It’s officially the best time of year to buy a TV. And you don’t even have to wake up at 2 a.m., ready to throw fists in a Walmart or Best Buy. While Black Friday proper — which falls on Nov. 28 in 2025 — will likely produce even more unmatched deals, there’s plenty of impressive price drops already worth grabbing early. Whether you’re looking to upgrade to a larger screen or swap your LED model for a QLED model, this is the time.
As Mashable’s TV expert Leah Stodart noted last year, QLED TVs have officially gone from swanky to accessible. That means it’s easier than ever for the average household to make the jump to a QLED 4K TV at a budget-friendly price — particularly during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And you will certainly notice the difference in quality.
Now that Amazon and Best Buy have officially kicked off their Black Friday sales, we’re seeing several 2025 Hisense, TCL, Samsung, and Amazon Fire TV models already down to record-low prices, so feel free to shop ahead of the rush. TVs are one of the biggest purchases this time of year and they do tend to sell out. In other words, if you see a model with the specs you want at a price you like, grab it ASAP. Read on for a rundown of our top picks.

Best early Black Friday 50-inch TV deal
$199.99
at Best Buy
$329.99
Save $130
Why we like it
This deal really highlights why we love the Hisense TV brand so much: you can get a QLED 4K TV for under $200. The QD6 model is a well-rounded budget TV that utilizes the Fire TV platform and features built-in Alexa, as well as Dolby Vision HDR and DTS Virtual X audio for better picture quality and crisper sound. It won’t wow you quite like a premium QLED would, but you’ll still notice a difference from the quantum dots — particularly when watching in the daytime. This 50-inch model is great for smaller living rooms, bedrooms, and apartments and at $199.99, its beating its Prime Day price by nearly $40 at Best Buy. It’s currently sold out at Amazon.

Best early Black Friday 65-inch TV deal

$2,499.99
Save $1,600.00
Why we like it
If you’re not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. And our top pick for most people is TCL’s QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV, thanks to its impressive brightness, stellar picture quality, contrast, shadow detail, and budget-conscious pricing. “While this intensity of brightness makes the QM8K a solid choice for watching TV in daylight, its more-precise-than-usual backlights keep details crisp in a dark room. The new anti-halo effect is an effective fix for some of the blooming its predecessor experienced,” Mashable’s Leah Stodart notes. It’s typically a $2,500 TV, but this Black Friday deal at Best Buy has dropped the cost of the 65-inch model down below $900. Amazon has the same model listed for $2 less, but as it comes from a third-party seller, we’re more inclined to go with Best Buy.
Best early Black Friday 75-inch+ TV deal
$698
at Walmart
$999.99
Save $301.99
Why we like it
Walmart’s excellent deal on the TCL QM6K TV, which our friends at (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the “best TV under $1,000 in 2025,” is currently unmatched at Amazon or Best Buy. It checks all the boxes you want in a new TV: impressive picture quality with vibrant colors, smooth streaming interface (via Google TV), a high refresh rate for gaming (144Hz), and a killer price tag. At $698, this Black Friday deal not only beats its Prime Day price by more than $50, but it marks a new record-low. It’s not quite as impressive as its QM8K sibling, but the QM6K is “a stellar mini LED TV for the low-to-mid-tier price range,” as our team pointed out in our roundup of the best TVs for 2025.
