Best Black Friday smart TV deals 2023

1. 50in Samsung QN90C (was £999; now £899)

The Tizen operating system makes Samsung a great choice for those seeking an intuitive smart TV experience and a bountiful choice of streaming services. The QN90C is part of the South Korean manufacturer’s Neo QLED series and uses a Mini LED backlight in combination with a Quantum Dot filter to cover a wide colour gamut and deliver great contrast no matter what type of content you’re watching.

The 50in model has been selling for around £1,000 for the past few weeks but has seen a further £100 knocked off its price on Black Friday. You can buy it for a record-low price of £889 at Amazon but the best deal is at John Lewis, where members can get the TV for £899 with a soundbar and a six-month subscription to Disney Plus. You’ll need to sign up for membership, which is free, and enter the code MYJLSAMSUNG100 at checkout.

2. 65in LG UR78 (was £683; now £499)

LG’s webOS is considered by many as the best smart TV operating system in the business and it’s certainly one of our favourites. Streaming service provision is wide-ranging, the OS is crammed full of useful features, and everything is laid out very sensibly.

As an entry-level LCD option, the UR78 is one of the cheapest ways to gain access to webOS 23 and the 65in model is cheaper than we’ve ever seen it this Black Friday. It’s powered by the α5 AI processor 4K Gen6 and supports both LG’s Game Optimizer and Game Dashboard, though it’s important to note that the panel’s refresh rate is limited to 50Hz, so it’s not an optimal choice for next-gen gaming. Even still, this smart TV is great value having fallen below £500 for the first time ever.

3. 43in Toshiba QF5D (was £299; now £283)

This Black Friday smart TV deal sees an already eminently affordable Toshiba TV available for an all-time low price. The QF5D sports a Quantum Dot LED panel and runs the Fire TV operating system, which will be familiar to anyone who’s previously used a Fire TV Stick. It’s unsurprisingly rather Amazon-centric and not the most responsive smart OS around but is packed with content and has Amazon Alexa built into the remote, making controlling the TV with your voice a breeze.

There’s also support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, while in-built audio comes courtesy of Onkyo. You’ll need to temper your expectations where Atmos is concerned due to the inherent limitations of a two-channel 20W setup and picture quality won’t be out of this world, but given how cheap the QF5D is, some compromises are to be expected.

4. 55in LG C3 (was £1,299; now £1,199)

If you want a premium smart LG TV this Black Friday, the C3 is an exceptional choice. Unlike the UR78 above, it’s fully equipped to handle next-gen gaming, with a 120Hz refresh rate and four full-fat HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K@120Hz, ALLM, VRR. It also benefits from Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support and an OLED ex panel that’s able to hit high levels of brightness to help deliver a stunning visual experience.

The 55in model has seen a couple of price drops during November but thanks to £100 off its advertised price at Currys, you can pick it up for a best-ever price of £1,199. Use the code VISION100OFF at checkout to activate the discount and make sure you claim a guaranteed reward of between £25 and £100,000 in Currys’ “Everyone’s a Winner” LG OLED promotion.

5. 55in Sony A80L (was £1,599; now £1,399)

Many manufacturers sell smart TVs that run the Google TV operating system but this particular model is one of our favourites. It was reduced from £1,599 to £1,499 at the start of the month but had another £100 knocked off its price earlier this week, taking it to a new record-low of £1,399.

That’s a stunning price for an excellent OLED that earned a four-star rating and a Recommended badge when we reviewed it. If you like the look of the TV and are also on the hunt for a cheap PS5 this Black Friday, head on over to Currys – the retailer is selling the A84L, which is very similar to the A80L, along with the PlayStation 5 for £1,588, so you’re effectively paying less than £200 for the console.
