As a deals editor for TechRadar, I've been extremely impressed with this year's Black Friday TV deals, thanks to record-low prices on a range of displays from Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.

The Black Friday TV deal that I keep going back to and recommending to family and friends is LG's highly-rated 65-inch C3 OLED TV on sale for a record-low price of $1,599.99 (was $2,099.99) at Best Buy. It's an incredible price for a premium 2023 OLED TV, and while the price isn't new, it's still one of the best Black Friday TV deals I've spotted so far.

The LG C3 OLED TV is a successor to our best-rated TV, the LG C2, and includes upgrades such as LG's latest and greatest image processor, the Alpha9 Gen6 chip, which delivers a gorgeous picture with improved brightness and contrast. The LG C3 also packs a new webOS experience and four HDMI 2.1 ports, which gamers will love for next-gen consoles, plus Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos support, and an ultra-thin, sleek design.

While the old adage is that retailers reserve their best Black Friday deals for the official day itself, that is no longer the case. Retailers like Best Buy are releasing some of their best offers now, allowing consumers to spread out their holiday shopping and avoid the madness of Black Friday proper.

In fact, Best Buy has a Black Friday price match guarantee in effect, which means if the price of an item goes lower during the holiday season, the retailer will match it. You can purchase today's fantastic deal on the LG C3 OLED without worrying if the TV will be discounted further at the official Best Buy Black Friday sale.

Samsung 55-inch S90C Smart UHD 4K OLED TV: was $1,899.99 now $1,299.99 at Samsung
TechRadar's best-rated OLED TV:
The S90C OLED is the slightly more budget-friendly cousin to the S95C, and it's now on sale for a record-low price of $1,299.99 at Samsung's Black Friday sale. Don't be mistaken in thinking this is the inferior set, however, as it's still one of the best OLEDs you can buy right now. Our Samsung S90C review awarded this one five stars out of five, praising its gorgeous picture and gaming features. It's not as bright as the 95C, and its sound is a little weaker also, but it's a fantastic choice in its own right that anyone would be happy to have in their living room.
