LG OLED 65B5 65" 4K Smart TV vs LG G1 OLED evo Gallery TV

The B5 is the better buy for most people. It is a newer set with a brighter, more efficient panel generation, the α8 Gen2 processor, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and four full HDMI 2.1 ports, and it runs current webOS with long software support. The G1 is a 2021 gallery design with the brighter OLED evo panel, a stronger 60W 4.2 speaker system and an ATSC 3.0 tuner, but it is older, uses Wi-Fi 5 and its software support is closer to its end. Reviewers praise both for perfect blacks and wide viewing angles; owners of the G1 note its slim gallery profile suits wall mounting, while B5 owners value the newer connectivity and lower cost of entry.

• Choose the LG B5 if you want a current-generation OLED with the latest processor, Wi-Fi 6 and full HDMI 2.1 on all four ports, and you mostly stream or game.
• Choose the LG G1 if you wall-mount in a bright room and want the brighter evo panel, the 60W 4.2 speaker system and a built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner.
