A lot of the deals on Black Friday are actually cheaper quality products. A TV specially made to be cheaper than the regular model. Less HDMI ports, lower quality parts. And the item/model number is slightly different.
I got a smart TV about 10 years ago on Black Friday. It was fine until a few years the screen "bruised". Everything now has a purple hue and that is the "guest" tv. No other lcd tv I've had has had the same issues.
I had a TV do that. The LED backlight was dying. It cost me £10 and an hour or 2 to fix.
Some are more of a pain than others to fix, but it's worth checking out.
