I bought my first LG television about seven years ago, and I was thrilled with it. It was the first truly flat screen TV I had, and just about everything about it delighted me – the bigger screen, the clearer picture, the fact that I could move the thing without a crane and six strong men.
Technology moves fast, though, especially in the area of home theater systems. What was cutting edge seven years ago would probably be considered stone-age today. Once I moved on to a television with internet-connectivity (and Netflix streaming!), I knew I could never go back (to think I survived a childhood limited to half a dozen channels! Quelle horreur!).
Now, LG is offering the Next Big Thing at Best Buy, and it’s ah-mazing. LG OLED offers what is being called “the ultimate display”, and it is absolutely gorgeous.
First of all, at only 0.21” thick at its thinnest point, the OLED makes my current flat-screen look bulky. It delivers a natural, realistic-looking viewing experience with something called “infinite contrast ratio” and four color pixel technology (which enhances both color range and accuracy), both of which concepts go over my head but sound awesome.
Finally, the OLED offers an intuitive webOS™Smart TV interface which allows you to find content super-fast. This thrills me, because I have become one of those obnoxious people who has to be attached to the internet in one way or another 24/7. You can pry my iPhone 5 with 4G from my cold, dead fingers; how else am I supposed to find the location of the recently opened cat café? (Kitties!!!!!)
Um, I digress, I think. But! Kitties look even cuter on the LG OLED screen – their whiskers more whisker-like, their fur looks so soft you can imagine you can reach out and touch it. (Don’t do that! You’ll smudge the beautiful curved screen!) The point is, this is a television that has it all – lightning fast technology that gives you the content you want without the wait, and delivers it beautifully as well, all without breaking the bank. Best Buy’s everyday price for the LG OLED is $3499.99, offering a savings of $500. You can learn more at LGOLEDatBestbuy.com.

Our family loves our televisions. Our oldest one is actually from Best Buy and it’s still perfect.
My husband and I are crushing on that TV big time. We were thinking about getting it as a Christmas gift for each other this year.
My husband talks about these TVs all the time. We can’t afford it at the moment but I promised him it would be our next big purchase.
I would love to have a thinner flat screen. We own an LG now, so when we upgrade we will definitely take another LG into consideration. We love our current one!
Wow that looks amazing! We need a new TV for the living room and I am wanting to get my husband something awesome for Christmas! I will definitely be checking this out!
We want to get a T.V. for our living room. This one sounds like a winner.
Sorry to say that a tv is not on the list this year. Looks like a good one.
We have an LG TV right now and we love it! This one looks amazing, too!
We haven’t even had a flat screen for that long, I don’t know if I could handle something so cool. But I’d love to try!
The picture on these sets is beyond anything I could have imagined. I can’t wait to have one!
Best Buy is always one of our holiday shopping destinations. They have something for everyone!
My husband and I have been dreaming about this TV. It just may be our family holiday gift this year.
It is SUCH a beautiful TV! I need to invest!
This looks like such a cool tv! I need to see it in person. I think it’s such a cool idea – curved TVs! So awesome
I definitely need this in my house! WOW!
only 0.21 thick? I want this TV: It will be a great addition to my family room. I love the colors: stunning
I’ve seen this TV so much that I now think it’s a sign saying that I need to get it! Will have to check it out at Best Buy.
We have two relatively new televisions. We’re still behind in technology. I so want this tv!
If I could afford this TV. I sure would get it. The qualities are amazing! And 4K is the new HD. You’ll have to get Direct TV in order to enjoy this television. They’re the only ones that have the 4K service.
I’m not showing this to the hubs. He’s been searching for new TVs lol.
We need a new TV and this one would be absolutely amazing! Think I have to send a letter to Santa.
This looks like an amazing TV. I am going to be looking to replace my living room TV soon. I will have to go look at this model.
We are looking for a new television. This one might just be the answer to our prayers.
I need to hide this post from my husband – he will definitely want this! He’s such an electronics snob.
I really want one of these curve televisions. I think it will help with my eyes. I have sensitive eyes and our large screen often triggers my migraines. I think the curve might help.
These LG OLED Tv’s are so amazing. Will make for a great holiday gift.
I can see my hubby buying this tv! He’s been looking at upgrading! Looks really nice!
My husband’s TV in his man cave has been ringing. We’re suspecting it’s about to leave us. 😉 I’d love if he got this one, but then his ‘man cave’ might turn into a family cave. 😀 🙂
i could use that one i have flat screen on both hall and then i liie a bigger one
I would love to get this for my hubby for Christmas.
I would love to have a big tv like that in my living room, it’s gorgeous and that picture is amazing!
My husband was telling me about this TV the other night. I think he was hinting that he really wants one. Now the question is … where would we put it? lol
I love how thin these LG tv’s screens are, they look so sleek.
It is amazing how far the TV has come!
I already have it pictured where I would put it, now, for the money to purchase one
This would be a wonderful upgrade to what we have right now. My daughter would love a TV that has Netflix streaming on it!
My husband would absolutely lose his mind if we had one of these! The super slim screen and graphic capability is mind-blowing. I really love the webOS™Smart TV interface feature!
I am in the market for a new TV, I will be checking this one out.
Our current TV is about 12 years old and I am sure we will be looking for a replacement within another year or two.
This sure is an amazing TV! My family would love it!
I would love to have a smart tv. Maybe someday 🙂
I love the features on this smart tv. We have a nice tv, but it does not have all the features of this one.
I can’t believe the changes in television sets over the years. They get thinner and smarter. Kind of like us women.
Forget the hubby I want this for me
I didn’t know TVs this thin existed. Incredible!
This sounds like just what I need!
So the LG OLED TV is the curved TV that I have been hearing so much about. This TV sounds so amazing, I’d love to have one, needless to say. Thank you for sharing this post.
After seeing this I see now my TV is from the stone ages.It’s amazing. It’s out my reach financially right now but it is definitely one I’d want. Thanks for the podt.

Love this TV and thin design and shape. My husband would love it if Santa would bring him one. I never seen one like this before!! Technology is out-running me!
I would love this
OMG My husband would be in seventh heaven if he had one of these big nice TV’s to watch-
We bought our last TV, a 70″ JVC HDTV, 7 years ago. We love it but, other than being big and having great resolution, it was a basic TV. There was no internet connectivity. We used our DVD player for NETFLIX.
I remember the TV we had when I was a kid. It was one of those huge, bulky ones that sit on the floor. There was no remote and only half a dozen channels. Everybody watched TV shows at the same time back then.
I have this on my Christmas wishlist! LG is great! Ihave a LG 3D Smart tv in my bedroom and i love it! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Wow this looks amazing, a new tv is on my wishlist this season and this would fit the bill nicely!
Wow, now this is a TV. We need a new TV ours is having some problems. This TV needs a big name other than Television. It sounds amazing and we would love to have it in our living room. Thanks for sharing. We can’t afford it right now, but now we have something great to save for.
I love LG and I love Best Buy! I think I’ll put this TV on my wish list this year! 🙂
My husband has a new LG new on his Christmas list! 🙂
If you haven’t seen the 4K televisions yet.. They are incredible! I can’t wait to own one.
I would love one of these TVs! I agree the best thing about our flat screen is that it can be moved without calling in reinforcements, lol.
I am putting this on my list to Santa!
I would love to have this! It’s so high tech!
It is crazy to me how they can make these TVs so thin!! I would be afraid of breaking it..:)
Getting into the Christmas specials now. My favorite is It’s A WOnderful Life
I would love to have that for one of my sons~
Wow technology is moving so fast and it just amazes me wondering what they will come out with next !
If it were within our budget we’d love to have this TV – it’s fantastic!
That is amazing.. it sure looks like the ultimate display.
The color display on the tv is amazing and so real true to life looking.
I love the color display on this TV!
this sounds like a great tv, would love to see it
My family has too many TVs as it is, but this one looks so badass I wouldn’t mind trading mine for it 🙂
We need a new TV and these look fantastic. I wish we could afford one but t isnt in the cards right now. i love these TVs!
I would love to have one of these TVs! So awesome!
