I had my credit card in a fevered grip before I got a grip, and let the reality of the situation pop my balloon of childish excitement. You won’t actually be able to buy one until late next year or early 2007. Arrrgh!! I have been hearing about bloody OLEDs for so long now that I finally thought they had it cracked and the damned things had made it past mobile phones and onto the shelves. It was not to be. But 40-inch is a good sign. A very good sign for OLEDs

The LG C4, one of the best TVs for most people, is over 40% off for Cyber Monday

Whenever someone asks me what TV they should buy, I always say, "An OLED, if you can swing it." Sure, there are important follow-up questions -- like what's the TV room like and what's the budget -- but the answer is still almost always an OLED. The one that I've recommended more than any other is LG's C Series, which this year is the LG C4. As our very own Caleb Denison said in his review, "everyone should have this TV." It's why he gave the C4 a review score of 4 out of 5 stars and we put it on our list of the best TVs. Right now, you can get the 65-inch model for $1,500, which is $1,200 off its MSRP.

So what makes the LG C4 the OLED that everyone should have? It has outstanding picture quality, great processing, and the perfect blacks we expect from an OLED TV. LG's gaming experience has stepped up over the years with Game Optimizer, and the TV supports variable refresh rate (VRR), has a low input lag, and is all-around excellent for gaming.
