LG's C5 OLED stands out as a bright 4K HDR upgrade, especially for movies and games, with sharper HDR and stronger brightness than older CX and C9 sets. Picture quality is described as excellent, and side by side comparisons with other OLEDs did not reveal an obvious difference. The main catch is that the clearance price is highly local, with nearby stores showing anything from about $1,296 to nearly $1,700. It feels most compelling when found in person at a true clearance shelf, especially if replacing an aging OLED.
Local clearance hunters willing to check stores in person, because the deal can be dramatically cheaper at one Walmart than another.
Movie and game viewers upgrading from an older OLED, because brightness and HDR are the biggest improvements while the picture can look nearly identical side by side.
Yes. The deal is highly local: one store showed $971 clearance, while other nearby stores showed online prices around $1,296.99 to nearly $1,700. It appears to be a true in-store clearance find rather than a universal price.
It can be a worthwhile upgrade mainly for brightness and HDR, but the jump is not dramatic for every use case. If your CX is still working well, keeping it in another room is a reasonable alternative to replacing it.
At $971 it is a strong clearance price for a 65-inch OLED, but it is not necessarily cost-effective if you are buying only for a small improvement. The value is strongest for people who want the brighter HDR picture and are already planning an OLED purchase.
For daily PC use, the main upgrade is brightness and much better HDR. The difference for a desktop monitor setup can be minimal, but movies and games benefit more from the C5's improved HDR performance.
The clearance units were described as brand-new stock, not open-box returns. The shelf was priced out across the full space, and the box had shipping straps and new packaging.
I think a returned item would not be labeled as clearance. That would be open box. Clearance is another whole situation
Exactly. If you look at my photo, it's the entire shelf space that's priced out not just 1 box. The box was in brand new packaging with the shipping straps around the box as well. It certainly was a brand new product.
Still rocking my 65" CX. Is this worth the upgrade? I would move my CX to a bedroom if I was to buy a new one.
I've been using a 55" CX every single day developing software for like 6 years now. The biggest upgrade will be brightness and waaaaay better HDR. For my purpose of a PC screen difference is minimal but for movies and games big difference.

Thanks, we use it everyday as well. I don't see any problem with the display but I am a big fan of 4K HDR movies/shows. Just got to find a way to convince the wife that's it's a justifiable purchase, since she said she couldn't tell the difference when we upgraded to a 4K OLED from an 1080P. Sigh!
