As part of the October Prime Day Sale, Amazon has dropped the price of the 2024 65″ LG Evo C4 4K OLED Smart TV to only $1496.99, a $1200 price drop from its retail price of $2700. The LG Evo C4 is an outstanding TV that has won top spots in several of our buying guides, including best 4K TV, best TV for gaming, and best TV for the PlayStation 5. This is a great complement to the PS5 Pro, since its updated hardware can run games in 4K @ 120fps more consistently.
Update: The 2023 65″ LG Evo C3 4K OLED smart TV is now also on sale for $1296.99. The $200 cost savings is probably worth it for most people because both the C3 and C4 TVs use the same OLED panel.
65″ LG Evo C4 4K OLED Smart TV: The Best PS5 TV
The C4 is the current generation 2024 model among LG’s highly vaunted C-series OLED TV lineup. Compared to a traditional LED LCD TV, an OLED TV offers superior image quality, near-infinite blacks, near-infinite contrast ratio, and near-instantaneous response times. The C4 uses LG’s Evo panel, which offers 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. Compared to other OLED TVs, LG has the most generations of updates and improvements so we’re keen to choose this brand over others.
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.
65″ LG Evo C3 4K OLED Smart TV: Older Model, Just As Good
The C3 is the 2023 predecessor the the C4. Because the C3 and C4 use the same OLED panel, picture quality is nearly identical with very minor improvements to the C4 thanks to a newer processor. Other upgrades of the C4 over the C3 include an updated WebOS smart interface, support for DTS audio, and a higher 144Hz refresh rate. For most people, these updates aren’t worth the $200 cost savings by going with the C3.
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 generally has more options than Prime Day including more sizes of LG C4 TVs on sale, however this particular model probably won’t be beat; it’s already at the lowest price of the year. So if you are looking for another size, waiting for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals is probably the right call. But this discount makes this easily one of the best TV deals happening right now.
