When is Cyber Monday 2022?

Cyber Monday 2022 will take place on Monday, November 28th, directly after Black Friday on 25th November.

How long will Cyber Monday 2022 last?

Just like Black Friday, Cyber Monday often stretches out longer than just 24 hours. Last year, we saw lots of Cyber Monday deals still live after 48- and 72-hours. A handful of deals tend to hang around for weeks after the big day, but it would be foolish to count on that happening. Prices of many a tech product are automatically programmed to bounce up the second the clock strikes midnight on Cyber Monday so if you see something that takes your fancy, it's best to strike while the iron's hot.

What is Cyber Monday?

The term 'Cyber Monday' was coined by Scott Silverman and the National Retail Federation's Ellen Davis in a bid to encourage people to take their shopping online during the Black Friday event. That was back in 2005, when people needed such encouragement! It's always the Monday after Black Friday.

Cyber Monday has become one of the biggest sales of the year, partly due to the global lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. Cyber Monday spending hit $10.7 billion last year, thanks to a total of 97.3 million shoppers. According to Drive Research a staggering 64% of Americans plan to shop on Cyber Monday (November 28th, 2022). Which explains why the best Cyber Monday deals can sell out in the blink of an eye...

Where to get the best Cyber Monday deals?

The dominant names in retail, such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart, are already slashing prices in hopes of getting their registers ringing. Walmart is known for some of the cheapest TV deals you can buy, with some sets under $100. Target is another great place to find Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. The big box retailer came up with one of the cheapest Nintendo Switch deals last year, so keep an eye out for possible reductions on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles this time around.  

We won't forget the hi-fi and home cinema kit, so will be on the lookout for deals on B&W and KEF speakers, not to mention 4K and portable projectors, AVRs, turntables, CD players, amplifiers and more. Fingers crossed specialist audio and home theater retailers such as Crutchfield and World Wide Stereo will deliver some spectacular Cyber Monday hi-fi and home theater bargains – this year's What Hi-Fi? Award-winners is a good place to start your search.

Are the Cyber Monday deals any good?

After the initial few years of excitement around Cyber Monday, we naturally moved to the apathy stage, as people began to question whether the offers were genuinely good deals. It remains up for debate.

For example, it's not unusual to see discounted products rise in price in the weeks ahead of a Cyber Monday "price cut"; naturally this means you're essentially just getting the original discounted price from earlier in the year. That said, there are always genuine deals to be had – it's just finding them amongst the onslaught of offers. 

Luckily that's where we come in; we'll handpick the best TV, audio and AV deals across retailers to find the ones that are really worth your hard-earned cash.

We'd suggest having a rough idea of what you want in mind – whether that be and LG OLED TV, Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless headphones, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II, Alexa and Echo smart home devices, Apple AirPods, Samsung smartphones or Apple iPads. That said, be prepared to compromise; a similar product of a similar quality might offer better value for money thanks to a Cyber Monday price cut. 

To avoid any doubt, we'll always try to highlight when a product falls to its "lowest ever" price. That way, you can be sure that you don't end up the victim of the retail industry's Cyber Monday shenanigans.
