Is the LG B5 worth it over the C5?

The B5 costs less and keeps OLED contrast, 120 Hz and HDMI 2.1. The C5 is brighter with the OLED evo panel, so pick it if the room is bright or you watch a lot of HDR.

Is 48 inches too small for 4K?

At 48 inches you sit close enough to see 4K detail, roughly 4 to 6 feet away. It suits a bedroom or small living room better than a large open-plan space.

Does the LG B5 support 4K 120 Hz gaming?

Yes. It has a 120 Hz panel and HDMI 2.1 inputs, so current consoles can run 4K at 120 Hz with variable refresh rate.

Will the OLED screen burn in?

Burn-in is possible with static logos, tickers or desktop taskbars left on for long periods. Vary content and use the screen's pixel refresh features to reduce the risk.

You get the TV, its stand, a remote and the power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are not included.

Which voice assistants work with it?

Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Siri are supported through the TV's built-in voice control.

Our take on the LG B5 OLED 4K Smart TV (2025) 48-inch

The LG B5 is LG's entry-level OLED for 2025, sitting below the C5 in the lineup. It uses a 4K OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, four HDMI 2.1 ports and full HDR support, and it runs webOS with Google Assistant, Alexa and Siri voice control. It suits film fans and console gamers who want true black levels and wide viewing angles without stepping up to the brighter C-series. Against the C5 it gives up some peak brightness and the brighter OLED evo panel, so it is best in a dimmer room or a smaller size like this 48-inch.
