I think this TV is the sweet spot in LG’s OLED lineup. The OLED evo panel makes colors pop without looking fake, while the α9 AI Processor Gen6 keeps everything looking smooth and sharp. Dolby Vision and HDR crank up the contrast, which means I’ll finally be able to see what’s happening in those infamously dark episodes of prestige dramas.

I also want this for gaming. The 120Hz refresh rate, NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VRR make sure every frame is smooth, even when my reaction time is not. The 0.1ms response time is faster than my ability to process life decisions. With four HDMI 2.1 ports, I wouldn’t have to keep unplugging my PS5 just to use my Switch.

Then there’s the smart TV setup. WebOS 23 is snappy, and Alexa is built-in for anyone who enjoys bossing around their technology. Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and Hulu are all preloaded, so I wouldn’t even need to find the remote before diving into another unnecessary binge session.

  • Price: $1,196.99 $1,499.99

  • Retailer: Amazon

  • Display: 65-inch OLED evo, 4K UHD

  • Processor: α9 AI Processor Gen6

  • HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG

  • Refresh Rate: 120Hz with VRR

  • Audio: Dolby Atmos, AI Sound Pro

  • Smart TV: WebOS 23 with Alexa built-in

  • Gaming Features: NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync, 0.1ms response time

  • HDMI Ports: 4 x HDMI 2.1

I could act like I’m still thinking about it, but at $1,196.99, this is one of the best OLED TV deals I’ve seen in months. If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to upgrade, this is it. The only thing standing in my way now is measuring my TV stand and convincing myself this is necessary.
