Sling TV is one of the more affordable ways to stream live TV online because it allows you to customize what kind of content you’re paying for. Sling offers two base subscription packages, Orange and Blue. Sling Orange is focused on sports and family entertainment, while Sling Blue is primarily focused on news and general entertainment. You can also buy a subscription to both Orange and Blue. Other packages are available that add channels not available through either base plan. Unfortunately there is no Sling TV free trial happening right now.

Black Friday: Get $300 off this 55-inch stunning frameless Sansui OLED smart TV
55-inch Sansui OLED smart TV with frameless design, subwoofer built-in, and karaoke support

TVs today have grown sophisticated enough to cut down on the bezels -- those thick edges that surround the display. But they still exist in most cases, and depending on how they're shaped it can ruin some of the immersion of home theater experiences. Why am I talking about all of this? Because there is an incredible deal on a frameless 55-inch Sansui OLED smart Google TV for Black Friday. This TV is absolutely stunning. It drops all the bezels and frames, hence the name, and opens up the entire display to the 4K UHD pixels and visuals. I'm going to go out on a limb and proclaim this is one of the best Black Friday TV deals, and certainly one of the most unique. Plus, on top of the frameless design, it's an OLED panel. The deal gets you this bad boy for $600 instead of $899, saving you $299. Oh, yes. But the deal ends December 13 so don't waste time.
