Asus ROG Ally
We like: PC gaming on the go

LG OLED42C44LA
Average price in the past six months: £726.63 Lowest price in the past six months: £521
We like: Our top pick for a TV deal this Black Friday
We don't like: Lacks some accessibility settings
This high-end 42-inch OLED TV has plenty of gaming features and a lot of other nice-to-haves. It has a 100/120Hz screen, plus Freesync and G-Sync built in. This will make gaming on an Xbox or PS5 look smoother and should reduce input lag when playing with a controller.
There are more features than just those for gaming: you'll get features like Dolby Vision, plus plenty of smart features to stream movies and TV without any additional hardware.

Best gaming monitor deal
Samsung Odyssey LS25BG400EUXXU
Average price in the past six months: £204.98 Cheapest price in the past six months: £129
We like: Easy to assemble, plus gaming features
Watch out for: Ports and sockets can be awkward to access
If you're looking for a new monitor for your gaming PC, or don't want to spend hundreds of pounds on a TV, this Samsung monitor is a great option to consider.
It has a high refresh rate of 240Hz, which can make games seem smoother while playing. You'll need to make sure your console or PC can output more than 60 frames per second in order to see any differences, though. It's a 1080p FHD monitor, so devices such as a PS5 shouldn't have many issues reaching those higher frame rates.

Best Fire TV Stick gaming deal
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device
Average price in the past six months: £46.26 Lowest price in the past six months: £25.99
We like: Xbox game streaming
Watch out for: Needs to be powered by an outlet
Amazon's 4k Fire Stick aims to bring top-quality streaming experiences to your home by connecting to wi-fi 6 and streaming in 4K Ultra HD.
One standout feature of this model is that it's the only streaming media player with the Xbox app, which means you can stream games through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and cloud gaming.
Will the Steam Deck be on sale this Black Friday?
There is a small chance it will be discounted. There have been times when you can get a small discount on the popular handheld PC, but those have been few and far between. Last year, it wasn't discounted for Black Friday.
While you can sometimes get them from retailers such as Amazon, it's not uncommon to find them selling for higher than RRP from a third-party seller. If you're after one, we'd recommend buying from Valve direct.
As of writing, the price for a Steam Deck LCD is still £349, with prices for the Steam Deck OLED at £479 (512GB model) and £569 (1TB model).
If you're after one, you can check out prices and availability from Steam.
Where can I find Black Friday deals on games?
