On the hunt for a new OLED TV that's worth your hard-earned cash? This might be the ideal find for you.

The five-star 55-inch LG C5 is available for £1199 at Richer Sounds – that's the lowest price we have seen on this model. You can only get this saving at checkout, but that should take a matter of seconds.

As one of the best OLED TVs that we've tested this year, we're more than happy to recommend it. But what makes us even happier is finding it at its lowest-ever price.

And, while we have spotted savings at retailers such as Amazon, this deal at Richer Sounds is the best you can get right now.

The 55-inch LG C5 is the latest mid-range OLED from the Korean tech giant's C-series line-up.

And after testing the 55-inch and 48-inch sets, we called it "the best new OLED for most people right now", featuring in both our best TVs and best OLED TVs buying guides.

While it lacks a fourth generation OLED panel, as found in its five-star LG G5 sibling, and seemed like a minor upgrade on last gen's C4, we found it to be an improvement nonetheless with higher peak brightness and much improved white detail.

Visually, the small amount of additional brightness makes the picture pop more than before, and colours are incredibly rich and vibrant while still being balanced and cinematically accurate.

The C5 also features a near-identical feature set as its predecessor with four full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 sockets capable of handling 4K/165Hz signals (as well as the 4K/120Hz that current consoles max out at, of course) with VRR and ALLM.

And if you're a gamer, that's great news, as is support for Dolby Vision gaming and a peerless HGiG setting.

The sound quality though is far less impressive, but considering how often we say this about OLED TVs of this stature, we're not totally surprised. Of course, this can be easily fixed by budgeting for a soundbar or speaker system.

With a new OLED TV, of course, comes a hefty price tag. But, even after we found out how much it cost when we first tested it (£1900), we had no trouble recommending it.

Seeing it available for £1199 at Richer Sounds though is an unbelievable price and makes this set even easier to wholeheartedly recommend to anyone in the market for a great new TV.
