It’s Black Friday! Here are the best deals on Amazon so far:
After a weird, month-and-a-half-long limbo period following its rescheduled Prime Day event, Amazon’s 2020 Black Friday sale is in full swing — and there’s no shortage of good deals, to say the very least.
The online retailer’s holiday savings event is scheduled to last through Black Friday proper on Nov. 27, though you can count on many discounts carrying over through the weekend to Cyber Monday. Bear in mind that some of its daily deals will only stick around for 24 hours or while supplies last, so put some hustle into your purchase if something on your shopping list gets a decent discount. (See: The AirPods Pro, which dropped to a record-low $169.99, and Nintendo’s new Switch system bundle.)

Anyhoo, we don’t want to keep you from the sale a moment longer — without any further ado, here’s a master list of the best Black Friday deals we’ve seen on Amazon as of Nov. 27 at 1 p.m. EST. (We’ll keep updating this list as its sale continues, so be sure to check back often.)
TV DEALS
Our top pick: TCL 40-inch 1080p Smart LED Roku TV
Boasting a 4.6/5-star rating from Amazon customers (with nearly 27,000 reviews!), this 2019 Roku smart TV is said to be an amazing display for the price — and right now, it’s even cheaper than usual. You can get it on sale on Amazon for only $179.99, or a 40% off its $299.99 MSRP.
