Stunning OLED at an Unbeatable Price!
LG 48-Inch Class B4 Series OLED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (OLED48B4PUA) I recently upgraded my bedroom TV to the LG 48-inch B4 Series OLED, and wow, what a difference! As someone who loves binge-watching shows, gaming on my PS5, and streaming movies, this TV has exceeded all my expectations. Let me break it down why this is easily one of the best purchases I've made in 2025. First off, the picture quality is absolutely mind-blowing. The self-lit OLED pixels deliver perfect blacks and infinite contrast – no more washed-out dark scenes like on my old LED TV. Colors pop with incredible vibrancy, thanks to the α8 AI Processor that upscales everything to near-4K perfection. I watched Dune: Part Two in Dolby Vision HDR, and it felt like I was in the theater; the details in the sand dunes and explosions were razor-sharp. Even older content looks refreshed with AI Picture Pro tweaking the settings automatically. And at 48 inches, it's the perfect size for my bedroom – not too overwhelming, but immersive enough for movie nights in bed. Gaming is where this TV really shines. With a 120Hz refresh rate, VRR, and super-low input lag (around 10ms), it's a dream for console gamers. I hooked up my PS5, and games like Cyberpunk 2077 run buttery smooth without any tearing or stuttering. It's NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync compatible, so PC gaming feels seamless too. Plus, the Game Optimizer menu lets you fine-tune settings on the fly – no more fumbling through menus mid-game. The smart features on webOS 24 are intuitive and snappy. Setup was a breeze; it connected to my Wi-Fi instantly, and I had Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, HBO Max and Prime Video up in seconds. Voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant works flawlessly – I just say "Hey Google, play Stranger Things," and it's on. The ThinQ AI even suggests content based on what I've watched, which is a nice touch. And for sports fans, the multi-view split-screen is great for watching two games at once. Sound-wise, the built-in speakers with Dolby Atmos are surprisingly powerful. They fill the room with clear dialogue and immersive effects – no need for a soundbar right away, though I might add one later for extra bass. Connectivity is solid too: four HDMI ports (two are 2.1 for next-gen gaming), eARC for audio passthrough, and Bluetooth for headphones. A few minor notes: In super-bright rooms, reflections can be noticeable on the glossy screen, but the anti-reflective coating helps a lot. Burn-in hasn't been an issue for me (I enable pixel shift), and LG's warranty covers it anyway. At the price I got it for (around $600 during a sale), it's an absolute steal compared to pricier OLEDs like the C4 series. If you're in the market for a premium TV without breaking the bank, go for the LG B4. It's transformed my entertainment setup – highly recommend! Pros: Unmatched OLED picture with AI enhancements Killer gaming features User-friendly webOS interface Great value for the specs Cons: Could be brighter in very lit rooms (but fantastic for most) Purchased from Best Buy in November 2025. If LG keeps this up, I'll be a customer for life!

Fantastic OLED with Amazing Black Level and Colors
I'm absolutely ecstatic about my 48" LG B5 because it is a fantastic, great, awesome, etc., OLED TV. I'm glad I decided to spend a little more to get an OLED after doing extensive research and deciding an OLED was definitely worth the money. Especially since I got my 48" LG B5 for a great price of $700 a week ago. The thing I love about OLED's is the ability to achieve perfect black levels that helps to create superb contrast that in return helps the TV to achieve incredible depth, clarity, color and detail that produces such amazing picture quality. And my B5 out of the box needed almost no tweaking to achieve the excellent picture quality that I find perfect for my viewing habits. The colors on the B5 are beautiful and bright and all colors just look correct. Now this entry level OLED doesn't get super bright (under 1000 nits) but it gets more than bright enough for my needs. Don't hesitate to buy this TV because you will not regret it at all. In fact, you're going to wish you went OLED sooner just like I did. P.S. All the pictures in my review were taken on my s25+ of my TV so you're looking at a picture of a picture and the B5 still looks amazing. Imagine how good it looks in person.

A 48” OLED worth every penny
This my first OLED TV without coming in to a BB store and comparing it to the rest of the lineups. I bought this TV after reading about how truly black scenes can get and yes they do get to point zero. After watching various videos from different reviewers and also budget coming into play, this was for the the best bang for the buck money could get me before Black Friday. Hopefully the “48 won’t go below 630 otherwise I would advise to buy it with your eyes shut. The TV surprisingly gets loud so no soundbar is needed. Sound quality is standard, obviously not going to hear deep bass since no subwoofer is built in, like my U8k it replaced from competing brand an miniLED one which was no slouch neither. My room setup can be both total darkness or very bright with LED high powered grow plant light, so expect glare accordingly. I mostly got this because of my PS5 it truly makes a difference in dark scenes. Watching HDR content is such a delightful experience that I just wondered why I didn’t buy OLED before. The tv shows a popup on the top right hand corner if it’s HDR or Dolby Vision and Audio, just remember to change to highest best setting available. The operating system is OK I can’t expect it to be millisecond fast but LG has refined it especially with the wand remote. I haven’t really downloaded much just my usual to go apps. As far as ghosting or burn in fear, there’s options for the latter and I haven’t really noticed any ghosting, except in Halloween lol. To sum it up, if you need a console gaming TV for your personal room or to watch anything else you can’t go wrong with this “48. Get it under 700 is the best price yet. Photos taken from an iPhone 17 Pro Max, TV brightness set at 100 HDR standard setting.
