It’s no secret that the Black Friday sales period is one of the best times to go shopping for a new telly, with most retailers offering their sharpest prices for the year. That means it’s the best time to swap out your ageing panel for something modern and fully-featured, especially if the plan is to use it as a gaming display.
With new-gen consoles like the PS5 in good supply and readily available, there’s never been a better time to upgrade and take advantage of things like HDMI 2.1 with support for new technologies like VRR, to get the most out of games such as God of War Ragnarök.
With all that said, you might be navigating the week’s TV deals and wondering just where to start. So let us help you start out with a rough guide to what we think are the best TVs for the best prices during this year’s Black Friday sales:
The Very Best
When we’re talking TVs for gaming, it’s hard to go past the latest in OLED panels for incredible picture, smooth performance and great gaming features with the technologies required to take full advantage of the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Update: The Good Guys/JB Hi-Fi have dropped some insane new offers on the 55″ and 65″ LG G2 OLED TVs:
- LG 65″ OLED 4K EVO Gallery G2 Smart TV 2022 – $3285 (was $4995) plus $70 bonus store credit
- LG 55″ OLED 4K EVO Gallery G2 Smart TV 2022 – $2485 (was $3695) plus $70 bonus store credit
We still reckon LG’s C2 OLED is the king of the pack when it comes to superb OLED performance and features without going completely overboard on price (there’s the superior but pricey G2 for that) and, depending on what size telly you’re after, it happens to be a part of Black Friday sales with the best deals going over at The Good Guys when you factor in the bonus credit for Digital Wallet members:
- LG 42″ OLED 4K EVO C2 Smart TV 2022 – $1388 (was $2295) plus $70 bonus store credit
- LG 83″ OLED 4K EVO C2 Smart TV 2022 – $7995 (was $9995) plus $70 bonus store credit
