When is Black Friday 2023 in the UK? Black Friday takes place the day after American Thanksgiving, which falls every year on the final weekend of November. This year Black Friday falls on 24 November. The following Monday 27 November is Cyber Monday, a second sale that was traditionally focused on online shopping, though both sales have long since merged into one weekend-long shopping event. When will the best Black Friday TV deals start in 2023? Black Friday TV deals will officially start on 24 November, though plenty of keen retailers like to jump the gun and start offering discounts earlier in the week. That means we could see Black Friday TV deals appearing as early as 20 November. What were the best Black Friday TV deals from last year? Last year’s Black Friday TV deals saw the prices of top-rated sets fall to their lowest ever prices. The excellent LG C2 (£1,299, Amazon.co.uk ) came all the way down to £899, though this price was only available on the 48in version of the 2022 set. We can expect to see the 2023 model available with a discount this year. A more affordable LG television is the LG 55UQ7500 (£409.99, Amazon.co.uk ). This set dropped in price to £429 in the Black Friday TV sale, though it can now can be found even cheaper at Amazon. An LED screen, it’s not quite as vivid as more expensive OLED sets, but strikes a good balance between price and picture quality. What TV deals can we expect in the Black Friday 2023 sale? Since last year’s Black Friday TV sale, the LG C2 has been updated to the LG C3 (£1,499, Amazon.co.uk ). We’re expecting to see the newest model come down to its lowest ever price this Black Friday. The 55in LG C3 launched at £2,099.99 early in 2023, and like most TVs its been getting cheaper and cheaper as the year goes on. The lowest price we’ve seen was £1,399, which is just £100 cheaper than the current best price at Amazon. Are there any TV deals available now? If you can’t hang around until November to upgrade your TV, or you just want to get an idea of the kinds of deals you can expect to see in the run-up to Black Friday, there are already deals on some of our favourite sets.

Samsung 43in CU8000: Was £749, now £499, Amazon.co.uk (Samsung) The CU8000 is a slightly more advanced version of the CU7100, with improved picture quality, faster response time (so less blur when watching fast-moving video, such as sports) and a slimmer design.

LG OLED evo C3 42in smart TV: Was £1,499, now £999, Amazon.co.uk (LG) One of the best TVs you can buy, the 42in LG C3 can be picked up for less than a thousand pounds at Amazon.
