55-inch Samsung 4K LED HDTV with HDR Support and a $150 Dell Gift Card for only $599.99
Without a doubt, this is the Black Friday TV deal to beat for 2016. Dell is delivering an incredible price, and the bonus $150 gift card makes the deal even sweeter. If you use the entirety of the gift card on a future purchase, you're effectively only paying $450 for a 2016 model with the most important features: a 4K resolution and HDR support. The rock-bottom low-end models you'll see during Black Friday aren't worth your money — grab this affordable mid-range Samsung instead. (Gift card shows in cart.)
