The LG C5 OLED Best Buy deal has knocked the 65-inch LG C5 Series OLED evo 4K Smart TV down to $1,399.99 as of July 27, according to the retailer’s listing. That is $1,300 off its listed $2,699.99 value, a 48% discount.
The deal puts one of LG’s OLED sets into a far lower price bracket than usual. The C5 is described as last year’s model, but the product details tied to the deal still position it as a strong pick for shoppers who have been waiting for an OLED price drop.
Is the LG C5 OLED Best Buy deal worth it?
Based on the listed discount and feature set, the deal is aimed at buyers who want OLED picture quality without paying the full listed value. OLED TVs use individually lit pixels, which helps them deliver darker blacks and more precise color than many backlit TV designs.
The 65-inch C5 includes more than 8.3 million individually lit pixels, according to the product information cited with the deal. The TV also has LG’s Brightness Booster feature, which is meant to help the screen perform in rooms with a lot of ambient light, an area where OLED sets have often faced more scrutiny.
LG’s Alpha 9 Gen8 AI Processor is listed as the engine handling picture and sound on the C5. The set uses AI to read what is playing and adjust picture and audio settings, so a sports broadcast and a dark movie scene can be treated differently rather than pushed through one generic mode.
What features does the 65-inch LG C5 OLED include?
The TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, according to the listed specs. It also includes Filmmaker Mode, which is designed to remove some of the usual TV processing so movies appear closer to how they were shot and edited.
Gamers get a native 120Hz refresh rate, a 0.1ms response time, VRR support, and four HDMI 2.1 inputs. Those specs are the kind buyers often look for when pairing a TV with newer consoles or a gaming PC.
The C5 also leans into the living-room look. Its bezel is described as nearly invisible, and the set can show art or photos when it is not being used for regular viewing, letting it double as a display piece instead of a blank rectangle on the wall.
Best Buy’s current price for the 65-inch LG C5 OLED is $1,399.99, with the listing showing the $2,699.99 value crossed down by $1,300. As with any retailer deal, the final price and availability can change after the listed date.
