4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals 2024: what to expect during this year's sale
4K 120Hz TV deals will pop up again in November
4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals will arrive in just a couple of weeks, just in time for the PS5 Pro launch. That's important, as if you're planning on picking up Sony's souped-up console, chances are you're going to want a faster UHD panel if you don't have one. While you'll ideally want to wait for the main event for the lowest prices, I've been keeping tabs on early offers for those of you looking to get set up in advance.
The best gaming TV space is ever-shifting, and the current frontrunner is the LG OLED G4. The flagship display can easily provide your PS5 or Xbox Series X with 120Hz, all while ramping things up to 144Hz for players who need extra speed. While we're hoping that model will show up among other Black Friday gaming deals, there are now more than a few alternatives that can match those specs like the Hisense U7N - albeit with less impressive colors and contrast.
Naturally, your milage will vary in terms of price when it comes to 120Hz 4K TV deals. The resolution and refresh rate combo is still considered a premium feature, and most budget options are going to stick with 60Hz. You'll also have a whole load of 144Hz options to consider this year, adding another layer of choice for players looking to play PC games or futureproof their setup. That said, we're confident we can find you a display for under $500 during Black Friday 2024, so you'll want to stick with us if you're trying to keep costs down.

Save $248.99 - It's a good middle size 4K 120Hz display that'll pair perfectly with PS5 Pro when it arrives this November, and it's down to its lowest ever price. There's always a chance it'll dip lower during Black Friday itself, but if you're looking to be all set up for Sony's new console landing, this is a solid offer.

LG QNED85T 65-inch | $1,299.99 $896.99 at Amazon
Save $303 - Now down to its lowest price, this take on QLED by LG is fantastic value for under $900. This may very well be the price we see during Black Friday 2024, as this discount has only recently become the new norm.
✅You want high-end QLED visuals

Buy it if:
✅ You're looking for a high refresh rate for gaming
✅ You want a TV with powerful built-in speakers
✅ It's all about detail and ultra-definition for you

4K 120Hz Black Friday TV deals: What do we expect
Let's kick off the discussion with mid-range TV deals, as the majority of you out there will be looking to spend under $1,000. We can do one better than that, as we stumbled across an 55-inch 144Hz Hisense U7K last year for just $479.99 at Best Buy. TCL rose to that challenge by slashing its Q7 display down from $999.99 to $648, which is a fantastic price considering it applied to the 65-inch version.
If you're hellbent on picking up an OLED TV for less, you'll want to keep a close eye on the LG OLED B3. Now that the new B4 is available, the 120Hz screen should drop lower than last year, beating its previous $999.99 Black Friday offer. Those of you willing to spend a bit more should also keep the LG OLED C3 in mind, as it's about time it dropped to an all new record low.
Of course, those of you who already know they're picking up the LG OLED G4 this year will want to wait for the sale. When the time comes, you might be tempted to go for the older OLED G3 model, and if the price is just right, doing so could be a wiser move. That's dependant on if stock actually sticks around till November, but if we see any incredible clearance offers, we'll be sure to let you know.
What you will want to be wary of is TV's showing up with a faux 120Hz mode. This can happen when specifically using search bars to find higher refresh rate models, as some panels use tricks to simulate the effect of faster speeds. Each brand will use its own terminology for the feature, with Sony traditionally calling it "Motionflow", but it effectively uses techniques that can come with latency caveats. Simply put, you won't be using a native 120Hz display in these instances, which isn't ideal for gaming.
Some TVs also trade resolution to achieve 120Hz, meaning they step down from 4K to 1080p. This might actually be a decent option for anyone playing Overwatch 2 on PS5 or Xbox Series X since the game itself dips to 1440p and scales back up to UHD to hit 120fps. You will absolutely notice a difference in terms of fidelity, but considering these models can come in at under $300, it could be a way to save money.
Should you wait for the 4K 120Hz TV Black Friday deals?
You don't necessarily have to wait right until November if you see a great offer today. Of course, the likelihood is that there will be more chances than at any other point in the year to get a cracking deal during Black Friday. You will often find retailers and manufacturers going early in November with their deals, spreading them over a longer period of time nowadays, so your time to strike could come early. It's all dependant on whether you are happy to wait until November 2024 to save some cash, or would prefer to take the plunge now and enjoy the benefits.
Do 4K 120Hz TV prices drop on Black Friday?
Not only do we see almost all TV prices drop during Black Friday (slight exaggeration but you know what I mean), we're going to see some of them – like the 4K 120Hz beasts – drop the hardest. These are going to be some of the best price drops going as it's a spec that's rapidly become the norm over the past couple of years, and those most premium TVs that throw in loads of other bells and whistles will drop the hardest.
Is 120Hz needed for PS5?
You don't need an 120Hz TV to play PS5, but pairing the new gen console with a high refresh screen will unlock its potential. In supported games like Overwatch 2, you'll be able to experience faster, more responsive visuals with a high frame rate to boot. However, keep in mind that only selected releases support 120Hz, and many PS5 games reduce resolution to 1440p to boost fps.
Why are 120Hz TVs so expensive?
High refresh screens normally cost substantially more than their 60Hz counterparts, and that's largely because they're more expensive to produce. That's not to say you can't pick up an 120Hz screen for less, but you'll normally end up having to trade away other specs to keep prices low.
Is 60Hz vs 120Hz noticeable?
Most players will notice a difference between 60Hz and 120Hz. Displays with a latter refresh rate update on screen frames twice as fast compared to conventional models, which matters if you're playing games with a higher frame rate. If you're into competitive shooters, this will make all the difference, as your movement will feel more responsive as a result.
Last year's best Black Friday 4K 120Hz TV deals
Hisense 55U7K 55-inch | $799.99 $479.99 at Best Buy
Save $320 - We don't tend to see this 144Hz TV down past the $550 mark often, but Best Buy knocked it down to a new record low price that sold out at Amazon and Walmart. It'll normally set you back closer towards $650, so this deal was pretty refreshing.

Save $1,002 - The OLED S90C range was reduced on the TV maker's site, resulting in a nifty $1,000 discount on the 65-inch model. However, at Amazon, you'd save an extra two dollars. That might not sound like a lot, but at least you could gain satisfaction from knowing you got the best deal.
LG OLED C3 55-inch | $1,499.99 $1,296.99 at Amazon
Save $203 - The C3 might be new to 2023, but ended up over $200 cheaper during Black Friday. It's crept back up in price a little throughout the sale period, but this is still a decent discount considering its an OLED screen, capable of impressive 4K 120Hz visuals.
Samsung QN90C 65-inch | $2,797.99 $1,697.99 at Amazon
Save $1,100 - Amazon lobbed 39% off Samsung's premium QLED display, placing an appreciated gap between its current price and its usual tag. This model has been steadily dropping from MSRP for a while, but it finally set sail in the Black Friday lagoon.
Samsung QD-OLED S95B 4K TV 65-inch | $2,199 $1,659 at Walmart
Save $540 - The 65-inch S95B crept back up in price, but you could still get it for more than $500 off right now at Walmart. It was an impressive deal considering its size and you'll end up with a superb OLED panel that boasts those coveted 120Hz abilities, but its AI powered processing will also upscale everything you watch to 4K.
LG QNED80 75-inch | $1,499.99 $1,096.99 at Amazon
Save $403 - With 27% off in line with Black Friday, this discount has taken the QNED80 below $1,250 for the first time. Amazon is actually beating Best Buy's specifically labelled offer by a few dollars. That might not sound that impressive, but you could treat yourself to a coffee.
Sony OLED Bravia XR A80L 65-inch | $1,998 $1,698 at Amazon
Save $300 - Sony knows a thing or two about premium TVs, and this display is everything you'd expect from the longstanding brand. It's currently down to its lowest price at Amazon, and it'll pair perfectly with your PS5 thanks to its exclusive gaming features.
LG OLED B3 77-inch | $2,296.99 $1,796.99 at Amazon
Save $500 - This $500 off the OLED B3 deal was exactly the kind of deal we were after on Black Friday, as it brought the 77-inch model to a new record low, the 22% discount smashes previous deals, and the panel would have previously set you back $3,299.99 before September.
Samsung QN90C 75-inch | $3,299.00 $2,178 at Walmart
Save $1,118 - Black Friday ushered in a new QN90C record low, and was the first time we've seen it drop below $2,500, with Walmart swooping in to smash Amazon's previous price. It hasn't been at full MSRP for a while, but this discount is much deeper than usual.
Sony OLED Bravia XR A80L 77-inch | $3,499 $2,699.99 at Amazon
Save $801 - The 77-inch Bravia XR A80L reached a new record low during Black Friday 2023. Prices have been lowering on this one for a while now (it originally retailed at $3,499!), but this Black Friday deal means that it's cheaper than it has been all year.
4K 120Hz TV deals for Black Friday in the UK
LG OLED C2 48-inch | £1,099.99 £949 at Currys
Save £150 - At under £1,000, this 48-inch LG 4K 120Hz TV was one of the best deals during Black Friday 2024. It wasn't quite down to its lowest price ever (£849 in the summer), but it was still a fantastic offer on a model that can trade blows with the newest OLED screens on the block.
Samsung QN90C 43-inch | £929 £729.00 at Amazon
Save £200 - Samsung's 'elite gaming TV' reached a rather lovely record low at Amazon thanks to this discount. Back in August, it actually dropped from £1,600 to just above the £1,000 mark, so we're thoroughly impressed to see it for substantially less for Black Friday.
Sony A95K QD-OLED 55-inch TV | £2,699 £1,799 at John Lewis
Save £900 - This deal takes Amazon's previous lowest price and steals its lunch money. You'd normally have to pay over £2,000 to be in with a chance of snagging this screen, and we can't see it becoming the same price as regular OLED models.
Samsung S90C 65 Inch TV | £2,799 £1,639 at Amazon
Save £1,160 - There's nothing sweeter than saving well over £1,100 on a high end TV, and this S90C deal was exactly that. It first plummeted from its lofty £2,999 RRP during the summer, and although it crept back up in price slightly since early 2023, it was still a very impressive saving.

I’ve been messing around with PCs, video game consoles, and tech since before I could speak. Don’t get me wrong, I kickstarted my relationship with technology by jamming a Hot Wheels double-decker bus into my parent’s VCR, but we all have to start somewhere. I even somehow managed to become a walking, talking buyer’s guide at my teenage supermarket job, which helped me accept my career fate. So, rather than try to realise my musician dreams, or see out my University degree, I started running my own retro pop culture site and writing about video games and tech for the likes of TechRadar, The Daily Star, and the BBC before eventually ending up with a job covering graphics card shenanigans at PCGamesN. Now, I’m your friendly neighbourhood Hardware Editor at GamesRadar, and it’s my job to make sure you can kick butt in all your favourite games using the best gaming hardware, whether you’re a sucker for handhelds like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch or a hardcore gaming PC enthusiast.
