It's time to start buying a new smart TV, and LG has announced pricing for its 2021 lineup of 4K OLED TVs, which it unveiled at CES in January

Before you try to plunk down every penny to buy a new TV, read on Some of the new OLED TVs are relatively affordable, with LG's entry-level prices approaching $1,000

That would be the A1 series, considered LG's entry-level 4K OLED choice this year, with 48-inch models starting at $1,299 This means an older processor without HDMI 21 capabilities, but the set includes Dolby Atmos support It won't be the most reliable set when it comes to avoiding problems like banding and reproducing the truest colors possible, but if you want to be part of LG's latest crop of TVs, this is the tier for you

Here's what to expect from the entire A1 series:

The C1 series is a step up from the A1 TVs and a notch above the traditional CX series from 2020 This means that all of these TVs feature the latest LG processors with AI scene detection and optimization Each size also includes HDMI 21 support, variable refresh rate, eARC, automatic low-latency mode, and 4K at 120 Hz

The C1 Series models support FreeSync and AMD FreeSync Premium and offer special settings for gamers with respect to the Game Optimizer Suite options the C1 tier height is a massive $5,999 for the 83-inch size display Some sizes are available now, with additional options coming in April and May

Finally, the G1 series features LG's new OLED evo panel, which offers a brighter picture than any of LG's previous LED TVs and comes with a wall mount for very thin bezels You also pay for beauty and power as well as features carried over from the C1 series; the smallest model in the G1 series is 55 inches and costs $2,199

If you want to arrange your home around a media hub like LG's new displays, these are the best and most advanced models; 65- and 77-inch models are already available, but the smallest entry-level G1 display won't be available until April
