Black Friday Deals Today and Beyond

Okay, so Black Friday ain’t quite what it used to be but there are still plenty of deals to be had, not only today but over the next few days. Here’s a look at some of the AV discounts we’ve come across.

4K TV

LG has heard the call from S&V readers who put OLED TV at the top of their holiday wishlists in a last week’s poll. The king of OLED is running Black Friday discounts through Monday, December 2 on seven 4K OLED TVs, including a 55-inch model marked down to the “lowest price ever for an OLED TV.”

Topping LG’s list of deals is the 55-inch OLED55B9, which is now $1,200, 25% off the regular price of $1,600, the lowest price ever for an LG OLED TV. The 65-inch version of the B9 Series TV has been reduced to $1,800, 28% off the regular price of $2,500.

But even steeper discounts are available on LG’s C9 series TVs, which has been marked down 40%: the 55-inch OLED55C9 is now $1,499 (originally $2,500) and 65-inch OLED65C9 is $2,100 (originally $3,500). The 77-inch OLED77C9 has been reduced to $5,000 — a not-too-shabby 29% discount off its regular price of $7,000.

In LG’s minimalist E9 “Glass” series TVs, the 55-inch OLED55E9 has been marked down to $2,000, 39% off the regular price of $3,300, and the 65-inch OLED55E9 is now $3,000, 30% off the regular price of $4,300.

Discounted pricing is good through Monday but if you buy one of LG’s 2019 OLED TVs before February 9, 2020 you get a free 12-month subscription to the new Disney+ streaming service. The Disney+ app is integrated on the home screen of Samsung and now LG TVs.

The speaker gurus at SVS are offering an “all-time low” Black Friday deal on their popular SB12/PB12-NSD subwoofer while supplies last.

The SB12-NSD sealed-cabinet model (shown at right) has been marked down to $400, 41% off its regular price of $680, and its ported counterpart, the PB12-NSD, has been reduced to $500, almost 40% off of its original price of $800. Both deals include free shipping.

Newly manufactured and factory sealed, both models boast a 12-inch high-excursion driver, 400-watt amplifier, black ash finish, and are covered by the company’s 5-year unconditional warranty. Once SVS sells out its “extremely limited” stock for these models, the deal is over.

Streaming


Through Tuesday, December 3, there are three ways to tune into the SiriusXM satellite radio service for free without having to enter credit card information: via a car radio, through the SiriusXM app, or online.

If you have SiriusXM in your car you’ll be able to sample more than 100 channels, running the gamut from The Beatles Channel and LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells to SoulCycle Radio and Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Radio to Mad Dog Sports Radio and SiriusXM POTUS.

Or you can download the SiriusXM app on your phone, PC/laptop, or tablet and get free access to more than 300 channels of live programming and an On Demand library with 10,000-plus hours of archived shows, exclusive music performances, interviews, and audio documentaries.

The app provides access to several new features, including Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora, which lets you create unique ad-free stations based on favorite artists, and SiriusXM video, which presents new clips daily from across the service’s lineup of music, talk, and sports channels. Clips include performances, interviews, and in-studio moments from the likes of Howard Stern. Xtra Channels — featuring variations of SiriusXM’s music channels such as 80s on 8 Party, all with skip-ahead functionality — are also available through the app.

The other option is to listen online for free through the holiday weekend at player.siriusxm.com, or through an Alexa-enabled device by enabling the SiriusXM Skill in the Alexa app and clicking “Enjoy Free SiriusXM.” Free listening is available on Amazon’s Echo, Echo Dot, and Fire TV.
