Hurry — this cheap 65-inch QLED TV Black Friday deal ends soon
Vizio M-Series Quantum 6 Smart TV in living room with media on.

Even though Black Friday is over and most Black Friday TV deals have passed, there are still a few floating around that you can pick up if you missed out. For example, this excellent Vizio 65-inch MQ6 series is still available from Best Buy for just $500, rather than the usual $630 it goes for. We don't know how long this deal will last, so if you like it, grab it as soon as possible rather than waiting for Cyber Monday Deals. We've already seen many similar deals expire within the last few hours, and we don't know if we'll find any similarly good ones on Cyber Monday.

Why you should buy the Vizio 65-inch MQ6 Series 4K QLED TV
Quantum-dot LED TVs are a sort of "in-between" option between a standard LED TV and a high-end OLED TV. A QLED TV adds a layer of small particles, or quantum dots, over the LED panel. This quantum-dot overlay amplifies color and brightness, creating a more vivid and vibrant picture that's better for daytime viewing. Over the past year (and especially now with leftover Black Friday deals), the price of QLED televisions has approached that of LED TVs, making now a great time to upgrade to a quantum-dot panel if you've been thinking about it.
