Is the LG B5 worth it over the C5?

The B5 costs less and keeps OLED contrast and 120Hz gaming, but the C5 is brighter and has the faster Alpha 9 processor. Pick the B5 for a dark room or a tighter budget; pick the C5 for a bright living room.

Does the LG B5 support 4K at 120Hz for gaming?

Yes. The panel is 120Hz and the B5 includes HDMI 2.1 ports, so it can take a 4K 120Hz signal from a PS5 or Xbox Series X.

What HDR formats does the B5 support?

It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, which covers the major streaming services and most discs.

Which voice assistants work with the LG B5?

Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home are supported, and Alexa is built in for hands-free control.

What is in the box with the LG B5?

The TV, its stand, a magic remote and the power cable. A wall mount and HDMI cables are sold separately.

How many HDMI ports does the B5 have?

Four HDMI inputs, along with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connecting consoles, soundbars and streaming devices.

Our take on the LG OLED AI B5 4K Smart TV (2025) 83-inch

The LG B5 is LG's entry-level OLED line for 2025, built around the Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen 2 and a 120Hz OLED panel with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It keeps the deep blacks, wide viewing angles and near-instant response that OLED is known for, and adds four HDMI ports, webOS with all the major streaming apps, and hands-free voice through Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Home. It sits below the C5 and G5, which use brighter panels and the faster Alpha 9 chip, so the B5 is the value pick for dark-room movie watching and console gaming rather than a bright living room. Reviewers rate it as one of the best picture-per-quality-dollar sets you can buy, while noting it cannot match the C5's peak brightness or the G5's anti-glare coating.
