FAQs
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday kicks off on Monday, Dec. 2. It follows Thanksgiving and Black Friday as a day of major sales.
Are TVs really cheaper on Cyber Monday?
They absolutely can be! Televisions are one of the few electronics categories that offers regular, predictable sale seasons throughout the calendar year, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday being one of the most prominent. Big brands like Sony, LG, and Samsung usually have their biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season, but it’s not uncommon to also find summer sales on high-end TVs as well as budget-friendly models from TCL and Hisense.
In terms of which day will have the best TV deals, in the past, we’ve seen TVs typically have the better deals on Black Friday, though this year, many Black Friday deals have lasted through Cyber Monday. Since prices fluctuate throughout the long weekend, if you see a big drop, we recommend picking it up quickly before it goes out of stock. You can check sites like CamelCamelCamel to see price histories.
How to shop for TVs safely on Black Friday and Cyber Monday
On Friday, Nov. 29, the FBI issued a warning advising consumers to stay diligent during the Black Friday shopping weekend. The organization gave tips on browsing the web for deals, including checking each website’s URL to make sure it’s legitimate, don’t click any suspicious links or attachments in emails, on websites, or on social media, and checking your credit card statement regularly to spot any suspicious transactions.
And, when in doubt, if a deal from a random website seems too good to be true, it probably is.
How did we choose these Cyber Monday 2024 deals?
Black Friday is prime time for scammers and resellers. Each deal on this list has been vetted as being sold and shipped by reliable retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. I’ve also avoided ultra-budget brands like Onn and Vizio, as the discounts are negligible at the time of writing, and these brands don’t offer the same quality TVs as even TCL or Hisense.
What is the best TV?
ZDNET’s resident TV experts have tested and researched dozens of models from just as many brands, and we all agree that the Samsung S95D OLED is the best TV you can buy right now. With an updated OLED panel for a more lifelike picture, a 120Hz refresh rate, object tracking sound, and a dedicated gaming dashboard with cloud gaming support.
OLED vs QLED: Which should you pick this holiday season?
Based on the OLED TVs we’ve tested, we’ve found that they offer better picture quality, including higher contrast, truer color accuracy, and deeper blacks than QLEDs. However, what works best for you might depend on your viewing environment and individual needs. For more details and advice on how to choose which is right for you, check out our full OLED vs. QLED explainer.
What should I look for in a TV?
Once you’ve hammered out a budget for your next TV, there are a few other important factors to consider:
- Brand integrity: It’s tempting to pick up that ultra-cheap TV during a sale event from a no-name brand. But you may end up paying more to replace it in a few years (or months) if it was built with cheap components or stops receiving over-the-air firmware updates. No matter which brand of TV you choose, make sure that the company offers industry-standard return and exchange policies as well as clear options for customer service.
- Smart features: Not all smart TVs are created equal, with premium options from brands like LG and Sony offering OLED panels for incredible picture quality as well as quality-of-life features like built-in voice controls and pre-loaded suites of streaming apps. Make sure the TV you have your eye on has all of the smart features you need to keep up with your favorite shows and movies.
- Reasons to upgrade: It seems like every year, TV brands refresh their model lineups. Sometimes, those refreshes introduce cool new options like Samsung’s object tracking sound and cloud gaming support. Others are more subtle upgrades like improved QLED panels and speakers or new app support. Before you drop a whole paycheck on a new TV, make sure it offers enough reasons to upgrade to make it worth the price.
What types of TVs should I avoid this holiday season?
When you’re considering what type of TV you should buy or avoid during Cyber Monday shopping, consider the following:
- Don’t buy a TV based on the brightness specs: Brightness specs matter less than how well your TV uses those specs to adjust to different types of light in a room.
- Don’t buy a TV based on the brand name alone: TV specs can vary widely within brand names. Look to the details in terms of specs and features you want most, rather than the brand itself.
- Don’t be afraid of buying last year’s model (it probably has a bigger discount): TV upgrades can be incremental from year to year, and there’s a good chance that a 2023 model is still an excellent choice for far less money than the 2024 one.
Is 75 inches and above too big for a TV?
The right size TV for you totally depends on your space and preferences. If you have a family room or viewing room with a lot of wall space, a 75-inch or greater TV could work extremely well for you. If you’re debating going for a 98-inch TV, we might recommend considering an 85-inch one for now — the 98-inch versions tend to be far more expensive, and are expected to drop in price as they get more popular in the coming years.
