LG C5 OLED TV vs LG B5 Series OLED TV

The C5 is the better TV and the one to buy if the budget allows. It has the brighter OLED evo panel, the faster α9 Gen8 processor, four full HDMI 2.1 ports with 144Hz VRR, G-Sync and FreeSync Premium, and stronger sound. The B5 uses the same 4K OLED panel technology and webOS 25, so it still delivers perfect blacks and Dolby Vision, but with the α8 Gen2 chip, 120Hz and a 20W 2.0 speaker system. Owners and reviewers consistently praise the C5's brightness and picture; the B5 is the sensible step down for casual viewers.

• Choose the LG C5 if you game on a console or PC, watch in a bright room, or want the best picture LG makes below its G series.
• Choose the LG B5 if you want true OLED blacks and Dolby Vision for movies and streaming and do not need 144Hz or top-tier brightness.
