My Cart - 
The question that is on the lips of anyone who is looking to buy a TV: just when is the best time to buy a TV? Well, that depends on a whole host of variables, such as the type of TV you’re looking for, the urgency of your TV search, and your budget.
In this article, we aim to give you a real insight into when the best time is to purchase a TV. We will touch upon things like when you can expect various sales to start, which sales are most noteworthy for TV deals and how to prepare for these sales.
Sales
There are plenty of sales going on in different industries throughout the year. Sometimes it can feel like the sales never end, but this guide will give you some rough dates on when the TV industry typically starts its sales. Of course, if you’re looking for a reliable place to find cheap TVs deals 365 days a year, you can always trust Electronic World to offer you the best bargains all year round.
Christmas and January Sales
The best Christmas sales typically start on Boxing Day, which usually brings with it some of the best deals that the year will have to offer, especially when it comes to TVs. Stores save their best bargains until after Christmas Day to encourage consumers to keep buying even after all the presents have been opened. The Christmas and January sales are every industry’s opportunity to get rid of old stock and welcome in the new year with the latest gear.
This is especially true for TVs, as manufacturers historically announce new models in February, meaning that stores are looking to make room for the latest trends by selling off old stock. This means that you can get the best deals on great TVs in the Christmas sales.
If you’re not enthused by the thought of pushing through crowds on the high street during the Christmas sales, don’t forget that you can also find the best deals online from the comfort of your own home.
Summer Sales
The Summer sales aren’t typically as strong as the Christmas sales, but they still offer a great many deals for the consumer who really can’t wait until Winter – whether that’s because you need a better display to watch the latest shows, or if your old TV has broken too far from the Winter sales to wait.
Black Friday or Cyber Monday
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are American traditions that have heavily influenced British shopping trends over the past few years. These sales only last for 24 hours each, but they are some of the best opportunities for cheap TVs every year. Black Friday traditionally features sales on the high street, whereas Cyber Monday will feature tech sales online. TVs could typically go on sale on either or both of these days, so keep your eyes peeled.
Black Friday will be on the 23rd November this year, with Cyber Monday following close behind on November 26th.
Research, Wait, Buy
These are the three golden rules of making the most of the sales, especially when sourcing new technology. First, instead of choosing the most hip and trendy TV, think about what kind of specs you want from your next TV. Decide what kind of display you’re looking for, consider how bright the screen should be and think about size constraints and purpose – for example, are you a light watcher or a gamer?
Research
Once you’ve decided on the specifications that you want, prioritise those needs. It’s quite important to purchase a TV with a high resolution – you might be thankful that you abstained from buying the world’s flattest TV when you’re enjoying some pristine 4K content for a lesser price.
Next, you’ll need to have a look around online and see what the current prices are. This will help you to recognise a good deal when the sales come along.
Wait
Now that you know how much the kind of TV you’re looking for can cost, you need to wait for the sales. You should keep a list of your favourite TV models and check up on them occasionally, but chances are that you’ll save the most money when you buy in the January sales or on Cyber Monday.
Buy
When the sales finally drop, be ready to buy. Some sales don’t last very long, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you’ll want to be ready to make a quick purchase. The best deals may also sell out, but by doing your research ahead of time, you should be strides ahead of those consumers who are still stumbling around on the net, double checking that they really do want a 49” inch screen over a 42”.
If you’re looking for cheap TVs outside of the sales, you can trust us to give you some of the best offers online, all year round. We update our deals regularly offering you savings of up to 75% on high street prices, and unlike other sellers, we don’t wait until the Christmas sales to offer you clearance TVs. Avoid the stress of the sales by buying with Electronic World.
