Upgrading to an OLED TV will make a big difference to your living room setup, but the best screens out there don’t come cheap. However, Amazon has slashed the prices of LG’s 2021 C1 OLED lineup, pushing most of them to new record lows. The cheapest of the bunch, the 48-inch model, has fallen to $997, which is about $50 cheaper than the previous record price. But you get the best deal on the 65-inch television, which is 32 percent off and drops to $1,697. And if you go for that model, you can also save $150 on LG’s SP9YA soundbar if you want to upgrade your sound system along with your TV.

The mid-tier C1 sets have been quite popular as they give you all the features you expect in an OLED set, along with added gaming benefits, all for a decent price. As with any OLED TV, you get deep blacks and more accurate colors than standard sets, and the C1 models support 120Hz refresh rates and run LG’s a9 Gen4 AI Processor 4K. LG’s smart TV interface gives you access to all the top streaming platforms, including Netflix and Apple TV+, and supports voice commands from both Amazon’s Alexa and the Google Assistant.
In addition to the high refresh rate, the C1 sets have HDMI 2.1, support for G-Sync and FreeSync and are capable of a response time of 1 ms. Those features make these TVs excel when it comes to console gaming, and LG lets you control all those relevant settings in the Game Optimizer menu.
It’s worth noting that LG’s 2022 OLED kits are now also available, including the updated C2 lineup. The company has made a few changes to this year’s sets, upgrading the processor to its a9 Gen5 chip, adding new features to Game Optimizer, and cutting response times even further. However, the C2 TVs start at almost $1,500, so if you’re willing to skip the latest improvements, you can get last year’s models at much better prices. The same goes for LG’s G1 “Gallery” series right now – while the 2022 G2 family is available from a whopping 2022. $3,200most 2021 models are discounted and the 65″ G1 has fallen to a new low of $1,997.
