Black Friday TV deals live blog: The best prices on LG, Sony, Samsung and more

Right! Kicking things off in the spirit of sniffing out only genuine TV deals this Black Friday, the first spotlight deal I'll be looking at is on the 85-inch Sony X85K Series.

But why? Because I remember covering this exact deal over Amazon Prime-not-Prime-Day back in October (remember that?). And checking on Amazon today, the numbers just don't add up!

Back in October, Amazon stated the listing price as $2,799 with the then deal price being $1,898. 

Today Amazon has the listing price of the Sony X85K Series (85-inch) as $1,898 and the deal price at $1,698.

Head over to Best Buy, and their listing price is $1,999.99! These guys really can't make their minds up, can they?!

However, the long and short of it is that right now, the Sony X85K is currently on sale for the cheapest that I've seen it, since it was first released this year. And that deal is well worth looking at: 

Sony X85K Series (85-inch): $1,898 $1,698 at Amazon.

Over to the UK now, where you can get an amazing deal on one of the world's leading TV brands. Appliances direct has knocked a whopping £210 off the Sony Bravia 43-inch Smart TV, taking it down to just £427.97.

We just checked and £433 is the lowest price this Sony TV model has dropped to previously, so this is an extra fiver off that on top. Bargain. 

Sony is renowned for its quality TVs so we don't expect this deal to hang around long. If it does sell out, you can also find it over on Amazon UK for £433.96. 

A bestseller on Very.co.uk, this 50-inch 4K Samsung TV has £70 off and is an absolute steal at just £379 – the cheapest you'll find this model in the UK right now. 

It's a 2020 model, so a couple of years old, but it's still super popular. Of the 605 reviews on Very, the average score is an impressive 4.4 out of 5 stars, and most people commenting on what excellent value for money this TV offers and its crystal clear screen. The TU7020 retails for £449, which is in itself good value, but an extra £70 discount makes this an unmissable deal. 

One of the hottest products of the year, the Samsung TV Frame is not only a quality TV, but it doubles as a beautiful frame for your favourite art pieces. So really, you're getting two products in one here, and right now the 65-inch version is reduced by 22% on Amazon to £1,562.99 – that's over $430 off!

Want it bigger, or smaller, even? Amazon has a range of sizes and discounts running right now: 

• Samsung Frame (32-inch, 2022): $597 $547.99
• Samsung Frame (43-inch, 2022): $997.99 $779.99
• Samsung Frame (50-inch, 2022): $1,297.99 $897.99
• Samsung Frame (55-inch, 2022): $1,497.99 $997.99

• Samsung Frame (85-inch 2022): $4,297.99 $3,247.99

In one of the chunkier discounts we've seen in the UK, you can currently bag 46% off a 50-inch 4K Samsung TV with built-in Alexa and Airslim design, bringing the price down from £777 to £419. 

Featured in our guide to the best TV for PS5, the 43-inch HiSense A6G is has seen a good price cut from Amazon taking it from £429 down to £269, saving you £200 off the the RRP. If you're wanted a larger size, there's also savings to be had on the 50-inch and 55-inch models. 

Heyup, it's Reviews Editor Erlingur here, and I'll be looking at the best early Black Friday deals on TVs with you for the next few hours. 

My colleague Beren won't stop going on about his LG C2, which he's got in for review at the moment, and if you too want to accost your friends and workmates with a stream of updates on your shiny LG C2, and you live in the US, you're in luck.

It's currently over $400 off at Newegg, where you can bag the 42-inch version for $896.99 (was $1,299.99). Its 4K OLED screen is G-Sync compatible with a 120Hz refresh rate, so is excellent for both high-res streaming and immersive gaming, and if 42 inches isn't enough, many of the bigger models are also discounted. Click through to check these offers out.

Samsung really is going hard early this Black Friday, with 41% off its 55-Inch Q80B QLED 4K Smart TV, now £764 (was £1,299). And if you're looking for something even more impressive than that, the mahoosive 85-inch version is an equally gargantuan £1,700 off, now £2,299 (was £3,999). That's 43% for you stat nerds out there. So there.

The cost of living crisis is real, and although many people are feeling the pinch, that just means great BlacK Friday TV deals are all the more important than ever. That's why we rate this Hisense 43-inch TV deal over at Walmart – down from $249 to $198. 

This is a 720p high-def LED TV, and so you won't be getting the perfect blacks and limitless colours of the higher end OLED models on this page. But getting a 43-inch screen for under $200, on a tried and tested brand like Hisense, it's a great Black Friday TV deal for the times. 

Here at Creative Bloq, we try our best to cater for the creatives out there (it's literally in our name), and though you may think that would be hard when it comes to covering the best Black Friday TVs out there, it's actually easier than you think. 

'Art TVs' have really taken off, with LG's G (for gallery) series and Samsung's The Frame TV combining beautiful visuals with razor-thin bezels and special matt displays that can make your TV double up as the most beautiful art frame in your home. And this Black Friday, there are quite a few discounts on the latter series, in particular. Here are our two picks: 

- Samsung Frame TV (50-inch, 2022): $1,297.99 $897.99 at Amazon

- Samsung Frame TV (55-inch, 2022): $1,497.99 $997.99 at Amazon

We're really impressed with this deal, currently on over at B&H Photo. 

Get a 55-inch Samsung TU7000 for $347.99, saving you $50. That's a 55-inch, 4K TV from one of the leading TV manufacturers out there, for well under $400! 

Bargain! 

A £100 saving on this Hisense 55-inch, Mini-LED, 4K HDR10 Smart TV proves you needn't break the bank to get a good TV. The offer is on at Very and takes this excellent TV to decent £799.

If you're in the US you get an even better deal! Grab the Hisense - 55-inch Class U8H Series Mini LED Quantum ULED 4K UHD Smart Google TV for $599.99 – a massive $550 saving.
