Black Friday TV deals from Walmart, Best Buy and Target
Is now the perfect time to treat yourself to a new TV? COVID-19 restrictions are altering many holiday traditions, but this one remains intact: the Black Friday TV deal. If you want to upgrade your home theater, there is no better time of year and that remains true even in 2020.
During the past nine months of COVID-induced isolation, you've probably consumed more television content than you would have in any other year. Maybe you streamed all 40 seasons of Survivor on CBS All Access. Or maybe you've been getting your nightly dose of satirical news coverage from The Daily Social Distancing Show.
No matter what your chosen flavor of content is, your TV has — for better or worse — become a more essential tool in your home.
Check out these Black Friday TV deals from the retailers that are bringing the biggest and best discounts: Target, Walmart and Best Buy.
