Black Friday deals are off and running, and there are big discounts to be had on some of the best budget mini-LED TVs TechRadar has tested in 2025. If you’re looking for a TV that’s bright enough to look great in a well-lit room, but also delivers deep, OLED-like blacks when you dim the lights for movie time, plenty of great options abound.

Today's best Black Friday TV deals

The TCL QM7K yielded incredible peak brightness when we tested it, measuring nearly 2,500 nits. TCL's Halo Control Technology also does a great job of minimizing backlight blooming, a common artifact on mini-LED TVs.

The Hisense U75QG is another mini-LED that had excellent brightness numbers when we tested it. Its picture quality is great out of the box, and it's also an impressive gaming TV, with 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and an ultra-low 9.8ms measured input lag.

While not as bright as the TCL and Hisense TVS, the Roku Pro series offers a higher level of refinement with its 'shadowbox' design, and is a great option for wall-mounting. The Pro Series also has impressive built-in speakers, and it's another strong option for gaming, with 4K 120Hz support and an ultra-low 9.8ms measured input lag.

These are all limited-time Black Friday deals on some of the best TVs, offering a significant discount on the list price. If you’re in the market for a set with way better than average picture quality but don’t want to shell out the big bucks that the best OLED TVs demand, these TCL, Hisense, and Roku deals are all highly recommended.
