The LG C5 is the 5-star OLED TV I’d recommend for both the World Cup and GTA 6 — and you can get it for a record-low price ahead of Prime Day, but it won’t stick around for long
The LG C5 is easily one of the best OLED TVs I’ve ever tested and its 55-inch model has hit a record-low price of £989.99 (was £1,099) at Currys.
Amazon Prime Day may be tomorrow, but this is an excellent early TV deal on one of the best TVs you can get on the market. It covers all the bases, be it movies, sports or gaming, and sits at the top of many of our guides. I also have a sneaking suspicion that it might be the last time it’s available, as I’ve seen stock disappearing from different retailers.
Today’s best LG C5 deal
The ultimate all-rounder
The LG C5 is the ultimate, jack-of-all-trades TV. I awarded it five-stars in my C5 review last year and it currently sits at the top of most of our best-of lists.
The C5’s picture quality is its strongest asset. Textures have a 3D-like quality with refined detail. Colours are vibrant and natural in equal measure. In my testing, the reds of the throne room in Star Wars: The Last Jedi were punchy and rich. The C5 has strong contrast too, with deep blacks and bold highlights that make high-contrast scenes in movies like The Batman look great.
With excellent motion handling, the C5 is also great for sports. Razor-sharp performance means fast motion looks smooth with no issues, so if you’re looking for a World Cup TV upgrade, it’s a great choice (though you’ll need to handle its reflective screen in seriously bright rooms).
One of the best gaming TVs on the market, the C5 is fully stocked with features for gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports which support 4K 144Hz, full VRR including FreeSync and G-Sync, HGiG, Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM, as well as a ton of cloud gaming options. When I played Battlefield V, the C5 made light work of the fast-paced gunfights and vehicle sections, thanks to its ultra-low 9.2ms input lag time. If you’re looking for a new TV in time for GTA 6, you can’t get much better than this one.
The C5 is one of the best value OLEDs on the market too. Even at full price, it gets the price v performance balance right and at a discount, it’s unbeatable value.
