LG G5 OLED evo Gallery TV vs LG B5 Series OLED TV
The G5 is the step-up set: a brighter OLED evo panel, a 165Hz refresh rate, a glare-free coating and the a11 AI Processor Gen2. The B5 uses the same 4K OLED panel technology but with the α8 processor, 120Hz and a standard glossy finish, and it adds Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. Owners of the B5 praise the deep blacks, colors and four HDMI 2.1 ports, but some complain about the remote, webOS and dropped connections. Buy the G5 if you watch in a bright room or game at high frame rates; buy the B5 if you want core OLED picture for less and can live with 120Hz.
- Choose the LG G5 if you have a bright room, want the brightest OLED picture LG makes, or game above 120Hz.
- Choose the LG B5 if you want true OLED blacks and four HDMI 2.1 ports without paying for the brighter panel and higher refresh rate.
