One of the best TV deals we saw during Prime Day is back. Amazon is offering the 65" LG Evo C4 4K OLED Smart TV for $1496.99 after a $1200 price drop. This is the best deal we've seen for the newest 2024 LG OLED TV that doesn't require any hoops to jump through and is accessible to most people. The LG C4 is outstanding TV that has won top spots in several of our buying guides, including best 4K TV, best TV for gaming, and best TV for the PlayStation 5. It's a great match for the new PS5 Pro which releases on November 7.
65" LG Evo C4 4K OLED Smart TV: The Best PS5 TV
The C4 is the current generation 2024 model among LG's highly vaunted C-series OLED TV lineup. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer superior image quality, near-infinite blacks, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times. The C4 uses LG's Evo panel, which boasts higher brightness levels than traditional OLED TVs. Because of these advantages, the OLED TV excels at displaying 4K HDR content in all of its intended glory. We prefer LG over other brands of OLED TVs primarily because they've been out for a longer period of time. Every year model is an incremental update over previous years, but it all adds up when you have several generations under your belt. We gave the older LG C2 a near-perfect score when we first reviewed it, for example
The C4 also has all the features you'd want in a gaming TV. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports all capable of up to 144Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution. That's great news for PS5 (and now PS5 Pro), Xbox Series X, and PC gamers, since several games can be played at frame rates of 120fps and beyond. The C4 also supports variable refresh rate (VRR) including Nvidia G-Sync and auto low latency mode (ALLM). When connected to a PC, it supports chroma 4:4:4 for better text legibility.
A particularly nice feature that isn't advertised often is the surprisingly light weight of the C4. The 65" TV weighs in at only 36.6 pounds without the stand. That's because the rear cabinet housing is made of a composite fiber that's lighter than the plastics most TVs use. It might not matter much in the long term, but this is a welcome advantage when you are first setting up your TV, especially if you plan on wall mounting.
Should You Buy Now or Wait for Black Friday?
Although this is an extremely good discount for one of our favorite gaming TVs, you may be wondering if you should wait until Black Friday to make a purchase. Black Friday 2024 will definitely have more options available, but we don't think that this particular model will drop in price much further. You'll have to wait for next year's C5 TVs to come out before we start seeing steeper discounts. Whatever you decide, this discount makes this easily one of the best TV deals right now.
