$1,099 for a 65" OLED? Prime Day's Final Hours Deliver

A 65-inch OLED for under $1,100 would have sounded absurd two years ago. On the final day of Amazon Prime Day, the 2025 65" LG Evo C5 4K OLED has dropped to $1,099.99, down from its $2,499.99 list price and beating yesterday's already-discounted $1,199.99. That's 56% off, and it's the lowest this TV has ever been priced.

If you play on a PS5 or Xbox Series X and you're still pushing pixels through a mid-range LED panel, this is the upgrade that actually transforms how your games look. The C5 runs LG's Evo panel, which pushes significantly higher brightness and a wider colour gamut than older W-OLED screens. You get the near-infinite contrast ratio and response times that make OLED panels so good for dark scenes in horror games or fast-paced shooters, but with enough peak brightness that HDR content doesn't look washed out in a lit room. I've been recommending LG's C-series to anyone who asks me about a gaming TV for years now, and at this price, it's not even a conversation.

The gaming feature set covers everything current-gen consoles can throw at it: a native 120Hz panel that can push to 144Hz, HDMI 2.1 inputs, variable refresh rate, and auto low latency mode. In practical gameplay terms, that means your PS5's 120fps modes in games like Resident Evil Requiem or Hades II will actually run at their intended frame rate without screen tearing, and input lag stays low enough that competitive players won't notice the difference between this and a gaming monitor. For a 65-inch screen at $1,099, that's a staggering amount of display for the money.

Games Worth Grabbing Before Midnight

The TV deal is the headliner, but Prime Day's final hours also have some game discounts that caught my eye. Resident Evil Requiem on PS5 is 20% off at $55.99, and the Switch 2 version is down to $53.19. As someone who will play anything with the Resident Evil name on it, I'm glad to see a recent release getting a meaningful cut this quickly.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 is 36% off at $44.99, and the original Switch version is half price at $29.99 with a free Switch 2 upgrade. Pokémon Legends: Z-An on Switch 2 has hit $44.99 as a Lightning Deal. On the PS5 side, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is down to $19.99, which is half of what it was already discounted to earlier this year, and Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is $25.38. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is $39.99 on PS5, a solid price for one of 2025's better RPGs.

If you're not sure what to buy, Amazon also has 5% off $10 PlayStation and Xbox gift cards, and 10% off $10 Nintendo eShop gift cards. You can grab two of each. The savings are small individually, but Nintendo discounts in particular are rare enough that any percentage off feels like finding money in a coat pocket.

The C5 deal is available at both Amazon and Best Buy at the same $1,099.99 price. Prime Day ends today, and given that this TV dropped another $100 between yesterday and this morning, I wouldn't count on the price sticking around once the sale closes.
