LG B3 OLED TV vs LG C5 OLED evo 4K Smart TV

Buy the LG C5 if you want the brighter, newer panel and the best picture LG makes at this size. The B3 is a solid OLED with the same 4K 120Hz core, but its panel is dimmer and its processor is a step behind. Owners and reviewers praise both for deep blacks and gaming features; the C5 gets the edge on brightness, anti-glare and upscaling.

  • Choose the LG B3 if you want a genuine OLED with 4K 120Hz gaming and a choice of 55, 65 or 77 inches.
  • Choose the LG C5 if you want the brightest picture LG offers at 55 inches and the newer evo panel with Dolby Atmos.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The C5. Its evo panel is brighter, so reflections and daylight wash out the picture less. The B3 is better suited to a dim or controlled room.
Which is better for gaming?
Both do 4K at 120Hz with VRR and low lag. The C5 adds a brighter game mode and the newer processor, so it edges ahead.
Is the C5 worth stepping up to over the B3?
Yes if brightness and upscaling matter to you. If you watch mostly in a dark room and want a 65 or 77 inch screen, the B3 covers the basics well.
Which has better sound?
The C5, which supports Dolby Atmos. Neither matches a soundbar, but the C5 gives more height and width from its built-in speakers.
Do both support the same streaming apps?
Both run LG's webOS with Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, and both work with Google Assistant and Alexa. Only the B3 lists Siri.
Which lasts longer?
Both are OLED and rated similarly by owners. The C5's newer panel and processor are the safer long-term bet, but neither has a meaningful durability edge in reports.
