Is there a best time of year to buy a TV?

[BaublesBob]

My TV is on its way out. It's 14 years old and the apps are slowly being unsupported- no Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube etc. I can only have Freesat.

I'd like to buy a new one at some point. Is there a time of year when they are best value? It used to be the Boxing Day sales but I'm not sure that's a thing anymore.

I don't need the newest model so the most recent but one is fine.

Black Friday sales

Depends what you are looking for but we have bought this this week for our bedroom- bargain!

Are the Black Friday sales just a gimmick though, with inflated prices in advance?

If you want to use the apps before you replace it, you could always get a fire stick.

Thanks @Housewife2010 - DH said the same but I'm too lazy for fiddling with multiple remotes and things. I need to point and press. Picture quality could probably do with an upgrade anyway.

This one was £1k in 2009 so it has been good value and served its time.

We have a google TV box (£40-60) that we plug into our TV and it has revolutionised our viewing for minimal cost.

They're cheap all year round these days. That one for £90 for a 32" posted above is ridiculous value.

You could have also made your existing tv into a Smart TV by adding a £30 Roku stick.

If you have a specific model in mind, check the prices online and then see if Richer Sounds can beat it. I found the TV I liked reduced in Costco, and tried my luck with Richer Sounds as they offer a price match. They came back with an even lower price than Costco's. They usually offer a free extended guarantee as well. I wouldn't buy electronics anywhere else now. And just for clarity, I definitely don't work there.

Buy an Amazon Firestick when they're reduced and TV anytime they're fairly cheap because there hasn't been any new technology recently

I just went Richer Sounds and bought the one with no extras. £100

Costco or amazon prime day maybe

Thank you. I didn't think of Richer Sounds. I'm looking for at least 55/60" as it's a large room. The current one is 55" and it doesn't look out of place.

Keep an eye on HUKD for bargains.
