Save $55 - The cheapest TV at Amazon is back down under $80 - huzzah! It has shown up for a bit less during previous sales, and may end up hitting a new record low during Black Friday. But, if you just need a budget way to play your console or watch some shows in bed, this model is worth looking at.

Amazon Fire 2-series 32-inch | $199.99 $99.99 at Amazon
Save $100 - Amazon's 32-inch TV is one that should be under $100 during Black Friday, and it has already dropped back to lowest price territory. It has popped up for $89.99 this year for Prime Day, so that's an indication of what could happen at the end of the month.

❌ You want to play PS5 or Xbox Series X

Save $500 - You can trade size for specs by opting for this LG OLED TV over the 55-inch B4, as the 48-inch is down to the same price. Walmart did briefly beat this record low by $50, but it was so brief that it potentially feels like a one off.

Hisense U6N 55-inch | $599.99 $347.99 at Amazon
Save $152 - This 55-inch screen just dropped below $350, and it's a bit of a steal for a mini LED panel of this size. It often likes to shoot back up to around $500, and this feels like the price we'll see during Black Friday.

Save $600 - For under a grand, you can now grab LG's more approachable OLED TV, following months of it teasing with a $1,100 price tag. This should be pretty much the price tag we'll see during Black Friday, but surprises can happen.

✅You’re looking for a 2024 TV
✅You care about contrast and colors

Don't buy it if:

✅You need a big living room screen
✅You'd rather not use OLED

Don't buy it if:

Samsung S90C 65-inch | $1,997.99 $1,199.96 at Amazon
Save $998.03 - In a weird move, this 65-inch version of the S90C is $100 cheaper than the 55-inch model. It was sitting under $1,000 for a bit, but hard to tell whether that last price was a mistake or just a glimpse at things to come.
