The 65-inch LG C5 OLED evo stands out for brighter OLED performance, especially in semi-bright rooms, while still making a strong upgrade from older TVs. It is also a better fit than the B5 if you want more brightness, and Dolby Vision is not essential unless you mainly watch Dolby Vision Blu-rays. The deal math lands around $1,169 before tax in one checkout example, with another purchase totaling $1,243.99 after tax. The main cautions are the one-year warranty and reports that LG's free installation through Angi can be slow and unreliable. It is a solid upgrade if the room and setup fit its strengths.
Viewers upgrading from an older bedroom TV, because the C5 is a clear brightness step up and suits a semi-bright room.
The checkout math shown for this deal lands around $1,169.09 before tax after MEMORIAL10 and an additional $56.69 promo, and one purchase came to $1,243.99 after tax. Free shipping is included.
The free installation can be unreliable: the TV may stay boxed for days, installers may leave if the set is too heavy, and appointments can be missed or rescheduled. It is worth planning for possible delays if you rely on the included install.
Dolby Vision is not essential for most viewing because HDR10 and HDR10+ work well. The LG C5 makes the most sense if you specifically want Dolby Vision, especially for Blu-rays that use it.

I'm new to OLED TVs, so I'm torn between getting a 65-inch B5 for 809 or a C5 for 1080x Can someone share their opinion?
Saw these two in person side-by-side and C5 is better B5 in terms of brightness. That said, it also depends on your budget and what TV you are upgrading from. UHD to B5 would be upgrade, other oleds (B3/B4) to B5 not so much. Also consider where (room) this TV is going to be in, if its semi-bright, C5 would be better, if its dark, B5 would be good enough.

The 65-inch LG C5 OLED evo stands out for brighter OLED performance, especially in semi-bright rooms, while still making a strong upgrade from older TVs. It is also a better fit than the B5 if you want more brightness, and Dolby Vision is not essential unless you mainly watch Dolby Vision Blu-rays. The deal math lands around $1,169 before tax in one checkout example, with another purchase totaling $1,243.99 after tax. The main cautions are the one-year warranty and reports that LG's free installation through Angi can be slow and unreliable. It is a solid upgrade if the room and setup fit its strengths.
The checkout math can bring the 65-inch C5 down to about $1,169.09 before any Sling credit, using MEMORIAL10 plus an additional promo.
The C5 can be a better fit for semi-bright rooms because it is brighter than the B5 in side-by-side viewing.
The deal can land at an out-the-door total around $1,243.99 after tax for the C5 purchase.
The C5 can work well as a long-overdue bedroom upgrade when replacing a much older TV.
The additional discount amount may not apply consistently, since some shoppers only see the MEMORIAL10 reduction and not the extra $56.69.
LG's free installation through Angi can fail in practice, including missed appointments and an installer leaving because the TV was too heavy.
The warranty coverage may be limited to one year, which reduces long-term protection expectations.
Dolby Vision may not be a deciding factor for gaming or general HDR use because HDR10/10+ can perform well without it.
