OLED TV deals are getting cheaper by the day. Whereas finding a sub-$1,000 OLED used to be near-impossible, now you can find one at that price point on just about any day of the week.
In fact, today’s TV deals are driving OLED TV prices to lows we’ve never seen before. And with Memorial Day TV sales around the corner, prices will only get better. So we’re gathering all the best cheap OLED TV deals in one spot for your convenience. (Also, check out our guide on the best 8K TV deals).
One of our favorite OLED deals comes courtesy of Best Buy. The retailer is taking up to $2,500 off select OLED TVs. The sale includes epic price drops on TVs of all sizes. Best Buy also has our favorite OLED TV (the LG G1) on sale at its lowest price ever. (Make sure to check out our guide to our favorite Best Buy deals for more sales). Plus, check out our initial thoughts on the new Samsung QD-OLED TV.

Why should I buy an OLED TV?
Simply put: No TV technology can rival the performance of an OLED TV. OLED, or organic light-emitting diode, represents a completely different kind of display. No backlight is required in an OLED TV because the organic pixels emit their own light when activated. So each pixel can be completely turned on or off separately.
That means you don’t get that afterglow and light leakage that you typically see in LCD TVs. As a result, OLED TVs deliver intensely deep blacks that even the best QLED TVs can’t rival. Sure, QLED TVs can be brighter than OLED TVs, but for the most pristine picture possible: OLED is still king.

Tips on finding the best OLED TV deals
Unfortunately, there’s no single retailer that offers the best OLED TV deals. Instead, it’s a mix of retailers that includes Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Newegg. If you’re shopping for an OLED TV, our best tip is to compare that model’s price across various sites, including the retailers mentioned above.
That said, Amazon tends to undercut Best Buy’s prices, even if only by a few bucks. For instance, on numerous occasions we’ve seen the LG 55-inch CX OLED on sale for $1,399 at Best Buy, whereas Amazon would have it on sale for $1,349. Or in some instance, Amazon would bundle a free LG XBOOM speaker, whereas Best Buy wouldn’t offer any freebies.
What are the cheapest OLED TV deals we’ve seen?
During the holiday season, Best Buy had the Vizio 55-inch 4K OLED TV on sale for $899. It was the best OLED TV deal of all time. (Previously, OLED TV deals would max out at $999). However, prices have dipped even lower this year. We’re consistently seeing 48-inch LG OLEDs for as low as $795. Sure, it’s not as big as a 55-inch TV, but it’s easily the least expensive OLED TV deal we’ve ever seen.
Prime Day and OLED TVs
We’re still weeks away from Amazon Prime Day, but we expect Prime Day TV deals to drop OLED prices to new lows. To date, the least expensive OLED has been the 48-inch LG A1 OLED priced at $795. While we don’t think price will drop dramatically, we could see more 48-inch OLEDs at this price point. Likewise, we expect Vizio’s 55-inch OLED to hit $899. Make sure to follow our Prime Day deals guide for hints on what to expect from Amazon this year.
Are refurbished OLED TV deals worth it?
While there are refurb OLED TV deals you can take advantage of, the savings aren’t as high as you may think. For instance, the LG 55-inch B8 OLED TV usually sells for $1,199 and has dropped as low as $999. Amazon sometimes sells the refurb LG 55-inch B8 OLED TV for $999. Sure, it’s $200 off, but we’ve already seen new models hit this price point before, albeit, not very often.
More importantly, you only get a 90-day warranty and if you dislike anything about your refurb TV (perhaps it might have more nicks and scratches than you like) return shipping might fall on your, which could quickly get expensive.
