TV prices tend to follow a seasonal cycle, where each major sale outshines the previous one. In other words, while October Prime Day brought us plenty of excellent TV deals, we expect Black Friday to deliver even better ones.

The official Black Friday sales event is only a couple of weeks away. The best of the best discounts are yet to come. Still, if your TV has taken its last breath and you can’t wait until the day after Thanksgiving to grab a new one, there are plenty of TVs already on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Our favorite OLED TV of 2026 is down to a record low, and we’re seeing smaller budget picks clocking in at fantastic prices.

Our tech experts will be closely monitoring TV prices throughout Black Friday to find the best deals from top brands like TCL, Samsung, Hisense, Amazon Fire TV, LG, and beyond. Stay tuned as the shopping season heats up.

Why we like it

Our favorite OLED TV for most people just keeps getting cheaper. We saw the 65-inch LG C6 OLED TV drop to just $1,499.99 from $2,699.99 during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event, but now it’s $100 less as we inch closer to Black Friday. Both Amazon and Best Buy have the same deal, so if one sells out, be sure to check the other.

OLED TVs are expensive, but the C6 is relatively affordable compared to competitors’ prices. Thanks to this $1,300 price drop, it’s an even more outstanding value. Mashable TV expert Leah Stodart raved about its inky black levels, stark contrast, and “generally impeccable image quality” in our roundup of the best TVs of 2026. It’s also worth noting that it has even higher peak brightness, more vibrant colors, better audio, and a higher refresh rate than its predecessor.

Why we like it

A 40-inch QLED TV for this price is an absolute steal, especially if you’re looking to outfit one or more of your rooms with another display. TCL’s Q3CR Series pairs a quantum-dot panel with a direct-lit backlight, so colors come through saturated, with Full HD resolution that’s plenty sharp at 40 inches. Plus, its built-in Roku streaming functionality means you can toss the streaming stick and use just the TV to watch all your favorite shows and movies, hassle-free.
