The best pre-Boxing Day TV deals
The Boxing Day sales aren’t here yet, but there’s already some great TV deals out there.
These are our favourites TVs on sale right now – we’ve ranked them in order of screen size, rather than price.
1. Panasonic 24-inch TX-G310B HD Ready TV, £169 (save £20) – John Lewis
8
What’s the deal: A nice little £20 discount on a mini-sized television from Panasonic.
Why we love it: Because this is one of the cheapest prices on a new TV out there, and from the immensely reputable Panasonic.
A 24-inch size TV will be too small for most living rooms, but if you’re thinking about adding one to your kitchen countertop, this ideal.
Better still, it’s a great Christmas gift for a kid’s bedroom.
- Panasonic 24-inch TX-G310B HD Ready TV, £169 (save £20), John Lewis – buy here
2. Philips 32-inch PFS6905/05 Full HD HDR TV, £279 (save £51) – Currys
8
What’s the deal: A 15% discount on a 32-inch, Full HD television from Philips.
Why we love it: Because if you’re viewing space is small, and you’re keen to keep your spend to a minimum, this is the perfect choice.
This might not have a 4K screen but honestly, at this size that isn’t a big deal – and it’s still got everything else you would expect from a TV on today’s market, including a streaming platform and a Pixel Plus engine that improves the quality of whatever you’re watching.
- Philips 32-inch PFS6905/05 Full HD HDR TV, £279 (save £51), Currys – buy here
3. JVC 39-inch LT-C3210 HD Ready HDR TV, £229 (save £100) – Currys
8
What’s the deal: A £100.01 price drop on a 39-inch JVC Full HD television.
Why we love it: Because a 30% discount is a pretty hefty one indeed, and it sends this TV right down into budget-friendly territory.
Again, it’s not 4K-quality but at this size that’s no big sacrifice, and it’s still got the built-in platform for you to stream Netflix, Disney+, iPlayer and the like.
- JVC 39-inch LT-C3210 HD Ready HDR TV, £229 (save £100), Currys – buy here

5. TCL 55-inch C720K TV QLED 4K TV, £496.79 (save £202.21) – Amazon
8
What’s the deal: A discount of over £200 on the 55-inch set from TCL’s C720 QLED line.
Why we love it: Because we were worried that all the great QLED TV deals this year all happened during the late-November sales – then this one comes along.
QLED is a type of tech developed by Samsung but sold on to other companies – it improves the quality of 4K by introduced darker blacks and richer levels of contrast.
Picking up a QLED set for less than £500 is still a real win.
- TCL 55-inch C720K TV QLED 4K TV, £496.79 (save £202.21), Amazon – buy here
6. Philips 55-inch 806/12 4K HDR OLED TV with Google Assistant, £1,199 (save £400) – Currys
8
What’s the deal: A chunky 25% discount on one of Philips’s high-end OLED sets.
Why we love it: Make no mistake, this is a pricey television, even when it’s £400 less. But OLED screens are some of the most cutting-edge TV tech available right now.
If you can manage the four-figure spend, we suggest you think in the long-term: consider this a wise investment. It’s going to be many years yet before OLED televisions look remotely out of date.
- Philips 55-inch 806/12 4K HDR OLED TV with Google Assistant, £1,199 (save £400), Currys – buy here
7. Samsung 65-inch TU7020 Crystal UHD 4K HDR TV, £564.40 (save £134.60) – Amazon
8
What’s the deal: A price reduction of almost 20% on a 2021 release from Samsung.
Why we love it: Who doesn’t love a 65-inch television for little more than £500.
The trade-off here is that this is a fairly lower-end television from Samsung: but if you’ve got enough space to justify a TV of this size and you’re in search of a model from the most popular brand on the market, this is perfect for you.
- Samsung 65-inch TU7020 Crystal UHD 4K HDR TV, £564.40 (save £134.60), Amazon – buy here
8. LG 65-inch UP75 4K UHD TV, £549 (save £200) – Amazon
8
What’s the deal: Another deal on a 65-incher, this time from LG.
Why we love it: Again, a TV at this size and this price is a real bargain – especially as it comes from LG, a trusted and respected brand.
The Korean manufacturer has particularly earned accolades for its television’s smooth and easy-to-use smart platforms.
- LG 65-inch UP75 4K UHD TV, £549 (save £200), Amazon – buy here
What are the Boxing Day sales?
The Boxing Day sales are essentially the final sales of the year – and the sales calendar typically ends with a bang.
Traditionally, these post-Christmas sales would see people queuing for outside outside high-street stores, scrabbling for the deals inside.
Although that has changed in recent times, with the boom of online shopping and the ongoing complications of the Covid pandemic.
How long do the Boxing Day sales last?
These are typically very short-term sales, with most retailers running their offers from 24 to 48 hours.
However, it’s also not impossible some stores will simply keep many deals running into the New Year, and there will be little to distinguish the Boxing Day sales from the January sales.
But our advice, should you find yourself a Boxing Day bargain, is to not wait to see if it improves in the year – especially as lots of retailers use this time as an opportunity to clear what little stock is left.
What were the best TV deals in the 2020 Boxing Day sales?
There were a number of A-class TV deals in last year’s Boxing Day sales – so if you missed out during Black Friday in November, don’t despair: we’re confident we’ll see more in 2021.
One definite highlight was the 33% discount on the Samsung 55-inch QEQ60T QLED 4K TV at Very, reducing it to £797 (it’s currently £999).
