4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals 2022: what to expect this year

4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals are the perfect, specific TV sale scene to pay close attention to if you're looking to upgrade your display and put that gaming-0first specification at the top of the desire list. Because it is a specific feature, concentrating on it is also a superb way to narrow your search immediately and succinctly. 

The reason that these screens are in higher demand than ever is that the higher 120Hz refresh rate means console users - and PC-with-TV users - can now get even faster and smoother images from their preferred platforms, and get that one a big screen. And now we're another year on, there are more and more games (though not loads) that offer that super-fast frame rates. This kind of TV will be a core tech feature of the wider Black Friday gaming deals this year, for sure. Especially as more have entered the market, and more prices are falling.

Thus, the key feature to look out for in this year's 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals is going to be an HDMI 2.1 connection as this is the means through which screens can provide that higher rate, allowing for more high-speed bandwidth between your device and the display.

The bad news is that TVs with this feature are still, broadly speaking, at the upper end of the spectrum in terms of quality, and price tag. However, the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals are the perfect way to negate such premiums, and potentially get lowest ever prices on new TVs, and see the prices of slightly older ones come crashing down.

And just before we dig in, here are some of the latest lowest prices on some of our favourites.

Black Friday 4K 120Hz TV deals FAQs

When will 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals start?

The big day this year will be Friday, November 25; you can mark it on the calendar now. We always know this anyway as it's the Friday after Thanksgiving. However, while that's the day itself, the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals will start way earlier than that date itself - it'll be wise to be on the lookout from late October onwards, as retailers will always try and lengthen their deal periods to make early sales.

Where will the best 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals be?

In terms of keeping track of the sales, we think one of the best places to track the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals will be right here on this page.

4K 120Hz Black Friday TV deals: What do we expect

In terms of particular 4K 120Hz Black Friday TV deals, some of the most exciting possible offerings come from what we saw last month in the  Prime Day event. The brand-new Samsung S95B and Sony A95K QD-OLED TVs, to be precise. These have all the features you'd need and are probably the best of 2022's 120Hz 4K TVs. We saw them both drop to lowest-ever prices during that aforementioned sale and we expect to see that again this winter. In their 55-inch forms, the S95B saw $600 taken off its price to drop to $1,597.99 and the Sony A95K has seen $201 taken off. As a result, and as these prices have stayed at these reduced levels, we'd expect one more nudge down during the sales.

You can also guarantee that there are going to be some exquisite prices on the LG C1 and G1 screens. For reference, last year, the C1 (55-inch) saw a massive drop of $200 for 2021's Black Friday PS5 and Xbox Series X TV deals, while the G1 in all size variants saw a similar price cut in October 2021 that lasted right through the sales period. We'd expect this year's C2 and G2 TVs to receive the same treatment - and both of these are already at record-low prices.

If you're not looking so high up the spectrum though, then something like the Samsung QN85A might be worth looking at - and, by extension, its 2022 replacement, the QN85B. The QN85A saw about $600 taken off its price in last year's 4K 120Hz Black Friday TV deals and the resulting price has never been beaten (for the 55-inch model). This is a crazy-good level of deals and could mean the 'B' variant is in for the same treatment.

Or you could try the Sony X80J which is Sony's entry-level 120Hz 4K model from 2021. This too saw a record-low price in last year's sales, one which took about $450 off the list price (for the 65-inch model). With Sony's more premium 120Hz TVs being a lot more premium, if you know what I mean, looking a little further down the spectrum at such models is a great choice.

Should you wait for the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals?

With October rapidly turning into November now, we think the default position to now wait for the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals to start before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Given we are so close to the deals and sales beginning properly, it feels mighty risky going for something right now - even if it is a great price.

We just know by now, as a fact, that the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals will cut prices deeper and bring greater discounts than any other time of the year so it really is best to hold fire. And for things so premium and big-ticket such as 4K 120Hz TVs, the winter sales are also just the best time of year to buy them. Categorically.

The silver lining is that this doesn't necessarily mean you'll have to wait right until the very end of November, and the big day itself. You will often find retailers and manufacturers going early in November with their deals, spreading them over a longer period of time nowadays, so your time to strike could come early. And with 4K 120Hz TVs likely to be hot spicy meatballs this year - and part of the whole TV market, one that dominates Black Friday - you may well find a good deal before Blackest of Fridays. Even better would be to find a price that is Black Friday guaranteed and the retailer will refund you any difference should the price drop further (Best Buy in particular has been known to offer this).

Do 4K 120Hz TV prices drop on Black Friday?

Not only do we see almost all TV prices drop during Black Friday (slight exaggeration but you know what I mean), we're going to see some of them - like the 4K 120Hz beasts - drop the hardest. These are going to be some of the best price drops going as it's a spec that's rapidly become the norm over the past year, and those most premium TVs that throw in loads of other bells and whistles will drop the hardest.

We're expecting to see big price drops on 4K 120Hz TVs as we've already seen some record lows during recent sales events. The LG C1 in its 65-inch form fell to a record low during October, and we've also seen the brand-new QD-OLED TVs from Samsung and Sony drop and drop again in recent weeks. Even more mid-range 120Hz TVs drop and offer great value like the LG A2 OLED TV.
