When is the best opportunity to pick up a brand new iPad at the lowest price possible? Black Friday, of course. Starting today, every current generation Apple iPad has dropped to the lowest prices of the year. These deals should stick around through Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Even if you don't need one yourself, these would make awesome gifts for just about anyone (kids included) for Christmas. Without further ado, here are the best deals for each model.
Apple iPad Black Friday Deals (Newest Models)
Not sure which iPad to get? Read on below for a bit of detail on each deal.
Apple iPad 10.9" (A16)
We picked this model as the best overall iPad of 2025. For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get, and not just because it's the least expensive iPad on the block. Despite its affordable price point, it offers all the benefits of the iOS operating system with premium build quality and snappy performance. The 11th generation model is equipped with an 11" 264ppi Liquid Retina display, A16 Bionic chip, and starts at 128GB of internal storage. This model doesn't support Apple Intelligence, so you'll need to move up the ladder if you want Apple's new AI tech.
Apple iPad Mini 8.3" (A17 Pro)
The iPad Mini may be diminutive in size, but certainly not in performance. The A17 Pro chip is actually more powerful than the A16 Bionic found in the standard iPad. And despite the fact that the 8.3" screen is smaller, it's a higher quality display with a sharper 326ppi pixel density and both P3 Wide Color and True Tone technology. Also, unlike the standard iPad, the iPad Mini supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Air 11" and 13" (M3)
The 7th generation Apple iPad Air M3 tablet offers performance closer to the iPad Pro but without the hefty price tag. For Black Friday, the 11" model is down to $449 and the 13" model is down to $649, both after a $150 off instant discount. The 7th gen iPad Pro Air was released in March and features an 11" or 13" 264ppi Liquid Retina display with P3 Wide Color and True Tone technology, an Apple M3 chip, and starts at 128GB of storage. This model also supports Apple Intelligence.
Apple iPad Pro 11" and 13" (M5)
The new iPad Pro is the best tablet on the market, iOS or otherwise, thanks to the new M5 processor, which is both powerful and power-efficient. However, the processor isn't the only reason why the iPad Pro is superior to all other iPads. It's also the only tablet, Apple or otherwise, equipped with a tandem OLED display. Tandem OLED is better than traditional OLED (which is already best-in-class) for two reasons: 1) it's far brighter, and 2) it's less prone to burn-in. If you're wondering why this technology hasn't found its way into TVs, the answer is simply because it's not cost-effective at larger sizes. The iPad can get away with it because the display is smaller, but that's also a reason for the premium price point.

Black Friday is traditionally one of the best times of the year to buy video games and consoles. In previous years, we've seen huge discounts of over $200 on consoles like Xbox Series X. With Black Friday sales now live, many are wondering where this year's Xbox console deals are. Although there are no console deals yet live, some solid Xbox deals are available on games and accessories.
Are There Any Xbox Console Black Friday Deals?
Unfortunately, there are no Xbox console deals available for Black Friday 2025 at this time. This can be attributed to many reasons, with the biggest being the price hikes on both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S over the last 12 months. While Xbox Series X initially launched for $499.99, the console now retails for $649.99. As such, it's improbable we will see deals this year similar to what we saw in previous years, with the console available for around $350.
While Xbox consoles are not on sale, both PlayStation and Nintendo have Black Friday deals available. PlayStation has discounted its consoles by $100, meaning you can score a PlayStation 5 Pro for $649. As for Nintendo, the iconic Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Switch bundle did not return this year, but the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle is available for $499.99, which will save you $30.

PlayStation is having a pretty great Black Friday showing so far, and there are loads of great deals you can pick up over the weekend, and all the way through to Cyber Monday on Dec. 1.
My favorite PS5 console deals right now are absolutely on the NBA 2K26 bundle for $449, as you get a free game thrown in, alongside the PS5 Pro discount, down to $649 – likely the best price we'll see on the world's most powerful console for the time being.
In terms of other options, there's also $100 off the new PS5 Fortnite Flowering Chaos bundles, at $399.99 for the 825GB digital model or $449.99 for the 1TB disc edition.
You get PlayStation exclusive in-game items and 1,000 V-Bucks, making it the obvious pick for anyone who lives in the Fortnite ecosystem.
Borderlands 4 has also dropped to just $35 at Amazon in another best of the year kind of deal, and one I'm basically expecting to sell out before the weekend is even up.
There's plenty more games to get stuck into in the sale as well, including Game of the Year 2024 winner, Astro Bot, for $40, Elden Ring for $15, Spider-Man 2 for $30, Final Fantasy's 1-6 Pixel Collection for $40, EA Sports FC 26 for $30, and more.
DualSense Controllers
Most DualSense controllers are between $55 and $60, depending on color, for Black Friday this year – that's $20 off the regular price. DualSense controllers rarely go on sale as it is, so any discount is better than paying full price.
The cheapest options are going to be the standard white, Midnight Black, Gray Camo, the Galaxy Collection (Cosmic Red, Starlight Blue, and Galactic Purple) and the Sterling Silver colors for $55, while the newer colors, including the Chroma Collection that released earlier this year, are $60.
For those looking for a more premium gaming experience, the DualSense Edge is also $30 off in both white and black colors. PlayStation's "pro" controller offers interchangeable thumbstick modules to combat stick drift, customizable back buttons, and deep integration with the PS5's software to create and swap between profiles with ease.
PlayStation Plus
PlayStation Plus is finally getting a proper Black Friday cut. New signups can grab 33% off a 12 month membership, which is about as generous as Sony gets these days.
If you're already locked in, you can still shave 33 percent off by upgrading whatever time you have left from Essential or Extra to Premium or Deluxe. Simple, and actually worthwhile for once.
It's a cleaner offer than last year's messy tiered discounts, which spread 20 percent across Essential, 25 percent across Extra, 30 percent across Premium, plus smaller cuts on upgrades.
And while it doesn't quite top the Lunar New Year blowout with its steeper Premium and upgrade savings, it does match or outdo the more recent Days of Play numbers, where Premium and Premium upgrades also hit 33 percent.
You might have already seen my $20 or less roundup, which is still packed with heavy hitters from the last few years and perfect if you want maximum bang for your buck. I also recently covered the best games under $30 right now, sporting Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as my top pick.
I've also got you covered if you're looking for a more comprehensive roundup of the best video game deals for Black Friday. I'd also highly recommend you check in with my best Nintendo and Xbox Black Friday roundups, both of which I'll be updating daily with the best offers over the sale weekend. After that, I will rest. Have a good one!

The two actors presented a united front earlier this month at a high-profile Stranger Things Season 5 red carpet premiere, where Brown and Harbour posed together for a series of cosy photos but steered clear of media interviews.
At the same event, however, director Shawn Levy and Stranger Things co-creator Matt Duffer were both asked about the situation between the series' stars, following the publication just days earlier of a Daily Mail report that stated that Brown had lodged "harassment and bullying" complaints against Harbour and had subsequently been accompanied by a personal assistant whenever on set.
According to the Daily Mail, no sexual impropriety was alleged, and an internal investigation by Netflix reportedly lasted "for months." Now, following the publication of the Daily Mail article, Brown has commented on why she had been so "united" with Harbour at the premiere.
"We’ve been doing that for the last 10 years," Brown told The Hollywood Reporter. "I mean, we have always been united in that. We love this show with everything, and we value our friendship more than anything."
While not addressing her reported complaint directly, Brown went on to state that it had been "so nice" to subsequently "come back together" with Harbour for Stranger Things' final season.
"It was quite nostalgic because it reminded me so much of season two and three, where we’re both kind of butting heads and she’s growing up," she continued. "She’s trying to find her own voice and he’s trying to parent, and that dynamic definitely comes back into play once again, and I’m really excited for people to see that."
"Obviously, you understand I can't get into personal onset matters," Matt Duffer said when asked about the situation at the Stranger Things Season 5 premiere, "but I will say we've been doing this for 10 years with this cast, and at this point they’re family and we deeply care about them. So, you know, nothing matters more than just having a set where everyone feels safe and happy."
"You have to create a respectful workplace where everyone feels comfortable and safe, and so we did everything to build that environment," Shawn Levy added, speaking at the same event. "And we're proud of the fact that we did so. I've read a bunch of stories and they range from wildly inaccurate to... there's so much noise around it. But the truth is that we view this crew and this cast as family, and so we treat each other with respect, and that's always been bedrock."
Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios released update 1.4.0 this week, and in the patch notes teased a “very hot fix for the locked room exploits.” It turns out they weren’t kidding.
Following the release of the patch, players — as they often do — jumped into the hugely successful extraction shooter to give this fix a proper test. They’ve been able to cheat their way into locked rooms as before, but what they now find inside… well, Embark called it a “very hot fix” for a reason.
As redditor Forward_Problem_7550 discovered, locked rooms now turn you into a fireball if you glitch inside. The clip below shows the trap in action.
Reaction to the change is positive, with most players getting a kick out of what Embark has done here. “Best part of this is the clowns doing the glitch lose all their stuff to someone who legitimately opens the door with a key. CLASSIC!” enthused A_Tortured_Crab. “It's genuinely a really good fix,” added vedomedo. “Hopefully this is the mindset they keep going forward. Punish the exploiters and reward legit players.”
Now, some players are saying they’re more inclined to use their keys to enter locked rooms legitimately in the hope of finding “some dingus who hasn't read the patch notes.”
Technically this isn’t a fix, as players can still use the exploit to enter locked rooms. But it is an eye-catching workaround, and will surely put off players from trying to cheat their way inside a room after they’ve been cooked once.
“Would’ve been better if they just didn’t say anything and rolled this out,” suggested Maverixk_. “Imagine all the door glitches finding this out and losing all of their s**t before word of mouth spread. Would’ve been hilarious.”
That’s not all the update did. It’s also patched the gun quick swap exploit. Full patch notes are below.
Arc Raiders Patch Notes 1.4.0:
Content and Bug Fixes
Exploit mitigation mechanisms have been added for all locked rooms across all maps.
Fixed the gun exploit that allowed you to shoot quicker than intended by swapping to a quick use item and back.
The exterior access to Spaceport's Control Tower locked room has been blocked off.
Fixed the issue that sometimes caused low resolution textures in the Main Menu.
Fixed players being able to push each other by jumping on each other’s backs.
Fixed lighting artifacts that would sometimes occur upon entering maps.
Raider Voice now correctly respects the selected voice option after restarting the game.

The Forge is a fantasy RPG Roblox experience, where you'll play as one of the many races that inhabit the lands. Whether that's as a human, a goblin, or a dragonborn will all depend on reroll chances. Each race has its unique perks, influencing stats such as health, damage, attack power, and more. But if you don't like the character you get given, our list of The Forge codes will help you out with additional rerolls.
It's no surprise that The Forge focuses heavily on mining. The core gameplay centers around mining for ores, in the hopes of finding rare ores to forge powerful weapons and armor. You'll then throw those ores into the forge, where the blend of resources you use allows you to make items with special traits and designs.

Modern day gaming laptops today are truly "gaming-worthy". The most powerful models can run the latest games at super high resolutions and with ray tracing enabled, a notion that was unheard of just a few years ago. Now, all you need to do is find a great deal becauses price just keep going up. Fortunately, HP's Black Friday Sale has officially commenced, and with it HP's entire range of powerful OMEN gaming laptops have been brought down to the lowest prices I've seen all year.
Gamers looking for a mobile desktop replacement will find plenty of deals right up their alley. OMEN, OMEN Transcend, and OMEN MAX gaming laptops are all on sale right now with discounts of up to $1,300 off. Score an affordable yet capable RTX 5060 laptop for under $1,000 or splurge on a top-end RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 powerhouse that will still keep you under $2,000. All orders ship free and all HP laptops come standard with a 1 year warranty.
OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop
HP just dropped the price of the OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Laptop to just $1,449.99 after a $750 off instant discount.Specs include a 16" 1920x1200 display, Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This system can be customized if any of the specs aren't to your liking. I'd recommend upgrading to the 2560x1600 OLED display for an extra $150. The RTX 5070 Ti is a powerful mobile GPU that should easily handle even the latest demanding games on the laptop's 2K display. It's comparable in performance to the previous generation's RTX 4080 and pulls ahead of it in games that support DLSS 4.
OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 Gaming Laptop
If you want something even more powerful, then check out this OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5080 gaming laptop for just $1,999.99 with free shipping after $1,300 in instant discounts. Aside from the GPU, this laptop has been upgraded with a higher resolution 16" 2560x1600 display, a more powerful and higher core-count Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, and double the RAM and storage capacity. The RTX 5080 is an absolute monster of a mobile GPU that surpasses the previous generation's top performer, the RTX 4090. You could even enable ray tracing and still get playable frames.
OMEN MAX 16 RTX 5070 Gaming Laptop
What if you're actually looking for something a bit more budget friendly? Only for Black Friday can you still stick with a premium OMEN MAX model and a capable GPU (RTX 5070) for an extremely respectable price of $1,199.99. The mobile RTX 5070 GPU performs about 5%-10% better than the RTX 4070 that it replaces and the gap widens in games that support DLSS 4.0. It should be perfectly capable of running most games comfortably on the 1600p display.
OMEN Transcend 14 RTX 5060 Ultra-Portable Gaming Laptop
The OMEN Transcend 14 is HP's thinnest and lightest gaming laptop, measuring just 0.71" thin and weighing in at about 3.6 pounds (about as thin and light as the much pricier Razer Blade 14). Right now you can get it for as low as $1,249.99 for Black Friday after a $750 off instant discount. It's equipped with a gorgeous 14" 2880x1800 OLED display, efficient Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X (onboard) RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The RTX 5060 is a capable, current-gen GPU that will play non-demanding games just fine even on the 3K display, but I'd recommend dropping the resolution down to 1080p and enabling DLSS if you plan on playing extra demanding games. Still, you won't find another thin and light laptop with this kind of gaming prowess under $1,300.
OMEN 16" RTX 5060 Gaming Laptop
Yes, even if you're budget is super tight, you can still get a very good gaming laptop for under $1,000. This OMEN 16" gaming laptop, featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, can be had for just $949.99 after a hefty $850 off instant discount. The AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX is a surprisingly powerful GPU for this price range, with a max frequency of 5.3GHz and an ample 16 cores and 32 threads. The RTX 5060 is an unthrottled model that's more powerful than the 5060 found in the OMEN Transcend and will be able to run games smoothly on the 2K display.

Wizards of the Coast has announced it has gone “back to the drawing board” with its Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair x Monster Hunter collaboration, admitting it wasn’t good enough.
The collaboration includes four separate drops, each priced at $29.99, with a foil edition for $39.99. All cards involved are reprints of existing cards with Monster Hunter themes, nothing mechanically unique or new.
“Let's cut to the chase: the Secret Lair x Monster Hunter Superdrop we revealed last week fell short of expectations,” the company said. “We heard loud and clear that you were disappointed, and we believe we can do better. So, we're going to postpone this release and rework this Superdrop entirely.
“Like many of you, we're big fans of Monster Hunter. It's why we put this Superdrop together. But in our excitement, we missed the mark on elements like card selection and faithfully integrating the world and mechanics of Monster Hunter. As a result, the overall construction of this Superdrop is not up to the standard you have come to expect.
“Pulling Superdrops back isn't something we're going to do very often, but we're committed to doing better. Capcom is on board for us to take another swing at this Superdrop as well.
“So, we're going to pull this one back and will share new details and an updated release date in a few months. Keep an eye out for more information in 2026.”
It's been a busy year for both Secret Lair and third-party Magic collabs in general, with some incredible Secret Lair card drops including Sonic, Final Fantasy, Deadpool, SpongeBob, The Office and more. We're currently eagerly awaiting the release of the Avatar: The Last Airbender Universes Beyond set, following close on the heels of Marvel's Spider-Man. Next year is looking equally stacked, with planned Universes Beyond sets featuring TMNT, The Hobbit, Marvel, and Star Trek. Now we can add Monster Hunter to 2026.

A pristine copy of Fortnite has just been sold for $42,500 — which seems a lot for a free-to-play game.
To be fair, this is a boxed version of Fortnite — something that also grants access to the game's original Save the World mode, which Epic Games still requires you pay a small amount to access.
But there's no suggestion this sealed copy of the world's biggest battle royale will ever actually be played. Indeed, it has been sold encased in a box, and labelled with a 10 A++ rating from video game grading company Wata — its highest possible quality score.
Sold by Heritage Auctions, this copy of Fortnite is an Xbox One version from the game's original 2017 print run. Only a limited number of physical copies were ever produced, and this edition dates back to when the game's now-ubiquitous battle royale mode was just a side-offering.
As mentioned, it does include access to Save the World, which is worth... something. Epic Games has bundled the original Fortnite mode in numerous ways over the years, but currently sells access as part of a $18.49 add-on that includes 1,500 V-Bucks (which would separately cost $18) as well as an exclusive skin.
Even with this in mind, though, you're still paying $42,482 over the odds.
These days, Fortnite is a very different beast — a metaverse of battle royale modes, user-generated maps, plus LEGO and music offerings. Oh, and it's home to pretty much every media franchise that has ever licensed itself for a video game, as well as real-life popstars and now even Quentin Tarantino.
Of course, video games attracting huge sums as collectible items is nothing new — and within the grand scheme of things, $42,500 pales in comparison to other auction prices. Back in 2021, a factory-sealed copy of Super Mario Bros. sold for a record-breaking $2 million, though there's debate over whether the sale counted as an auction in the traditional sense. Officially, Guinness World Records recognizes a copy of Super Mario 64 sold for $1.56 million as the highest amount successfully bid for a video game to date. But who knows how much that copy of Fortnite will be worth in another 100 years?

Borderlands 4 has dramatically fallen to just $35 for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox in the Black Friday sales. At 50% off, that's a huge deal on a game that only came out a few months ago, and one that I truly doubt is going to stay in stock for long.
This is one of the best deals going in both the Xbox and PS5 Black Friday sales, and absolutely worth picking up ASAP. Deals like this tend not to stick around, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's gone by the end of Thanksgiving, let alone Black Friday weekend.
Just look at Battlefield 6, one of the best deals of the day, and already out of stock at Amazon. You've just got to be speedy with deals of this calibre, I'm afraid. I'd also recommend picking up Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater for $30 right now as well, another deal so good it's almost guaranteed to disappear soon.
But is Borderlands 4 worth it as well? Well, I certainly think so. It's a great game! While IGN's reviewer and loot shooter aficionado, Travis Northup, felt the open world wasn’t quite as open as it could be, he still gave the game a recommendable 8 out of 10.
“Borderlands 4 gives the series the massive kick in the pants it has needed, with a fantastic open world and greatly improved combat, even if bugs and invisible walls can sometimes throw off that groove.”
Wait? Not for a deal like this. Black Friday proper might throw a few curveballs on November 28, but Borderlands 4 at $35 is already sitting firmly in Black Friday-deal territory, and it’s absolutely worth grabbing before the stock gets lost to the shadow realm.
Only Amazon and GameStop have it right now, so if the price gets nuked, that’s you staring down a fresh dose of Black Friday FOMO. Hopefully Walmart and Best Buy wake up and match it soon. If it’s been sitting on your wishlist, this is the best price you’re going to see, and it wipes the floor with pretty much anything else in the mix.
It also goes head to head with what I’d been calling the best PS5 game deal so far, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater at $30. And if you’ve been lurking around my bargain roundups, you’ve already seen the $20 or less list stuffed with heavy hitters, plus the under $30 guide where MGS was the star of the show.
Like BF6, those are going to disappear fast. If you want something broader, I’ve already pulled together a full sweep of the best Black Friday video game deals. Bottom line, grab the good stuff now and enjoy your Thanksgiving.

The official Apple Black Friday event doesn't start until Friday, but Amazon and Walmart are already offering significant discounts on Apple products, including the AirPods Max for $399. These popular over-the-ear headphones are some of the best around and usually retail for $549, so this $150 discount is likely the best you're going to find for some time.
Apple AirPods Max for $399.99
AirPods Max represent Apple's top-of-the-line audio experience, featuring a custom Apple-designed audio driver, H1 chip for instant pairing and automatic switching between your Apple devices, and personalized Spatial Audio with head tracking. Similar to the AirPods Pro, these also feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode, which allow you to seamlessly adjust the audio to suit your environment.
These are the latest AirPods Max models available, which now include up to 2x better ANC, a USB-C port for charging, and a refreshed lineup of colors: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Orange. The USB-C port also allows for lossless audio, which is a great addition for audiophiles.
If you're more into earbuds than over-the-ear headphones, check otu the wireless AirPods deals. Nearly all models of AirPods are on sale for Black Friday, including the refreshed AirPods 4 (with Active Noise Cancellation) for $99 and the standard Airpods 4 for $69. If you're looking for a higher-end in-ear solution, the new AirPods Pro 3 are also on sale as well, with improved ANC, an improved fit, and the ability to track workouts without an iPhone or Apple Watch needed.
For even more savings, you can shop Black Friday deals at just about every retailer right now, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.

Without a doubt OLED technology offers the best image quality you can find in a consumer TV and fortunately, OLED TV prices have dropped significantly in 2025.

Note that several of these deals are constantly going in and out of stock, so check back again if the TV brand and size that you want is currently available.

Sony Bravia XR8B 4K OLED TV Deals for Black Friday
Are you a staunch Sony loyalist? I can't blame you. After all, they are the company behind the PlayStation 5 console, so it stands to reason Sony TVs would make a great complement to the console (and it's true). The Sony Bravia XR8B is a 2025 release that replaces last year's XR8. It uses a W-OLED panel so image quality is comparable to Samsung's S85F and LG's B5 OLED TV models. The Bravia 8 supportsHDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision video formats and Dolby Atmos and DTS audio.
If You're Looking for a High-end TV, Go With OLED
Compared to any other type of TV, OLED TVs boast superior image quality thanks to their near-infinite black levels, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times. This is easily the best type of TV for streaming 4K HDR content in its intended glory. OLED TVs have also been our favorite TVs for console gaming because nearly all of them feature a native 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 inputs for running PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X games in 4K at up to 120fps.
Size Matters, Get the Biggest TV You Can Afford
This year, shoppers are trending towards bigger TVs. Everyone who's purchased a 55" TV in the past is probably now looking to upgrade to a 65" TV, and even 77" TVs are becoming increasingly more common. Manufacturers are aware of this trend and I expect the biggest price drops to happen in the 60" to 77" size range.
If you're looking to upgrade, my advice is to get the biggest TV that can still fit in your intended space and is within your budget. One of the main reasons why people choose to upgrade is to get a bigger TV, and a larger TV will be more future-proof down the road. TV technology moves at a relatively slow pace and chances are if you're happy with the image quality of your TV right now, you'll probably also be fine with it for the long haul. But size is a different matter.
Gamers Should Look for TVs With These Features
If you have a current generation console like a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, you'll want to make sure that your new TV has both a native 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 inputs. These are necessary to run games in 4K at up to 120fps. Even in 2025, there are quite a few budget TVs that don't have these features, so make sure you do your due research. If you're a gamer, it is definitely worth it to splurge a little more on a TV that can run your games to their fullest potential.
Despite being a current generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2 has lax TV requirements compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series X. When the Switch is connected to its dock and a television, it is only capable of outputting a 4K resolution signal at up to 60 frames per second. It can go up to 120fps if the resolution drops to 1080p, but the data rate required for both these options is pretty much the same, and you would much rather play any game in 4K.

the best deals I've found so far expect to see the lowest prices of the year during Black Friday. That means brand-name OLED TVs from LG, Samsung, and Sony will probably drop to as low as $1,199.99 (or less) for a 65" model and $1,799.99 (or less) for a 77" model. Higher end models with advanced features like LG's Evo or Samsung's quantum dot technology will very likely be heavily discounted as well.

Note that Electronic Express often expires its eBay listings quickly, possibly due to low inventory, so these deals might end well before Black Friday, which lands on November 28.
LG's OLED TVs have been our favorite TVs for console gaming for three years running thanks to their outstanding image quality, low input lag, and high refresh rate. The 2025 C5 uses LG's proprietary Evo panel, which is significantly brighter and offers a wider color gamut than traditional W-OLED TVs. Aside from higher production costs, there's no downside to this technology; the C5 boasts the near-infinite black levels, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times you'd expect from any OLED TV This is easily the best TV for streaming 4K HDR content in its intended glory.
The LG C5 has the necessary gaming features as well, including a native 120Hz panel that can be pushed to as high as 144Hz, HDMI 2.1 inputs for running PS5 games in 4K at up to 120fps, variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM). The C5 is also lightweight for its size because the rear cabinet housing is made of a composite fiber; for example, this 65" model weighs only 36 pounds without the stand, making it much easier to wall mount.
