Best Buy’s ‘Black Friday in July’ sale knocks hundreds off OLED TVs from Sony, LG

While it’s a bit early to be thinking about the holidays, retailers jump on the opportunity to remind us that we’re six months out from the festivities. Black Friday in July sales have been ongoing this month, but Best Buy’s just began and will run through this weekend. A plethora of gadgets have been discounted across the site, but there are a number of sales on TVs that are worth highlighting. Best Buy slashed hundreds off TVs big and small, including some of the latest OLED sets from LG, Sony and Samsung. Amazon’s matching many of the deals, too, so you have options when it comes to where you spend your money. Here are the best smart TV deals we found in Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale.
