25 best Black Friday TV deals for 2024: Samsung, LG, Fire TV, Roku and more, up to 50% off
As a tech writer, I hate to admit it: in my bedroom is a 32-inch hand-me-down TV that works only most of the time and is hard to see even on its good days. Thankfully, Black Friday is one of the best times of the year for that overdue upgrade with some of the best TV deals you’ll find. Amazon and Walmart are slashing prices on a range of TVs and tech — including stunning 4K models and massive screens that’ll make your living room (or in my case, bedroom) the place to be. Why wait for Super Bowl week when the savings are happening now?
Whether you’re looking for an incredibly compact unit for your kitchen, garage or camper, or you want a showstopper screen that will show off artwork when the TV is off, we’ve got you covered. How about an Insignia 24-inch Fire TV for just $60? (That’s probably less than your monthly streaming bill.) Want to go really big? Here’s an 86-inch LG for under a grand, or a 98-inch TCL for just $1,600 — that’s almost half off!
Not sure which models are worth your money, and which deals are really, well, deals? No worries — we’ve done the research for you to find the best bargains out there. And don’t miss our Black Friday tech deals roundup for even more savings.

Want big but not too big? This 55-inch screen is the Goldilocks of The Frame lineup. It delivers an impressive 4K experience suited for larger living rooms or entertainment spaces — and at 40% off, it’s among the best deals for anyone who doesn’t want to go big with the 85-inch.

While most TVs on this list feature 4K screens, this 42-inch 1080p model is hard to beat at just $130 (a mere penny off its lowest-ever price). It’s still high-def and it’s 72% larger than the 32-inch option, making it a great choice if you’re short on space but still want a significant upgrade to your viewing experience.
When our tech guru, Rick Broida, recommends something, I don’t ask too many questions. Here’s what he had to say about the Roku Pro Series: “With its superb user interface, excellent remote, automated picture settings and gorgeous screen, this is without question one of the best mid-range TVs you can buy — especially if you prize simplicity.”
His biggest downside? The price, which thanks to Black Friday is now $400 less.

The best Black Friday TV deals: 32 inches and under
How ’bout a bite-sized screen for a bite-sized price? Seriously: When was the last time you saw a TV at such a ridiculously low price? Tuck it into a spare bedroom, put it on the kitchen counter, even set it in the garage. If you like to wander, it makes an excellent choice for an RV.
Don’t let the low price fool you, either. Fans love it: “Excellent picture and sound quality. The picture is so bright and clear.”
Just because you don’t have room for a larger TV doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality or aesthetics — and the free bezel on this Frame makes the deal that much sweeter.
The best Black Friday TV deals: 33 to 49 inches
Don’t you think it’s time you smartened up … your entertainment setup? While Alexa makes searching and controlling your other devices a no-brainer, this set’s 1080p resolution, HDR 10 and Dolby Digital Audio bring the state-of-the-art audio and video you so richly deserve. And oh yeah: Fire TV offers access to over a million titles, including free options like Tubi and Pluto TV. Simply put, this set’s packed with features and capabilities you’d expect at a much higher price.

4K for under $300? We like those numbers! Seriously: You won’t find this kind of pixel density at this price anywhere else. No wonder over 1,000 of these have flown off the shelves in the past month. Even if your content isn’t in 4K (we’re looking at you, Turner Classic Movies fans), the built-in upscaling will still make it look sharper than ever.

Need a 4K TV with the very best that image quality it can offer, but don’t have room for a behemoth?

Plus, with its Motion Xcelerator technology, you’ll enjoy smooth, clear visuals, whether you’re streaming movies, watching sports or gaming.

The best Black Friday TV deals: 50 to 59 inches
Confession: While we’re loving all the deals in our Black Friday roundup, this 55-inch 4K TV is truly a standout. A bigger, higher-resolution upgrade from the models above, it delivers everything you need: impressive size, top-tier picture quality and all the apps, shows and movies that Fire TV brings to the table.
With 4K resolution and HDR 10, this TV delivers a sharp, vibrant picture, no matter which of the 1.5 million available movies or shows you’re streaming.
This 55-incher not only delivers stunning 4K Ultra HD visuals and Alexa Voice Remote convenience, but it features four HDMI ports, allowing you to connect all your other devices — like gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and soundbars — effortlessly. With access to top streaming services, it’s easy to find content and get personalized recommendations right on the built-in Fire TV interface.
This screen is the best-selling QLED at Amazon, and for good reason: value. While QLED doesn’t have as rich of blacks as OLED, it makes up for it in bright, vibrant colors that you can see clearly, even in the brightest of rooms. Plus, it’s much more budget-friendly, as you can tell by this under-$500 price tag.

Think all QLED is the same? Think again. Samsung’s Mini-LED tech, featured in its Neo QLED models, takes backlighting to the next level. Unlike standard QLED, Mini LEDs deliver precise control over brightness zones, which means you get sharper contrast and deeper black levels. This setup lets you enjoy vibrant colors and impressive detail, even in darker scenes. If you’re after a TV that won’t leave you squinting, this is the way to go.
OLED screens take your viewing experience to the next level. They give you perfect blacks, amazing contrast and super vibrant colors — all because each pixel lights up on its own. Watching from the side? No problem — everything still looks great. They’re super thin and lightweight. Plus, they’re easy on your eyes with less blue light. Whether you’re into gaming, TV shows or movies or just want a screen that looks incredible, OLED is hard to beat. Sure, they’re a bit pricier, but totally worth it for the wow factor, especially at these prices.

The best Black Friday TV deals: 60 to 79 inches
As big-screen upgrades go, this TV hits the sweet spot between premium features and wallet-friendly price. You’re getting a massive 65-inch 4K display with Dolby Vision and HDR 10, meaning those binge sessions or movie nights will look crystal clear and vibrant. Throw Alexa into the mix, and it’s essentially a smart-home hub masquerading as a TV. Plus, with Amazon regularly sending updates, this deal will actually get better and better over time.
Thanks to this set’s quantum dot display, HDR content practically leaps (get it — quantum leap?) off the screen. Whether you’re watching a late-night movie or catching a game in a bright living room, the QLED delivers razor-sharp contrast in any lighting.
PS: When you’re not using it, Ambient Experience tech turns your TV into a display for artwork or personal photos.
Our in-house tech guru Rick Broida tests a lot of TVs. I mean a ton. His favorite lineup of the year? The Roku Pro Series. Here’s what he had to say:
“It’s time to stop judging TVs on picture quality alone. The truth is, even cheap models have really good screens; pricier ones offer only incremental improvements to the average viewer. These days I’m more interested in the user experience: Is the TV easy to set up? Does it simplify complicated tasks like picture settings? Can I understand the interface without a degree in engineering? Heck, can I see the remote in the dark and find it when it’s lost? Roku’s new Pro Series TVs (55-, 65- and 75-inch) excel in all these areas while delivering a gorgeous QLED-powered picture.”
If you want to upgrade from a basic 4K TV to one with more features and a higher-end picture, this Samsung is a steal. OLED TVs take picture quality up a notch with individual pixels that can turn off entirely, delivering true blacks and strong contrast. This makes them perfect for dark rooms and movie nights. Couple that with 4K resolution and you’ll get a sharp, vibrant picture with all your favorite shows and movies. The Motion Xcelerator keeps fast action smooth, so it’s great for sports and gaming too. At this price, you’re getting a lot of screen real estate and top-notch features, making it a solid pick for your family room.

Bake Samsung’s innovative Mini-LED tech into a larger display and you get this 75-inch stunner, a worthy contender for your family room or home theater. And at 45% off, it may even leave some money in the budget for popcorn and snacks.
Want to show off your artwork or vacation photos like never before? Don’t care if your TV is the first thing people notice when they walk into the room? The 75-inch is ideal for dedicated home theaters or open floor plans. This size provides an immersive 4K display that’s as big on impact as it is on aesthetics.

The best Black Friday TV deals: 80 inches and up
Here’s proof that we live in a golden age of electronics prices. Ten years ago, I paid this much for my first 4K TV, a 43-inch model that didn’t offer much when it comes to features. This one is four times the size and has active HDR and Alexa built in. Good times!
Craving even more screen real estate? You’re in luck! This gargantuan 98-inch screen is now at its lowest price ever — nearly 50% off. At over 7 feet wide and 4 feet tall, it delivers an immersive viewing experience that’ll make you feel like you’re right on the field during Sunday football.
One hundred inches of screen size may sound impressive, and it is, but it also isn’t for the faint of heart. Getting a TV this big — we’re talking wider than a king-size mattress — into a basement or entertainment room requires quite a bit of muscle. I recently measured out of curiosity, and the largest screen I could even fit down the stairs in my house was 85 inches, so before you buy this behemoth, make sure you can get it in the house.
If you’ve got the room for an 85-inch behemoth, this one’s a no-brainer — especially at 30% off. That’s over $1,300 off the new centerpiece of your living room or entertainment space. You only live once, right?
