Best Black Friday TV deals 2021: 7 top discounts for all budgets

Perhaps the first thing you think about when you hear the words "Black Friday" is images of people fighting over discounted TVs in big box stores. But thanks to online shopping, you can get a great Black Friday TV deal without waiting in line or risking your neck.

With only a couple of days to go until Thanksgiving, we've already seen some eye-popping discounts on TVs — from super cheap sets that will cost you less than $300 all the way to budget-busting 8K ultra HD TVs with discounts running in to the thousands.

1. Samsung TU7000 55" 4K Smart TV: $479.99

For most Black Friday TV deals hunters, this 55-inch TV from Samsung is going to hit the sweet spot between size, features and price — you can buy it now for less than $500 (the lowest price we've ever seen this model). For that you'll get a large flatscreen TV with ultra HD picture, smart speaker compatability, and Samsung's custom Tizen Smart TV menu that makes navigating between linear TV and streaming apps really easy.
