Top 10 Best Black Friday 2020 Deals
Enlarge /. LG's BX OLED TV is one of the best premium TVs out there.
LG
55-inch LG BX OLED TVs for $ 1,196.99 on Amazon, B&H, and Best Buy (typically $ 1,450): Black Friday brought the expected spate of TV deals, but a standout feature is the all-time low price tag for LG's BX OLED TV, which launched earlier this year. This is the entry-level model into LG's highly regarded OLED TV lineup, so it lacks the brighter panel and more advanced image processor found on LG's CX set, also available for $ 1,400. However, if you're looking to save a few bucks, the BX still offers great 4K image with the great contrast we expect from a premium OLED display. With a 120Hz panel and support for HDMI 2.1 and variable refresh rates, it's also a great choice for those looking to maximize the video output of a new PlayStation 5 or Xbox console.
Sony WH-1000XM4 for $ 278 on Amazon, B&H, and Adorama (typically $ 350): This is the biggest drop in prices we've seen for our current top pick of wireless noise-canceling headphones. Released earlier this year, the XM4 offers a bass-forward sound that is still customizable, an extremely comfortable design, nifty features like a "Speak to Chat" function that automatically pauses your music when you speak, and an active noise cancellation that is close to the best on the market.
Apple AirPods Pro for $ 169.99 on Amazon (typically $ 220): Here's the lowest price we've seen for Apple's premium pair of true wireless earbuds that we've recommended in the past. According to reports, new AirPods will hit the market next year. For now, however, the AirPods Pro are still a major upgrade over the standard AirPods, which are also available for $ 110. They offer a more universal design, a fuller sound and active noise cancellation. The ANC isn't as powerful as the XM4 above, but it's among the best when compared to other fully wireless pairs. And like all Apple headphones, AirPods Pro are a breeze when you pair and use them with iPhones and iPads. Note that this listing appears to be in stock and is out of stock. At this point, however, you should still be able to make a purchase at the discounted price.
Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm) for $ 329.98 on Amazon and Walmart (typically $ 385): It's not flawless, but we believe the new Apple Watch Series 6 is the best smartwatch for iPhone owners thanks to its vibrant, always-on display, useful watchOS software, and fitness-friendly perks like an EKG function and blood oxygen sensor . Just note that it appears that this offer is only for select models. If you don't need those premium health features, the Apple Watch SE has most of the essentials for less money, although we haven't seen any significant Black Friday deals on this device.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (8GB, ads) for $ 84.99 on Amazon (typically $ 130): We believe the Kindle Paperwhite is still the best e-book reader for most people thanks to its sharp display, waterproof and easy-to-hold design, and access to Amazon's extensive Kindle library. While the 8GB model was available for $ 5 less here on Prime Day, this Black Friday deal is the best price we've seen outside of that.
Roku Streaming Stick + for $ 29 on Amazon and B&H (typically $ 45): It's been around for a couple of years, but Rokus Streaming Stick + remains a quick and easy way to stream 4K and HDR apps to any TV (HBO Max aside). AirPlay is now also supported for iOS users. This deal is equivalent to the lowest price we've seen. If you don't mind trading Roku's cleaner UI for Dolby Vision HDR support and better voice search, note that Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is another media streamer we like. it's also dropped to $ 30.
Samsung EVO Select (256GB) for $ 24.99 on Amazon and Samsung (typically $ 32): When you need more storage for your Nintendo Switch, Android phone, or any other device with a microSD slot, Samsung's EVO Select cards are reliable and fast enough for most people's needs. This is the biggest discount we've seen so far for the 256GB variant, although the 128GB and 512GB models are also being offered for new lows. If you'd prefer to pay a bit more for better performance, we can also recommend SanDisk's microSD card for Nintendo Switch, the 128GB model of which has dropped to a shared low of $ 20.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars (Switch) for $ 49.99 on Amazon and Walmart (typically $ 60): As you can see below, there are tons of noteworthy video game deals on this Black Friday. Highlights include the biggest drop in prices for Super Mario 3D All-Stars, the recently released three-pack of classic Mario games: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy. Nintendo could certainly have done more to upgrade the package for HD hardware, but the games themselves are still all-timers. Given the collection will only be on sale until March next year, this is possibly the biggest discount we get. I will ever see
Yubico Security Key NFC for $ 13.50 at Yubico (typically $ 27): We have previously praised the security advantages of hardware-based two-factor authentication. Logging into your accounts with a device like the Yubico Security Key NFC is simply less risky here than relying on SMS-based methods, even if it is a little more laborious to use. This discount is visible at the checkout and marks the best price we've ever seen. If you prefer a form factor with a USB-C or Lightning connector, Yubico is running a separate sale that reduces your order by $ 20 when you buy two YubiKey 5 Series keys.
Sonos Beam for $ 299 on Sonos, Amazon, and Adorama (typically $ 399): The 3.0ch Sonos Beam is not the most widely used device you can buy and it doesn't support Dolby Atmos. For a compact soundbar, however, it offers an impressively neutral and clean sound. It's just as easy to use as any other Sonos speaker and offers the same extensive support for streaming services. It can be easily integrated into an existing Sonos system. This rare $ 100 discount is the lowest price we've ever seen and comes with similar price drops for the Sonos Move portable speaker and Sonos sub-subwoofer.
