If you’re looking to get OLED picture quality without spending a couple thousand dollars, LG’s 48-inch B5 OLED TV is on sale for $599.99 ($700 off) at Best Buy, which is one of the best prices we’ve seen on the budget-friendly TV. You can also buy the 55-inch model from Amazon, Best Buy, and LG for $799.99 ($700 off), matching its all-time low price.
Our AV reviewer John Higgins was impressed with LG’s B5 OLED. It’s not as bright as higher-end models he’s tested, but the 4K TV still delivers a great-looking picture with accurate, realistic colors. You’re also getting all the features that characterize OLED TVs, like deep black levels, rich contrast, and excellent viewing angles. It doesn’t offer the higher refresh rate found on pricier LG models, but its 120Hz panel still keeps fast-moving scenes looking smooth and clear, whether you’re watching sports or gaming.
Beyond picture quality, the B5 has a lot of other things going for it too. You get four HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting the latest gaming consoles, along with support for both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. LG’s webOS platform also grants access to a wide range of streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, and more, while support for Amazon Alexa lets you control the TV with your voice. It also supports Apple AirPlay 2 and Google Cast, so you can easily stream from your phone or other devices.
