Samsung has a ton of Black Friday TV deals live already
UPDATE: Nov. 10, 2023, 5:00 p.m. EST This post has been updated with the best early Black Friday TV deals at Samsung including the budget-friendly TU690T 4K line and two sizes of the The Frame.
Don't get us wrong: Best Buy and Walmart's lineup of early Black Friday Samsung TV deals aren't too shabby. But the best place to buy a Samsung TV on sale is... wait for it... Samsung's own website.
Samsung unveiled early Black Friday deals at the beginning of November — around the same time that Best Buy did, both more than a week ahead of Walmart. Those early deals include more than 20 QLED, Neo QLED, and OLED Samsung TVs (many of them 2023 releases) complete with a "Black Friday deal" tag to confirm that you're safe to bring your new screen home now rather than wait until the week of Thanksgiving. However, we'd be remiss not to mention that Best Buy and Walmart do also have some good Samsung TV deals, mostly on budget models that Samsung's website isn't featuring.
Because Samsung's premium TVs originally cost more than budget models like Walmart's onn. line or Amazon's Fire TV line, the discounts seem to hit a little harder. We're talking $1,000 or more off in several cases, with discounts as hefty as 40% or more off. We're tracking the best ones from Samsung's website, Best Buy, and Walmart below, updating the list as they come out in the coming weeks:
Note: All deals marked with a 🚨 have been marked as an early Black Friday deal by Samsung.
Why we like it
Of the handful of 85-inch Samsung TVs on sale this week, we think the deal on the Q80C is the best bang for your buck — considering Samsung has it marked as a Black Friday deal, complete with an extra $200 discount on top of its sale price from last week, bringing the total cost below $2,000.
The Q80C is Samsung's most advanced QLED (before meeting the Neo QLED side of the family), packing 96 directly-lit local dimming zones for the customized brightness necessary for watching quick-moving sports in the daylight. Also present are advanced gaming features like a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR support, plus object tracking sound.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which brand wins outright is tricky to answer, but we can designate which brand has better options for your ideal entertainment environment pretty handily. If most of your TV usage will occur during the day (like gaming or watching sports), the quantum dot layer of QLED TVs offers the brightness and inch-by-inch backlighting necessary to make content pop in bright rooms. Samsung specializes in QLED and has an expansive lineup of QLED and Neo QLED 4K TVs at a huge range of price points.
OLED, on the other hand, is the style of lighting you'll want if you do most of your watching or gaming in a dark room, as the self-lit pixels of OLED are able to get darker than backlit pixels to create contrast and hit the most legible black levels. LG has perfected OLED over the years and offers a more expansive lineup of OLED options than Samsung.
It depends. First, you'll need to decide whether you care about bright QLED backlighting or whether more basic LED brightness will be good enough. If you're set on QLED, your best cheap option from Samsung will be the Q60C starting at $549.99 for a 43-inch model ($449.99 on sale). If LED is fine, Samsung's best cheap LED TV is the CU8000 Series, starting at $379.99 for a 43-inch ($349.99 on sale).
