Boxing Day TV sales 2021: the best deals on cheap 4K TVs and OLED sets

The Boxing Day TV sales went live at the crack of dawn, so the popular ones have already been selling like warm cups of mulled wine on a cold December 26. There are absolutely loads to choose from though, and we’re not seeing many sell out just yet.

Most shops in the UK actually launched their end-of-year promotions early – we received countless ‘Boxing Day sales’ emails in our inboxes during Christmas Day – including shops like Currys, AO.com and John Lewis, and some manufacturers like Samsung.

To stop you having to trawl through loads of websites to find a TV deal that’s right for you, we’ve rounded up all the best discounts, including on our favorite sets and models you should consider buying.

In past years, you’d have to scramble to get up early on a dark December morning to beat out the crowds, but this year many shops aren’t opening their doors at all, and you have to find the best Boxing Day sales from the comfort of your home.

Right now, we’ve got a few top recommendations from the likes of Amazon, Currys, and John Lewis – and this list will steadily grow as more sales get underway throughout the day. The good news is we’ve already seen a lot of prices much lower than last week – including a few record-breaking discounts on everything from super cheap 4K TVs to premium QLED and OLED displays.

Save £100 – You can snag a £100 discount on this 55-inch Hisense TV which brings the price down to a new record-low. As far as budget 4K TVs go, Hisense still manages to create affordable sets without compromising too far on picture and audio quality – as we found in our review. It’s definitely not going to compete with the high-end OLED and QLED TVs, but it’ll offer a satisfactory viewing experience when streaming films, watching TV shows, and more.

TCL C72 55-inch 4K HDR QLED TV: £799 £603 at Amazon
Price drop
This TCL QLED has just received a fresh £50 price cut to its already discounted price. The main advantage of choosing a QLED screen is that they offer wider viewing angles and superior brightness, so if your TV is going into a big room that receives a lot of light you will be able to get a much clearer picture. TCL has established itself as a low-cost alternative to the likes of Samsung and LG while still producing some well-made sets, so this is a more affordable way to pick up a QLED screen on a lower budget.

Samsung 50-inch Q60A Series QLED 4K TV: £849 £579 at AO.com
Save £270 –
Here’s an absolutely amazing price on the Samsung Q60A series QLED TV, courtesy of the AO.com Boxing Day sale. This is the cheapest price yet on Samsung’s excellent entry-level QLED – a display that has Samsung’s Crystal Processor 4K for great upscaling and superb brightness. For casual viewing, it’s a stellar choice – although gamers who want 120Hz at 4K will want to go for either the Q70A or Q80A.

Boxing Day TV sales: 60-85 inch deals

JVC Fire TV Edition 65-inch 4K TV: £599 £449 at Currys
Price drop –
Though there are less expensive options available, the JVC Fire TV is a good value for money as it comes with a number of premium features that the cheaper sets lack. As well as a solid 4K image quality, you also get HDR and Dolby Vision support that you’ll appreciate when watching films and TV. The Alexa voice remote is a handy final touch so you can control the TV and other compatible devices with just a few words. Note, we usually recommend Amazon for this one but it’s all sold out and today’s prices at Currys are actually the cheapest ever across the range.
50-inch: £449 £319 | 55-inch: £499 £369

65-inch Samsung TU7020 4K Smart TV: £629 £529 at Currys

– Curry’s now has this stunning 65-inch 4K TV from Samsung on sale for £529 right now – a while £50 cheaper than the usual discount price. The Samsung set sits squarely between the more expensive LG OLED and budget TCL, and for those after a larger screen with a bit more money to spend, you’ll appreciate the Crystal UHD display and HDR10+ support.

Samsung 65-inch Smart 4K UHD TV: £1,099 £749 at Currys

The 4K Ultra HD TV delivers a stunning picture thanks to the dynamic crystal colour technology and works with Amazon Alexa and the Google Assistant for hands-free control.
75-inch: £1,299 £979

Samsung 65-inch Q70A Series QLED 4K Smart TV: £1299 £1,099 at Currys
Save £200 – We’d recommend the Q70A Series as a great middle-ground between the cheaper TCL and Samsung Q60A series QLEDs and the really pricey Samsung stuff. In particular, the beefy 4K processor and HDMI 2.1 ports in the Q70A make it pretty much the perfect TV to pair up with a PS5 or Xbox Series One since 120Hz at 4K is supported. It’s also really, really bright – fantastic for capturing all the detail needed on those games. Note, this one was just £100 off last week so today’s price drop is absolutely fantastic. 

65-inch LG C1 OLED TV: £2499 £1,679 at AO
Save £820
– Here’s the best price we’ve seen on the 65-inch LG C1 OLED ever. Most other TVs of this size and similar capabilities are at least £2000, so that shows just how much you’re saving here. This premium set features high in our list of best TVs you can buy, especially for those looking to experience 4K gaming at 120Hz on the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Note, today’s price is a whole £100 cheaper than last week – which was already the record at this size!

You’ll find plenty more where that came from, we’re rounding up the best Currys Boxing Day sales and there’s also a John Lewis Winter sale as well.
