We all know that Black Friday is the best time of year to buy a TV. Where to find those stellar TV deals is less obvious, and for many, a question that boils down to one simple question: Amazon or somewhere else?
While Amazon does have its fair share of stellar Black Friday doorbuster TV deals, we have to be honest: Best Buy and Walmart bring some serious competition in this space. Before pulling the trigger on a cheap TV at Amazon, it’s worth checking the selection elsewhere. Of course, Amazon will have the lowest price on its own Fire TVs as well as Fire TVs made by TCL, Toshiba, Hisense, and Insignia. And now that Amazon’s Black Friday sale is officially underway, most have dropped to all-time low pricing. In fact, some of those TVs are already low in stock, considering Amazon kicked off its Black Friday sale on Thursday, Nov. 21.
Amazon is a good place to find an affordable 4K TV with a smooth smart TV interface. That’s especially true now that Amazon has debuted new versions of its Omni TVs, including its very first mini LED TV. However, you can also find some good deals on premium TVs at Amazon, especially if you’ve been eyeing Samsung’s art TV The Frame or an award-winning LG OLED TV. As of this writing, Amazon has the best prices on these flagship TVs, though only by a few dollars.
For the biggest selection of QLED or OLED models, check Best Buy’s Black Friday TV deals. It has a bigger selection of large-screen premium options from Samsung, Sony, and LG, and that selection isn’t riddled with questionable third-party sellers like Amazon’s. And if you’re looking on the other end of the pricing spectrum, Walmart is offering the cheapest possible 4K TVs in 2024.
Don’t want to price-check TVs across all the different retailers? That’s why you’ve got us. In this guide, we’ll curate the best Black Friday Amazon TV deals. We’re confident you won’t find these TVs at a cheaper price anywhere else.
Best budget Black Friday TV deal at Amazon
Why we like it
Having covered so many Black Friday events in the past, we can tell you this: TCL is the king of Black Friday doorbuster TV deals. That goes for Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. And while TCL has expanded its lineup in the mid-range and near-premium categories, it still makes budget TVs for the masses. And that’s exactly what this is. We won’t lie and say this is anything but a basic TV with a basic LED display. However, it’s hard to argue with $349.99 for a 65-inch smart TV, and we’re not going to try.
Best mid-range Black Friday TV deal at Amazon

Amazon put its new Mini LED Fire TVs on sale for the first time mere days after announcing them, but that doesn’t automatically make those the best deal on a QLED TV at Amazon this Black Friday. We have to give up that prize to this huge 75-inch Hisense TV, which is already ridiculously affordable at full price. Its $549.99 sale price looks even sweeter when compared side-by-side with Amazon’s cheapest in-house Omni QLED, which is on sale for $599.99. This TCL gets you 10 more inches of screen for $50 less.
If you need to replace your old, slow TV and are looking for a happy medium between the cheapest possible TV and the fanciest possible TV, then TCL’s base-tier QLEDs hit the sweet spot. Even as one of the more basic QLEDs on the market, you’ll immediately notice the improved brightness and color of the Q65. The difference comes from a layer of quantum dots laid over the LED backlight, which provides an overall punchier picture that’s much better for gaming or watching sports.

Best premium TV deal at Amazon
Why we like it
You can buy a lot of amazing TVs on Black Friday, but Samsung’s The Frame has a legit claim on being the best TV in the world right now, full stop. Mashable was there when Samsung debuted the new iteration of the famous art TV in New York City. The Frame isn’t just a 4K TV with a pristine QLED display; it’s also an art gallery for your living room wall. When you’re not streaming, The Frame’s screen displays classic works of art, contemporary photography, or your own photos. It’s also got an AI processor and an incredibly unique “matte display,” which makes glare disappear.

One more thing: If you’re getting rid of an old TV to make room for this Black Friday purchase, take it somewhere that recycles old electronics (like Best Buy) rather than trashing it.
