OLED TVs have some of the best screens you can get. We typically recommend a display that's 55 inches or larger for your main entertainment system, but this 48-inch B4 model from LG is perfect for a bedroom or office. At $800 off, it's a great way to get an OLED screen for less than half the usual price.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale?

Best Buy hasn't announced any set dates for its Black Friday sales this year, although the online retailer has historically launched its official sale about a week before Black Friday, which falls on November 29 this year. If the same pattern is followed, sales should begin around November 22nd. But there are already plenty of early deals available for you to start shopping now.

The savings will continue well beyond November 29th. The Black Friday sale takes us straight into Cyber ​​Week, which starts on Monday, December 2nd. You'll likely see many of the same discounts during Cyber ​​Week and even some brand new offers. However, there is no guarantee that deals live on Black Friday will continue to be available during Cyber ​​Week. So if you see something you like, don't wait.

We expect big price drops in electronics like TVs, laptops and more.
