable with. The second is to focus on backlighting. Most TVs use LEDs, but more advanced TVs use QLED or miniLED, and the very best models use OLED display tech. OLED TVs offer many benefits, including inky blacks and richer colors. HDR (High Dynamic range) is another option that can enhance the quality of your TV’s colors and give you a more movie-like experience. Most TVs now ship with HDR10, but an HDR10+ display (such as HDR400) will deliver a brighter display and better contrast. This is something your eyes will love.
Finally, pay attention to smart features which connect your TV to a streaming media interface via a Roku or Google/Android TV. Each platform gives you quick access to streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu and HBO Max. It all depends on your preference and whether you prefer to use the additional remote of an Apple TV box.
You do not need the latest technology, and our picks represent what we consider to be the best value, without asking you to pay several hundred dollars for incremental improvements.
