TV deals always get people excited during major shopping events, and that’s because you can usually find massive discounts on the biggest and best sets from brands like Samsung, LG, Philips, Sony Bravia, and more. There are plenty of decent TV deals on Prime Day and around Christmas, but nothing comes close to Black Friday.
Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) is famous for impressive TV deals, so if you’re looking to upgrade, these sales are a good place to start.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday began in the U.S., but seems to be taking on greater significance every year in the UK.
Since the 1950s, shops in the U.S. have offered impressive deals on the day after Thanksgiving to kick-start the Christmas shopping season. In 2013, Asda had a Black Friday sale on this side of the pond, and offered deals on a wide range of goods. Other retailers jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon the following year, and the rest is history.
We collectively spent £435 million in 2013, when the concept was still in its infancy in the UK. Nowadays we spend billions — the highest total in Europe. Black Friday is clearly a very different beast compared to just a few years ago, and this trend is set to continue in 2022.
When is Black Friday in 2022?
While Black Friday proper falls on Nov. 25 this year, retailers will start trickling out their deals much sooner. Black Friday really lasts from mid October all the way through to December.
Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday — what’s the difference?
Scoring a great deal on Black Friday once meant camping out at a retailer in the middle of the night right as the store opened. But once online shopping became mainstream, online retailers wanted a piece of the Black Friday pie. Cyber Monday was born thanks to people of the early 2000s wanting the best possible internet connection to do their shopping. At the time, office computers had better broadband than home setups, causing people to wait until work on Monday to do all their online shopping. In 2005, the NRF debuted the term Cyber Monday and we’ve been online shopping after ever since.
Last year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales effectively bled together since in-person shopping wasn’t really a thing. We’ll almost certainly see that repeat this year.
What TV deals will we see in 2022?
Everyone gets excited about TV deals, and that’s because a bunch of leading retailers tend to offer massive discounts on all the most popular brands. We’re expecting big deals on TVs from the likes of Sony Bravia, Hisense, LG, and many more top brands. You should be able to find deals on small screens, enormous 8K models, and everything in between. So whatever you’re looking for, there should be something for you during Black Friday.
All leading technology retailers start dropping deals from the start of November (or sooner). The likes of Amazon, Currys, and Argos have a history of posting impressive TV deals, but it isn’t just these retailers. Pretty much every site will offer some big savings during this busy shopping season, so if you don’t see what you are looking for from one retailer, remain calm and move onto the next. Patience is key during this hectic shopping season.
4K and 8K TVs will probably feature in plenty of deals over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and we have already seen lots of discounted TVs on Amazon.
Where can you find the best TV deals in 2022?
The best retailers to consider if you’re looking to invest in a TV are the names you would expect. There are no big surprises here, but these are the retailers you should check out for the best deals during Black Friday:
-
Amazon — This massive online retailer is always a hit on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and it should probably be your first option when it comes to TV deals. You can find absolutely everything on the site, including popular models like Philips Ambilight and Samsung 8K TVs.
-
Argos — Won’t have the range of deals that the likes of Amazon and Currys will offer, but you can often find little gems on Argos. We recommend keeping a close eye on Argos if you’re looking for deals on smaller sets.
-
Currys — Currys PC World offers genuine competition to Amazon when it comes to TV deals, and we’re expecting another battle in 2022. You should be able to find plenty of deals on all the biggest brands, including Toshiba, Panasonic, and TCL.
-
John Lewis — This might not seem like the most obvious place to find TV deals, but there are always plenty of offers to consider on top brands. Plus, John Lewis is normally one of the best retailers when it comes to warranties, which is useful if you’re spending big this Black Friday.
There are going to be absolutely loads of deals elsewhere, but you are going to save yourself a lot of time and energy by prioritising these sites.
What were the best TV deals in 2021?
Last year, we saw deals on all the most popular TV brands over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with some seriously big discounts on offer. We’re hopeful for something similar in 2022, and the early signs are good.
Something we saw a lot of last year were deals on 4K TVs, and we expect to see more of the same in 2022. You will once again be able to pick up heavily discounted 4K TVs from all the biggest names. Something we didn’t see a lot of were deals on 8K TVs, but that might change in 2022. There will be a lot of customers looking to upgrade to match next-gen consoles, so 8K technology might be top of wishlists for Black Friday.
We can’t predict exactly what will happen this year, but if you want to keep track of all the best TV deals, you should bookmark this page. We will be feeding you all the best deals throughout Black Friday, so you can walk away with the biggest discounts on everything on your wishlist.
