If your old TV’s been limping along, this might be your cue. Best Buy just dropped the price of LG’s 65-inch C4 OLED to $1,300 for Memorial Day, $300 off its usual $1,600 sticker. That may not sound like doorbuster territory, but for a set that nails the balance between flagship-tier visuals and sane pricing, it’s a deal worth pausing for. The C4 is LG’s 2024 sweet spot: brighter than the B-series, cheaper than the G-series, and packing enough processing power to make movies, games, and sports all feel like a serious upgrade.

At full price, the C4 lived in that awkward space where you’re not sure if the jump is worth it, especially with cheaper OLEDs or more expensive flagships both competing for your attention. But at $1,300, it becomes one of the few TVs in its class where the value actually lines up with the performance. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally stop nursing that old panel through another year of laggy streaming apps and washed-out blacks, here it is.

Inside The 65-Inch LG C4

The C4 uses LG’s OLED evo panels with self-lit pixels, which means each pixel can turn completely off for perfect blacks. So there’s not going to be any backlight bleeding, no gray blacks that look washed out, just pure darkness when the content calls for it. The contrast difference between OLED and traditional LED TVs becomes immediately obvious the first time you watch something with dark scenes.

The 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160) gives you great detail, but the real story is how the α9 AI Processor Gen7 handles upscaling. Even the older 1080p content gets enhanced through AI Super Upscaling, which analyzes each frame and adds detail intelligently, as opposed to just stretching pixels. LG’s Brightness Booster technology pushes peak brightness higher than previous OLED generations, making HDR content more impactful. The TV supports HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision formats, covering essentially all HDR content you’ll encounter. Color accuracy hits 100% Color Volume and Fidelity, which translates to colors that look natural rather than oversaturated.

Gaming Performance, Sound, And More

The C4 also goes along great with modern consoles and PC gaming. The native 120Hz refresh rate extends to 144Hz for compatible sources, providing smooth motion for fast-paced games. The 0.1ms response time is also great for bringing down any of the lag time, and making gaming less confusing.

Variable Refresh Rate support includes NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync, and HDMI VRR, covering all major gaming platforms. Not to mention that screen tearing is going to turn into a non-issue regardless of whether you’re gaming on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or a high-end PC. Auto Low Latency Mode switches automatically when it detects gaming sources, optimizing settings without manual adjustment. All of which are great choices from the company’s end to give you a better experience when you plug in a game of COD!

The 40W 2.2 channel speaker system churns out surprisingly capable audio for such a thin TV. AI Sound Pro creates virtual 9.1.2 channel surround sound that’s comptible with most content, and then we have Dolby Atmos support, which adds spatial audio effects that enhance movies and shows mixed for the format. To top it all off, WOW Orchestra synchronizes with compatible LG soundbars, using both TV speakers and soundbar together rather than disabling one or the other. This creates fuller sound staging without requiring expensive audio equipment upgrades immediately.

On the connectivity end, we have four HDMI 2.1 ports, three USB ports, and an ethernet port that ensures stable wired internet if your Wi-Fi isn’t enough for 4K streaming.

Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.0 provide fast wireless connectivity for streaming and audio devices. The wireless performance handles 4K streaming without buffering issues on decent internet connections.

For anyone who’s been considering an OLED upgrade but hesitated at premium pricing, this Best Buy Memorial Day deal delivers the price reduction that makes the decision straightforward.
