UK Black Friday 2024 deals: PC components
It’s a funny time for PC components right now. Everyone wants a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, but stocks are low, while Intel’s new Core Ultra chips are readily available but not so highly rated for gaming. Meanwhile, new GPUs aren’t expected any time soon, but fast NVMe storage is always in high demand – and after a price bump earlier in the year we’re starting to see some historic lows on rapid PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 models plus quick portable SSDs and Micro SD cards for Steam Deck. Here are the UK highlights as things stand.

UK Black Friday 2024 deals: TVs and monitors
The age of the 4K 120Hz TV is well and truly upon us, with the desirable-for-gaming HDMI 2.1 standard now available on most mid-range and high-end sets. In the world of monitors, things are a little more fast-moving, with QD-OLED and W-OLED panels hitting mainstream price points and resolution/refresh spec sheets getting pushed out further and further. Expect good deals on a range of DF-recommended models.

US Black Friday 2024 deals: PC peripherals
On the opposite side of the Atlantic, PC peripheral trends are flowing in much the same direction – better typing mechanical keyboards with fancy analogue inputs, lighter mice with higher polling rates and better-sounding gaming headsets, often with ANC features at the high end. Here are the highlights thus far.

Upgrading your PC? It’s a good time for it, with new CPUs and motherboards on the market from both Intel and AMD, plus great prices on DDR5 RAM and NVMe SSD storage.

US Black Friday 2024 deals: TVs and monitors
2024 is the year of the OLED when it comes to PC monitors, with Samsung QD-OLED and LG W-OLED panels offering higher resolutions, faster refresh rates, and better subpixel structures than their predecessors. If you don’t fancy an OLED, then there are plenty of good Mini LED alternatives too. Plus, in the TV space, getting a high-end HDMI 2.1 set with 4K 120Hz support for PS5, PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X is more affordable than ever before.
