These are the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday TV deals

With a pair of next-gen video game consoles now on the market, it’s a very good time to be shopping for a new 4K TV that can best showcase their capabilities. Even if gaming isn’t your thing, Black Friday and Cyber Monday always bring about excellent discounts on sets from many of the top brands like Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony, TCL, and others. Whether you’re ready to spend over $1,000 or are looking for something more on the budget side, odds are you can find something to your liking.

Looking for more than just a TV? Check out our updating list of the best Black Friday deals you can still get right now.

The best TV deals for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 owners

The Xbox Series X and PS5 do much more than just play games in 4K. They support HDR, variable refresh rate (in the case of the X), and can output games at up to 120Hz. This makes games feel smoother and more responsive than ever before. Variable refresh can eliminate unsightly tearing and make any dips in frame rate unnoticeable, and this — along with 120Hz support — is also something you’ll find on the $300 Xbox Series S.

If you plan on getting one of the new consoles (or already have), finding a TV that can get the most from them could be tricky. Generally speaking, you’ll have to buy a very recent set, and you’ll want to ensure that it supports the newer HDMI 2.1 specification. But buying a TV released this year doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank.

I’ve picked out the below TVs as the best options you can get for one of the next-gen gaming consoles in 2020. All of them should take advantage of everything the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5 can do.

LG CX 55-inch OLED

$1,499
$1,899
22% off

LG’s CX-series OLED is basically the ultimate TV for next-gen gaming consoles — and it delivers gorgeous image quality for everything else, too. Available in 48, 55, 65, and 77-inch sizes, the CX is one of those TVs you’ll get enjoyment from every time you power it on.

65-inch: $1,849.99 at Best Buy for My Best Buy members | $1,999.99 at B&H Photo

LG BX 55-inch OLED

$1,197
$1,500
21% off

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Though there are minor differences, this is very nearly the same TV as the CX but for a few hundred dollars less. The BX-series still supports 4K at 120Hz, variable refresh rate, and has all the HDMI 2.1 features you’d want from a brand-new TV in 2020.

Vizio 55-inch OLED

$900
$1,300
31% off

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Vizio is a newcomer to OLED TVs, but it’s using the same beautiful LG panel as everyone else, and pricing it for much less. The Vizio OLED should be a perfect fit for either the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 thanks to its fluid 120Hz 4K gaming capabilities, and the perfect blacks will make your Netflix look great, too.

65-inch Vizio OLED: $1,499.99 at Best Buy
Vizio’s Elevate Dolby Atmos soundbar, designed as a perfect companion for the OLED TV, is also on sale at Best Buy for $700 (normally $1,000). It has rotating speakers that point upward for Atmos content and then rotate forward for regular stereo audio.

Samsung 65-inch Q80T

$1,500
$1,800
17% off

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Samsung continues to make some of the best 4K LCD TVs on the market. The Q80T has gorgeous quantum dot HDR, 120Hz gaming, variable refresh rate, and even packs in speakers that are good enough to rival some soundbars.

Sony X900H

As the maker of the PS5, you’d hope Sony’s TVs would be a good match for the console. The X900H fits that bill, though some of the OLED picks are a better overall package.

TCL 6 Series Roku TV

TCL’s latest 6 Series TV has tremendous picture quality for the price and supports those next-gen gaming features including 4K at 120Hz and variable refresh rate. Plus, you get built-in Roku software, so you can find pretty much any streaming app you need right on the TV itself.

Great 4K TVs for watching movies and TV

If next-gen gaming isn’t in the cards for your new TV (or isn’t a priority), the options open up considerably.

Sony A8H OLED 4K TV

Sony 65-inch A8H OLED TV

$1,800
$2,800
36% off

Prices taken at time of publishing.

Sony’s A8H OLED TV offers a pristine picture with perfect blacks. Sony also tunes the display performance differently than LG, leading to smoother motion when watching sports and high-speed action flicks.

Samsung 70-inch Class 6 Series 4K TV

This is one of those cases where if all you care about is a giant TV, it’s easy to score one for hundreds less than more premium models. At just $529 from Best Buy, Samsung’s 70-inch 6 Series TV gets you 4K resolution, HDR, and a slew of built-in streaming apps — all for under $600, let alone $1,000.

Good 4K TVs on a budget

Not everyone cares about having the absolute best, top-tier picture quality. Thankfully, TVs have gotten to the point where spending $500 or less can still get you a set with a very enjoyable 4K image. Some models still manage to include expanded HDR color in this price category, even if the difference won’t be as apparent as with more premium TVs that can get much brighter.
