This 55-inch OLED TV for $600 is the best Black Friday TV deal of 2024
If you’ve ever shopped for an OLED TV, you’ve probably been blown away by the color — and devastated by the price. Good news: The new Sansui S55VOUG 55-inch OLED TV is down to just $600, by far the lowest price I’ve seen for a model of that size. Consequently, I consider it the best of the pretty great Black Friday TV deals available this year. To put that in perspective, the 55-inch LG evo C4 Series is currently selling for $1,200. So don’t be surprised if this upstart rival sells out soon.
Sansui? I know; you probably don’t recognize the name. But as I recently detailed in my battle of the OLEDs story, it stood up quite well against the competition. Remember when you’d never heard of Hisense or TCL? They’re approaching household-name status and Sansui might be the next to do likewise.
From the sounds-too-good-to-be-true files, Sansui’s new budget OLED is even more affordable for Black Friday. Come for the vibrant color, stay for the karaoke mode!

Some key things to know about this TV: Sansui provides an actual printed instruction manual, one that’s clear and comprehensive (a rarity in modern consumer electronics). You also get a backlit remote, which I love (and wish more TV makers would offer).
I especially like the built-in karaoke feature, which leverages that remote as a microphone while you sing along to tunes on YouTube.
Of course, most of all I like the dazzling color. Is it as bright and perfectly balanced as that of LG and Sony OLEDs? Maybe not quite, but it’s definitely a huge leap over most LED-backlit LCD TVs.
Alas, the built-in speakers aren’t great, especially at higher volumes, so consider adding a soundbar to your shopping cart. (As it happens, my favorite new soundbar is also on sale for Black Friday.)
Good news for novices: This TV comes with a printed setup guide that’s actually informative and useful. And the remote is backlit, something you don’t often see — even in TVs costing twice as much.
