85-inch TV Black Friday deals 2024: the best early deals on TVs from Hisense, Samsung and more
Big discounts and record-lows are already live
Black Friday is nearly here, landing on November 29 this year, but there are plenty of 85-inch Black Friday TV deals live. So whether you're after a premium, home cinema screen or big screen budget bargain, there is a deal to suit you.
While we still anticipate some Black Friday deals are to come in the lead up to the Black Friday itself, Amazon in both the US and UK has got some great offers live. Best Buy's Black Friday deals are live in the US and Currys in the UK looks to have some nice deals too, among other retailers in both areas.
When it comes to the best 85-inch TVs, you may think the best option is a large, cheap LED screen, but this is something to beware, as I explained during Black Friday last year. Thankfully, we're seeing some great deals live already on TVs that fit the criteria. Highlights include the Hisense 85-inch U7N for $1,299.99 (was $2,199.99) at Best Buy in the US and if you're in the UK, the TCL 85-inch C805 is available for £1,298 (was £1,599) at Currys.

While it's pricier than some of its budget rivals, it's still an excellent TV and this deal take it down to a record-low for its 85-inch model.
The Sony X90L is an LED TV that delivers the performance of a more premium mini-LED thanks to its effective backlight and higher brightness. It also delivers excellent contrast. It also offers 4K, 120Hz, VRR and ALLM for gaming as well as Dolby Vision HDR support. This deal sees the 85-inch model down to $1,698, a record-low price at Amazon US.
Serving as the entry-level OLED TV in LG's 2024 lineup, the B4 has had a number of updates over its predcessor, the B3, including a faster processor, a new 48-inch size and four HDMI 2.1 ports. It still delivers rich contrast, vibrant colors and refined details in its picture as well as a great suite of gaming features, all for cheaper than any other 2024 OLED. While this is still a premium price, it's hard to ignore a massive $1,000 discount, making this big screen OLED that much more affordable.
The Samsung QN90D sets itself apart from fierce mini-LED TV competition in one area -- sports. The QN90D possess excellent motion handling and high, full-screen brightness that make it perfect for viewing sports in bright, daytime environments.

While we haven't tested the TCL QM7, we have tested (and loved) the step-up TCL QM851G.

At $1,499.99 for the 85-inch screen, this deal is superb value and another big screen, mini-LED to keep your eye on.

The deal on the Hisense U7K (2023) nets you an 85-inch, mini-LED TV for under £1,500 -- what's not to love?

The 85-inch model is likely to deliver similar bright, colorful and realistic looking picture quality and still carries excellent gaming feautres, icluding 4K, 144Hz, VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming. The U7K has been lower before, hitting £1,249 at one stage, but even at £1,495, it's excellent value for an 85-inch screen.

It's also well equipped for gaming with four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K, 144Hz, VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision gaming and features LG's intuitive webOS 24 platform.

The Samsung QN800D is an 8K TV that delivers incredible contrast, color and brightness and realstic textures. Despite a lack of 8K content, the QN800D works wonders with 4K sources too, giving them even more detail. It's also stacked with gaming features. Still a premium, this deal takes the 85-inch model to £3,999, which is cheaper than some 83-inch OLEDs. So if you want something really different, the QN800D is worth a look.
