LG’s C2 line of OLED TVs is recommended as the best option for most people in our guide to the best 4K TVs. That’s because it’s brighter than most OLED TVs owing to a next-gen OLED Evo display panel, something also found only in the company’s flagship G2 “Gallery” series models. And while the C2 series isn’t the company’s most affordable series, the 42-inch version has hit a new low of $997 on early Prime Day.

That deal is a 29% drop over the 42-inch C2’s $1,400 list price. It’s also the largest price drop for the C2 series, although the 55-inch model is also currently seeing a 25% discount. These are fantastic prices for some of LG’s best TVs, and ones that we’d be surprised to see bested on Black Friday.

Our review of LG’s C2 series set found much to admire beyond its outstanding brightness. It has an attractive design, and its 4 HDMI 2.1 ports support next-gen gaming features like 120 Hz, VRR, and ALLM. (It also has G-SYNC and FreeSync Premium.) In fact, gaming would be one of the primary uses for a 42-inch model like this one, since it’s the smallest in the series and could even be placed on a desktop.

If you’re using a C2 OLED for movie-viewing (in which case you might want to consider an upgrade to that 55-inch model), you’ll benefit from LG’s new Alpha a9 Gen 5 processor, which goes a long way toward improving the look of HDR images.

Whichever model you choose, you really can’t go wrong with LG’s C2 series, which we recommend without hesitation.
