The Black Friday TV deals actually worth your money

Black Friday is one the best times of the year to buy a new TV, but trying to sort through the web’s barrage of so-called discounts can be exhausting. To help you separate the good sets from the junk, we’ve rounded up the best Black Friday TV deals we could find from Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others. Though we don’t formally review TVs at Engadget, we’ve thoroughly researched user reviews and testing from other sites we trust to ensure our list only includes TVs you’ll be happy to own years down the road. And if you’ve already got a TV you like, we’ve also included a few Black Friday 2023 deals on media streamers and soundbars we recommend.A 55-inch model of Samsung’s S90C OLED TV is available for $1,298 at Amazon, Walmart and B&H. Samsung itself has it for $2 more. This has been the S90C’s price for the last several weeks but, outside of a brief drop to $1,098 at B&H earlier this month, it matches the lowest rate we’ve tracked. The S90C has received near-universal praise for its QD-OLED panel, which uses a layer of quantum dots to boost its peak brightness and color saturation while retaining the high contrast and deep black tones of a typical OLED display. Put another way, it looks great, and it should hold up better than most OLED TVs in a bright room. It’s also an ideal gaming TV, as it has four HDMI 2.1 ports that support up to a 144Hz refresh rate in 4K (on PCs). The main downside is that, like all Samsung TVs, it doesn’t support the popular Dolby Vision HDR format.
