When I saw this thread title I figured it would be related to a chimp-out... I guess people do chimp out in some places over the "sales".

I think a tv would have to be pretty fucking huge to be able to perceive 32k. Like movie theatre screen. This is just me talking out of my ass basing it on researching 1080 (2k) vs 4K over the years.
I don’t think regular sized household TVs will ever move past 8k.

Don't know how soon you want to buy a TV but they are the lowest right after the Superbowl.
All the overstock goes on sale plus you can buy an Open Box tv that some American Inventor "rented" for the big game only to return it the next day if you want to have something like that in your home that is.
The only good deals for TVs in black Friday are those 3 per store generic brand TVs they sell every year.
I did it in year and got a Westinghouse for my bedroom and it does a good job for the price I paid for it but it is no means a high end TV.

Every year I scour the ads for a single thing I can get excited about to buy and "beat the rush" and wake up early one year just to "live the experience" and grab glory by getting one of the amazing big ticket items.
Every year I end up with new Tupperware set for $20 at 2PM in a Lowe's or Home Depot.

in 2012 Sandy happened and it completely fucked my computer. i dunno how, but after the lights came back on it didnt work for shit. so i had to break out my old OLD IBM Thinkpad and had to get by with that. i immediately knew it wasnt gonna work. so i waited for BF that year and stayed up all night. ran over to Staples and was third in line at 5am. i rushed over to where the PCs were on sale and hooked my self up with a decent at the time HP desktop PC for 280 bucks. only time i ever did that. you can do it too. it just depends on how bad you want it.

The problem is the "at the time". PCs, TVs anything tech really is already outdated on Black Friday. Newegg has a 50inch 4k TV for $200 right now. Yes it is a weird brand and it is probably shit made but it is still a 50 inch 4k TV.
It is like FitBit shit the past few years. The HR used to be $150. Black Friday it went down to $99 and in January $79 and less.
Unless you are buying clothing, yard equipment, tools and patio/home shit you really aren't getting a deal. You are just cleaning stock for the newer model which will also be lower priced than the previous model.
People will flock like hell though to buy that 50 inch smart TV for $300 only to visit a friend 2 months later who bought a 50 inch smart TV with virtual dick sucking feature for $279.
I just bought this. I had a 10% discount from my redcard and there is also a 10% off on the cartwheel along with some gift cards, I got it for 490ish. I read a lot of reviews and this is a good tv. Not best, but not below mid way. I have loved the picture in everything I have watched so far.
It's 65 inches and looks nice. The UI is very easy and so nice to work with.
Don't get a curved tv. Nothing but a gimmick.
Target : Expect More. Pay Less.
