AI-generated summary
WIRED reviewers have tested the TVs featured in this early Black Friday deals guide, with the exception of the LG C6 which is currently in testing.
You should never buy a TV at full price. This is a hill I will die on, and I am proven right every year when I see 20-, 30-, and even 50-percent-off deals on some of the best TVs. It may be weeks away, but I'm already seeing some great Black Friday deals, especially on TVs.
If you're in the market for a new screen, now is a smart time to shop options of all sizes, from big, premium OLED TVs for a home theater to small art TVs for the bedroom. Because you'll be ahead of the deal-hunting masses, you probably won't have to worry about shipping delays or out-of-stock notifications. A WIRED reviewer has tried every TV featured below (with one exception, the LG C6, which is currently in testing).

WIRED Featured Deals
The Best OLED TV Deal: LG C6 65-Inch OLED TV for $1,400 ($1,300 off)
The Best Budget TV Deal: TCL QM7L 65-Inch Mini-LED TV for $898 ($602 off)

Best OLED TV Deals
This is the lowest price I've ever seen for the 65-inch LG C6, a fantastic deal on an excellent OLED TV. LG's C-Series TVs are consistently among our favorites due to their high brightness, uniform blacks, and vivid, natural colors. Add in their ample connectivity, which makes them versatile enough for gamers, and it's clear why this is a top OLED pick.
The premium 2026 Samsung S95H OLED TV is now at its lowest price yet. WIRED reviewer John Brandon praised the TV for its accurate color and deep blacks. New to the latest S95H model is a silver bezel that's recessed behind the main OLED panel, making the TV look like a metal picture frame.
I understand wanting a nice OLED TV but not wanting to pay premium OLED prices. That's where budget OLEDs like the LG B6 shine—especially when steeply discounted. The 48-inch version, in particular, is 50 percent off at Best Buy right now, which is such a good deal, I thought it was a typo. (I won't be surprised if the price mysteriously goes up.) Brandon praised the TV's thin size, simple setup, and deep and rich blacks.
Best LED TV Deals
Spoiler for our upcoming review: This is one of the best midrange TVs available. It's a fantastic option that will satisfy most people, and at its current 40-percent-off price, it'll also satisfy most budgets. Reviewer Rick Broida was seriously impressed by its bright and vibrant color display, which has a distinct pop that's a joy to behold.
This isn't a huge discount, and I wouldn't be surprised if the price went down closer to Black Friday. Even so, the TCL QM6K is one of the best TVs for most people, according to former WIRED reviewer Ryan Waniata, because of its well-rounded picture and reasonable price (even when not on sale).
Again, this isn't the biggest discount I've seen for this TV, but 33 percent off is nothing to sneeze at for an already-good-value television. In his U7SG review, Waniata called this a near-premium model with a new-and-improved stand and an anti-reflective matte screen reminiscent of high-end Samsung models.
Best RGB TV Deals
The LG Micro RGB Evo takes the top spot in our guide to the best RGB TVs, and this is the lowest price I've ever seen it. Reviewer John Brandon thought movies and shows looked stunning and vivid on its screen, with highly customizable picture settings that put it in a league of its own. Keep in mind that it only comes in 75-, 86-, and 100-inch sizes.
Best Art TV Deals
The best art TV is Samsung's Frame Pro (2026) thanks to its excellent image quality, contrast, color depth, and anti-glare technology that far outshines the competition, says Brandon. The only problem is that it's historically been high-priced. While 17 percent off may not sound that impressive, it's actually matching the Prime Day low I saw earlier this year for the same model.
This discount isn't as low as its Prime Day price (yet), but 50 percent off is still great and makes this budget-friendly art TV even more appealing—especially for secondary rooms. It's not as bright as Samsung's art TVs, but it does come with a far broader free art library, no subscription required.
Best Projector Deals
This is the best home theater projector we've tested, and it's at its lowest price to date. Yes, even at 25 percent off, this projector costs a pretty penny, but its dynamic, self-adjusting iris (which automatically increases or reduces light) puts it well above similar competitors. That, plus its outstanding brightness and contrast, means the picture quality is stellar even in broad daylight.
