- Which is better for gaming?
- The B6E. It has a 120Hz panel with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium and a 0.1ms response time. The B5 also runs 120Hz with HDMI 2.1, but no variable refresh sync tech is listed.
- Is the 77-inch B5 worth the extra money?
- Only if size matters more than price. At $1,449.99 it costs about $650 more than the $799.99 B6E. If you sit 9 feet or more from the screen, the extra 22 inches is a real gain.
- Which has better picture quality?
- Both are OLED, so black levels and contrast are close. The B6E adds Dolby Vision and a newer α8 AI Processor 4K Gen3. The B5 wins on sheer screen area, not on per-pixel quality.
- Which is better in a bright room?
- Reviewers say the B5 handles daylight and glare well despite brightness concerns in comparisons. The B6E uses standard OLED, not the brighter panel from LG's G series. Neither is a match for a bright LCD.
- Which lasts longer?
- Neither has a published lifespan advantage. Both are OLED panels from LG Display. Buy an extended warranty if burn-in worries you, since static logos and news tickers are the main risk on either.
- Do both support Dolby Vision?
- The B6E lists Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. The B5's listed specs show HDR10 and HGiG only. Check the exact B5 model page before you buy if Dolby Vision matters to you.
