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.

Kae James says
November 17, 2014 at 8:14 pmIf 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.

Chrystal @ YUM eating says
November 18, 2014 at 1:05 pmI 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.

Rosey says
November 19, 2014 at 2:49 amMy 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. 😀 🙂

TrippyCusp93 says

lisa says
November 20, 2014 at 3:36 pmI can’t believe the changes in television sets over the years. They get thinner and smarter. Kind of like us women.

November 20, 2014 at 10:04 pmSo 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.

November 22, 2014 at 12:59 amOMG My husband would be in seventh heaven if he had one of these big nice TV’s to watch-
MonaG says
November 22, 2014 at 8:51 amWe 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.
christina kunze says
November 22, 2014 at 12:29 pmI 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! 🙂
Janel says

Karen Propes says
November 22, 2014 at 7:07 pmWow, 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.
