Is the LG OLED B3 55" 4K Smart TV right for you?
If you want OLED's perfect blacks, low input lag and decent built-in sound without paying C-series money, the B3 is a smart, well-priced way into OLED.
If your room is very bright or you want the newest panel and the brightest highlights, the C-series or a high-brightness Mini-LED will suit you better.
Before you buy
Both are OLEDs with perfect blacks, but the C-series uses a brighter panel and the more powerful α9 processor. The B3 trades some brightness and processing for a lower price.
Yes. It has a 120Hz panel with VRR, ALLM and a low 13ms input lag, so it feels responsive for PS5 and Series X play.
Two of the four HDMI ports are 2.1, so plan which 4K 120Hz devices go into them if you run several next-gen sources.
It can be good value, since the core OLED picture holds up well. Just weigh the price against newer panels and check it suits your room.
