Black Friday and Cyber Monday

The day after Thanksgiving, widely known as Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, which always falls on the Monday following the holiday, are typically the best times to buy a TV, according to Trae Bodge, a shopping expert with TrueTrae

“The best time to buy TVs is over Black Friday and Cyber Monday,” Bodge told U.S. News & World Report. “The discounts will be very deep, especially on last season’s models.”

Days Before the Super Bowl

If you didn’t score a new TV around the holidays, don’t worry. There’s likely a chance to find a good deal prior to the game. 

“Right before the Super Bowl is another time for TV deals,” Bodge told the outlet. “People want to see the big game on the best screen possible, and many retailers will offer promotions around that time.”

According to IGN, retailers have replenished their inventory after the holidays and have good availability ahead of the Super Bowl, and shoppers could see “great savings.”
