Black Friday is always a great time to get a brand new TV and this year's no different, with exciting deals showing up across the highly-rated Samsung range. One of the most tempting Black Friday TV deals I've seen so far is a great discount for its best-value Q80C. 

The new QLED 4K TV was only released in June – we're still polishing up our review, which will go live on the site very soon – but the 65-inch has already been slashed from $1,399.99 to as low as $997.99 at Amazon in the US. In the UK, you can get the 55-inch Q80C for an incredible £753 at Amazon.

Samsung's QLED 4K TV may have been easily overlooked because of all the great mini-LED and QD-OLED sets launched this year, but at this record low price, it's hard to ignore. The Q80C has been steadily dropping in price since launching earlier this year but this is the lowest we've seen it so far. It's not clear whether further price cuts will be come in the next week so we wouldn't delay jumping on this saving.

Samsung Q80C 55-inch QLED 4K TV: £789

Samsung Q80C 55-inch QLED 4K TV: was £789 now £753 at Amazon
55 inches is a popular size in the UK, and a TV of this quality for this price is just fantastic. It's a stunning TV with HDR10+, Dolby Atmos and a 120Hz refresh rate for gaming and natural motion in movies. You're getting outstanding 4K sharpness and detail, and plenty of brightness for daytime sports viewing.  

Other size: £1,049 for 65 inches at Amazon

While you may have expected the Q80C to be cheaper based on the fact that Samsung did not use its flagship screen technologies such as mini-LED or QD-OLED, instead opting for a QLED display with directly full array backlight, it was still fairly premium-priced when it launched. On the specs front, it has a lot of features such as Dolby Atmos, 120Hz refresh rate and HDR 10+ that are often shared with the best TVs that make it great value.       

Our review is set to launch soon but to give you an idea how the picture quality performed, we said it "proves to be excellent, with its contrast, color, brightness and sharpness falling much less short of the efforts of Samsung’s more premium TVs than expected". If that's not enough to get your attention, then the four v2.1 HDMI ports, Neural Quantum Processor 4K image engine, and Samsung’s Q Symphony technology to make it work better with Samsung soundbars all definitely will. 

As a mid-range TV balancing performance and price, other Black Friday deals are going to have a tough time beating this.

Samsung 55-inch S90C Smart UHD 4K OLED TV:$1,899.99 $1,299.99 at Samsung

Samsung 55-inch S90C Smart UHD 4K OLED TV: was $1,899.99 now $1,299.99 at Samsung
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.

Samsung 55-inch Neo QLED QN85C: £1,299£898 at Currys

Samsung 55-inch Neo QLED QN85C: was £1,299 now £898 at Currys
The Samsung QN85C is the entry level Neo QLED TV (mini-LED) in Samsung's' 2023 range, brining bright mini-LED technology for less. Featuring 'infinite' contrast and four HDMI 2.1 ports, the QN85C is a fantastic choice for both movies and gaming. There's a lot of budget mini-LED competition around, but for under £900, this is a serious contender.
