5 of the best Black Friday TV deals right now
1. LG UN7100 55-inch 4K HDR Smart TV | £749 £429 at Very (save £320 or 42%)
A 42 per cent discount on this 55-inch Ultra HD television from LG, which comes with a built-in smart streaming platform, is nothing to sneeze at. 4K is more popular than ever with many of the streaming services having content in the format ready to watch, so to find one at this size for this price is a fantastic offer. Best of all, if you want to boost this TV’s sound, you can pick up the Samsung S60T or Samsung S61T soundbar for £299 each – that’s £100 less than usual.
2. Samsung QEQ70T 55-inch QLED 4K Smart TV | £1,299 £899 £799 at Very (save £500)
QLED technology is one of the best ways to watch TV in the greatest detail by quite some way – it really is a revelation when you first see one in action. So, of course, finding a TV equipped with it is not cheap, and seeing one for under £1000 does not happen as often as we would like. But here’s one that comes in at £799. It is a great set – especially for the price. If you want 4K content in ultra-crisp definition and some of the richest and vibrant colours you have seen, this is a must-buy TV – and make sure you watch something like Blue Planet 2 when you get it, it is truly mesmerising.
3. Samsung 55In UE55TU7020KXXU Smart 4K UHD HDR LED Freeview TV | £479 £399 at Argos (save £80)
While not a QLED, if you are looking to enter the 4K world for the first time then you can do far worse than this deal. Samsung are one of the leading brands in TV’s and their 4K and HDR is a delight to look at. Finding one above 50 inches for under £400 does not happy frequently so if this one has taken your eye then our advice is to grab it when you can.
4. Philips PUS8555 50-inch Smart 4K TV with Google Assistant | £549 £449 at Currys PC World (save £100 or 18%)
Want a TV you can talk to? Well, here is one with a voice assistant! This means the 50PUS8555 can be used completely hands-free and be synced up with other devices like light bulbs – your TV can control your lights, the future is here. There are other TVs that can do this, but it is the price of this one that has really caught our eye – £100 off is a great saving for a great TV.
5. LG 65UN81006LB 65-Inch UHD 4K TV | £999.99 £649 from Very (save £354.99 or 35%)
The £350 that has been knocked off the 65-inch LG 65UN81006LB by Amazon is a brilliant reduction. Plus, this LG TV comes with something special too – a magic remote! And while no, you can’t pull a rabbit out of it, it does mean that you can talk to it and get it to do all kinds of things such as play, pause, adjust the volume and so on. A popular set this, it was on Amazon too but got snapped up so it may not last on Very for long.
6. Panasonic TX-55HZ980B 55-inch Smart 4K OLED TV | £1,699 £1,149 from Currys PC World (save £550 or 32%)
A pricier TV, but one that is well worth considering if you are happy to spend into the four figures. The hefty £550 that has been knocked off this model is one of the best TV deals we have seen in the recent sales. Not only is it 4K, but it is an OLED (which means graphic will look even better) with Dolby Atmos, a powerful surround sound technology that will knock your socks off if you stick on an action movie.
7. Sony Bravia KD55A85BU 55″ Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED TV with Google Assistant | £1,699 £1,299 from Currys PC World (save £400)
Another pricey model, but one that is well worth it if your budget stretches that far. Sony is another brand that really knows what its doing with TVs. This one also sports the OLED technology that makes a picture shine brighter than it ever has before. This truly is a spectacular telly and to see it with £400 knocked off it is quite something.
How to pick the right TV this Cyber Monday
Picture quality ranks from 8K to 4K/Ultra HD, Full HD, HD ready and then standard definition. If we have to suggest which you should aim for, we suggest 4K since it’s fast becoming the established standard in affordable as well as higher-range TVs. Since 8K TVs start in the thousands, these might be beyond your budget (although if you’re interested, the Samsung QE55Q700 55-inch 8K TV is currently marked down from £1,999 to £1,499 at Currys PC World).
If you see QLED mentioned in a TV’s specs, that’s a sign that the screen will be particularly bright; OLED means it will have better contrast and will use less power.
If you’re weighing up between going up in picture quality or screen size, we suggest you opt for the former. Too many people try and take the ‘home cinema’ idea too literally, and buy TVs that dominate the room and whose picture quality can’t be enjoyed at the right distance. Also, keep in mind that television screen sizes are measured diagonally, not horizontally, before you start getting busy with your measuring tape.
Features definitely worth looking out for include a built-in streaming platform for Netflix, iPlayer, Now TV et al, and a built-in voice assistant like Alexa, Google Assistant or Samsung’s Bixby.
