Customer Ratings & Reviews

Getting this TV for less than $600 is probably the best value in television that I’ve seen in years. First off, this is a 2025 LG OLED 48” TV. Dont let the size deceive you. After setting this up in my son’s room, we watched The Martian streamed thru Netflix. From the start, we were blown away with the picture, color and details that we saw. It didn’t matter we were watching on a 48” screen, watching a movie on this OLED is better than watching on our 3 yr old 75” TV. And thus was even on a movie being streamed. How much better would it have been if it were from blu ray? Also, we were wondering how the sound would be coming from a small TV. We asked the Best Buy rep and he said we probabky would need a separate soundbar as the TV would be lacking in sonic pleasure. Let me tell you, audition this TV at home first before getting an extra soubdbar. The sound coning from this TV belies it’s diminutive size! I’m not just saying it’s loud. The sound is detailed and expansive—another surprise that we had! If youre in the market for a bedroom TV, you better not let thus bargain pass abd run over to Best Buy and get thus right now! If you havent watched an OLED TV in your home before (in a darkened room, of course) you wil be blown away. My thoughts running in my mind while watching The Martian was all the wasted moments, watching all those hours, months, and years on an inferior TV. I really felt all those times were wasted missing the visual experience that an OLED TV could have given. So for sll of you young ones out there, do not waste your time watching TV on a lesser TV. You have the technology available now that wasn’t available 15 or so years ago, and what’s more important—it’s also affordable! By the way, I didn’t mention anything about gaming. I am not a gamer. But my son is! If you’re a gamer, you probably already know that an OLED screen is the only way to go if you want the best visual experience.

If you are looking for a massive PC monitor upgrade without paying the "monitor tax," the 2025 LG B5 OLED is likely the best value on the market right now. I’m using this strictly as a PC monitor, and honestly, it’s amazing. The jump to OLED on a desktop is hard to overstate. The "perfect blacks" and infinite contrast make standard IPS or VA gaming monitors look washed out by comparison. Whether I'm playing dark, atmospheric games or watching 4K content, the image depth is incredible. Because I'm sitting close to it (monitor distance), the brightness is more than enough—I actually keep the OLED Pixel Brightness turned down slightly to reduce eye strain. Setup Tip: You must go into the Home Dashboard and change the input icon to "PC." This forces the TV into 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Once you do this, text is crisp, sharp, and perfectly readable. Pros: Unbeatable contrast and color depth (OLED). 120Hz is incredibly smooth for desktop use. Cons: Requires a deep desk (at least 30 inches) to view comfortably. Reflective coating means you need to control the lighting in your room.

Great OLED picture current other tech is still not as good as it, I have this in my room I use it as a tv and monitor. In the apple ecosystem it goes very well. My room has no direct sunlight so I have no brightness issue I think it was well worth it. never liked the remote that they make but I us it very little

The picture quality on the LG B5 OLED is absolutely top-notch colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and the overall clarity is stunning. Brightness is more than adequate; even with the TV positioned beside a window, it still looks crisp and vivid during the day. The Magic Remote makes navigation effortless and adds to the overall convenience. LG’s webOS interface is decent simple to use, responsive, and gets the job done without fuss.

Great value for OLED picture quality , good size for bedroom , excellent blacks, colorful set , thin and light

Got this at their lowest price this year, on sale...$530. At any rate, this TV is better than the Samsung 50" smart TV this LG replaced. From color reproduction, really black blacks, clarity of picture and the all round ease of setup and use. The remote is way better than most TVs. I watched YouTube videos on how to best understand its function and it's great. Set up was pretty easy. Hooked up the HDMI to my PC and the TOSLINK audio to my receiver and I was ready to go. I use my PC for everything I watch on this TV, which means I basically use the LG as a monitor. Cheapest 48-inch OLED monitor ever. Fees are avoided to watch anything I want, plus I have a very cool PC monitor with a great pic and refresh rate. This TV has a myriad of features. Too many to list here, but YouTube has many videos showing how to use them. After watching this for a few days, I hooked up the Samsung 50 inch to compare side by side. All round clarity, color reproduction, deep blacks and crispness of text, is far superior. One thing I noticed was, this TV works best in a completely darkened room, or at least a room where curtains or shades can block most of the outside light. The screen is high gloss so in a room with ambient light, be prepared for reflections and a somewhat not as vibrant pic. It's also very thin and overall weight is 25 lbs. Considering the sale price I paid for this puppy, I'm a very happy camper. The delivery was late by the company they use called Roadie. Other than that, I feel good about this purchase and time will tell if I still feel the same.

Yea yea... this thing rocks with its socks off! No cold feet over here and i just jumped on it. This tv blows my 27in ips 120hz monitor out of the water, inky blacks, bright, crisp, and that color ooh lala. The only con is that it dont make me sammiches.. but thats what your mom is for. All in all this thing rocks as a tv/gaming monitor. Just buy it!

The LG B5 48" is an outstanding OLED TV that delivers premium picture quality at a great value. The moment you turn it on, the deep blacks and vibrant colors stand out—classic OLED performance that makes movies, sports, and games look incredibly lifelike. The contrast is excellent, and HDR content pops beautifully without feeling over-processed.

This LG B5 OLED punches way above its price. The picture quality is unreal, perfect blacks, sharp 4K, and buttery-smooth 120 Hz that makes gaming feel next-gen. For what you’re paying, the performance you get is honestly hard to beat. Amazing value, zero regrets.

Easy to setup. Not too big, just the perfect size. Picture is fantastic. Sleek and slim. Powerful built-in speakers. Screen is matte when off which I enjoy.

Purchased during Black Friday, and I have to say it’s been one of the best buys I’ve made. At this price point, it far exceeds expectations. I don’t use the TV for gaming, only for watching sports and movies, both look incredible. I was initially concerned about the brightness based on value ratings compared to higher-end models, but in real-world use it’s fantastic. The TV is wall mounted with two large windows on either side, and I still turned off all brightness-boosting settings and lowered the brightness to nearly the minimum. I truly have no complaints.

Super graphics, Great picture, easy to set up. Perfect size, you do not need anymore

We love everything about this TV except the remote. The remote is horrible - never wants to engage with the screen, makes a clicking sound as you adjust the volume or the channel, no numbers to press so going from one channel to another is cumbersome. With that said, the color and sharpness of the picture are fabulous. We are enjoying it as long as we don't have to touch the remote - LOL!

The display is exactly how it says perfect black and the picture is astronomical.

Oled is great no matter what. B5 is great starter for Oleds. Online has there own tv calibrations settings so you can see how it looks on yours and adjust to your eyes to settings you feel more comfortable with. It doesn’t support 120hz on GeForce now yet so that’s a bummer. It should be able to later on according to the website on lg, since it is already a tv listed on the site. The sound with ai on makes it very clear. But sound bar is better.

Bought this to use as a monitor for my PC, I love it. 144hz g-sync is a dream at this size and resolution and image quality. I got it on sale during x-mas time, and I would say it was worth the $900 I paid for it at the time, I'm not sure I would pay much more, and would probably go with something that has DP + OLED at more thank $1k. If you want to use it as a monitor I suggest having a deep desk as it is pretty large at a close distance. OR go with the 42 inch model.

Not a huge fan of logo dimming, but it's a necessary evil for all OLEDs, heck, I remember my plasma tv back in the day. I would play super Metroid and it was this specific shade of purple from the map that would always cause retention on the screen that you could see the next time boot up the TV, though OLED has better resistance to that. The picture quality is perfect for a bedroom with curtains and looks richer than any LED display I've had.

Great tv. Vibrant and bright colors. Very smooth and clear picture. Definite upgrade by far, from a basic led 4k tv. Was debating between the Qled and Oleds and the true black and more vibrant color helped make this the tv i wanted. Sound is much better than expected for standard tv speakers. Looking to upgrade another room in the house and will not look for anything besides a oled. The difference is astounding and well worth the price.

Bought this for my 18 year old daughter for Christmas and had it installed and mounted in her bedroom! Her room is kept dark, and that’s why I bought this LG OLED TV on sale for Cyber Monday! The picture is perfection, as is the sound, even without a soundbar. She loves the AI features and home interface. Voice command. Uses it primarily for streaming movies through multiple subscriptions and gaming on her Xbox. Very satisfied with this purchase and glad she’s happy! Top notch, premium LG OLED TV, ideal for darker bedrooms. The size and model came with great gaming features as well. So glad I got it on sale!

I’ve been really happy with this TV so far. The picture quality is excellent with deep blacks and vibrant colors, and everything looks smooth thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. It’s especially great for movies and gaming, with very low input lag and all the HDMI 2.1 features you’d want. The webOS system is easy to use and has all the major streaming apps. The built-in sound is better than expected, though the screen isn’t quite as bright as some higher-end models in a very sunny room. Overall, it’s a fantastic OLED TV for the price and I’d definitely recommend it.
