The Best TV for PlayStation 5 Just Dropped to the Lowest Price Ever for Black Friday – IGN

The C4 is the current generation 2024 model among LG’s highly vaunted C-series OLED TV lineup. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer superior image quality, near-infinite blacks, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times. The C4 uses LG’s Evo panel, which boasts higher brightness levels than traditional OLED TVs. Because of these advantages, the OLED TV excels at displaying 4K HDR content in all of its intended glory.

We prefer LG over other brands of OLED TVs primarily because they’ve been out for a longer period of time. Every year model is an incremental update over previous years, but it all adds up when you have several generations under your belt. We gave the older LG C2 a near-perfect score when we first reviewed it in 2022, for example.

The C4 also has all the features you’d want in a gaming TV. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports all capable of up to 144Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution. That’s great news for PS5 (and now PS5 Pro), Xbox Series X, and PC gamers, since several games can be played at frame rates of 120fps and beyond. The C4 also supports variable refresh rate (VRR) including Nvidia G-Sync and auto low latency mode (ALLM). When connected to a PC, it supports chroma 4:4:4 for better text legibility.

A particularly nice feature that isn’t advertised often is the surprisingly light weight of the C4. The 65″ TV weighs in at only 36.6 pounds without the stand. That’s because the rear cabinet housing is made of a composite fiber that’s lighter than the plastics most TVs use. It might not matter much in the long term, but this is a welcome advantage when you are first setting up your TV, especially if you plan on wall mounting.

If you’re looking to spend even less money, consider this high-end Samsung OLED gaming TV deal. Right now, Best Buy and Amazon are offering the 65″ Samsung S90C 4K OLED Smart TV for just $999.99 after a massive $1,600 price drop. This is another TV that pairs well with the current-gen gaming consoles. In fact, some critics rate the S90C as a better gaming TV than the LG C4. RTINGS writes that “the LG (C4) is noticeably dimmer in Game Mode while the Samsung (S90C) isn’t, making the Samsung the better choice for gamers.”

Should You Buy Now or Wait for Black Friday?

Although this is an extremely good discount for one of our favorite gaming TVs, you may be wondering if you should wait until Black Friday to make a purchase. Black Friday 2024 will definitely have more options available, but we don’t think that this particular model will drop in price much further. You’ll have to wait for next year’s C5 TVs to come out before we start seeing steeper discounts. Whatever you decide, this discount makes this easily one of the best TV deals right now.
