Best Black Friday & Cyber Monday TV deals for 2024
Big screens, big discounts
Black Friday remains the best time of year to find tech bargains, followed soon after by the gadget deals available on Cyber Monday. TV discounts galore are still up for grabs as we head towards the culmination of the sales, with offers scheduled to continue till Cyber Monday (2 December).
In this article, we’ve gathered everything you need to know about Black Friday TV deals for 2024, from timing your purchase to recommendations of the best TVs to buy in 2024.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a high-end OLED for a serious home cinema setup, one of the best 55-inch TVs, or you want a budget-friendly 4K screen, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are prime time for savings.
Here’s a breakdown of the most anticipated discounts, along with answers to common questions on how to shop the sales smartly this year.
The newest 4-series Amazon Fire TV is on an introductory 35% off, down to £329.99 from its RRP of £499.99 — but the offer ends at midnight tonight.
This new version has an ultra-slim bezel and better HDR support to make films and shows look their best. There's limited stock, so each customer is only allowed two of these TVs.
Save £400 on one of the best TVs we’ve tested all year. The Sony A80L is a gorgeous OLED panel packed full of features. It makes films and shows look their absolute best with its high dynamic range and stunning brightness, it handles motion beautifully for sports fans, it has impressive low latency for gamers, and it delivers immersive and atmospheric sound quality.
In our tests, it earned an impressive score of 95/100 and the distinction of being named the “best TV for boxset binge-watching” – and, right now, it’s on a great offer for Black Friday, whether you pick this one or the 65-inch variant (reduced by £300).
A high-ranking pick from our roundup of the best 55" TVs, this LG OLED C4 model scored 88/100 in our hands-on testing, and stood out as the ideal choice for watching sport thanks to its silky-smooth motion handling.
Where this TV does really well is picture clarity. The screen's self-lit pixels provide incredibly sharp details and eye-catching colour contrasts.
On test, we were highly impressed by the Hisense U8N, the brand's latest Mini LED flagship. It's one of our favourites for low-glare viewing in brightly lit rooms, reaching high levels of brightness while preserving its impressive black levels and vibrant colours.
It earned a score of 90/100 and has excellent built-in streaming, Dolby Atmos sound and image quality.
Philips Ambilight 77OLED759 4K OLED Smart TV - 77-Inch
What's special about this Philips TV is that it has integrated LED lights on the back of the set, and these react to what's happening on the screen. It makes what you're watching more immersive and will look great during movie night in a dark room!
We've linked to the large 77-inch screen size, which has the biggest discount here, but it's worth noting that there are price drops on the 48-inch, 55-inch and 65-inch sizes too.
This is a new all-time lowest-ever price for Amazon's 43-inch Omni QLED TV, at a full 44% off its RRP. We think it's a great option if you're after a budget TV but don't want to sacrifice picture quality or features.
It delivers solid 4K and HDR support, along with Amazon's Fire TV interface for built-in streaming.
The 65-inch LG C4 OLED Evo, which scored 88/100, is also on sale – it's a high-performance upgrade to the C3, offering exceptional picture quality, extensive connectivity, and class-leading gaming features with four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K at 120Hz.
Running on LG’s webOS platform, it has smooth app navigation, personalised profiles, and impressive image processing for vibrant colours and deep contrast.
There's an impressive introductory offer on the newly launched Mini-LED series of Amazon Fire TVs. This is a brand-new TV that will cost £849.99 for the 55-inch size, £1,149.99 for the 65-incher, and £1,599.99 for the 77-inch one.
Every size is reduced, with the biggest discount available on the 55-inch, now £649.99 and 24% off. The launch deal is confirmed to end on 2 December at 11:59 pm. And because there's only limited stock available, they're limited to two per customer.
A 32-inch smart TV is ideal if you want a model for the kitchen or a bedroom that needs to be small and functional. This is more of a minor price drop than it is a huge discount, as this telly has been at a lower price in October, but it's still good value for the features on offer.
A brand-new TV for 2024, the Sony Bravia 8 is an incredible OLED that follows up the Sony A80L, a top performer from our testing that earned a 95/100 score.
Like that model, this has a sleek and stunning design and delivers exceptional image quality and motion handling. It's also 10% brighter and delivers a better audio experience. It's potentially worth buying at this price while it's closer in cost to its predecessor.
Looking for a TV that adapts to your interior design? The Frame can be dressed up with picture frame surrounds, so it resembles a work of art when wall mounted.
This 2024 4K QLED smart telly boasts streaming services, a dedicated hub for cloud-based gaming, colour-rich picture quality, and impressive audio functionality with 40W of amplification.
For vibrant picture quality and easy access to streaming apps, the 43-inch 43E6NTUK is a great budget buy – and it's currently over 30% off for Black Friday week.
Just how affordable can a smart TV be? This compact, capable option from TCL is surely a contender, especially when Amazon's current 29%-off Black Friday deal is factored in.
For £127.70, this TV gives you the basic platform you need to enjoy streaming content and video games on the cheap. Considering its Alexa voice control, Fire TV and Smart Cast features, this TCL telly could prove an incredibly good-value buy.
One of the best things about Black Friday and Cyber Monday is that you can sometimes pick up good-quality, mid-market tech at the sort of price you'd normally associate with a budget model.
Case in point: the LG LED UR78 43-inch 4K Smart TV (2023), which delivers 4K resolution and offers a host of advanced features, including the webOS smart TV platform. With 42% off in Amazon's sale, this model is close to its lowest-ever price, at £249.
The Samsung QE65S85D boasts a 65-inch 4K OLED TV screen combining Quantum Dot technology with OLED for vivid colours and deep blacks.
With HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, and Samsung's Neural Quantum Processor, it offers an immersive, high-quality viewing experience on Tizen OS.
Plus, you can save £200 off selected Samsung Soundbars with the code ‘SAMSUNGBAR200’ at checkout now.
Are TVs cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the UK?
Yes, TVs are among the most heavily discounted items during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the UK.
Retailers like Currys, Amazon, and John Lewis are offering significant reductions across a variety of models, from flagship OLEDs to value 4K sets.
Popular brands including LG, Sony, and Samsung feature in the sale, so it’s worth comparing offers across multiple retailers to find the best deal.
Is it better to wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday to buy a TV?
Absolutely. For those aiming to maximise their savings, Black Friday is one of the best times of the year to buy a TV. Prices often drop lower than standard discounts.
Some stores also offer price matching, so it’s smart to grab a TV during the Black Friday weekend or on Cyber Monday to ensure you’re getting the best value.
What is Black Friday in the UK?
Black Friday is one of the largest retail events in the UK, initially inspired by the American shopping holiday following Thanksgiving.
Both online and high-street retailers offer substantial markdowns across categories, but electronics – and TVs in particular – often see some of the best discounts.
When does Black Friday end?
This year, Black Friday falls on 29 November 2024, with discounts continuing throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday on 2 December 2024.
Most, although perhaps not all, of the Black Friday discounts will expire at the end of the 2 December 2024.
How long do the Black Friday sales last?
While Black Friday itself is just one day, sales now frequently span several weeks. Many retailers launch early Black Friday deals in early November, and some discounts carry over into "Cyber Week".
The best offers tend to be available over the Black Friday weekend and often extend through to Cyber Monday, so we'd anticipate that they'll conclude at the end of the day on 2 December.
What is the best TV to buy right now?
Luckily, at the Good Housekeeping Institute, we’ve been testing the best TVs throughout 2024.
Panasonic’s MZ2000 is the top option for those seeking a cinematic experience at home. It was the top scorer after our rigorous tests, earning 97/100.
It combines Panasonic’s ultra-bright OLED panel with Dolby Atmos sound, producing a rich, vibrant image and immersive audio. It’s available in either 55-inch, 65-inch or 77-inch sizes and the TV’s gaming-friendly features and intuitive light-sensing adjustments make it versatile and user-friendly, although it’s at a premium price point and recently has been harder to find in stock.
Scoring 95/100, Sony's A80L is a superb value-for-money OLED TV. With excellent picture quality, vibrant colours, and 50W Acoustic Surface Audio for crisp, powerful sound, it's ideal for binge-watching your favourite shows, while effective motion handling ensures smooth live sports viewing, too.
Another high-scoring model is Samsung’s QE65S95D (93/100), a bright OLED TV with an anti-reflective screen, that excels in rooms with ample lighting. Though it lacks Dolby Vision support, it has great gaming features, making it a versatile all-rounder (available in 55-inch, 65-inch or 77-inch variants).
If you’re looking for some value picks, Hisense and TCL offer impressive options. Hisense’s 65U8NQTUK (90/100) is an affordable Mini LED TV (sold only in 65-inch and 75-inch sizes) with great brightness and Dolby Atmos sound, suited for bright rooms and gaming with its 120Hz support.
TCL’s C805 Mini LED (86/100) provides exceptional picture quality at under £600, with Google TV support and 144Hz gaming compatibility, making it a top choice for budget-conscious buyers who still want premium features. It comes in a wide range of six sizes from 50 inches to 98 inches.
For bright room viewing, Samsung’s QN85C Neo QLED (88/100) delivers vibrant images and solid audio performance, marking it as a strong all-purpose option (available at 55-inch, 65-inch, 75-inch or 85-inch screen sizes).
