Looking for new LED TV suggestions (50-60”)

I’ve done quite a bit of reading on new TV tech as of late but OLED is a bit more than I’d like to spend right now.

I had my eye on this 55 inch Sony X900H at Costco but seems like it’s been OOS for a while.

I don’t necessarily need a new TV now, I have heard that Black Friday week has some good deals, but I’ve also heard that a lot of electronics sold during Black Friday are lower quality products intended to be sold at a sale price, not sure if that’s still true.

I’m open to TV suggestions if it’s a good time to buy right now.

But they don't want to overstock, particularly now in uncertain times, so they will run out of the more popular models before Christmas. The best time to buy is early in that month before Christmas, when the model you want is in stock, and you can buy it from a retailer that offers 30-day price adjustment. Then watch the sales carefully for those 30 days.

Many retailers stock up on a few cheap models to offer headline sales on Boxing Day, but you are correct that those are typically low-end. Also note that most retailers won't price match or price adjust based on Boxing Day sales, even if you found a sale on your chosen model.

There are some pretty good looking LCD sets these days. The new Samsung QLED Neo models with FAD (full array dimming) look almost as good as OLED in the store - but they cost even more!

Or else like above poster say wait till Black friday/boxing day since most likely the price offered at those times will be the lowest you'll be able to easily find. TVs could be priced lower than the black friday/ boxing day prices, BUT it'll be at end of model year blow out when there are a few left, which means you'll have to be lucky/at the right place and right time to get one.
