Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Wondering what the best TV deals are at the moment? We’ve got you covered. These are the biggest discounts we’ve found online.
Samsung QN95D 55in 4K smart TV: Was £1,699, now £1,499 plus a free soundbar, Samsung.com
Samsung is giving away a free soundbar worth up to £400 with select TVs from now until Black Friday. The 55in QN95D uses Samsung’s “neo QLED” pixel technology, which offers improved contrast, inky dark blacks and vibrant image quality versus LED panels – the similar QN90D appears in our round-up of the best 4K televisions of 2024.
Samsung QN88D 4K Neo QLED smart TV, 55in: Was £1,099, now £899, Amazon.co.uk
The Samsung QN88D launched earlier this year and has since fallen by £600. Usually priced around £1,099, there’s now an extra £100 off at Amazon. The 55in set offers a smooth 120Hz picture and Samsung’s luscious and vibrant Neo QLED 4K display.
LG C3, 48in: Was £1,499.99, now £899, Reliant.co.uk
The excellent LG C3 is now cheaper than ever. The newer LG C4 launched earlier this year, but the heavily discounted 2023 model is the best bargain in televisions right now. The 48in 4K smart TV offers superb OLED picture quality, and savings are available across all sizes at Reliant, from the 42in model (also £899, Reliant.co.uk) to the wall-filling 83in model (£3,299, Reliant.co.uk)
Amazon Fire TV 55in Omni QLED series 4K TV: Was £749.99, now £519.99, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon’s own-brand television, the Fire TV is a great deal even at full price. They come in three flavours. The cheapest 2-series is 1080p only, the 4-series moves up to 4K, while the top-end omni adds QLED display tech for richer contrast and vibrancy. Here’s a 31 per cent discount on the 55in omni, which brings the price of the set down to just £519.99.
Philips ambilight 55in OLED759 smart TV: Was £1,499, now £999, Amazon.co.uk
There’s 33 per cent off this 55in OLED smart TV from Philips, which uses rear-facing, colour-changing lights to illuminate your walls in sync with whatever’s happening on screen, creating an immersive, cinematic effect. This model is compatible with Alexa and Google smart home systems and comes with all of the major streaming services installed, like BBC iPlayer, Disney+ and Netflix.
Hisense 50E6NTUK 4K smart TV, 50in: Was £499, now £279, Amazon.co.uk
This 50in 4K TV from Hisense has a £220 discount at Amazon right now, the cheapest we’ve ever seen this model on sale for. It’s a great all-rounder with a voice remote and is compatible with Google, Amazon and Apple smart home setups. You’re unlikely to find a better-value 4K TV right now.
Amazon Fire TV 2-Series 1080p smart TV, 40in: Was £299.99, now £219.99, Amazon.co.uk
The 40in version of the Amazon Fire TV 2-series is great value if you want an affordable smart TV and you’re happy with the slightly lower 1080p resolution, which at this display size is barely noticeable anyway. The Amazon Fire TV interface is among the best around, the TV comes with a voice remote and it has the full roster of streaming services built in.
What TV deals can we expect this Black Friday?
Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but we have a good idea of what discounts we can expect to see. The retailers to keep the closest eye on will be Amazon, Currys, Argos and AO, which tend to offer discounts of hundreds or even thousands of pounds off sets from top brands.
Most of the major manufacturers have launched a full suite of new TVs since last year’s Black Friday sale, but we’d always recommend looking at previous generation models to find the best bargains. One of the best 4K TVs around, the LG C4 (£1,299, Currys.co.uk) launched in March at £1,099 for the smallest 42in model. We’re already seeing price drops on that set, but if you can find the older LG C3 in stock you’ll be getting a very similar TV at clearance prices. We found an £899 deal on the 48in LG C3 at Reliant (£899, Reliant.co.uk).
