LG G5 OLED TV Cyber Monday Deals 2025?

To add to the point above: I saw this earlier and kept thinking about the mounting situation. Are you planning to put this on a wall or do you need it to sit on a media console? The G-series is amazing but it doesnt actually come with a stand in the box, which caught me off guard when I first looked into them. Since youre worried about the long-term, here are a few things I'd look at for the LG G5 65 inch OLED Evo TV or the larger LG G5 77 inch OLED Evo TV:

• Check the warranty fine print. LG usually does a 5-year panel warranty on these, but labor costs for the repair might only be covered for the first year. It is a bit of a trade-off.
• Think about the power supply. A high-end set like this deserves more than a cheap power strip. Maybe grab something like the Panamax MR4000 Power Management to handle surges and keep the power clean.
• Professional help. If you arent super handy, look for bundles that include setup because those flush mounts are kinda tricky to get perfectly level. It is a lot of money to drop at once so I am definitely in the camp of being extra cautious. What is your total budget looking like once you add in the extra hardware or potential mounting costs?

Hey, I’m in almost the same boat – I upgraded from a 2017 4K set to an LG G3 last year and tracked prices way too hard.

Short answer: in my experience, the *best* deals on the G‑series haven’t usually been **Cyber Monday**, they were either:
- the **main Black Friday weekend**, or
- random “flash” promos 1–2 weeks *before* BF that quietly matched/beat it.

For my G3 65":
- Best Buy and Costco were strongest overall
- Costco won for me because of the **extra 3‑year warranty** + cheap Allstate protection
- Best Buy was better on **gift-card bundles** (I got a $200 gift card), but their extended warranty was pricier
- Amazon was OK on price, but warranty/support felt more hit-or-miss for a wall‑mounted, premium set

If you’re eyeing the G5 65"/77", I’d suggest:
1. **Track prices from early November**, not just the week of BF/CM.
2. Make sure you factor in: wall-mount included, warranty years, and return policy – not just sticker price.
3. Be careful with “Cyber Monday only” hype – last year I saw the “deal” be identical to BF, just rebranded.

If you really care about warranty and hassle-free returns (and you’re wall mounting), I’d personally lean **Costco first, Best Buy second**, Amazon only if the discount is clearly better by a couple hundred.

Hope this helps!

Hey, kinda went down this rabbit hole with the G3 + G4 pricing and some Sony/QD‑OLEDs this year, so here’s what I’ve seen:

From a *pure numbers* standpoint, Cyber Monday hasn’t been massively better than Black Friday on G‑series. It’s usually either:
- **Same price with different perks** (gift cards, free soundbar, streaming credits), or
- **Minor extra cut** like $100–200 on the 77" if stock is slow.

Where it *does* change a bit is retailer strategy:
- **Costco/Sam’s**: not always the absolute lowest sticker price, but you get the 5‑year warranty / Allstate type coverage baked in. For an OLED used for gaming (static HUDs, menus) that’s actually worth real money.
- **Best Buy**: watch for **Total/Plus** member deals and open‑box “Excellent” units the week *after* BF. I scored a G‑series that way once for ~15% under the Cyber Monday price.
- **Amazon**: tends to match big promos quickly, but warranty is weaker unless you add 3rd‑party coverage.

On the tech side, if you’re mainly after 120Hz + VRR and brightness, I’d keep an eye on:
- **G4 price drops** vs **G5 early adopter tax**. Historically, the “n‑1” model (G4 in 2025) gets the *real* aggressive cuts on Cyber Monday, while the brand‑new G5 just gets “marketing” discounts.
- Check if G5 actually gives you a noticeable bump over G4 in the stuff you care about: near‑black handling, ABL behavior in bright games, TPC logo dimming, etc. Sometimes LG’s big HDR brightness headline doesn’t translate into a huge upgrade for mixed gaming + TV use.

Lesson learned from chasing OLED deals a few years in a row: if you’re set on **G5 specifically**, don’t expect Cyber Monday to blow away Black Friday. Plan on:
1. Tracking BF prices (including bundles + warranty value, not just sticker).
2. Setting a “buy if it hits X” number for 65" and 77".
3. Having a backup plan of a discounted **G4 77"** if G5 stays pricey – you might get 95% of the experience for way less.

FWIW, if you post your max budget for each size, people can sanity‑check whether it’s realistic for BF vs CM based on prior years.

Hope this helps!

If you’re budget‑minded, I’d actually target the **month of November as a whole**, not just Cyber Monday – G‑series usually hits its *best price floor* via: (1) a big advertised Black Friday/Cyber deal **plus** (2) stacked stuff like credit card offers, retailer gift cards, and cashback sites. I’d set a “buy” line of ~30% off MSRP for the 65" G5 and only jump to 77" if it gets ~35–40% off, because the size jump is amazing but the price jump often isn’t. For value: Costco/Sam’s are fantastic for the baked‑in extra warranty, Best Buy is great if you can stack **TotalTech/My Best Buy + card promos**, and Amazon is mostly best when you can use cashback portals + credit card points. Practically: decide now which mount/stand, HDMI 2.1 cables, and surge/UPS you want, and price those too – the “hidden” accessories can kill your budget more than the BF vs CM difference, which is usually like $50–200, not hundreds. Hope this helps!

Hey,

So I’m kind of the DIY nut in my friend group, and I went way too hard on this with my G3 last year and a C2 the year before. Different angle from the other replies: I’d plan your **Cyber Monday strategy around what you’re willing to do yourself vs pay a pro for**.

**Story/context:**
- C2: I did everything myself – price tracking, buying from an online-only retailer, mounting it, running the cables, calibrating. Saved a bunch.
- G3: I went half‑and‑half. Bought from Costco online for the warranty, skipped the “pro” install, but still did my own basic calibration and mount.

**What this means for a G5 / Cyber Monday plan:**

1. **DIY install vs Geek Squad / pro mount**
G‑series is meant to sit flush on the wall. If you’re comfortable: stud finder, decent drill, and a helper… you’re good. Retailers love to bundle “free installation” that’s basically rolled into the price. If you DIY the mount, you can:
- Chase the **absolute lowest panel price** (often Amazon, BuyDig, etc.)
- Skip the upsell protection plans tied to install

2. **DIY calibration / setup**
On Cyber Monday you’ll see “pro calibration” add‑ons. IMO, for LG G‑series it’s overkill for most people:
- Use Filmmaker Mode or ISF modes
- Turn off most motion smoothing and junk processing
- Run the built‑in panel care stuff as recommended

That’s 90% of the benefit without paying $200+.

3. **Where this impacts retailer choice**
If you’re willing to DIY:
- **Amazon / online A/V shops**: often the best raw price on the TV itself during Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
- **Costco / Sam’s**: decent price + extra warranty, but you don’t *have* to pay for install. Good middle ground if you want safety net but still do the fun stuff yourself.

**Lesson learned (for me):**
Cyber Monday usually didn’t magically beat Black Friday, but **DIY is where the real savings are**. I saved more by:
- Mounting it myself
- Skipping “pro” calibration
- Being flexible on retailer since I didn’t care about bundled install

So if you’re handy and don’t mind a Saturday project, you can absolutely prioritize the **cheapest G5 price** you see in late Nov and ignore most of the “bundle” noise. The G5 should look amazing with just a bit of manual tweaking.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you wanna sanity‑check a mount or setup plan when the time comes.

Hey, one angle I haven’t seen mentioned yet: if you’re eyeing the G5, I’d base my Black Friday vs Cyber Monday strategy around **safety/reliability stuff**, not just price.

My tip: **prioritize retailers that give you clean, easy support for high‑end OLED issues (burn‑in, panel failures, shipping damage)** even if the Cyber Monday price is a bit lower somewhere else.

Here’s what I’d look for:

1. **Warranty + burn‑in coverage**
- Costco/Sam’s: usually 2nd year included + cheap SquareTrade/Allstate add‑ons that explicitly mention burn‑in.
- Best Buy TotalTech/Geek Squad: check if their protection plan still covers image retention on OLEDs; it used to be a decent safety net.

2. **Return window & dead‑pixel policy**
- Around BF/CM some retailers quietly shorten return windows or get picky about panel uniformity complaints. I’d screenshot the policy before buying.

3. **Shipping & handling risk (especially 77")**
- For a 77", I’d personally go local pickup or white‑glove delivery. Big panels are stupid easy to flex/crack in transit.

So in my opinion, if Cyber Monday is, say, only ~$100–200 better but from a sketchier seller or worse warranty terms, it’s not worth it on a premium OLED like the G5. Play it a bit conservative and pay for the safer channel.

Hope this helps!

Hey, I’ve been tracking OLED pricing for years now (LG, Sony, Samsung) and, unfortunately, the “LG premium tax” on G‑series is very real.

From a *market* angle: LG G5 will likely hold its price longer than Samsung S95D/S90D or Sony’s A80L successor. In past cycles, Samsung’s QD‑OLEDs dropped harder around Cyber Monday, while LG G‑series moved slower and relied more on gift cards/installation promos than raw price cuts.

If you’re mainly after 120Hz + VRR and brightness, I’d *also* watch:
- **Samsung S90D/S95D** 65/77" – usually more aggressive Cyber Monday discounts
- **Sony mid/high OLED** – not as cheap, but sometimes better bundle/warranty at Costco/Best Buy

For pure deal‑hunting, I’d compare: G5 sale price vs Samsung/Sony equivalents that week, not just G5 vs G5 over time. My bet: LG G5 won’t be the *cheapest* great gaming OLED on Cyber Monday, but might win on features + ecosystem if the bundle (mount, extended warranty, gift card) is decent.

So my approach would be: track all three brands, set a target number for each size (like “if 77" G5 hits $X, pull the trigger; otherwise pivot to Samsung/Sony”).

Hope this helps!
