A total flex: Get a massive 40% off LG’s bendable TV, plus other huge discounts

LG has kicked off its Black Friday sales across a wide range of great tech, including TVs, soundbars, laptops and whitegoods. While many of these discounts are undeniable bargains, one of these gadgets in particular stands out among the pack – the LG OLED Flex, a bendable, curved gaming TV.

If you’re out of the loop or on (or had simply forgotten) the Flex, I don’t blame you – with an AU$4,999 asking price it’s so expensive that only exceedingly well-heeled gamers would likely consider buying one at its RRP. At 40% off, however, it’s a different story entirely. When pressing a button on the TV’s remote, you can bend the monitor and contort it to the right angle for your current seating position. Because it’s intended to be a monitor-TV hybrid, it’s more aimed at PC or console gamers that are trying to mix their lounge rooms and gaming desks into one. It’s an exceptionally cool idea that’s well executed, but that narrow use case means the LG OLED Flex is limited to a 42-inch option.

Not that this stopped it from receiving a TechRadar Best in Class seal of approval in our LG OLED Flex review. The TV offers gorgeous picture quality on a fast, 120Hz capable panel, with brilliant port selection that makes it ideal either on the desk or the TV cabinet. We did feel its on-screen display menu was perhaps a little large, and also noted that because the screen can change its form factor, you’ll obviously have to keep the space clutter-free to avoid damage and bumping things over.

LG is a TechRadar preferred partner ( What does this mean?)

Now to be fair, the OLED Flex isn’t the only thing LG has dropped the price on. Another deal that you should absolutely consider is the 65-inch LG QNED86 telly, capable of pulling off more vibrant colours than an OLED display, at the trade-off of less deep blacks.

And obviously, the lounge room setting isn’t complete without a soundbar. Thankfully, LG has discounted two of its soundbar and subwoofer combos, including the affordable S40T and the mid-range SH7Q.

LG’s Black Friday sales event begins today (Thursday, 21 November) and will run all the way until Wednesday, 4 December, two days after Cyber Monday, so you have plenty of time to snatch up a bargain.
