These days, it’s more important than ever to have the very best television for viewing all those new, classic, or otherwise favorite shows and movies. The good news: It’s Black Friday season and the deals to end all deals on everything from Samsung’s famous Frame TV to Sony’s latest models are already live.
Okay, so what even makes a great TV to begin with? There are a few key terms to look for when shopping this week. For instance, OLED (organic light-emitting diode) is the latest and greatest in TV technology and is usually worth the splurge, even over many tried and true LED models. But if you’re really in the market for the best bang for your buck, going for the highest resolution isn’t necessarily beyond budget right now. There are a number of 4K LED TVs that, as the name suggests, are four times the resolution of your typical HD displays.
But we already know you probably haven’t got the time to worry about which tech acronym to care about the most; you simply want the best TV at the best price. We’ve gone ahead and done the research for you, so all you have to do is scroll, compare our picks with your budget, and score the best TV for all your viewing needs this coming year.
