COVID-19 restrictions are altering many holiday traditions, but this one remains intact: the Black Friday TV deal. Below are five notable markdowns from Walmart.com’s holiday deals section. The sets are a mix of traditional high-definition units and smart TVs.
The biggest price cut you’ll find here is north of $150; the smallest is in the neighborhood of $50. All the featured sets are available via free, two-day shipping. Even if you enjoy the experience of camping outside a big-box store for a holiday deal, you’ll be comforted to know — especially this holiday season — that you don’t have to. All prices in our rundown are current as of publication.
Sanyo 65″ 4K Ultra HD LED smart TV
Usually sold for $498, Walmart says this 65-inch, LED Sanyo smart TV is marked down to $398 — a cool $100 savings. Out of the box, the 4K Ultra HD model FW65R70F is ready to deliver your favorite streaming services and apps, including Netflix, and comes with a Roku remote. If your media diet includes over-the-air TV and cable TV, then you’re set with this set: It offers connectivity with cable boxes, antenna, video-game systems and more.
RCA 50“ 4K Ultra HD LED TV
If you’re in the market for a deal, as well as a TV that just wants to be a TV, then this might be for you. Categorized as a Walmart “special buy,” this 50-inch RCA LED set (model RLDED5098-UHD) has been marked down from $329.99 to $219.99. With 4K Ultra HD resolution, this traditional TV promises a vivid picture. It comes with a remote control, and features a built-in digital tuner and four HDMI ports.

The LED TV features SmartCast, which allows you to watch and discover leading streaming channels and apps, including Netflix.

This 2020 model can run all your streaming services and apps, including Netflix, and help eliminate annoying frame stutters from your gaming experience via a system called Game Enhancer. Its main bragging point is its picture: As opposed to regular, old LED technology, this Samsung model offers QLED, which stands for “quantum dot technology,” and which aims to deliver super-bright colors.
