It delivers inky blacks, incredible contrast, and pixel-level brightness control. Most of the time when we’re talking about OLED TVs, we’re thinking about the LG G5, Sony Bravia 8 II, Samsung S95F, or Panasonic Z95B — the cream of the crop. Those cost thousands of dollars. But the more budget-friendly LG B5, which is now less than $900 for a 55-inch model, is joining the conversation as one of the best TV deals I’ve seen during Cyber Monday. You can get it for $896.99 at Amazon and $899.99 at Best Buy (originally $1,499, but regularly $1,100 or more before November).RelatedThese great Cyber Monday tech deals will likely be gone tomorrowLG B5 OLED TV$897$99710% off$897$897 at Amazon (55-inch)$900 at Best Buy (55-inch)When I first saw the B5 up close earlier this year, I was impressed and a bit intrigued. Primary RGB Tandem display technology featured in the high-end LG G5 rightfully stole the show, but the WOLED-based B5 was still able to display a great-looking image, and do it at a lower price than any other OLED I’ve seen so far.Now that we’ve reached Cyber Monday, the time is right for the B5 to truly shine. Sure, it doesn’t get as bright as the C5, G5, or other OLEDs from competitors. But according to review site RTINGS, it still is capable of over 800 nits in HDR, which is more than enough in a light-controlled environment, such as a living room with curtains. Its colors are accurate and look realistic, and thanks to its four HDMI 2.1 inputs and a 120Hz native refresh rate with VRR support, the B5 is a great gaming TV.If you’ve been considering adding an OLED TV to your home, but have balked at the cost of most models out there, the 55-inch LG B5 is an ideal option for less than $900.Verge DealsSign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

The LG B5 55-inch OLED television is emerging as a compelling option for consumers seeking premium OLED technology without the typically exorbitant price tag. Senior Reviewer John Higgins highlights this model as a particularly attractive find during Cyber Monday, currently available for under $900 – a significant discount from its regular $1,499 price. Higgins emphasizes that while the B5 doesn’t quite match the peak brightness levels of higher-end models like the LG G5 or Samsung S95F, it still delivers impressively high contrast and color accuracy, exceeding 800 nits in HDR environments, making it suitable for viewing in light-controlled rooms.

The B5 distinguishes itself with a robust feature set, including four HDMI 2.1 inputs and a 120Hz native refresh rate coupled with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. This combination caters particularly well to gamers. Higgins notes that the B5 utilizes a WOLED-based panel, which is a common approach for LG’s mid-range OLED models. Despite this, the television still exhibits excellent image quality thanks to its advanced display technology. The reviewer specifically points to the primary RGB tandem display technology found within the flagship G5, which contributes to the B5’s impressive color performance.

The availability of the B5 during Cyber Monday underscores a shift in the OLED market, making high-quality picture technology more accessible to a broader consumer base. While not boasting the absolute best performance metrics, the combination of its features, impressive image quality, and discounted price point positions the LG B5 as a serious contender in the mid-range OLED segment. For those prioritizing a high-quality viewing experience without breaking the bank, the B5 presents a strong value proposition.
