Quick take
The LG B5 is the entry point buyers use to get into OLED without flagship money, and the owners here back that up — strong contrast, outstanding blacks, no blooming, and one 77-inch owner still delighted four months in. The complication is daylight. One buyer found the B5 genuinely impressive but was not sure he would keep it, because reflections in dark scenes during daytime viewing were too distracting. Discussion volume on this set is still low, so treat everything here as early signals rather than a settled verdict.
LG's OLED B5 series is a 4K OLED TV line with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support plus modern gaming features for a balanced home theater setup.
Premium OLED with a movie-first lean

LG B5 OLED gets its strongest positive signal from excellent picture quality still impressive after 4 months. The points below summarize why buyers keep it on their shortlist.
Can't go wrong with the OLED's 4 months old and still can't get over the picture quality on these OLEDs! Highly recommend adding other immersion aspects like a SS system or soundbar and some lights! 77" B5 / LGS80TR SS / Govee TV Backlight T2 & Skyline kit (my backlight needs a recalibration + it was daytime so the colours were a bit off!) 77" B5 / LGS80TR SS Govee TV Backlight T2 & Skyline kit Can't go wrong with the OLED's 4 months old and still can't get over the picture quality on these OLEDs!

Considering LG B5 Hi all, looking for some feedback and advice I've been wanting to get an OLED for a while and may be soon to pull the trigger but I have some concerns. The B5 looks like a great bang for the buck and for the most part has everything I would want. My concern, I current have a Hisense U8G and it's been pretty good. I know the Hisense peak brightness is much higher and I really enjoy the pop of the brightness. Will this be that big of difference or am I overthinking this or will the brightness b
Depending on how bright your living room is I would go with a LG B5 you will have perfect contrast and outstanding blacks with zero blooming. If you can go with a 77" or 83 B5 you won't be disappointed and has Dolby Vision. I think it's a perfect beginner OLED and cheap these days for what you get. Sony and LG are most reliable TV brands followed by TCL. I

Omfg. Just installed the tv. Screen is screwed. Idk what to do. I JUST put it on the wall. 77 inch LG b5. From best buy [the entire TV has thin lines like this and the bottom is flickering. ](https://www.imgur.com/a/OQtIkxP) I don't know what I did wrong. And I don't know what to do. It's a 77 inch damn tv HOW THE HELL DO I HANDLE THIS? Is this due to the wall mount brackets on the back? Did I do something wrong? How do I even handle this? I got it from best buy. 77 inch LG b5 77 inch LG B5
Would indirect sunlight from a window affect an Oled from behind? \- I just got an 55 in LG B5 and I'm liking it so far, I got it on a sale and it was kind of an impulse buy, but I failed to take into consideration my small room, the only place I can place it it's in front of a window with white blinders always on \- Most of the day there's just enough light to not have a pitch black room, but around sunset there's more light hitting the tv from behind \- Would it be a problem in the long term? \- Should I ret
Edit: I meant mini-LED Hi, I just purchased an LG B5 and its extremely impressive, but not set on keeping it. My issue is glare.... I often watch TV during the day. I think the TV is bright enough, but the reflections in dark scenes are quite significant and its distracting. I don't have the option to significantly reduce the light in the room. I understand that a high end mini-LED TV like the U88QG is very bright, but that probably wont help reflections during dark scenes right? Thank you very much lg b5 m

Quick answers to the main review, complaints, buyer-fit, and comparison questions shoppers ask before choosing LG B5 OLED.
That is exactly how one recommender frames it — a perfect beginner OLED, with perfect contrast, outstanding blacks, zero blooming and Dolby Vision, at pricing he describes as cheap for what you get. He suggests going for a 77 or 83-inch panel if the budget stretches. A separate 77-inch owner four months in backs the picture quality up.
One owner says yes, and it was serious enough that he was unsure about keeping the set. He watches a lot of television during the day and, while he considers the B5 bright enough in general, found reflections during dark scenes significant and distracting, with no way to reduce the light in his room. This is a single report, but it matches the known trade-off of OLED panels in daylight.
One recommender explicitly says there is none, describing perfect contrast and outstanding blacks with zero blooming. No other owner report in the evidence raises blooming as an issue, but note this rests on a single source.
The 77-inch size comes up twice, with mixed outcomes. One owner four months into a 77-inch B5 still cannot get over the picture quality. Another had a 77-inch unit arrive with thin lines across the panel and flickering at the bottom, discovered only after wall-mounting. Separately, a recommender suggests 77 or 83 inches as the sizes where the B5 makes most sense on value.
Power it on and look at a dark, uniform image before you mount it. One buyer wall-mounted a 77-inch B5 straight from the retailer and only then found thin lines across the whole screen and flickering along the bottom edge. Checking first turns a difficult return into a simple one.
The one owner who addressed this directly thought the panel itself was bright enough — his problem was reflections rather than raw brightness, with dark scenes during the day showing distracting glare. So the honest answer is that brightness is probably not your limiting factor, but reflections in a sunlit room may be.
