This is the best deal on a 65in OLED TV we’ve seen this Black Friday: the 2024 LG B4 is on sale at just £1,099 at Amazon. That’s a £400 saving on its typical price, and way down from its original RRP of £1,699.99. The TV offers unbeatable OLED picture quality at an affordable price, while the selection of HDMI ports and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate at 4K makes it great for gaming as well as movies.

(Sony)

Score big with more than 30 per cent off this tried, tested and approved Sony TV. Tech expert David Phelan reviewed this model in his round-up of the best TVs of 2024, naming it the best OLED 4K TV. In particular, he was impressed with the cool audio system and strong sounds of the cinema mode. “The contrast and strong, deep black colours, which typify OLED, look especially good here, allowing rich brightness as well as subtle shadows,” he wrote.

(Argos)

The latest model in the C series of LG TVs gets a £400 discount in the Currys Black Friday sale. Launched earlier this year, the LG C4 is an impressive 4K display with self-lit OLED pixels capable of perfectly dark blacks, bright highlights and rich colour reproduction. In our round-up of the best 4K TVs, we said the LG C4 “features pin-sharp picture and excellent brightness levels that look realistic and persuasive.”

(Panasonic)

Dubbed the best for picture quality in our guide to top 4K TVs, this Panasonic model has been reduced by £200 at John Lewis. In their review, our tester said of this model: “Part of the success of this TV is down to the processor, which is smart enough to know when you’re watching sport, for instance, and can adjust both the picture and sound accordingly.” With the 50in version now just shy of £600, now is the time to invest.

The 40in version of the Amazon Fire TV 2-series is great value if you want an affordable smart TV and you’re happy with the slightly lower 1080p resolution, which at this display size is barely noticeable anyway. The Amazon Fire TV interface is among the best around, the TV comes with a voice remote and it has the full roster of streaming services built in.

(Hisense)

The Hisense A4 is one of the cheapest TVs you can get from a reputable brand, and with an extra £120 it’s unbeatable value. The basic 720p resolution display will look fuzzy if you’re used to watching in 4K, but it offers decent enough quality for the price. Compatible with streaming apps and compact at 32in, it makes a great TV for a kitchen or bedroom.
