The LG B5<\/span> is a lovely TV that you probably shouldn\u2019t buy\u2014at least not yet. As usual, the B-series is among the cheapest ways to get an LG OLED and its perfect black levels, rich contrast, and naturalistic colors that enhance everything you watch. Also as usual, it\u2019s the step-up C-series that generally offers the best overall value for your OLED dollars.<\/p>\n

That includes last year\u2019s C4 (9\/10, WIRED Recommends)<\/a> on sale, and even the upgraded C5<\/a> if you time it right. In fact, as I write this review, you can grab a 65-inch C5 for just $100 more than the B5, which grants you LG\u2019s \u201cevo\u201d panel tech for better brightness and colors, a more stylish and stout design, and other performance benefits. Moreover, last year\u2019s B4 and C4 are so close in pricing at present, it makes more sense for most folks to move up to the mid-ranger.<\/p>\n

None of that takes away from the B5\u2019s excellent performance. It offers strikingly accurate colors, impressive contrast and shadow detail for viewing in multiple environments, and gaming features that best some flagship TVs. In short, it\u2019s a good OLED TV, and while that’s not all<\/em> you need to know, it\u2019s a great starting point if you value performance. Once the B5\u2019s price really sinks, it will once again be the most affordable way to land some of the best TV<\/a> tech you can buy.<\/p>\n
