"When it comes to buying a new TV during Black Friday, careful prep and a canny eye for detail are everything. Sometimes that big-screen bargain isn't quite the steal you might think, and even if the price is right, niggling problems could sour long-term satisfaction. The Guardian's journalism is independent.

"At the Filter, we believe in buying sustainably, and the excessive consumerism encouraged by Black Friday doesn't sit easily with us. However, we also believe in shopping smarter, and there's no denying that it's often the best time of year to buy big-ticket items that you genuinely need and have planned to buy in advance, or stock up on regular buys such as skincare and cleaning products."
Careful preparation and attention to detail are essential when buying a new TV during Black Friday. Big-screen bargains can be misleading and may have defects that reduce long-term satisfaction. Many people do not need a new TV and should avoid Black Friday FOMO. Buyers should know desired features and reasons before shortlisting models. Sustainable, smart shopping favors buying only genuinely needed big-ticket items during sales. Retailers sometimes clear old stock with offers that are not as good as they seem. Price histories should be checked to confirm genuine discounts, and choices should favour tested or expert-recommended products.
