OLED TVs are arguably the best way to watch TV shows and movies at home. Each pixel is able to turn itself off, which means dark scenes are truly dark. Combine this with excellent colors and brightness, and you have a brilliant viewing experience, especially when watching 4K HDR content.
OLED TVs have historically had two main issues. The first used to be burn-in. While manufacturers have improved their panels to prevent these after images from appearing, another problem persists: the price. That’s why today’s deal is so enticing.
Best Buy is currently offering a flat 50% discount on the 48-inch LG A2 4K OLED TV. You’ll get a great OLED TV for just $650, down from $1,300.
Granted, A2 is LG’s budget OLED series, but you get the same great panel from their C2 series, with just a couple of features missing. Instead of HDMI 2.1, you get an HDMI 2 slot, and you’re limited to a 60Hz display instead of the 120HZ panel found in the C series. Both those things will only matter to you if you intend to use it with PS5 or Xbox Series X.
As we mentioned above, the screen is great for watching content in pitch-black rooms, with virtually no blooming or light bleed coming from the panel. Plus, it supports HDR content, so HDR games, shows, and movies will output with a great dynamic range. Even without the 120Hz support, you should have no issue gaming on this screen.
A2 also comes bundled with LG’s WebOS, making it easy to watch content from most streaming services out there. It also comes with both Google Assistant and Alexa voice assistance built-in, so it should pair well with your existing ecosystem.
