I test OLED TVs for a living and the best cheap OLED just hit its lowest ever price for Black Friday
Score a massive $750 discount on LG's 48-inch A2 OLED TV
OLED TVs are becoming more affordable every passing day, but still sit at the expensive end of the TV market. That's why this early Black Friday deal at Best Buy for the 48-inch LG A2 OLED TV is an incredible discount. The set has dropped to a record-low price of $549.99, which means you're saving a whopping $750 on OLED technology.
Rated as one of the best OLED TVs you can buy, the LG A2 delivers an accurate picture out-of-the-box, with deep black levels and rich color reproduction, thanks to its OLED panel and the α7 Gen 5 AI Processor. It also supports Dolby Vision and although it doesn't support 120Hz refresh rate for gaming, it does have a low 10ms input lag time and a Game Optimizer mode to get the most out of your video games. There aren't many TVs that offer all this and OLED for this price.
OLED TVs very rarely approach $500 and at only $50 more than that, this early Black Friday deal on the 48-inch LG A2 is an absolute steal. If you're looking for a premium display on a budget, then you can't get much better than today's offer from Best Buy.
