75 inch TV Cyber Monday Deals 2025?

Totally agree with SheilaMut about the reliability side of things. Those holiday-specific models can definitely be hit or miss with quality control. Honestly, its worth paying a tiny bit more for a standard retail model just for the peace of mind. Just a quick tip on compatibility that gets overlooked: check your cables and your furniture. If you are hooking up a PS5 to a 4K 120Hz screen, your old HDMI cords probably wont cut it. I suggest picking up a Zeskit Maya 8K 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Cable to ensure you actually get the performance you are paying for without flickering issues. Also, measure your TV stand width carefully. These 75 inch panels like the Sony BRAVIA 7 Mini LED 75 inch usually have feet at the very ends. Its a total nightmare to unbox a huge TV only to realize your table is too narrow. Better to check now than on Cyber Monday!

Would love to know this too

Hey,

I was in almost the exact same boat this year, just with a 75" instead of going even bigger. I’ll share what I actually ended up doing and what I’d do if I were aiming at Cyber Monday 2025 with your budget.

So, for context: I grabbed a **75" Hisense U8N** (this year’s U8 series) during the *post* Black Friday / Cyber Monday week. I’d been watching prices for like a month and, honestly, the “headline” Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals were kinda confusing and not always the best.

**What I noticed about 2023/2024 deals (from tracking, not pro-level, just obsessive):**
- 75" **TCL** and **Hisense** high-end models (U7/U8, TCL QM8/Q7) were regularly dropping into your **$1,200–$1,500** zone, sometimes lower with gift cards.
- 75" **Samsung QLED (like Q80/QN85/QN90)** usually sat a bit higher, more like $1,500–$1,800 unless it was a previous-year model.
- **Sony** in 75" at that time of year was basically “pay more for subtle upgrades” territory. Nice, but I couldn't justify it.

For **bright room + PS5 + movies**, my Hisense U8N has been solid:
- Super bright (seriously helps in daylight)
- Dolby Vision + HDR10+ (DV on Netflix/Disney+ looks great)
- Decent motion once I tweaked settings, not perfect, but good enough for me
- Some blooming in tough scenes, but not "awful" like the cheaper edge-lit stuff I saw in stores

On **OLED at 75"**: I’d *love* one, but I personally don’t think we’ll see **good 75" OLEDs around $1,200–$1,500** by Cyber Monday 2025. Maybe some entry-level or heavily discounted older model creeps under $2k, but if you care about brightness in a bright room, a good **Mini-LED/QLED** is probably the safer bet anyway.

**What I’d do in your shoes:**
- Target: **75" Hisense U8 series or TCL Q7/QM8 level**, and previous-year **Samsung QN85/QN90** if it drops into your range.
- Don’t lock only on Cyber Monday. In my case, the **week after** Cyber Monday had the best combo (price + rewards).
- Use price trackers (CamelCamelCamel, Keepa for Amazon; set alerts on Best Buy). I checked once a day the month before BF and noted the lowest price in a simple Google Sheet… super low-tech but it worked.

If you don’t mind: do you lean more toward movies or gaming? If you’re super picky about motion or black levels, I’d maybe prioritize the better local dimming sets (Hisense U8/TCL QM8) over brand name.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask about any specific models you’ve got on your shortlist.

Hey, I was in a similar spot last year and, honestly, I was pretty disappointed with how confusing the 75" deals were. I ended up returning a “doorbuster” set because the specs looked great on paper, but the panel was a cut‑down variant (worse local dimming, lower peak brightness than the real model it was “based on”).

Here’s what I’d do differently for Cyber Monday 2025:

**1. Know the concrete specs to aim for** (bright room + PS5):
- Peak brightness: at least ~800–1,000 nits in HDR (Mini‑LEDs from TCL/Hisense/Samsung usually hit this; cheaper ones sit around 500–600 and HDR looks flat).
- Local dimming: look for 120+ zones at 75". The “holiday variants” often drop to like 40–80 zones → more blooming.
- HDMI: minimum 2x HDMI 2.1 @ 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM. Good PS5 combo.
- HDR formats: you’ll get HDR10+ on Samsung, Dolby Vision on Sony/TCL/Hisense. For movies, DV is really nice to have.

**2. What actually went on sale (2023/2024 patterns)**
- 75" TCL QM7/QM8 and Hisense U7/U8 lines: frequently around $1,000–$1,400 on big sale days. Great brightness, decent local dimming, but motion can be a bit meh if you’re picky.
- Samsung QN90B/QN90C 75": I saw them dip into the ~$1,600–$1,800 range. Outside your target, but much better motion and processing vs budget brands.
- Sony 75" (X90K/X90L class): often around $1,200–$1,500, but unfortunately not as bright and more blooming than I’d hoped, especially in a bright living room.

**3. OLED by Cyber Monday 2025 at 75"?**
In my opinion, 75" OLED at $1,200–$1,500 by 2025 is still a stretch. 77" models have been hanging more around $2,000+ on sale. I’d *plan* for a good Mini‑LED/QLED in your budget, and if OLED magically drops, that’s a bonus.

**4. Where to buy / timing**
- Online (Amazon, Best Buy, Costco) has been better for “real” models, but be super careful with model numbers:
- Example: QN90C vs QN90CD or a weird extra letter = sometimes fewer zones or lower brightness.
- Track prices starting in October with tools like Keepa (Amazon) and camelcamelcamel, plus r/4kTV and r/buildapcsales for deal callouts.
- Don’t be afraid to buy in the Black Friday window if a known, well‑reviewed model hits your target price. Waiting for actual Cyber Monday usually didn’t improve 75" pricing much in 2023/2024.

**TL;DR target list for your budget by CM 2025:**
- Hisense U8 series 75" (or successor) – bang for buck, very bright, DV, good HDR.
- TCL QM7/QM8 75" successor – similar story, just double‑check motion handling.
- Stretch: Samsung QN90C/D 75" if it drops to ~1.5–1.6k.

Lesson learned for me: don’t chase the cheapest “75" 4K QLED!!!” banner. Lock in a shortlist of *exact* model numbers with known zone counts, brightness, and HDMI 2.1 support, then wait for one of those to hit your price. Everything else is marketing noise.

Hope this helps! Feel free to post your shortlist closer to 2025 and people can sanity‑check the specific models.

Hey, I was in a super similar spot last year and ended up grabbing a 75" Hisense U7K right after Cyber Monday instead of on the actual day. Funny thing is, waiting a week saved me like $150 vs the “big” CM price, so now I’m way more cost-focused than hype-focused.

If you’re aiming for $1,200–$1,500, I’d personally plan on a good Mini‑LED / QLED rather than banking on a 75" OLED dropping into that range by 2025. I think you *might* see entry‑level 77" OLEDs flirting with $1,800–$2,000 during big promos, but hitting your number reliably feels optimistic.

Stuff I’d watch for value-wise:
- TCL Q7 / Hisense U7/U8 lines – these usually get the steepest % discounts for the specs
- Prior‑year Samsung “Q80-ish” level or higher, not the Q60/Q70 bait models
- Sony 75" tends to be pricier; good, but not the best value if you’re hard-capping at $1.5k

Big lesson I’ve learned: start tracking prices in like September using tools (CamelCamelCamel for Amazon, Slickdeals alerts for “75 TV Dolby Vision” etc.). If you know the normal sale price ahead of time, you can instantly see if a Cyber Monday “deal” is actually special or just the usual $100 off with a flashy banner.

Also, don’t sleep on:
- Open-box “Excellent” at Best Buy right after Black Friday/Cyber Monday
- Credit card cash‑back promos or store gift cards that effectively drop the price another 5–10%

So yeah, I’d treat Cyber Monday 2025 as a good *window*, not a single magic day. Target a solid Mini‑LED/QLED with: full‑array local dimming, at least one 120Hz HDMI 2.1 port, and Dolby Vision, then pounce once you see it dip under that $1,400ish mark. That combo’s worked really well for me so far—bright room, PS5, no complaints.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

From more of a “market watcher” angle, I’d say your 2025 sweet spot at 75" in that $1,200–$1,500 range is *probably* going to be higher‑end Mini‑LED/QLED rather than OLED… but the gap is shrinking.

**What we actually saw 2023–2024 (rough ballpark, 75"):**
- **TCL / Hisense**: regularly around **$800–$1,100** for U7/U8 / QM8 type sets (Mini‑LED, 120Hz, good HDR, decent gaming). These had the *biggest* percentage discounts.
- **Samsung QLED / Neo QLED**: the “real” mid/high models (QN85C/QN90C) often landed around **$1,300–$1,800** on Cyber Monday, but there were also the “special” holiday SKUs (e.g., Q7x, Q8x) with worse local dimming / brightness, usually priced to look like a steal but… not as good as expected in person.
- **Sony Bravia (X90K/L, X93L)**: not as aggressive. More like **$1,500–$2,000** for 75" during big promos. Great processing, but you pay for the name and motion engine.
- **OLED 77"**: 2023/24 you were seeing LG C3 / Sony A80L 77" more in the **$2,200–$2,900** band on big sale days. 75" specifically is rarer; most brands jump 65 → 77.

**Brand patterns (for deals):**
- **Deep discounts**: TCL, Hisense. If you want max nits + local dimming per dollar, they’ve been winning, especially on Amazon/Best Buy online.
- **“Looks like a deal but isn’t huge”**: Samsung. They tend to inflate list prices, then drop them, but year‑over‑year the real value move isn’t massive.
- **Slow but solid**: Sony. Smaller discounts but very consistent quality. If motion handling and tone mapping annoy you easily, Sony’s usually the safe bet.

For **your use case (bright room + PS5)**, I’d personally target for CM 2025:
- **TCL QM8 / its 2025 equivalent**, 75" – crazy brightness, great for HDR in a bright space.
- **Hisense U8N / successor**, 75" – also super bright, good gaming features (HDMI 2.1, VRR, 120Hz).
- If you want brand‑name plus better motion: a **Samsung Neo QLED (QN85/90 series) or Sony X90/93 series** if you catch one around ~$1,500.

**On OLED by 2025 at that price:**
Honestly, I don’t think 75" OLED will reliably hit $1,500 by CM 2025 unless it’s a clearance or a very stripped model. Maybe you’ll see **77" entry‑OLED in the $1,800–$2,000 flash‑sale range**, but it’s still a stretch.

**Online vs in‑store:**
- **Best Buy / Amazon online** have been better for 75" specifically. The big doorbusters in‑store are usually 65" or weird variants with cut corners.
- Price drops often **start Black Friday weekend, then some of the “real” good ones show up as lightning or 1–2 day Cyber Monday promos**.

If you want a strategy:
1. **Pick 3–4 model lines now** (e.g., TCL QM8, Hisense U8, Samsung QN90, Sony X90/X93).
2. **Track their prices all year** on sites like camelcamelcamel, Keepa, or with Slickdeals alerts.
3. In Oct/Nov 2025, check the **historical low vs current sale**. If it’s at or beating the 52‑week low, that’s usually the go signal.

So yeah, for 2025 I’d plan on a top‑tier Mini‑LED in your budget, keep OLED as a “if a unicorn deal appears” option, and be extra suspicious of any 75" with a model number that doesn’t match review sites.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you want specific model numbers to track by name.

Hey, so everyone’s talking picture quality and prices, I’ll be the boring safety guy for a sec 😅

Background: I’ve bought a few big 75"+ sets over the last 3–4 years around Black Friday/Cyber Monday and, unfortunately, the worst part hasn’t been the image – it’s been reliability and safety stuff: bad power supplies, flickering backlights, panels cracking in shipping, sketchy wall-mount installs, etc.

Why it matters: Cyber Monday is *full* of “special” models and cheap bundles. Some of those cut corners on build quality, surge protection, and even proper VESA mounting info. In a bright living room with a big 75" panel hanging over people’s heads and getting used for hours a day, you really don’t wanna gamble on that.

What I’d do for 2025, safety-first:

1. **Prioritize brands with solid reliability records**
- For 75" in your budget, I’d personally lean: Sony > Samsung ≈ TCL (6‑/7‑series and up) ≈ Hisense U7/U8, and I’d avoid totally unknown brands even if they look like crazy deals.
- Check rtings + AVSForum *specifically* for long‑term issues: power board failures, vertical lines, random shutoffs. I had issues with a cheap “holiday” 75" that started shutting down after 6 months… never again.

2. **Avoid “holiday-only” or mystery variants when possible**
- If the model number only exists at one store (like “XYZ75Q7B-A” vs the normal “Q7B”), I’m extra cautious. Sometimes they use cheaper power components or weaker stands. Not always, but I’ve been burned.
- If you *do* go for one, make sure there are at least a few legit user reviews that mention owning it for a few months, not just “looks great out of the box”.

3. **Warranty and return policy > tiny price difference**
- Cyber Monday 2023/2024: Best Buy and Costco were usually safer bets than random Amazon sellers.
- Costco: extra 1–2 year warranty built in = huge for big panels.
- Best Buy: easier returns if you see uniformity issues, dead pixels, or buzzing.
- Personally, I’d absolutely pay $100 more to buy from Costco/BB with a clean return policy vs a sketchy Amazon marketplace listing.

4. **Plan for safe mounting and power now**
- Don’t blow the whole $1,500 on just the TV. Budget for:
- A legit UL‑listed surge protector or, better, a small UPS.
- A decent, weight-rated wall mount (or a stand that isn’t wobbly as hell). Some of the cheap Cyber Monday “bundle” mounts are super flimsy.
- I’ve seen people mount a 75" on a $20 mount with barely enough screws into drywall… seriously not worth the risk.

5. **HDR / gaming + safety angle**
- Bright room + PS5 + HDR means you’ll be running it pretty bright. That stresses the backlight over time.
- For that reason, in 2025, I think a **good Mini‑LED / QLED with strong local dimming and good warranty** is a safer bet than trying to chase a super‑cheap 75" OLED (unless prices truly crash + you get strong warranty/extended coverage).

6. **Cyber Monday vs Black Friday strategy**
- From what I saw 2023/2024:
- Prices were *similar*, but Cyber Monday had more sketchy “online-only” variants.
- Black Friday in-store is actually *safer* in one way: you can inspect the box, avoid obviously dropped units, and refuse one that looks damaged.
- What I’d do: track pricing starting early November with something like Honey or Keepa, then:
- If a known-good model (U8K/U8N, Sony X90L/X90M successor, Samsung Q80C+ successor) hits your target price at a reputable store with solid warranty before Cyber Monday… just buy it and don’t overthink.

Realistic 2025 expectation for your budget, safety‑first:
- **75" high‑end QLED/Mini‑LED** in the $1,200–$1,500 range from TCL/Hisense/Samsung/Sony is very realistic.
- **75" OLED** in that price *might* happen on a blowout, but I’d expect:
- limited stock,
- higher burn‑in risk for bright rooms + HUD gaming,
- and maybe weaker warranty fine print.

If you aim for: 75" Mini‑LED/QLED, 4K, 120Hz, Dolby Vision (or at least HDR10+), HDMI 2.1, bought from Costco/Best Buy/Amazon *sold and shipped by Amazon* with at least a 2‑year safety net… Cyber Monday 2025 should absolutely be a sweet spot.

Hope this helps! If you narrow it down to a couple specific models closer to the date, post them and people can sanity‑check for any known reliability/safety issues.

Hey, one angle I haven’t seen mentioned yet: plan for a **DIY setup** around your future 75" instead of paying for all the “extras” they try to sell you on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

If you’re even mildly handy, you can:
- **Wall‑mount it yourself** – $30–$60 for a solid Sanus/USX mount vs $150–$250+ for “pro install”. Just make sure to hit studs, use a stud finder, and don’t cheap out on the mount weight rating.
- **Skip the store calibration upsell** – grab a basic colorimeter-free approach: use rtings.com / HDTVTest settings and a test pattern video on YouTube. It’s not perfect, but it’s 80–90% of a paid calibration for $0.
- **DIY cable + power management** – a $20 in‑wall rated cable kit + $20 raceways looks way cleaner than the “$200 clean install” they push.

Why this matters for your 2025 plan: if you save ~$200–$400 by not paying for mounting + “pro setup”, that money can go straight into jumping from a mid-tier 75" to a better Mini‑LED/QLED with good local dimming and HDMI 2.1 (better for PS5). In other words, DIY the boring stuff so your budget stretches to a noticeably better panel.

So yeah, I’d suggest: track prices with something like CamelCamelCamel, target a good 75" Mini‑LED/QLED around $1,200–$1,500, and mentally budget $50–$100 for DIY mounting/cleanup instead of paying for services. Just be careful with measurements, stud placement, and weight ratings, and you’re good.

Hope this helps!
