LG B5 OLED

It's a noticeable difference over my 2023 model QLED 75" Samsung QN65A and major difference over the old 20yr old 42" Samsung plasma it has replaced in terms of colour and contrast. A good friend of mine sent me a spreadsheet with optimal tv tuning settings to use which made massive difference to picture quality and is sending me his Xbox series S untill the Helix is released.

From its ultra-thin design to its jaw-dropping picture quality, this TV is built for movie lovers, gamers, and anyone who wants the ultimate home theater experience.

The images are stunning! The B5 has a bit less brightness than the upper models. BUT. in a dark room. it is amazing. Nice and bright! This review is spot-on. OLED is the way to go. Some folks have complained that there is no Mute button on the remote control. BUT: If you push the volume down button and hold it for a second or so. the TV Does go into Mute-mode!

This TV is perfect for film fans as it's self-lit OLED pixels give you amazing picture quality. Every single pixel produces its own light and can switch off completely, which means you get to perfect blacks and bold contrast in every scene. And with 100% color fidelity, the colors you see on screen are true to life.

I was surprised to see that the B5’s white tones were more vibrant and punchy throughout, delivering higher perceived brightness over the newer B6, despite what the measurements above said. While I can't confirm the physics of it, I suspect that the green tint on the B6 was having an effect on the perceived 'pop' of the white tones.

And this TV is going to be a satisfactory guaranteed TV for most people. And what I mean by that is like if you get this TV in your house, you're most likely going to be blown away by the picture if you've never had an OLED TV before.

The LG B5 is the ultimate “Budget King” for cinephiles and console gamers. It delivers the core OLED promise—perfect blacks and infinite contrast—at a price point that makes high-end tech accessible. It doesn’t have the blistering brightness of its siblings, but in a dimmed room, it is indistinguishable from flagship displays.

For anyone considering their first OLED TV or upgrading from an older LCD model, the B5 represents an excellent entry point into premium display technology. The combination of perfect blacks, excellent gaming features, and comprehensive smart capabilities provides a viewing experience that rivals much more expensive models.

The 2025 LG B5 is still one of the best ways to save money on an OLED TV. It's not quite as bright as the newer B6, but their overall performance is close enough that the B5 represents a better deal for most people. Currently, the B5 is available in more size options than its successor.

The LG B5 delivers crisp picture quality with deep contrast, ultra- low input lag, and full support for Dolby Vision gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung S85F counters with a sleeker, more futuristic design, a vibrant QD OLED or WLED panel depending on your region, HDR10 Plus gaming support, and Samsung's powerful Tyizen 9.0 smart platform.

If you are in the market for a premium OLED TV without worrying about selling your house to buy it, then the LG B5 is arguably one of the most logical starting points . This model, especially the 55-inch version, understands what budget-buyers are looking for.

Both OLED TVs aim to deliver premium picture quality without hitting flagship level prices, making them two of the most tempting mid-range options in LG's 2025 lineup. The C5 comes equipped with the advanced Alpha 9 Gen 8 processor, an OLED EVO panel with brightness booster, and support for 4K at up to 144 hertz. On the other hand, the B5 takes a more affordable route with the Alpha 8 Gen 2 proces

I've written about the LG B5 countless times, as to me it is the best value OLED you can get. I gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 in my LG B5 review because it covers all the bases like its more premium siblings, the C5 and G5, but at a more affordable level.

The B4 was already one of the best budget OLED TVs of 2024, while the B5 brings new refinements like improved brightness, upgraded processor performance, and even better HDR tone mapping. But is it enough to justify spending more? Let’s find out in this in-depth comparison.

After many hours of research, I settled on the LG B5; it made sense for the price over the C5, and I could buy a nice soundbar to complete my setup. Here are my initial impressions after living with it for a few days.

K Kombatant Kombatant · 3K subscribers · Jun 2026

The first thing that impressed me is the OLED picture quality. Blacks look truly black. Colors look rich and vibrant. And the overall image has that premium OLED look that instantly stands out whether you're watching movies, sports, or YouTube. For movies and streaming, the experience feels incredibly cinematic.

R RTINGS Home Theater DanWipper · owner · Sept 2025

ODD he thinks its a small difference when its big to me, no screen stops all glare and this is a good compromise over going full mat. Wish the brighter C5 had the same finish.

S SGOMedia SGOMedia · 2.7K subscribers · Mar 2026

You guys, OLED crazy good. I mean, the amount of how deep the blacks are, the contrast is crazy. I can't believe I haven't had an OLED in in this amount of years. Someone is going to come and pick up my old TV. But, basically, I'm going to play it. I've been I've been I've been into this Undisputed game. It's basically boxing game for anybody that loves sports. Old TV is over there.

Colour and brightness are fantastic and black is so black! For our usage I don't think the 800 extra for the C5 is worth it. Thanks for your video!

In the Best Buy-exclusive 48-inch screen size, the LG B5 is one of the cheapest OLED TVs on the market, offering good color and great gaming specs. However, it underperforms in brightness and suffers from poor anti-glare control.

If you've been eyeing the C5 that I've already reviewed here on the channel, but maybe it's a little out of budget, the B5 is meant to be the approachable alternative. But does it hold up where it counts? Let's break it down. Now, don't get me wrong. This is not a cheap TV, but it actually is affordable relative to OLED standards. I've got the 65 in size here.

But, unfortunately, the B5 OLED’s brightness remains on the low side. That would matter less if LG didn’t face stiff competition in this price range, but it does from both Sony and Hisense .

When you put the LG B6 against the LG B5 head-to-head, the question isn't simply which is better, it's whether the newer model justifies its higher price against a now discounted predecessor. Let's break it down.
