Skip the chaos—these early Black Friday TV deals are already on fire
Skip the post-Thanksgiving chaos! Early Black Friday TV deals are here, and they’re already too good to pass up. From budget-friendly screens to cinematic giants, there’s a discounted TV for every space and setup. Updated regularly until the main sale.
I’m gonna be honest with you; I never shop on Black Friday.
Why? Because the day after Thanksgiving, I’m still in my turkey coma, eating leftover pumpkin pie and hanging out with the fam. The last thing I want is to stand in line (or stare at a frozen browser) just to snag a discounted TV.
But I do plan on getting a discounted TV.
Because for the past 5 years, I’ve done the smart thing: I shop Amazon’s early Black Friday TV deals instead.

Yes, Black Friday might be less 2 weeks away, but I’m already scooping up the savings, and I have to tell you, the selection is pretty good. Right now, you can grab an Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED Series for 40% off (just $229.99). And TOSHIBA’S 50-inch Class C350? It’s now $189 (46% off).
So if you’ve been eyeing a new screen but don’t want to pay full price, now’s the time to buy. And I mean right now. There’s zero guarantee how long these discounts will stick around, or how fast inventory will disappear. Miss it, and you may be waiting till next year for numbers this low.
Alright, enough talking. Let’s shop. Here are the early Black Friday TV deals that made my cut.
