The LG CS 65-inch 4K OLED is a sleek slab of shiny onyx that may appear like a TV, but it hides an intricate web of apps, services, and entertainment.

It’s an ideal loungeroom companion, a capable panel running the same α9 Gen5 AI processor as the award-winning (and currently top pick in our roundup of the best TVs) C2 OLED TV, but using a standard OLED panel without the brightness booster tech found in the C2.

Which makes it an impressive hybrid, capable of streaming video and gaming as well as showing spectacular 4K art. The lower price compared to the C2 means it’s a fantastic option for potential TV buyers after a more affordable OLED TV.
