Black Friday weekend deal alert: Both Amazon and Best Buy made huge cuts to the price of the LG OLED G5 for their Black Friday sales, and the offers are still available, even a day later. I've tested tons of OLED TVs at CNET, and this one delivers the brightest picture I've ever seen. Right now, you can grab it for 38% off at Amazon and at a $1,400 discount at Best Buy. Best Buy is also throwing in a $100 gift card with your purchase.
CNET's key takeaways
The LG G5 series is the best and brightest OLED I've ever tested in the CNET Labs.
At its sale price of $1,872 for the 65-inch size at Amazon
The G5's best-in-class brightness made gaming easier and more enjoyable than I expected.
As a Call of Duty player, I know that quick responses can be the difference between clinching victory and languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard. But until I played Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on the new LG G5 OLED, I didn't know there was something else just as crucial.
I've tested dozens of the best TVs over the years. My CoD session helped cement my opinion of the G5 as the best OLED I've ever tested.
Why? One reason is this model's exceptional, best-in-class brightness that brings visuals to life: It's the brightest OLED I've ever seen in the CNET TV lab. Its clarity ensured I could see both the bright and dark parts of the screen -- in a way the other TVs I've tested couldn't reproduce. For instance, it was harder for enemies to hide in the shadows, because the TV rendered shadows more crisply.
Brightness for the win.
