What Buyers Say

LG OLED - B5 series OLED48B5PUA 48"

72 out of 100 high confidence 302 reviews

The LG B5 OLED is widely praised for its stunning picture quality, true blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent gaming performance at 120Hz, especially for the price. However, many users report significant frustrations with the WebOS smart platform, including glitches, spyware concerns, and a poorly designed remote. Reliability issues, such as panels failing within months and poor warranty support, are a major drawback for some, while others find it a great entry-level OLED.

  • True blacks and vibrant colors
  • Great gaming performance at 120Hz
  • Good value for price
  • Easy setup
Cons

75 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

This small TV is generally well-liked for its price, picture quality, and ease of setup, especially in kitchens or RVs. However, one verified buyer reported a serious issue with the bundle: the legs and mount did not fit the TV, making it a poor value compared to buying separately. The volume is noted as a bit low by some, but overall it's seen as a good budget option.

Pros
  • Great price
  • Good picture quality
  • Easy to set up
  • Lightweight
  • Perfect for small spaces
Cons
  • Bundle legs and mount don't fit
  • Low volume
  • Confusing mounting instructions
