Black Friday TV deals UK 2026: the models worth watching and how to spot a real deal

LG's C-series is the OLED most people shortlist. LG's UK spec page lists the 2026 C6 with its α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, a 120Hz panel with VRR up to 165Hz, G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility, Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, 40W 2.2-channel sound with Dolby Atmos, and webOS. LG covers the panel under its OLED Care+ for five years. It's sold by Amazon.

It's also sold in 42, 48, 65, 77 and 83-inch sizes, and Amazon lists bundles with LG soundbars. Make sure you're comparing the TV on its own, in the size you want, before judging a discount.

The B6 is LG's entry OLED for 2026. It uses the simpler α8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 and tops out at 120Hz rather than 165Hz, according to LG's UK page, but keeps OLED's perfect blacks, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker Mode and webOS. It's sold by Amazon.

If you mainly watch films and TV in the evening and don't need the C6's extra brightness and gaming headroom, this is the OLED to watch. It's worth comparing against last year's B5 and C5 if you can still find them: Which? says previous-year TVs are often the cheapest way into a range.

Samsung's S90H pairs an OLED panel with its Glare Free anti-reflection screen, which helps in a bright living room. Samsung's UK page lists the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, Motion Xcelerator 165Hz, HDR10+, 40W 2.1-channel sound with Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound Lite, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. Like all Samsung TVs it doesn't support Dolby Vision, which matters if you watch a lot of Netflix or Disney+ in Dolby Vision. On Amazon.co.uk it's sold by PRC Direct and dispatched by Amazon.

Samsung often runs cashback offers alongside retailer discounts, and has offered a free five-year warranty on registered TVs in 2026. Check the terms and dates, as these can change the real price more than the headline discount.

Sony's Bravia 8 II uses a QD-OLED panel, which Sony says gives its widest-ever colour palette, and Acoustic Surface Audio+, where the screen itself acts as the speaker. Sony's UK spec page lists a 120Hz panel; the TV has Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, Google TV and two 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K 120Hz, VRR and ALLM. On Amazon.co.uk it's sold by Sony's own Sony Store Online Marketplace with a five-year warranty mentioned in the listing.

This is a 2025 model, so it has been on sale for a while and could see bigger reductions as 2026 models settle in. Amazon lists it as K55XR8M25BP, a retail variant code of Sony's K-55XR8M2, so check the size and code carefully when comparing shops.

Samsung's QN80H is its mid-range Mini LED for 2026. Samsung's UK page lists Quantum Mini LED full-array dimming, the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, a 100Hz panel with 144Hz VRR, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos with OTS Lite, four 4K 144Hz HDMI ports and Wi-Fi 6E. Like other Samsungs it skips Dolby Vision. On Amazon.co.uk it's sold by PRC Direct and dispatched by Amazon.

If you'd consider an OLED but your living room is bright, this is a sensible alternative. Check the model letter: H is 2026, while the older QN80F (2025) and QN80D (2024) may still be on sale for less.

Hisense's U7Q covers a lot for the money on paper. Hisense UK's spec sheet lists Mini LED local dimming, a native 144Hz panel with VRR on two HDMI 2.1 ports, under 7ms input lag at 4K 120Hz, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive, and 2.1-channel sound with a built-in 20W subwoofer and Dolby Atmos. It runs Hisense's VIDAA smart platform and supports Freely, the aerial-free live TV service. It's sold by Amazon.

Watch for the PRO version (55U7QTUK PRO) and the 2026 U7S: they have different specs, so don't assume a deal on one applies to the other.

TCL's C6K combines a QD-Mini LED backlight with an HVA panel, a native 144Hz refresh rate, Google TV and an ONKYO 2.1-channel sound system with Dolby Atmos, according to TCL UK. TCL's 55-inch specification sheet lists 180 local dimming zones (the "up to 512 zones" figure on TCL's page applies to the 98-inch model) and four HDMI 2.1 inputs.

On Amazon.co.uk it was sold by a third-party seller (MYM Suppliers) and dispatched by Amazon when I checked. Look at who the seller is on the day, and compare with TCL's UK stockists, before you buy.

TCL's 2026 C7L is the step up. TCL UK lists 800 precise dimming zones on the 55-inch model, up to 2,700 nits peak brightness, a native 144Hz panel and Google TV; the Amazon listing adds Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, FreeSync Premium Pro and sound tuned by Bang & Olufsen. It's sold by Amazon.

This is a new model, so Black Friday may be its first big sale and there's little price history to compare against. Peak brightness figures are each maker's own and aren't directly comparable between brands.
