A new year brings new deals on our favorite OLED TVs, slashing prices in the lead-up to the official launch of 2026 models. While you won't find Black Friday or Cyber Monday-level discounts at this time of the year, you still can find some surprising winners in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.

Right out of the gate, I recommend the 65-inch Samsung S84F OLED TV that's currently $899 and offers a slew of cutting-edge features and gaming enhancements under $1,000. If you want something that packs a bit more of a punch, the higher-end LG C5 OLED is $896, but it is the 42-inch model.

The LG B5 offers everything we love about OLED TVs at a much friendlier price. This deal isn't quite as good as its Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts, but it's reasonably cheap for a 2025 OLED TV. The B5 supports Dolby Vision and provides a full slate of four HDMI 2.1 ports that all support 4K gaming at 120Hz. This makes it a terrific pick for viewers who want an affordable OLED TV for streaming and gaming. Check out our full LG B5 review for the full scoop on this value-packed OLED TV.

One of the most affordable 55-inch OLED TVs available right now is the 55-inch Panasonic Z85A, which was first introduced in 2024. This TV comes with Amazon's Fire TV smart platform pre-installed, and while it's not my preferred smart platform, the Z85A's overflowing value more than makes up for Fire TV's shortcomings. This entry-level OLED is also packed with numerous features for gamers, plus a surprisingly good speaker system.

In our five-star LG C5 review, we showered this OLED TV with praise for its sensational performance, its class-leading selection of features, and its approachable price point. The C5 delivers all of the benefits we've come to expect from OLED displays, but its design, software, and overall experience are the result of LG's excellent engineering. The 42-inch version of this TV would also make for an excellent PC gaming monitor, if you're looking for something a little different.

Samsung's most affordable OLED TV of 2025 may not be as much of a showstopper as the brand's flagship-level S95F, but it's still super affordable for a 65-inch OLED TV. It also comes with a useful array of gaming enhancements and streaming features. If you're shopping for a cheap OLED TV above 55 inches, I can't think of a better option than the S85F OLED TV at the moment.

The 48-inch Samsung S90D OLED TV is about $300 more expensive than the 48-inch LG B5 right now, but that bump in price nets you a significant bump in brightness, too. If you were hoping to use a 48-inch OLED TV as a gaming monitor, the S90D is a better choice than the B5, as it supports 4K gaming up to 144Hz compared to the B5's 120Hz.

Samsung's second-most affordable OLED TV of 2025 is the S85F, and right now, the 55-inch version of this TV is under $1,000. It doesn't offer the blisteringly bright HDR performance you'll get with one of Samsung's flagship-level, quantum dot-equipped OLED TVs, but there's still plenty to love here, including a full slate of HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs for Xbox and PS5.

Sony 55" XR8B 4K OLED TV

I've admittedly not had an opportunity to see this Sony OLED TV up close, but it would be silly of me not to include it in this round-up. The 55-inch XR8B was one of the most popular OLED TV deals on Black Friday, and weeks later, it's still on sale for over $2,300 off. It blends Sony's top-notch picture processing with an array of features for streaming and gaming. This includes built-in Google TV and support for 4K gaming at 120Hz.

The LG B4 OLED TV is on its last legs as the 2025 OLED begins to slowly disappear from store shelves. Like the LG B5, its predecessor is not as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you still get to bask in the glory of OLED display technology at a lower sticker price. If you're worried about its age compared to the newer B5, fear not: In our LG B4 vs LG B5 face-off, we break down how these two TVs are almost identical.

The LG C4 OLED TV might have debuted in 2024, but it still offers incredible picture quality at a great price. Fortunately, that price is even better right now, as it's down to under $1,000 for the 42-inch model, which is yet another fantastic PC monitor replacement. It offers nearly all of the same features available on the LG C5, including a full slate of HDMI 2.1 inputs, top-tier gaming support, and Dolby Vision HDR.
