Black Friday is supposed to start at the end of the month, but Best Buy’s Black Friday deals are already here.

TV Deals

Read our Best TVs guide for more details and recommendations.

This is our top TV recommendation if you’re looking for the best bang for your buck. The Hisense U8K (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a mini-LED display that delivers excellent black levels, and it comes with a Google TV interface that’s easy to use. There’s a 120-Hz screen refresh rate for gaming and decent speakers. The feet are on the ends though, so you’ll want to mount it or pair it with a long TV stand.

If you’re in a bright room and you don’t want to get black-out curtains, then this TV will satisfy (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The mini-LED backlighting gets bright so it can squash the glares from the window. There’s a center pedestal stand, so it’ll work on any media console, plus a 120-Hz screen refresh rate for fast-paced games.

This deal is just $3 more than the best price we’ve tracked for the LG C3 OLED. The set is the Best TV for gamers thanks to its super-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate and 9.1 millisecond response time. True to LG OLED models, the black levels are perfection and far deeper than any TV in this list.

We’ve been fans of TVs with Roku’s interface for a while, and Roku’s in-house line makes our favorite entry-level TV. For the price, WIRED editor Parker Hall was impressed with the picture and color on the screen. It doesn’t have the best refresh rate for gaming, but otherwise, it’s hard to beat at this price (especially on sale). It was even more expensive earlier in the week.

Tech Deals

Read our Best Android Phones and Best Wireless Earbuds guides for more.

The Google Pixel 7A (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite Pixel phone and the best Android phone for most people. It has great value when it’s full-price, so this discount makes it extra enticing. It’s snappy, powerful, water-resistant, and capable of charging wirelessly. The camera is great too.

We’ve seen this deal before, but this is still a solid price for the Google Chromecast (8/10, WIRED Recommends). The gadget is a good pick for cord-cutters and specifically for people with 1,080p TVs. The interface is nice (it includes a remote) and there’s even built-in Google Assistant. Just keep in mind that you may have to manually clear the cache frequently since there’s not a lot of onboard storage.

The Google Pixel Tablet (7/10, WIRED Recommends) is a fantastic Android tablet, especially with the included charging dock—which doubles as a speaker. Every capacity and color is on sale right now. The performance and screen are both great for the price, but we wish the battery life and available accessories were better. You can set up to eight user profiles, so anyone in the family can use it with their own apps and home screen.

The Google Pixel Buds Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) are truly excellent earbuds. They’re featured in our list of the Best Wirefree Earbuds as the top pick for Android phone users. This deal price matches the lowest we have seen. With punchy bass, a comfortable fit, and solid battery life, it’s hard to find a better pair of headphones for the money.

The SonyLinkbuds (8/10, WIRED Recommends) have a unique design with a hole in the middle, which allows the wearer to hear what’s going on around them. The earbuds have a comfortable fit, even for small ears, and we like the various control options in the companion app and on the headphones themselves. For a more traditional design, check out the Sony LinkBuds S on sale for $130 ($70 off). That deal is available at Best Buy, Amazon, and Target.

We love the Beats Fit Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends). They’re some of the Best Wireless Headphones for Workouts. While they’re better if you use an iPhone, the headphones are still compatible with Android devices. The fit is comfortable, the sound quality is top-notch, and the noise canceling and microphones perform well to boot. They were $20 cheaper earlier in the week, but this deal is still alright.

The Fitbit Charge 6 (7/10, WIRED Review) is the newest version in the Charge lineup. Its predecessor remains our favorite fitness tracker, but this price is the best we’ve seen for the newest model. The companion app leaves a bit to be desired, there’s no fall detection, and Bluetooth connectivity is glitchy. You should also be aware that to access every feature, you’ll need a Fitbit Premium subscription that costs $10 per month. (A free 6-month trial is included with your purchase.) With all that being said, especially at this price, the Fitbit Charge 6 is a simple and focused fitness tracker with a pretty robust suite of health metrics.

The Turtle Beach Recon Cloud is an honorable mention in our Best Mobile Gaming Controllers guide. We’ve seen it drop to $25 before, but this is still a good deal price. The Xbox-branded controller supports Xbox Cloud Gaming and Remote Play, plus it’s compatible with Android and Windows devices. Programmable buttons and customizable sensitivity settings are a plus.

Smart Home and Kitchen Deals

Read our Best Video Doorbells and Best Smart Displays guide for more recommendations.

The Google Nest Hub Max (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is our favorite smart display for a lot of reasons—the 10-inch touchscreen display, the solid speakers, and the camera features, to name a few. It also doubles beautifully as a digital photo frame if you’re a Google Photos user.

The Echo Show 5 is typically overpriced at $90, but the deal price of $40 matches the best we have tracked. Just keep in mind that it goes on sale quite frequently. We prefer the Echo Show 10 for its larger size, but the smaller footprint of the Echo Show 5 is good for a nightstand or tiny kitchen.

This is a price match of the deals we saw on Prime Day. The Nest Video Doorbell is our favorite smart doorbell. Its reliable performance and solid video resolution place it far and above other similarly priced options.

Nanoleaf’s beautiful wall panels are eye-catching but usually pricey. While this isn’t a spectacular discount, it’s still a good sale to jump on if you’ve got the wall space for these hexagonal wall panels. It was $10 higher than this earlier in the week. Use that $50 to shop around the rest of Nanoleaf’s range of smart lights.

This is an expansion pack, so it’s only worth buying if you already own the required controller and PSU sold with the brand’s Shapes Kits. But if you do already have some Nanoleaf Shapes, this is a solid price for some more light-up panels.

This gaming monitor is expensive, and it doesn’t go on sale very often. The Alienware AW3423DW (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is sublime near-perfection. It’s featured as a luxury gaming pick in our guide to the Best Monitors. The image quality and colors are top-notch, and the responsive, immersive screen makes for a fantastic gaming experience. Our review has more details, but suffice it to say that if you’re looking for a curved monitor, it’s hard to beat this one.

The Surface Pro 9 is the Best 2-in-1 Microsoft Surface and one of our favorite tablets in general. This model features the specs we recommend, with even more RAM than is wholly necessary for most people. It also includes the excellent keyboard. The battery doesn’t last as long as we’d like, and there’s no microSD card slot, but the tablet’s performance and display are both smooth and snappy. The deal is priced right, too.

The newest version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just came out. The PlayStation 5 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) regularly sells for $500, so this bundle essentially gets you the game for free. It’s a better deal than buying the two separately. Be sure to check out our guide to the Best PlayStation 5 Accessories and our guide to setting up your new PS5 for additional recommendations.

This is a price match of the discounts we’ve seen on other shopping holidays. It’s still a good deal on an excellent controller, and the price extends to several different color options. Our favorite part about the DualSense controller is the way the haptic feedback works. Rather than random rumbles, you’ll feel directional and immersive feedback—almost like surround sound, but in a controller. Read more about it in our guide to the Best PlayStation 5 Accessories.

It wouldn’t be Black Friday without a KitchenAid stand mixer deal. The 5.5-quart bowl capacity can handle big batches of holiday cookies, dinner rolls, and other goodies. There are 11 speed options and the mixer comes with three attachments (the standard paddle, dough hook, and whisk).
