LG C5 Series 48" OLED evo TV vs LG B5 Series OLED 4K TV (2025)

Both are 48-inch LG OLEDs with 120Hz panels, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision, so the gap is in processing and brightness, not core capability. The C5 uses the Alpha 9 Gen8 processor with OLED evo brightness, while the B5 uses the Alpha 8 Gen2 and a standard OLED panel. Buyers who watch in bright rooms or game on PC at high frame rates get more from the C5; the B5 covers the same basics for less demanding setups. Owners rate the C5 higher, though the B5 has far fewer ratings so far.

• Choose the LG C5 if you want the brighter evo panel, the faster Alpha 9 processor and the higher owner rating.
• Choose the LG B5 if you want the same OLED panel, 120Hz and four HDMI 2.1 ports and do not need the extra brightness or processing.
