Usually, buy on Black Friday if you want the best mix of TV discounts, model choice, and stock. Boxing Day can still be worth checking, but it is better as a fallback if you missed Black Friday, are not picky about the exact model, or want clearance-style deals after Christmas.

Best practical approach: shortlist 2–3 TVs before Black Friday, track their normal prices, and buy when a genuinely good discount appears. If the Black Friday price is strong and the retailer has a good return or price-match policy, do not wait for Boxing Day just hoping it drops further.

Best for most TV buyers, especially if you want a specific size, OLED/QLED/mini-LED model, or current-year TV.
Buy on Black Friday
You are more likely to see a wide range of discounted TVs while stock is still strong.
Best if you are flexible on brand, size, and features, or if you missed Black Friday.
Wait for Boxing Day
Post-Christmas sales can still be good, but may lean more toward remaining stock and less predictable model availability.
Worth doing if your target TV hits a known low price before Black Friday and the store offers returns or price protection.
Buy earlier only if the price is already excellent
TV deals often start before the actual Black Friday date, so waiting for the exact day is not always necessary.

What could change this answer

Specific TV models may get deeper discounts on one sale day than the other.
Local retailer stock and doorbuster availability can shift the better buying window.
Return, price-match, and clearance policies can make waiting or buying early more attractive.
