The best OLED TV I've ever seen is $500 off now for Cyber Monday — time's running out
Major price drop on a jaw-dropping TV
As someone who thought they had a pretty good TV (the Samsung Q60A QLED TV from 2021), I wasn't expecting a huge leap in quality when I started testing the new LG G3 OLED TV. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is one of the best TVs I've ever seen — and you can save big for Cyber Monday.
Right now the LG G3 OLED TV 65-inch is just $2,499 at Best Buy. That's $500 off. If you're happy with a smaller size the 55-inch LG G3 OLED is $1,799 at Best Buy, which is $400 off.
Update: The discounts for both LG G3 OLED TVs are now $400 and $500 off for the 55-inch and 65-inch models.

If you prefer a smaller size, the 55-inch LG G3 OLED delivers just as bright and stunning a picture. You get support for HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and a powerful 60W sound system. Plus, the webOS software makes it easy to find things to watch in combination with the magic remote.

Act fast! The LG G3 OLED is the latest entry in LG’s “Gallery Series” of top-tier 4K/120Hz TVs. And this is the easily the best TV I've ever tested. This astonishing set hits over 1,300 nits peak brightness in HDR mode, which is all thanks to its pioneering, brightness-boosting Micro Lens Array panel. You also get stunning picture quality, a beautiful design and strong webOS smart platform.

The picture quality is so stunning from this OLED that I literally felt like I was on the field when the Giants' Saquon Barkley was entering the huddle. And my son commented that close-ups during his favorite Netflix show Suits were so realistic that it frightened him at first.
I also fired up Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning: Part I, and I was amazed by the color saturation in the train scene — with a bright blue carpet contrasting against Tom Cruise's black outfit. Thanks to the incredible resolution and upscaling, I could even make out individual beads of sweat on his forehead.
I also marveled at the rich colors when the family was playing Fortnite on this OLED TV. The graphics looked very smooth with no lag.

In our LG G3 OLED TV review, we praised this TV's test results and overall performance. It hit a max of 1,361 nits of brightness, compared to 820 nits for the LG C3 OLED. This is thanks to LG's new Brightness Booster Max technology combined with the Alpha a9 Gen 6 processor.
The LG G3 also offers a striking physical design with slim bezels that really make this panel pop along with an intuitive webOS software interface that makes it easy to find things to watch and even control your smart home gadgets.
Other highlights of the LG G3 OLED include 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and a Game Optimizer mode that delivers very low input la of 9.2 ms that gamers will appreciate. My only nitpick is that the optional stand tilts the set backwards slightly at 5 degrees, so if you can wall mount this thing I would recommend it.
