What Buyers Say
LG B5 OLED83B5PUA 83"
72 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The LG OLED B5 series is widely praised for its stunning picture quality, vibrant colors, and excellent sound, especially with 4K content in darker rooms. However, brightness is a concern in bright rooms, and one user reported a serious Bluetooth Auracast bug that froze the remote. Overall, it's a great TV for home theater enthusiasts, but potential buyers should consider room lighting and wait for software fixes.
