If you're hunting for a great OLED TV, now is the best time to buy it at a record-low price. Models that just a few months ago cost even several thousand zlotys are now available with discounts of up to 60%.
This applies to both high-end models and basic versions, which despite their lower price still offer the full benefits of OLED technology – perfect blacks, infinite contrast, very good motion quality, and excellent color reproduction.
We realize that the transition from spring to summer is not the time when people spend most of their time in front of the screen; however, this is the time of year when stores start making room for new products, and older models from the 2024 lineup are achieving record-low prices. In short: this is the best moment to make a purchase.
Best OLED TVs on Sale!
LG G4
This is one of the best – if not the best – televisions of 2024. Thanks to its proprietary OLED MLA technology, the G4 can confidently compete with the top models on the market. A similar panel is used by Panasonic in its Z95A and Philips OLED909, but what sets the LG G4 apart from the competition... is the price.
As of the writing of this article, the G4 is available at a really great offer – prices can be as low as half compared to the day of its premiere. The LG G4 doesn't need much introduction – it has appeared numerous times in our rankings. But if this is your first guide, it's worth mentioning that LG uses its own OLED panel here, equipped with micro-lenses. Thanks to them, W-OLED type panels have achieved brightness that just a short while ago seemed beyond their reach.
Excellent blacks, very high brightness, and stunning color reproduction make the LG G4 simply one of the best choices in its class. For gamers, it's the perfect television – 144 Hz, instant response time, full HDMI 2.1. Literally a gaming monster.
LG C4
If you do not care about such high maximum brightness but want to keep most of the advantages of the G4 model, it's worth looking at the LG C4. This is also an OLED from 2024, based on the same panel technology, but devoid of the micro-lens layer. In everyday use, the differences – apart from brightness – are slight, and choosing this model can lead to significant savings.
The C4 also offers perfect black, saturated colors, excellent motion handling, a complete set of HDMI 2.1 ports, and 144 Hz refresh rate. Both televisions run on the WebOS system, which we are big fans of – an intuitive interface, convenient remote control with a gyroscope, access to all the major applications. It is also worth mentioning the Re:new program, which ensures that system updates and new features are available for 5 years after the release. By purchasing an older model, you won't miss out on any innovations.
Samsung S90D
A model worth considering is the Samsung S90D – a direct competitor to the LG C4, offering very similar properties. In most sizes, it uses the same generation of W-OLED panels. The exception – and the most highly recommended version – is the 65-inch variant with a QD-OLED panel.
Cheapest OLEDs from the sale!
Samsung S85D
Samsung stirred quite a commotion by releasing this television (S85D), but not because of its technical specifications, rather due to its very attractive price – it can currently be purchased for around 3200 zł. For comparison – that’s often the price of a regular 120 Hz LCD TV without local dimming. Meanwhile, the S85D is a full-fledged OLED: ideal contrast, great motion fluidity, and very decent colors – especially after calibration. It’s a suggestion for those who sit down in the evenings to watch a series, a movie, or play on a console. The 120 Hz panel, support for the motion smoothing system that also works in games – all of this makes even on an older generation console the image looks better.
LG B4
LG B4 is a direct competitor to S85D – also OLED, but with Dolby Vision, which is missing in Samsung. If you care about this format, B4 will be the better choice. However, watch out for the prices – if B4 costs as much as C4, it’s definitely better to add those 100-200 PLN to C4. But if it’s closer to the price of S85D – then it’s definitely worth it. It’s a great compromise – with Dolby Vision, full support for gamers, and picture quality that no LCD in this budget offers.
Great alternatives that could drop significantly in price!
Philips OLED809
Although the price of the Philips OLED809 is still higher than that of its competitors from Korea, such as the LG C4 or Samsung S90D, it is a model that we can definitely recommend. It is one of the few OLEDs from this brand that runs on the Google TV system – instead of the heavily limited Titan OS found in cheaper Philips models. This gives us access to a significantly larger number of applications and better integration with a Google account. The Philips OLED809 is also a unique model in terms of aesthetics – mainly thanks to the Ambilight technology, which can enchant a viewing experience by illuminating the wall behind the TV with colors that match the picture. For many, this detail will be the deciding factor in choosing a television.
Panasonic Z85A
Z85A is an OLED from Panasonic that has been reasonably priced since its launch. The standard price for the 55" variant hovers around 1K – so we don't have the classic "paying extra for the brand" situation here. This model offers a decent image processor, very good black quality, support for gamers, and a panel that matches other OLEDs in this budget.
However, it's worth being cautious about the availability of applications – the Panasonic Z85A runs on the Amazon Fire TV system, which is not yet well-developed in Europe, (especially in Poland). This may mean that some popular services or applications available on Google TV or WebOS might be missing.
Is OLED not everything?
As you've probably noticed – we have seven models, and all of them are OLEDs. For good reason. Year after year, they are getting cheaper and in terms of quality, they are practically unmatched. Brightness? A bit lower than in Mini LEDs. But black, contrast, angles, fluidity – OLED still leads.
Of course, we haven't listed all the OLED models here because that's not what this is all about. That doesn't mean we don't recommend the others – it just means that in our opinion, these specific models have dropped in price the most or will soon cost significantly less than the competition and stand out the most among the entire offering.
However, if you're interested in other types of TVs, such as Mini LED, or if you want to see which models of a given brand we recommend, we also have something for you! In the next article, you'll find an overview of the best LCD TVs with local dimming. At the bottom of the page, you'll also find other rankings and comparisons of models – we warmly invite you!
