Enjoy a full Sony home entertainment experience for less this Black Friday
One of our TV experts, John Archer, currently has Sony’s new Bravia 9 Mini LED TV in for testing, so you can expect to see a full review of it on the site soon. In the meantime, I wanted to draw attention to the various offers available if you buy the 75in model from John Lewis.
This is a massive, expensive and incredibly bright 4K TV (although it’s cheaper than ever at £3,199), so if you are going to splash out on it, you’re going to want an audio system to do its big-screen pictures justice. The Sony Bravia Theatre Quad and Bravia Theatre Bar 9 (both of which Mr Archer is also in the process of reviewing for us) are both appealing options and there are big savings available if you buy either alongside the Bravia 9.
You can save £500 on the Theatre Quad (currently £1,999) by entering the code HTA9M2 at checkout, while the Theatre Bar 9 (currently £999) will cost you just £699 if you use the code HTA9000.
I’m not sure I’d ever leave the house with that kind of home entertainment setup but if you’re looking to steer your friends and family away from the cinema over the festive period, these offers are well worth a look.

Save £50 on a cheap, compact Freely TV from Panasonic
Freely – the latest service from the company that brought us Freeview – is a wonderful way of enjoying on-demand and live UK TV without the need for an aerial or set-top box. All you need is an internet connection, a TV license and a compatible television.
The Panasonic W60 is one such telly and an affordable one at that. The 43in model, which has a central stand rather than feet on either side, typically costs £349 but has had £50 knocked off its price at AO ahead of Black Friday.
It won’t blow you away with stunning picture quality or premium features, but as a compact 4K TV for a bedroom or kitchen, it’s got everything you need.

The Black Friday discounts NO ONE saw coming
OK, I’m trolling. We all saw discounts on Amazon’s range of Fire TV Sticks coming from a mile away. Hefty price drops on the brand’s media streamers during deals events should probably be added to life’s certainties alongside death and taxes. Still, at least this particular inevitability is a welcome one.
There are four sticks available, all offering the same Fire TV OS experience but with different strengths and weaknesses. I’ve linked to our reviews of each below (except for the new Fire TV Stick HD, which we’re yet to test) and listed their current prices compared with their RRPs.
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (RRP £70; now £45)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (RRP £60; now £35)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick HD (RRP £40; now £28)
- Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite (RRP £35; now £22)
“What’s the point of having a Fire TV Stick when I’ve just bought a fancy new smart TV?” I hear you cry. Well, not every app is available on every smart platform, and Fire TV can help plug the gaps. TCL and Philips’ new Google TVs, for instance, lack the BBC and Channel 4 catch-up apps, which are must-haves for many people. You can also access Amazon Alexa voice commands when using the platform, which is a big draw for some.

Bag a top-notch lifestyle TV at a great price and grab a soundbar discount
Samsung’s The Frame is a TV that doubles up as a piece of artwork and is one of the most popular lifestyle televisions on the market. Its glare-free quantum dot-powered display is available in a wide range of sizes but I’m highlighting the 55in model here as it’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen it at £899 at John Lewis.
That’s £100 less than it costs at Samsung and £250 cheaper than it was a couple of weeks ago. You can also save up to £200 on various Samsung soundbars when buying the TV from John Lewis. Models in the offer include the ultra-immersive Samsung HW-Q990D and slender HW-S800D, both of which are Expert Reviews award winners. If you’re looking for a super-stylish TV and an immersive audio system to go alongside it, this is a Black Friday deal not to miss.

Get one of our favourite soundbars HALF PRICE with LG’s entry-level OLED
The B4 is LG’s cheapest OLED but still a very well-specified TV, with a 120Hz panel, four HDMI 2.1 ports and the latest iteration of the manufacturer’s excellent webOS smart platform. The 65in model represents great value at £1,199 but this deal isn’t about the price on the TV itself.
John Lewis is offering 50% off the LG S95TR soundbar if bought with the 65in B4. The 9.1.5-channel soundbar, subwoofer and rear speaker combo received a five-star rating when we reviewed it and is the perfect companion to LG’s TVs thanks to support for the brand’s proprietary WOW features. Typically costing £1,499, you can grab it for £750 by adding both it and the 65in LG B4 to your John Lewis basket and adding the promo code US95TR50 at checkout.

Black Friday offers on Sky Glass
As part of a Black Friday sale on its broadband, TV, and mobile products, Sky is offering discounts on its much-loved streaming television, Sky Glass.
While we had reservations about its picture quality and interface at launch, Sky Glass was improved enormously by an update last year and ended up as 2024’s best-selling television.
You can currently pick up the 43in model with a subscription to Sky TV and Netflix on a 24-month contract for £33/mth plus an upfront fee of £20. The 55in screen size will set you back £38/mth over the same period. Those prices equate to a saving of over £165.

Our favourite budget Samsung TV is cheaper than ever
If you’re after a Samsung TV and don’t plan on splashing out on one of its pricey OLED models, this is the early Black Friday deal for you. The Samsung Q60D, which uses an innovative Dual LED panel, has hit its lowest-ever price on Amazon.
There are discounts on each of the screen sizes that bring them down to a fraction of their RRP. But as these RRPs are often misleading, let’s look at how the current pricing compares to when we awarded the TV a five-star rating in July’s Samsung Q60D review:
- 43in Samsung Q60D: was £429; now £377
- 50in Samsung Q60D: was £540; now £434
- 55in Samsung Q60D: was £629; now £507
- 65in Samsung 60D: was £859; now £653
- 75in Samsung Q60D: was £1,289; now £993
- 85in Samsung Q60D: was £1,599; now £1,299

A “consummate entry-level OLED” for under a grand? Yes, please!
I want to draw your attention to a review of a TV that’s received a chunky discount for Black Friday. The Philips OLED759 is one of the most affordable OLEDs released this year and the 48in model is currently available for £849 at various retailers, down from its RRP of £1,099.
TV expert John Archer rated it highly, describing it as “one of the most well-featured and flat-out fun gaming displays” he’s come across for under £1,000 in his Philips OLED759 review. High praise indeed from a man who’s been writing about televisions for over 25 years.

Very drops an early Black Friday Sharp TiVo TV treat
While 50in and 55in remain the go-to screen sizes for most homes, larger TVs are growing in popularity and this offer on the Sharp GK4 gets you a whopping great 70in TV for under £500.
It’s not a model we’ve reviewed, so we can’t comment on how it performs, but the specs look great for the money. Three HDMI 2.1 ports, a refresh rate of 60Hz and support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos mean it should deliver on the picture, audio and gaming fronts, while TiVo OS provides access to a wide range of streaming platforms and supports Freely.
Typically priced between £649 and £699, the 70in GK4 is available for just £489, which looks like fantastic value given what it brings to the table.

Become an AO member and get the incredible LG C4 at its lowest-ever price
LG’s C Series OLED has been one of the most sought-after TVs in Black Fridays gone by and I anticipate the 2024 model – explosively named the C4 – to continue that trend.
It’s an incredible television capable of doing justice to any content you throw at it thanks to support for every HDR format and a great range of picture enhancement technologies. In his LG C4 review, Stephen Withers praised its exceptional accuracy, wide viewing angles and impressive reflection handling along with LG’s wonderful webOS smart system.
The C4 is an especially good choice for gamers. All four of its HDMI ports are of the 2.1 specification and support 4K@144Hz (despite the panel’s native resolution being 120Hz). LG’s Game Optimizer mode is one of the best around for elevating your OLED gaming experience and input lag is lightning-fast at just 5ms.
When Steve reviewed the LG C4, the 55in model cost £1,599. It’s come down steadily in price since then and has been hovering around £1,300 over the past couple of months. AO members (it’s free to sign up) can currently pick one up for £1,135, which is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it.

Don’t buy the Fire TV Omni QLED (for now)
The Amazon listing for the brand’s Fire TV Omni QLED television would have you believe that its various screen sizes are available at big discounts. But if you’re considering picking one up, I urge you to hold fire.
Not because the TV isn’t good – it’s a great mid-range QLED model that picked up a five-star rating from Stephen Withers – but because it’s likely to see larger price cuts as we get closer to Black Friday.
The 50in and 55in models cost £380 and £430 during Prime Day in October, which is significantly cheaper than the £480 and £520 they’re currently being sold for.
I’ll be posting details on this page if/when it receives a similar Black Friday price drop, but for now, I’d recommend avoiding it if you don’t want to feel buyer’s remorse come the end of the month.

Save £200 on a five-star Mini LED TV from Hisense
The Hisense U8N received a five-star rating and our Recommended award when we reviewed the 65in model at £1,499. You can currently pick up that screen size for an enticing £1,299 at Amazon in what the retail giant describes as a “Limited Time deal”. Quite how long the deal will last remains to be seen but I expect it to run until at least Cyber Monday (2 December).
Packed with cutting-edge features, able to deliver extremely bright HDR images thanks to its quantum dot-enhanced Mini LED panel and with Freely on board to provide access to live and on-demand UK TV content, it’s a fantastic all-rounder if you’re after a big TV for your living room.
If £1,299 is a bit spendy, you might also wish to consider the 65in Hisense U7N, which has been discounted to £899, but the step-up model is vastly superior where picture quality is concerned.

Black Friday 2024, let’s go!
Hello and welcome to our coverage of this year’s Black Friday TV deals. Tech Editor Andy White reporting for duty to bring you the best bargains the internet has to offer. And what better place to start than with an all-time low price on one of our favourite TVs of the year?
Amazon currently has the 55in Samsung S95D listed for £1,548, which is £150 cheaper than it costs at Samsung and other third-party retailers including Currys and John Lewis.
TV reviewer Stephen Withers said the S95D “redefines what a 4K OLED TV can do in terms of image accuracy, colour gamut and HDR performance” and described it as a “very early contender for TV of the year” back in March. It’s still very much in that conversation eight months on and is an even more appealing option at its cheapest-ever price.
