Many, many more Black Friday ads have come out since our last roundup, so we’re back with a new batch of top TV picks for 2015. Walmart and Target are currently leading the pack with screens both big and small, but who will ultimately take the top spot? Be sure to bookmark this page; you never know when a new ad will knock one of these off the list!

The Best Black Friday TV Deals

  • Westinghouse 55″ 1080p LED HDTV for $250 at Target
    Target has taken an early lead with this deal, providing us with the doorbuster to beat. We predicted that a 55″ off-brand TV doorbuster would be around $379, and this offer handily beats that price. But not all the credit can go to Target, since Meijer also offers an Element 55″ TV for the same price.
  • Toshiba 49″ 1080p LED HDTV for $150 at Best Buy
    Off-brand or no, $150 is an awesome price for any 49″ TV. In fact, this set beats out Meijer for the cheapest 49″ HDTV we’ve seen advertised so far, and it’s about to become the best deal in over a year for any TV in this class by $25.
  • Vizio 70″ 1080p Smart LED HDTV for $898 at Walmart
    This is the mega big-screen TV doorbuster we’ve been waiting for! Prior to this, the cheapest 70″ TV we’ve ever seen went for $1,198, and this Vizio will check in at $300 less than that. It’s also well below our prediction, which makes this the big-screen deal to beat this season.
  • Samsung 55″ Curved 4K UHD Smart TV for $998 at Walmart
    While we have seen a Samsung 55″ curved 4K TV drop to $900 twice during the summer, this is only the third TV with those specs to drop below $1,000. (Sears will have one for a couple bucks more.) This model currently sells for $100 more on Amazon.
  • TCL Roku 32″ 720p Smart HDTV for $125 at Walmart
    We haven’t seen many deals on the Roku TV yet, and as such it hasn’t dropped lower than $180 so far. When you combine that with the fact that our prediction for an average 32″ Black Friday deal was $130, this is a pretty solid offer.
  • Samsung 60″ 1080p LED Smart HDTV for $698 at Target or Best Buy
    Just barely edging out a Sears ad, Target’s and Best Buy’s Samsung big-screen sets will beat our average price prediction for name-brand 60″ TVs on Black Friday by a whopping $77.
  • Element 55″ 4K LED UHD Smart TV for $400 at Target
    Here’s yet another deal that beats even our wildest doorbuster predictions. We’d previously said that $425 would be the best price for a 4K TV in 2015. Target can claim the cheapest advertised 4K price for the moment, but we’ll see if it hangs onto that crown on Black Friday.
  • Westinghouse 32″ LED HDTV for $100 at Target or Kohl’s
    Although it’s worth noting that 32″ doorbusters will almost certainly hit $70 this year, these ads from Target and Kohl’s are tied as the cheapest 32″ sets we’ve seen so far. Better yet, they’re already $10 under the best price we’ve seen for this size class in over a year.
  • Samsung 40″ 1080p WiFi LED Smart HDTV with $90 in Kohl’s Cash for $320 at Kohl’s
    Assuming you’ll use the $90 bundled credit, this deal is set to become the cheapest Samsung 40″ 1080p HDTV we’ve ever seen. Better yet, it beats out the next best ad (from Walmart) by a whopping $68.
  • Samsung 60″ 4K LED UHD Smart TV for $800 at Best Buy
    Let the name-brand 4K TV price wars commence! This Samsung set is clearly taking aim at Dell’s $800 Vizio in the same class. No matter which HDTV you opt for, you’ll be scoring the cheapest name-brand 60″ 4K set ever, by at least $100.
