You can find very cheap TVs on Black Friday, but getting the best overall deal may mean paying more for specific features.
Black Friday TV deals are happening now, and some of the best ones are for TVs, a Black Friday sale item as traditional as a Thanksgiving turkey.
While it’s tempting to buy on price alone (a TV for under $100 / £100? Yes, please!) There are some things to look for that will let you know you’re getting a really good TV, rather than just a really cheap one. Here are some general TV buying tips to follow as you’re seeking out Black Friday deals.
There’s a big difference between a TV labeled as 4K UHD and one labeled as FHD (full high-definition). Specifically, a 4K UHD TV has 4 times higher resolution than an FHD one, and will be able to display the full range of picture detail provided by services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and others that stream in 4K. Buying a 4K UHD TV also means the set will be future-proof since streaming services are all gradually making a transition to 4K.
All 4K TVs can display HDR10 high dynamic range video, but many inexpensive ones aren’t compatible with Dolby Vision HDR.
