Is the LG B5 worth it over the C5?

The B5 costs less and keeps the OLED contrast, 120 Hz panel and gaming features. The C5 is brighter and has a stronger processor, so pick it if the TV sits in a bright room or you watch a lot of lower-resolution content.

Is 48 inches big enough for a living room?

It suits bedrooms, small living rooms and viewing distances of roughly 5 to 7 feet. For a large, bright room, a bigger size or the C series makes more sense.

Does it support 4K 120 Hz for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Yes. It has HDMI 2.1 features on its ports, including 4K at 120 Hz and variable refresh rate, so current consoles run at high frame rates.

The TV, a stand, a remote and the power cable. No HDMI cable is included, so buy one for each device you connect.

Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes, both are built in, and it also works with LG's ThinQ app and AirPlay. You can control it by voice without an extra speaker.

Should I worry about OLED burn-in?

With normal mixed viewing, burn-in is rare. Static logos, news tickers and paused game HUDs left on for hours every day are the main risk; vary content and use the screen-off timer.

Our take on the LG Class OLED AI B5 4K Smart TV 2025 48-inch

The LG B5 is LG's entry-level OLED for 2025, sold in a 48-inch size that suits bedrooms and smaller living rooms. It pairs an OLED panel with a 120 Hz refresh rate, four HDMI ports, Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, and LG's webOS with Google Assistant and Alexa built in. Picture quality is the draw: per-pixel contrast, wide viewing angles and low input lag for gaming. It sits below the C5, so it uses a less bright panel and a weaker processor, which shows in HDR highlights and upscaling of low-quality sources.

Pros

OLED panel gives per-pixel contrast and near-infinite blacks
120 Hz refresh rate with low input lag for gaming
Four HDMI ports, including HDMI 2.1 features for consoles
Wide viewing angles; picture holds up off-center
webOS is fast and covers Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO and YouTube
Google Assistant and Alexa built in

Cons

Dimmer than the C5 and G5, so HDR highlights have less punch
Weaker processor than the C series; upscaling of low-res content is softer
48-inch size limits it to smaller rooms
OLED risk of permanent burn-in with static logos and news tickers
Built-in speakers are ordinary; a soundbar helps
