When will Black Friday QLED TV deals begin?
Black Friday officially kicks off on November 26 this year. That's when we expect the biggest blockbuster discounts to hit the shelves, but if you're after a saving a little sooner there's plenty of good news.
In recent years we've been seeing retailers offering early Black Friday QLED TV deals. Last year, this elongated sales period was designed by stores to take advantage of the boom in online retail and was potentially necessary for holiday shoppers due to the shipping delays. However, the period was so successful that we do expect earlier offers to start filtering through soon.
Early Black Friday QLED TV deals available now
As predicted, several retailers have already launched early Black Friday QLED TV deals over the last couple of weeks. However, we'd recommend paying closest attention to Best Buy. It is currently running a Black Friday price guarantee on many of its QLED TV offers, which means My Best Buy Rewards members can register their products and should the price drop further during the holiday sales the retailer will refund the difference.
Samsung 55-inch Q70A QLED TV | $999.99 $849.99 at Best Buy
Save $150 - This is a brand new record low price on the 55-inch Q70A QLED TV, so you're already getting a fantastic deal on a premium Samsung display. However, Best Buy is also offering its price guarantee on this model so you're covered against further discounts as well.
Samsung 65-inch Q80A QLED TV | $1,399 $1,199.99 at Best Buy
Save $200 - Best Buy is also offering a record low price on the more premium Q80A model. The 65-inch display is now down to $1,199.99 - a fantastic price for the 120Hz panel. Plus, you're getting Best Buy's Black Friday price guarantee here as well.
Samsung 55-inch QN90A Neo QLED TV | $1,599.99 $1,299.99 at Best Buy
Save $300 - The Neo QLED QN90A model has also tumbled to a record low price with Best Buy's Black Friday price guarantee this week. That's excellent news for anyone after a luxury panel, especially considering you're saving a massive $300 here.
Black Friday QLED TV deals: what to expect
There are a few displays that we're going to be looking particularly closely at during 2021's Black Friday QLED TV deals. From new releases that are already seeing early discounts to older models that are primed for some hefty reductions, it's likely we'll see a healthy range of prices on the shelves come November.
The Samsung Q70T, one of our top QLED models, dropped down to $797 for a 55-inch display in last year's offers, a price that's been spotted only once in 2021, way back in January. You'll usually find the premium panel available for $899 in sale events, $100 off the $999 MSRP. Considering this will have spend a good chunk of time on the market by the time this year's Black Friday QLED TV deals roll around, we're expecting a larger discount in 2021, potentially flashing down to $699 before returning to $797 later on in the sale.
If you're after something a little pricier, the Samsung QN95 / QN90A has already taken part in a few major sales in 2021, and is sure to appear as a Black Friday Samsung TV deal. Both the 50-inch and 55-inch models hit new record low prices in the summer's Prime Day sale, with the former down to $1,297 (was $1,499), and the latter sitting at $1,497.99 in June (was $1,799). These were particularly strong prices, though everyday sales have dropped these displays back down to $1,397 / $1,599 respectively since then. We're expecting a return to these record low prices in Black Friday QLED TV deals 2021, though an additional $100 off wouldn't be too surprising either.
Both of these top models are little expensive, so if you're looking at the more affordable ranges from Hisense and TLC it's worth noting that there will still likely be some excellent offers further down the price scale as well.
The Hisense U6G has only been on the shelves for a few months now, but it's already seen a handful of smaller discounts. These models have seen between $20 - $150 off (depending on size) over the summer of 2021 - prices we expect to be slightly improved upon in November. That means you'll likely be able to find a 50-inch model for around $459, 55-inch for $529, and 65-inch for $659.
TV deals in general make up a massive part of Black Friday's offerings. Every year we see some of the biggest discounts of the weekend on some of the best gaming TV brands, with many waiting months to upgrade their TV with a hefty discount. That means Black Friday QLED TV deals can get pretty competitive, with some of the best prices often disappearing after just a couple of hours. Sure, we do often see these flash deals replaced with only slightly smaller discounts but it still pays to get in there early.

Is it worth buying a QLED TV on Black Friday?
Black Friday is well known for its TV deals; they're some of the most popular offers in November and many put off picking up a new display throughout the year in preparation for holiday discounts.
That's because we tend to see some of the lowest prices of the year during this weekend, as brands plan to release the next iteration in the following months. Retailers are looking to clear this stock before the next annual refresh hits in 2022, so this year's models (and a few of last year's) will be seeing some excellent prices come November.
Black Friday QLED TV deals, then, are definitely worth a look if you're looking to upgrade beyond standard 4K but don't want to spend four figures on a premium OLED model.
