Trying to pick out a new TV can be confusing, with so many sizes, brands, and features available. While you don’t need to worry about learning every acronym, one feature that can be helpful to keep an eye out for is OLED. Standing for organic light emitting diode, this is a variation on LED technology which gives better contrast when comparing OLED and traditional LED TVs.
However, all of this new TV technology doesn’t come cheap, and you’ll find OLED TVs can be pricey. There are ways to save on OLED TVs though, even those from top brands like Sony and LG. We’ve gone scouring through retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart to find the very best prices on OLED TVs to help you score a bargain. And if you’re looking for something more affordable then we also have a page of 4K TV deals, with deals starting as low as $300.

How to choose an OLED TV
Start with size. How much space is available in the room? 50 inches? 60 inches? 75 inches? Scribble it down so you don’t forget. Keep in mind that screen size is not equivalent to how wide the television is. This measurement is taken from corner to corner, and only accounts for the screen. So always consult the actual dimensions (width, height, and depth) to see if it will fit.
Now you’re armed with this vital information, the next step is to start your search. When it comes to OLED TVs, there are two main players: LG and Sony. There isn’t a huge difference between them in the screen department, but Sony’s software and image processing are far superior, with its latest OLED TV taking home the crown for the best TV on the shelves right now.

That way you can be certain you’re getting the most bang for your buck (reminder: Our experts vetted all the choices).
Are OLED TVs better than QLED TVs?
As we concluded in our QLED vs OLED comparison, OLED TVs are better than QLED TVs. But what is it that makes OLED TVs la crème de la crème? That’s simple — OLED TVs have better viewing angles, can reach a more obsidian-like black level, and consume a lot less power than QLED TVs. They also have a faster response time, less input lag, and a higher refresh rate.
What does this mean in the real world, though? Watching a fast-paced action movie or the latest sporting event? The obsidian-like black levels, faster response time, and higher refresh rate result in lifelike viewing. Having some friends over to watch The Mandalorian? They’ll appreciate the superior viewing angles. Bingeing The Crown? It won’t cost a fortune in electricity.
Do OLED TVs have HDR?
Found an OLED TV without HDR? Firstly, take this medal for you’ve achieved the unthinkable. Second, run for the hills. OLED TVs are designed to represent the best manufacturers have to offer, so you simply won’t find one that doesn’t ship with HDR. After all, it’s this that draws richer detail and more accurate color from the scene at hand, bringing the picture to life.
