Several Samsung TVs on sale have already been marked as Black Friday deals, and we expect more to quietly pop up in the coming weeks. Here are our favorites so far:

Best early Samsung Black Friday deals

Best QLED deal

$1,999.99 at Samsung (save $1,300)

Best Neo QLED deal

Samsung TV with purple abstract liquid screensaver

Best OLED deal

Samsung's Black Friday sale is already live, apparently — at least on the TV side of things. But you wouldn't know that from glancing at the website.

Rather than any mention of early Black Friday deals on the home page, several of the brand's 2023 QLED, Neo QLED, and OLED releases have quietly been christened with a red or blue "Black Friday deal" tag. Many other Samsung TVs are still on sale for Samsung Week, but not confirmed at Black Friday prices. The sale prices with the tag, however, are very believably Black Friday-ish. Discounts range from 26% to 42% off, which shakes out to $1,000 to $2,000 off in some cases — most being even further discounts than the already-good sale prices we've been seeing from Samsung when tracking the best TV deals from all brands for the week.

As far as we can tell, there's not a way to sort deals by the Black Friday tag alone. Maybe there's some sort of science behind consumer behavior when they feel like they've stumbled across a magical early Black Friday deal when they weren't looking for one. At any rate, we've gone through and pulled them all out here:

Why we like it

Of the handful of 80-or-more-inch Samsung TVs on sale this week, we think the opportunity to snag the 85-inch Q80C QLED for under $2,000 is the best bang for your buck.

The Q80C is Samsung's most advanced QLED before meeting the more expensive Neo QLED side of the family, still packing nearly 100 local dimming zones for the meticulous pixel-by-pixel brightness necessary for watching sports in the daylight. The Q80C is also a stellar gaming TV complete with advanced gaming features like a 120Hz refresh rate and VRR support.
