Club Benefits
It feels like everything is getting more expensive. If you entered 2026 with the intention of upgrading to an OLED TV at some point this year, you might have some mixed feelings about the state of the market.
Despite the turbulent times, I come bearing good news: Brands are busy rolling out their latest TV lineups, and as a result, last-year’s sets are crashing in price.
Knowing this, I’ve scoured retailers like Best Buy and Amazon to find the most buyer-friendly OLED TV deals available today. Even though they’ve been available for a year, these are still some of the best OLED TVs money can buy. In many cases, they’re almost as good as their newer, fresher replacements.
1. LG B5
The first deal is a perfect pick for people with smaller-sized spaces, as this OLED TV's screen clocks in at a modest 48 inches. If you're in the market for an affordable OLED smaller than 55 inches, this is the one I'd put at the top of your list.
The LG B5 is an entry-level model, and while it isn't as bright or colorful as pricier, higher-end OLED TVs on this list, it still comes with all of the built-in benefits we've come to expect from this premium display technology. These perks include perfect black levels, ultra-wide viewing angles and, of course, pixel-level dimming.
The B5 doesn't leave you hanging when it comes to features, either. It arrives with many of the same bells and whistles you'll find on higher-end LG OLEDs, including LG's webOS smart platform, Dolby Vision support and the ability to showcase 4K games at 120Hz.
The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive, so you won't find it at any other retailer. This $649 sale price is a whopping 50% off its original price.
2. Samsung S85F
At the 55-inch size point, few OLED deals surpass the heavily discounted Samsung S85F. We recently awarded this TV with a 4-star rating, and in our Samsung S85F review, my colleague Dylan describes being 'blown away by the TV’s picture quality.'
Like the aforementioned LG B5, the S85F is an entry-level OLED. However, it's worth noting that, despite its relatively modest brightness compared to higher-end Samsung OLEDs, the S85F TV is brighter than LG's entry-level OLED. This makes the S85F a better fit for bright-room viewing.
And, like its LG-branded rival, the S85F is loaded up with more features than you might expect given its entry-level status. It supports 4K gaming at 120Hz across four HDMI 2.1 inputs and comes with Samsung's Smart Hub streaming platform baked right in.
3. LG C5
The C5 comes from a long line of mid-range, LG-branded OLED TVs that deliver a ton of value relative to their cost. In fact, for my money, it's one of the best C Series OLED TVs LG has ever made.
You can get the full picture in our 5-star LG C5 review, but here's the basic gist: This TV was already engineered to be a value-forward option that settles into the sweet spot between affordability and performance, and now that it's had a full year to occupy store shelves, it's almost at its cheapest price to date.
The C5 is significantly brighter than both of the already-mentioned, entry-level OLED TVs on this list, and that added highlight brightness allows for a more-impactful HDR presentation during movies, shows and games.
The discounted C5 also arrives with nearly every feature you’ll find on its successor, the LG C6. In fact, in most of the ways that matter to the average viewer, they're almost identical TVs.
The C5 includes Dolby Visio support, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, LG's webOS smart platform and the ability to showcase 4K games at 120Hz (and up to 165Hz with a PC hooked up). Between this impressive set of features, its performance and low price, it's no wonder why this was our best-reviewed TV in the last year.
4. Sony Bravia 8
The Sony Bravia 8 made its debut in 2024, but hear me out: It's just as good now as it was a couple of years ago. Right now, you can get the 65-inch version for a sizable discount that takes the sting out of paying the so-called Sony Tax.
When we tested this TV for our full Sony Bravia 8 review, we came away impressed. This set isn't quite as bright as some of its mid-range competitors (like the previously mentioned LG C5), but it's bright enough for HDR shows and movies to pop, particularly in dimly lit or dark rooms.
The Bravia 8's best feature, however, is Sony's unparalleled picture processing. This OLED upscales sub-4K content extremely well, and Sony's Professional picture mode will surely satisfy viewers who yearn for an accurate picture right out of the box.
5. LG G5
The LG G5 is, pound for pound, the best-performing OLED TV on this list. As a result, you can expect to pay higher price for its 55-inch model.
But there is some good news. Since this TV made its debut a year ago, it's on sale for a much lower price. The 55-inch G5 launched at $2,499. Right now, that model is down to $1,999.
If you're planning on placing your next TV in a sun-soaked room, the G5 is the most accommodating set in this round-up. In fact, it's one of the brightest OLED TVs we've ever tested, period.
It pairs these sensationally high HDR highlights with superb color volume, and in its most accurate picture mode (Filmmaker), the G5 delivers one of the most cinematic presentations you can buy right now.
Just about every streaming- and gaming-related feature is accounted for here, but it's worth mentioning that this TV's stand is sold separately, as this OLED leverages a gap-free design that's built specifically for wall-mounting.
