All the biggest and best Black Friday QLED TV deals are here, and even though Black Friday is making way for the next wave of discounts to come, we still have a roundup of all the best quantum dot display discounts on sale. If you've been wondering whether you should pick up an OLED screen or a quantum dot alternative, offers on the latter may help you finally make up your mind – and with new models hitting stores, last year's favorites are likely to drop to new record lows.
For the most part, the best gaming TV options available right now are either rocking a QLED or OLED panel. Out of the two, you're more likely to find screens with quantum dot tech within Black Friday gaming deals than organic LEDS. That's because they usually boast a lower MSRP, just like the Hisense 55" Class QD5 Series QLED, which sits below the $400 mark. Yes, there are plenty of OLED offers kicking around too, but discounts have a better chance of being deeper when the starting point is lower.
QLED TVs like the Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED represent great value, especially with it already being under $500. Any Amazon-owned brand TVs are also likely to see further price cuts as Black Friday, and the incoming Cyber Monday rears its head. Each Black Friday, Amazon tends to prioritize its own tech, so if you have your eyes on one of their QLED offerings, you should at least still find something.
Samsung proved to be a regular name amongst this year's Black Friday deals. Offerings from its Neo Quantum Series like the Samsung 65-inch QN90D already have $800 off. Even its Frame TV line, like the 2002 model has $100 off its MSRP, which is a big deal as it's well-known for its expensive price tag. Hisense is also leading the way with discounts like with its 55-inch Canvas TV which is now $300 cheaper this month. These two QLED TVs offer an alternative option for those aesthetically conscious tech lovers.
Even 2024 models, which can sometimes take a while to see big discounts, have already seen major price slashes. The Samsung 65-inch QLED is a massive $500 down from its regular price point at Amazon. If you still want to grab other newer 2024 TV models like those, we recommend keeping an eye on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart from now on as Cyber Monday rolls around.

Black Friday QLED TV deals - what to expect
There are a few displays that we're going to be looking particularly closely at during this month's Black Friday QLED TV deals. From new releases that are already seeing early discounts to older models that are primed for some hefty reductions, it's likely we'll see a healthy range of prices on the shelves this November.
One of last year's best value QLED options was the TCL Q5, which ended up reduced from $449.99 to $229.99. The 55-inch Hisense A6H also showed up for just $259.99 at Best Buy. We fully expect to see similar budget models show up during 2024, and we might even end up with a few newer screens at a similar price.
As for the higher end of the scale, the Samsung QNED85 is a great example of a screen that dipped below $1,000. It was slashed to $896.99 during the event, and we suspect it might show up for less this year if it's still available. Both the Samsung Q70C and QN70C also ended up with $500 and $1,100 off respectively, but we reckon those prices will drop even further as the line up matures.
As mentioned above, the newbies we'll be thinking about are the Samsung QN85D and Hisense's new U-series range. Models like the U7N are fresh, but should drop to around the $500 mark, while smaller options with lower specs may even dip to around $300.
As for the absolute cheapest you'll pay for an QLED TV this Prime Day, you're looking at around the $300 mark. Amazon, Hisense, and TCL normally occupy this price range, sticking with 50-inches or less in terms of size. Deeper discounts could very well pop up this year depending on the age of specific models and offers applied to rivals, so watch this space for record-breaking savings.
What time of year has best TV deals?
Black Friday is usually the time to grab great TV deals, but discounts will pop up throughout the year. If you do miss out on the big event, you should be able grab a similar discount during Amazon's Prime Day sale.
Is Samsung QLED the same as OLED?
QLED and OLED are completely different types of screen tech, but both have their strengths and weaknesses. QLED (Quantum dot LEDs) are tiny nanocrystals that can change color independently. OLED (Organic LEDs) provide a similar function, but don't need to rely on a separate backlight for illumination. Our tests conclude that the latter produces better colors, contrast, and black levels, where as QLED screens are much brighter and are less suspectable to screen burn and image retention.
