If you've got that post-grad money saved up, you might want to consider this amazing 48-inch OLED TV that doubles as a monitor.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
When I was in college over a decade ago, I spent hundreds of hours in front
of a 19-inch Samsung LED-LCD TV that had a max resolution of 720p. It was
fine for the time HDMI was still new at the time, after all, and it felt cutting-edge but it still cost me hundreds of dollars for a TV that really wasn't that good.
That's par for the course. Everyone buys something cheap to get them through school. But when I got out, I still used that TV for another four years. At that point, I really wish I splurged on something nicer... something like the 48-inch LG CX OLED .
What I hadn't considered is just how much time I'd spend huddled around that 19-inch screen. I used it for work. I used it to game. Heck, I used it to
host movie nights. I used it for basically everything and, had I known that,
I probably wouldve paid a bit more money to get something I truly loved.

Save $250 - It's an amazing TV. It's a great monitor. It's both. The LG OLED TV can be both your go-to screen for both work and play when heading back to school and it's available at a $250 discount.
Admittedly, there was nothing quite as advanced as the LG CX OLED available
at the time I graduated in 2012 and the closest I couldve gotten was a decently sized plasma screen which was also pretty pricey at the time but I cant help but feel like all that time I spent in front the TV wouldve been more enjoyable had I just sprung for higher-end screen. Here's why you should spend extra for an OLED
Let me start off by saying that I dont think that an OLED is a great investment for everyone, especially if you're not necessarily a TV watcher. But if youre someone whos planning on spending hours every day in front of a screen for work, play and fun, then its probably worth considering if it fits into your budget.
The reason Id recommend an OLED specifically the CX OLED is that its currently one of the best all-around TVs. Its great for TV and movie watching thanks to its outstanding black levels, while gamers can use it as both a 120Hz gaming monitor or in tandem with the PS5 or Xbox Series X .
It has larger viewing angles than an LED-LCD TV, which means its great for hosting people, too, and at just 48-inches you should be able to squeeze it into an on-campus apartment or even a large dorm room without a problem.
The LG CX is expensive when youre first striking out on your own and might even be a risky investment if you live somewhere where the TV could get damaged but if youre the kind of person who takes care of their gear and doesnt mind spending a bit more for quality, then you should definitely give the LG CX OLED some consideration.
