I've had a lot of fun testing a batch of the best TVs this year. For Black Friday, at the top-end tier of the market, I've already written about an LG versus Panasonic versus Philips OLED test – and what I'd be eyeing up as the best buy.

But let's face it, many people aren't ready and willing to fork out big sums of money when it comes to buying a new telly. We want quality, we want scale, but we want that small price too – which is why my suggestion for a TV pick under £1000 falls to one of Amazon's own.

But that's not the only brand to be looking out for during the best Black Friday deals. Now that we're really into the thick of the sales weekend, I'd recommend a variety of TCL's sets, too, with the best option also highlighted below, keeping budget front and centre of mind.

So which one wins?

That's the big question! All these sets are great – and they're all either 2024 or 2025 models, too, so you get the latest tech to help improve image quality.

If budget is your biggest lead then the lower-priced Amazon set makes absolutely the most sense. If you're after ease-of-use and have a bit more to spend, then Amazon's Mini-LED is the option.

But if you want something even larger and, frankly, even greater value – despite being more expensive than the Amazon sets – then TCL's offer is an undoubted winner that ought to pull your attention in.
