LG Cuts TVs by Up to $2,700 in Back-to-School Sale as Monitor Discounts Reach $700

Q: With Black Friday looming, is grabbing these heavily discounted premium LG displays right now a brilliant move or a costly trap?

For many buyers, buying now is smart, not a trap — but only if the specific model is genuinely near its seasonal low and you need it soon. The strongest case for buying now is the pricing on select OLEDs and monitors that already matches or comes close to recent “Black Friday in July” levels. The 65-inch LG C6 at $1,799.99 is notable because it was also seen at roughly that level in earlier summer promotions, and reviews say it brings brighter C-series performance, strong contrast, Dolby Vision, low input lag, and up to 165Hz gaming support. The 77-inch OLED M Series at $2,299.99, down $2,700, also stands out as an unusually steep cut for a premium set. The weaker case is on models with modest discounts. The 65-inch G6 at $3,299.99 is only $100 off in this sale, and other reporting showed that model lower before, around $3,000 during a prior summer promotion. That makes waiting for Black Friday more reasonable if you want the flagship G6 and do not need it now. Black Friday could still bring equal or slightly better prices, especially on premium TVs, because LG regularly runs Labor Day and Black Friday events. But the biggest risk in waiting is stock: LG already says some hot models are running low, and highly discounted premium OLEDs often sell out before late-November shopping peaks. The practical rule is simple: buy now if it is a heavily discounted C-series OLED or monitor you already planned to purchase; wait if the markdown is small, especially on G-series flagships.
