LG’s B5 range sits just below its brighter C and G series sets, aiming at people who want the inky blacks and pixel-level contrast OLED is known for without paying flagship money. It’s competing with mid-range OLEDs from Samsung and Sony, where the real battleground is motion handling, smart features and how well the TV upscales everyday HD content to 4K.

Who is this for?

If you watch a lot of films and box sets in the evening, OLED’s near-infinite contrast makes dark scenes look cleaner, with less grey “glow” around subtitles. The 120Hz panel is also relevant for sport and gaming, where fast movement can look smoother and clearer than on a standard 60Hz TV. LG’s α8 AI Processor focuses on upscaling and picture processing, while Dolby Atmos support helps if you’re pairing it with a soundbar or AV receiver rather than relying on the TV’s speakers.
