Is the LG B5 OLED good for gaming?

Yes. It has a 120Hz panel, low input lag and HDMI 2.1 features on two ports, so it handles 4K 120Hz from a PS5 or Xbox Series X well.

How does the B5 compare with the LG C5?

The C5 is brighter and has four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports. The B5 costs less and keeps the same OLED contrast, so it suits dimmer rooms and tighter budgets.

The TV, a stand, a magic remote, batteries and a power cable. A wall mount is not included.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?

It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Sound is Dolby Digital via two speakers; Dolby Atmos passthrough depends on the connected source.

Can I wall-mount the 48-inch B5?

Yes. It uses a standard VESA mount and sits about 1.8 inches deep without the stand.

Is 48 inches big enough for a living room?

It suits rooms where the sofa is roughly 6 to 8 feet away. For longer viewing distances, a 55-inch or larger set gives a more immersive picture.

Our take on the LG b5 oled 48-inch

The LG B5 is LG's entry-level OLED for 2025, sold here in the 48-inch size. It pairs an OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, and the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 2, so it handles 4K gaming and streaming well. Its four HDMI ports and webOS platform with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home support match rivals like the Samsung S90D and Sony Bravia 8 on connectivity. It suits buyers who want true blacks and wide viewing angles in a smaller room, though it is dimmer than LG's C-series and lacks the C-series' brighter panel and four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports.
