It’s not too late to shop for some Christmas gifts, and if you’re looking to wow a loved one (or splurge for yourself), this OLED TV from LG is a great option. Best Buy has the 55-inch LG B4 OLED smart TV for $999.99 (originally $1,399.99) after a $400 discount. The deal is also one of the 52 TVs that comes with a $100 Best Buy gift card. This is the best discount this TV has had over the last few months, according to price-tracking tools.
OLEDs are great, but they’re not for everyone. Here’s what this TV offers and how to determine if it’s a good fit for you.
One of the main things you need to know about OLEDs is that they are susceptible to burn-in. If you plan on leaving the TV running for a long period with the same image, like a channel that keeps the logo on the same corner, you run the risk of that image permanently getting burned onto the display. Another thing to keep in mind is that OLEDs don’t get as bright as other TVs, so if you plan on using them in a bright room, your image quality will not be optimal.
Despite those downsides, OLEDs offer some of the highest-quality images available on modern televisions. The B4 OLED just came out this year and has 4K capabilities with 2160p resolution, High Dynamic Range (HRD), 120 Hz refresh rate (which is great for gaming), and webOS smart platform with voice assistant and access to many streaming services.
If you’re looking for a 55-inch OLED TV under $1,000 that will arrive before Christmas, this is the best bang for your buck.
