Black Friday is almost here and there are some amazing savings to be made on tellies. The RadioTimes.com team has been trawling the web and comparing countless deals on the best smart TVs to help you save time and money this sales season. This guide will be regularly updated with our favourite offers.

First though, it’s worth considering what you should look for when buying a new TV.

First off, there’s not really any need to worry about whether the TV is a ‘smart TV’ now. A few years ago — and perhaps the last time many of us were shopping for TVs — this was a real differentiator. Now, every new television is a smart TV, though some have differing levels of functionality.

Among the best and most popular brands are LG, Samsung and Sony, but plenty of top tech brands make good televisions. Brands like Hisense and JVC currently offer some of the most affordable, value-oriented sets for those on a budget.

The very best TVs out there right now all use OLED technology. An OLED screen offers the best picture possible, with deeper blacks and more vibrant colours than standard LED screens. Then there’s Samsung’s QLED tech, which falls somewhere in between.

Also it’s worth remembering, when choosing a size of TV to buy, that a viewing distance 1.5x the screen size is generally recommended. If you need a little more guidance before choosing a TV, check out our what size TV should I buy article. We also have an article on how to measure a TV screen.

Want to snap up a bargain? You can save save 8 per cent on Toshiba TVs over £299 at AO right now, find plenty of Black Friday TV deals at Currys, or check out more of our favourite deals below.
