Time is of the essence here, so we’ll cut to the chase: Amazon has just discounted the 55-inch LG B8 OLED 4K TV for Cyber Monday, dropping it from $1,350 down to just $874 — a total savings of $426. The best bit? It’s the only OLED TV on the shelves for less than $900, so if you’ve been looking for a reason to chop in your HDTV for something more in line with the times, here it is.

While there are more high-end alternatives for hardcore videophiles, the 55-inch LG B8 is the path to take for the average Joe wanting to breathe fresh life into their home entertainment setup — representing a tremendous step up from an HDTV and even a standard 4K TV. That’s because what we’re looking at here is an OLED TV, otherwise known as the best in the business.

Why? Because OLED TVs are a lot more detailed, deliver a faster response time and refresh rate, consume less power, and have a far better viewing angle than their flagship QLED counterparts (and not to mention run-of-the-mill LED TVs, akin to the one at the center of your home entertainment setup now). The result is a more vibrant, vivid, image that can’t be matched.

This is true for the 55-inch LG B8, one of the more reserved OLED 4K TVs on the shelves, hence why a 55-inch model is coming in at $874 with a discount, which is about what you’d usually pay for a 70-inch Samsung 4K TV when it isn’t on sale for only $550. But again, the LG B8 is in a completely different league in the picture department, bringing praise to the OLED name.

It’s a bit like how you pay more per square foot of living and recreational space for a house in a nice neighborhood: You’re going to need to part with more cash per inch of screen space if you want a high-end television. The reason being? The cost to develop and manufacture the hardware is a lot higher, which forces the overall price up. So you’re investing in quality here.

Dig deeper than the souped-up, ultra-immersive viewing experience the 55-inch LG B8 brings to the table and you’ll find multi-format HDR (headlined by both Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma) for extracting every last drop of detail from supported content and LG’s intuitive webOS smart software for one-click streaming through the likes of Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.

If you’re serious about having the most immersive, detailed viewing experience you can buy for less $900, the 55-inch LG B8 is absolutely the way to go — marking the first time an OLED has ever slipped below the mark. However, if you’re in the market for something a little different — maybe something with a bigger screen — you aren’t entirely out of luck.

There are several other fantastic Cyber Monday TV deals available to celebrate Cyber Monday (duh!), including a 43-inch Samsung NU6900 for $230, a 55-inch TCL 4-Series for $280, a 60-inch LG UM6950 for $400, a 65-inch Vizio V-Series for $450, and a 70-inch Samsung 6-Series for $550. So there’s absolutely no reason to not take home a shiny new 4K TV today.

Bargain hunters on the lookout for more fantastic offers ought to take a peek at our list of the best Cyber Monday deals. We’ll be updating it from now through the event, so we’d recommend making it your one-stop-shop for all the latest savings.

Sling TV — the third-largest of the live-streaming services in the U.S. — announced today in a blog post that it will stream some live sports in 4K resolution. It joins the likes of YouTube TV and Fubo with that feature, though it has limitations that the other services do not.

All of the services are limited in what they can stream in 4K — it's ultimately up to the source material. But Sling TV has an added limitation in that the higher resolution is only available in certain locations.

LG rolls out its gamer-friendly M4 wireless OLED TV
LG OLED M4 wireless TV.

LG has announced the latest generation of its wireless OLED TV -- the LG OLED evo M4 (originally announced at CES) -- began its official rollout on July 1.

The new model comes with two big changes that could see it find a home in households where gaming is a big part of the entertainment mix. The first is the addition of 4K video at 144Hz. While that won't mean much to folks who primarily watch movies and TV shows, it's a significant change for gamers who enjoy high-frame-rate titles. With native support for a 144Hz refresh rate, these games are going to look even smoother than they did on the OLED evo M3, which topped out at 4K/120Hz. Just keep in mind that the biggest M4 -- the 97-inch model -- is still limited to 4K/120Hz.
