The 65-inch LG C5 OLED TV is down to $1,397 at Amazon right now and Best Buy is right behind at $1,400 for Presidents Day, marking a steep drop from its usual $2,700 price tag. This is one of the more aggressive discounts we've seen on this current-gen OLED, especially outside of major holiday blowouts. If you've been eyeing a premium TV upgrade, this is a strong window to buy -- and we don't expect these Presidents Day prices to last long.
The LG C5 OLED builds on everything we already loved about the C4 series, with meaningful upgrades. It features LG's brightness-boosting tech, plus UL-certified glare-free performance, which helps in brighter rooms. Expect the trademark OLED "perfect black" and "perfect color" reproduction with measured black levels below 0.24 nits.
LG has also pushed the peak brightness up to around 1,400 nits, about 200 more than the previous C4 series. That extra punch helps HDR content pop, especially with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10 baked in. In short, movies and games look stunning, no matter the lighting.
In his review, CNET's TV expert Ty Pendlebury highlighted its excellent uniformity in solid colors and high-contrast content, as well as its wide off-axis viewing -- an area where OLED typically outshines LCD competitors. While he said the newer features like Voice ID and personalized viewing suggestions weren't essential, the processing itself consistently delivered sharper, cleaner visuals across different content types.

Why this deal matters
The LG C5 is a recent release and seeing the price drop this low is unusual -- especially considering OLED sets tend to hold their value longer than most LCDs. On top of that, the C-series is widely regarded as LG's sweet spot, offering premium features without venturing into the more expensive G-series territory.
