Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend and if you’re excited about an OLED TV but don’t want to break the bank, I’ve found one of the best Super Bowl TV deals of the season.
Right now, you can pick up an LG 48-inch A2 OLED 4K TV for just $549 at Best Buy. That’s $750 off and one of the best OLED TV deals ever. In comparison, the same device cost $549 on Black Friday last year and remains the cheapest OLED TV I’ve ever seen. What makes this a bargain is the fact that the LG A2 earns a place in our best OLED TV guide as the best budget OLED on the market.
In our LG A2 OLED review, we praised LG’s budget TV for offering a “wonderfully colorful picture and fairly strong sound along with a smooth and intuitive interface.” Even though the A2 only has a 60Hz refresh rate, except in extreme business scenes, fast movements appeared clean and fluid and weren’t distracting at all. This should bode well for fast-paced sports scenes. We also like the low input lag, which gamers will appreciate. (However, gamers should note that there are no HDMI 2.1 ports).
The A2 offers incredible picture quality that far exceeds the familiar LCD screens most of us are used to. Each pixel on this OLED TV’s screen is individually lit and colored, eliminating the need for a backlight behind the screen. The result is more vibrant colors, deeper blacks and wider viewing angles from these panels.
It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, display formats that help the content displayed on the screen look its best. Plus, it seamlessly integrates with voice assistants like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, making it easy to navigate your favorite shows and channels using your voice. The LG webOS platform that the TV runs on is also great.
Although you’ll often find this TV on sale, it rarely hits the $549 price point outside of major holidays. I would therefore recommend grabbing this offer before it sells out.
