U.S. Record-Low Black Friday TV Prices: What’s Really on Offer?
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your home entertainment, Black Friday 2025 might just be it. This year, retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart have rolled out a wave of jaw-dropping TV deals, slashing prices on everything from compact bedroom screens to massive, statement-making displays. According to Mashable, many of these deals have already reached record lows—some even beating Prime Day prices by substantial margins.
Gone are the days of braving crowded stores at dawn. With most deals available online, shoppers can score a new TV from the comfort of their couch—and, in some cases, have it delivered before Cyber Weekend even kicks off. But with popular models selling out fast, the pressure is on to act quickly.
Standout Deals: From Budget-Friendly to Luxury
Let’s break down the highlights. For those seeking an affordable upgrade, the Amazon Fire TV 2-Series mini TV offers all the essentials at an almost unbelievable $99.99. It’s perfect for smaller spaces, running the Fire TV OS and including an Alexa voice remote. At this price point, it’s not about winning awards—it’s about getting solid functionality without breaking the bank.
Moving up in size, the Hisense QD6 50-inch QLED 4K TV is a prime choice for budget-conscious buyers. Priced at just $199.99 at Best Buy, it delivers quantum dot technology and Dolby Vision HDR, making daytime viewing crisper and more vibrant. While it’s not a premium QLED, the difference in picture quality is noticeable—especially for the price.
The sweet spot for most households, though, is the 65-inch category. The TCL QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV stands out thanks to its impressive brightness, detailed contrast, and anti-halo technology, which minimizes blooming. Typically retailing for $2,500, it’s now available for under $900 at Best Buy and Amazon. As noted by Mashable’s Leah Stodart, the QM8K is a top choice for both daylight viewing and dark-room movie nights.
Looking for something even larger? Walmart’s deal on the TCL QM6K 75-inch Mini LED QLED 4K TV is making headlines. At $698, it’s been dubbed by CNET as the “best TV under $1,000 in 2025,” offering vibrant colors, a smooth Google TV interface, and a high 144Hz refresh rate for gaming. While it doesn’t quite match the QM8K’s specs, the QM6K is an outstanding option for those wanting big-screen impact without the luxury price tag.
The Frame: Where Art Meets Technology
One of the most talked-about models this year is Samsung’s The Frame. The 2025 edition has solidified its reputation as the go-to art TV, blending seamlessly into home decor thanks to its ultra-thin profile and matte, anti-glare display. While other OLEDs may offer marginally better picture quality, The Frame brings a unique aesthetic that’s tough to replicate. This Black Friday, deals on The Frame have made it more accessible than ever, with discounts up to $1,000 on select sizes and models.
For those seeking an even bigger statement, Hisense’s Canvas QLED series and Samsung’s The Frame Pro models are also seeing substantial markdowns, with savings as high as $1,202 on certain configurations.
OLED, Mini LED, and More: What Makes These Deals Special?
OLED technology remains the gold standard for many enthusiasts, and Black Friday 2025 isn’t short on options. The LG C5 is widely regarded as the best OLED TV available, but its Black Friday price ($1,399.99 for the 65-inch) isn’t a true record low—it’s been available at that price since October, according to price tracking site Camelcamelcamel.
Instead, the Samsung S95F OLED 65-inch stands out with a genuine $1,000 discount and a bonus $100 Best Buy gift card. Its matte finish is especially effective in bright rooms, making it a top pick for environments with lots of ambient light.
For those who want the latest display innovations, Mini LED and QLED TVs from TCL, Hisense, and Samsung offer dazzling brightness, improved contrast, and refined color reproduction. Models like the TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 Mini LED have dropped by up to $1,799, making high-end technology more attainable than ever.
Why Inventory Moves Fast—and How to Shop Smart
With so many deals live and inventory moving quickly, timing is everything. Retailers are tagging items as “Black Friday deal” ahead of the official holiday, and once stock runs out at one store, it’s not guaranteed to reappear elsewhere. Experts recommend buying as soon as you spot a deal that fits your needs, rather than waiting for prices to drop further. The risk? You might miss out entirely if a popular model sells out.
Recycling your old TV is easier than ever, with Best Buy offering free recycling at most locations. This makes upgrading a little greener, reducing the environmental footprint of your new purchase.
Comprehensive Deal Roundup: Best Buys Across All Sizes
The variety of deals is staggering. At Best Buy, options range from the Toshiba 43-inch C350 4K TV at $129.99 (down $170), up to the Sony 98-inch Bravia 5 Mini LED QLED 4K TV at $3,999.99 (down $2,000). Walmart and Amazon also feature aggressive pricing, with LG, Hisense, and Samsung models in every size bracket seeing significant markdowns.
Whether you’re shopping for a 43-inch starter set or a 100-inch cinematic centerpiece, Black Friday 2025 is setting a new standard for value in the TV market. Even specialty models like Amazon’s Omni QLED Fire TVs and Roku’s Pro Series Mini LED are seeing discounts of up to $700.
But not all “sale” prices are created equal. Some, like the LG C5 OLED at Best Buy, may look impressive until you check price history. Others, like the Samsung S95F, offer truly new lows and added incentives.
Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter at Mashable, and Christina Buff, freelance writer, have been tracking these deals for years. Their advice? Focus on what fits your space and usage. With streaming, gaming, and smart home integration becoming standard, choose a model that supports your lifestyle—not just the biggest screen you can afford.
Black Friday 2025’s TV deals showcase both the evolution of home tech and the power of competitive retail. The sheer range—from budget basics to cutting-edge art TVs—means there’s an option for nearly every household and every taste. For shoppers, the challenge is navigating the hype and striking quickly when the right deal appears. This year, the market’s transparency and depth of discounts mark a new chapter in how we buy—and enjoy—our home screens.
