TV doorbusters during Black Friday are a given at several retailers during Cyber Week. While some nearly identical deals can be found at all of them, Walmart's Black Friday TV deals definitely speak the language of those who want to upgrade on a strict budget.

The $148 50-inch 4K TV from Walmart-owned brand onn. dropped during Walmart's first official Black Friday event of the year perfectly represents what you can expect to find when shopping for a TV at Walmart: the cheapest 4K TV possible at any given size between 50 inches and 70 inches.

Walmart had to come in hot after announcing its Black Friday schedule late — late compared to competitors like Best Buy and Samsung, who have been tagging countless TVs as Black Friday deals since Halloween.

The plan, which kicked off at 12 p.m. ET on Nov. 8 for Walmart+ members (and 3 p.m. ET for everyone else), saw another big drop on Wednesday, Nov. 22. Walmart+ members got early access to that one, too. Now, Black Friday deals are in full swing for everyone. We've been seeing TVs go in and out of stock at Walmart, so if you see a deal you want, snatch it up quickly.

Note: Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Just like Amazon's focus on its own Fire TVs during shopping events, Walmart is using Black Friday as an excuse to plug onn., its own brand of TVs. At less than $150, this 50-inch onn. TV is possibly the cheapest 50-inch TV you'll see all season — just compare that price to any other 50-inch TV deal live right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Walmart is the best place to find a super cheap mid-size 4K TV. Though Walmart does have some of the same deals on premium TVs as Best Buy and Samsung, like on some sizes of Samsung's The Frame, the majority of Walmart's Black Friday TV deals lineup consists of surprisingly low prices on 50-inch to 70-inch TVs from onn., Hisense, and LG that you won't find anywhere else.

Most TVs in both of these price ranges are 4K TVs, so aside from size, the big difference in price probably stems from the backlight:

  • LED is the standard in most budget TVs nowadays. Despite their general affordability across the board, one LED TV can beat another out by incorporating full-array local dimming: a collection of lighting zones that adjust independently across the entire screen. Without those crucial in-between zones, the middle of the screen of many cheaper LED TVs can get a little hazy, falling victim to edge-lit dimming that just can't extend light across with the same oomph.

  • QLED is like LED but better. The "Q" refers to the an extra layer of quantum dots sandwiched between the standard LED panel and the screen to make a wider range of colors pop off the screen with enhanced brightness. The more vibrant picture is ideal for viewing or gaming in bright rooms and for honing in on content with small details, like sports.

  • Mini LEDs are about half the size of regular LEDs, allow manufacturers to pack more LEDs into the same size panel, allowing for more local dimming zones and more precise tweaking of brightness in each area.

  • OLED is generally the most expensive method of lighting a TV screen, and it's a whole different thing than LED, QLED, and mini LED despite a negligible one-letter difference in the title itself. Unlike LED and QLED, OLED doesn't require an external backlight. That's because the pixels (the organic light-emitting diodes that represent the "O" in OLED) emit their own light instead. This is key during dark scenes, when the TV screen needs to get as dark as possible to contrast shadows and make the subjects on the screen legible. While backlit QLED pixels' forced dimming can cause a kind of halo effect around bright objects, OLED pixels can turn off completely. OLED is the best option for streaming or gaming in dark rooms.
