The Deal
Sam’s Club is selling the 65” LG C5 Series OLED evo AI Smart TV for $1,099.99, and it comes bundled with a 5-year warranty — a nice bit of peace of mind on a TV with a lot of moving (well, glowing) parts. If you’re a Sam’s Club Plus member, shipping is free on top of that.
LG’s C-series has been the go-to “best value OLED” pick for a few years running, and the C5 is the current generation with LG’s AI processor for upscaling and picture optimization. OLED means true blacks and per-pixel contrast — a genuinely different viewing experience than the LED/LCD TVs most families are used to, especially for movie nights or watching sports in a dim room.
Who This Is For
This is a strong fit for anyone who’s been eyeing a real upgrade rather than just a bigger screen. A few specific scenarios:
- Families finishing a summer living-room refresh. Between now and back-to-school, a lot of households are doing one big-ticket home upgrade before the fall schedule kicks back in — this is the kind of purchase that fits that window.
- Movie and sports fans who care about picture quality, not just size. OLED’s contrast is most noticeable in darker scenes, so if you do a lot of evening or nighttime viewing, you’ll actually see the difference.
- Anyone nervous about buying a premium TV without a safety net. A 5-year warranty on an OLED — a panel type that historically worried buyers about burn-in and longevity — is the kind of detail that makes this a lower-risk purchase than buying the same TV elsewhere without extended coverage.
If you mainly watch TV in a bright room during the day, a bright LED/QLED set might actually serve you better and cost less — OLED’s advantage shows up most in controlled lighting.
The Membership Math
The free shipping here is tied to Sam’s Club Plus, the upper membership tier. If you’re only a base Club member, factor shipping into your total cost before deciding, or consider whether picking up in-club sidesteps the issue entirely.
Caveats
This deal was originally flagged in late June, so treat $1,099.99 as the price to verify rather than a guarantee — check the Sam’s Club product page for current availability and price before you drive out or check out online. Slickdeals members who spotted it called it a solid price for the tier of TV you’re getting, and for a 65” OLED with a 5-year warranty, that tracks.
Bottom Line
If a bigger, better TV has been on your list, this is worth a look before you commit to a standard LED set at a similar price point. Check current stock and price at your local Sam’s Club or on SamsClub.com, and confirm your membership tier before you check out so shipping doesn’t surprise you.
