LG Slashes 55EC9300 OLED TV Price to $2299 Through July 4

By Rachel Cericola

This year, you can forget the fireworks. Instead, you'll be too busy ooohing and aaahing at a brand new OLED TV.

LG Electronics just announced plans to slash prices on the 55-inch 55EC9300 1080p OLED TV, specifically for the July 4 holiday. The TV, which was originally listed at $3,500, can now be had for the low price of $2,299. This means you can save over $1,200, which can buy an awful lot of s'mores fixin's.

However, this isn't just an OLED, but it's a curved OLED TV, which means that it promises to wrap you up in that awesome image for a truly immersive viewing experience. The 1080p HDTV also features OLED self-lighting pixels, which can create super dark blacks and brighter whites. It even includes LG's 4-Color Pixel technology, which adds a white sub-pixel into the usual red/green/blue mix for a wider palette.

Of course, you probably want your new TV purchase to be a smart TV purchase---and this one is, thanks to LG's webOS platform. Besides getting your app fix on the big screen, this set includes a Launcher bar for favorites and a more personalized experience. It even has Smart Share for streaming content from your favorite compatible portables, as well as Dual Play for head-to-head split-screen gaming on one screen (with AG-F400DP glasses, which are sold separately).

Other features include 3D support, 2D-to-3D conversion, four HDMI inputs, three USB ports, and a bezel that's only 0.17 inches at its thinnest point. It also comes with LG's Magic Remote, which includes Voice Mate speech recognition features.

It's also important to note that this is the same TV we said had the "Best HDTV Picture Ever." It's also the same one that took the top honors at the 2014 Value Electronics TV Shootout. That means it's an awesome TV---at an awesome price!

That said, the price is for a limited time, so you may want to jump on it. Amazon has it discounted right now, but make sure you order directly from them and not one of the retailer's third-party merchants. Not only are they offering the discounted price, but also free shipping right to your front door with Enhanced Delivery. That option means that someone will deliver it, unpack the TV to inspect it for damage, and dispose of the packing materials. Another Amazon perk is the Low Price Guarantee. In other words, if you can find this exact set for less within 14 days of the ship date, Amazon will refund you the difference. Just make sure to buy before the last hot dog is served and the final round of fireworks are shot off or you may miss out!
