You would be forgiven for thinking that Black Friday has already been and gone, seeing as so many retailers started their Black Friday sales right at the start of the month.

In fact, though, the real Black Friday is today, 28th November.

Even though we publish more deals content and buying advice than normal during Black Friday, our strict editorial standards remain steadfast. That means, outside of very special exceptions that we’ll flag, every deal will be on a product we’ve fully tested and have price checked to make sure it’s worth your time and money.

On the off chance you don’t find a deal you like, or would like some personal buying advice from our team of experts, you can ask in our Live Q&A, which we’ll be monitoring throughout the event.

The best TV I've ever tested is the cheapest it's ever been

Tom here. In all my years of reviewing TVs (18 and counting), I've never tested a better model than this year's Sony Bravia 8 II.

It takes everything I love about the preceding A95L (a TV I love so much, I own one), and takes things up a notch.

The newer-gen QD-OLED panel is brighter, which makes for even better contrast, shadow detail is even better than before, and a new version of Sony's picture processing gently sharpens foreground elements to create an image with amazing depth.

It's a stone-cold stunner, and the TV I recommend to anyone with a large budget and a penchant for the very best picture quality.

And it's massively discounted for Black Friday, with the 55-inch model now available for £1699 at Richer Sounds, and the 65-inch version for £1999 at Richer Sounds.

Lowest-ever price: £1699
The Sony Bravia 8 II is a truly exceptional performer and a real all-rounder. It combines stunning brightness, colour vibrancy and sharpness with balance and naturalism, and it performs brilliantly right out of the box. Add excellent sound (by TV standards), an app-packed operating system and very good gaming specs, and you've got an awesome package.

Sony Bravia 8 II 65-inch: was £2,999 now £1,999 at Richer Sounds

Lowest-ever price: £1999
The 65-inch version of the Bravia 8 II performs just like the 55-inch model, but with a small loss of sharpness (due to the same number of pixels being stretched over a larger area) and a fairly big increase in cinematic epicness. It also sounds even better, thanks to the larger size. If you're umming and ahing over whether to go for the 55- or 65-inch model, I recommend going for the bigger one.

Two super-cheap 50-inch TV deals to choose between

You might be surprised to learn that Amazon's original Omni QLED TVs are (with the exception of the 43-inch model) really very good for the money.

The 50-inch version is the pick of the bunch and, as it's now been replaced by a new version, it's now available for a ridiculously low price of £300 at Amazon.

The launch price was £650, and the previous lowest-ever price was £360, so this is an exceptional deal for what is a really balanced and likeable TV that's easy to use and features every streaming app you're ever likely to need.

Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED 50 inches
Five stars
Save £350
Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED 50 inches: was £650 now £300 at Amazon

Lowest-ever price: £300
At full price, the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED is a really good TV. With this discount, it's an utter bargain. It combines QLED technology with capable local dimming and considered tuning to produce a surprisingly balanced and cinematic picture. It also supports all HDR formats, has surprisingly good gaming specs and, of course, features the app-packed Fire OS smart platform.

If your budget is absolutely limited to £300, you can't go wrong with the Omni QLED, but if you can stretch it just a bit, there's an even better deal available.

The 50-inch TCL C6KS is a 2025 What Hi-Fi? Awards winner, and it can now be picked up for a record-low £349 at Amazon.

TCL 50C6KS 2025 Mini LED TV: was £549 now £349 at Amazon

Lowest-ever price: £349
The 50-inch TCL C6KS would have been strong value at its £549 launch price, so when we reviewed it at £419, we discovered an exceptional TV for the money. So exceptional, in fact, that we gave it an Award! And now you can buy it for even less.

The TCL is a newer and more technically advanced TV than the Amazon Omni QLED. It's brighter, has better contrast and more features, and all of this is balanced with really well-tuned picture presets.

It's well worth the extra £50 if you've got it.
