Amazon Big Deal Days TV and home cinema deals live: our experts’ handpicked recommendations
We’re live blogging all the top OLED TV, projector, soundbar and AVR savings in real-time
And now the 65-inch version is also on sale…
Remember what we said in the last post about fresh deals on larger sizes of the C5 being very likely?
Well turns out we were right as mere moments after clicking the publish button on our last post we spotted a fantastic deal that lets you grab the 65-inch LG C5 for just £1599 at Richer Sounds. That’s a £1100 saving on its launch price.
For your money you’ll get a fantastic all-rounder with flawless gaming specifications, solid picture quality and excellent app support. Hence our reviewers’ glowing verdict:
“It's probably the best TV for most people, as its exceptional picture quality and uncompromising feature set are certified crowd pleasers. It remains an excellent choice for gamers, too, and its Dolby Vision Filmmaker mode is a major bonus for film buffs.”
Our only word of caution is to look for a soundbar to go with it if you want the best results as its audio is good, not great, even by TV speakers standards.
The best OLED TV deal isn't on Amazon right now
The LG C5 is one of the best step-down OLED TVs we've tested this year and one of the ones we consistently recommend in our buying guides, especially for people who like to game as well as watch movies on their TV.
This is because, though it isn't the best at everything it is one of the only sets we've reviewed in its class with no obvious weaknesses. We said as much in our review where we reported: "LG's latest mid-range OLED delivers another crowd-pleasing performance."
And right now, we've spotted an amazing discount on the 55-inch model at Richer Sounds we'd strongly recommend considering.
Our only word of caution, is that we're expecting more OLED TV deals to appear very soon, so if you're not 100 per cent convinced, or want something a little bigger or smaller, it may be worth waiting and seeing what else appears.

A quick tip
On the off chance you want to hunt for your own deals, or just aren’t sure which products to get we have some simple advice.
Read the reviews of the products you’re interested in before making any purchase. Or, if you’re near a store, go and have an actual demo – most specialist retailers are more than happy to let you try stuff out, even if they have to cable something up.
In the event you can’t do that, or you want a quicker shortlist to work off, look at our buying guides. We make a point of constantly updating our guides with our expert reviewers' latest advice, based on our experience using the products and running them against one another as part of our comparative testing process.
That means, every product mentioned in them has been fully tested and vetted by our experts to make sure it’s worth your money, even at its normal retail price.
Here’s a quick list of the big ones to save you tracking them down.
