The LG B5 was the one of the best OLED TVs I tested last year – and this could be your last chance to buy it for a super-low price

If you're looking for an affordable OLED, there's no better than the LG B5. Right now, the 48-inch is down to £579 (was £799) at Amazon UK. While it was £567 the other day, this is still an excellent price and the cheapest you'll find it anywhere today.

If you're in the US, the deal's aren't as good, but you can still get the 48-inch B5 for $599.99 (was $649.99) at Best Buy. It's been down to $529.99 in the past, but this Amazon Prime Day is the first time its been back to that $599.99 price for a while.

I truly believe this may be one of the last chances you'll get to grab the B5 for this low a price. Looking at various retailers, I'm starting to see low-stock or no stock for the B5 in various sized models, with said retailers making way for the new LG B6, the B5's successor. This is the best value the B5 is likely ever to be. For my full thoughts on why I love the B5, check out below.

The best budget OLED

I've written about the LG B5 countless times, as to me it is the best value OLED you can get. I gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 in my LG B5 review because it covers all the bases like its more premium siblings, the C5 and G5, but at a more affordable level.

The B5 is one of the best gaming TVs you can get. Its four HDMI 2.1 ports support 4K 120Hz, FreeSync and G-Sync, HGiG, Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM, and it has a measured 9.1ms input lag time (in Boost mode). When playing Battlefield V, performance felt very smooth with excellent response times. As I tore around the map, dodging bullets and explosions, the B5 never struggled.

For movies, you're still getting the rich, OLED-level picture quality you could want. As I watched the broody, opening scenes of The Batman, the B5 demonstrated strong contrast with inky black tones that perfectly captured the tone of the movie.

Watching brighter, colorful scenes in movies like Wicked, colors really popped, showcasing some nice depth and vibrancy. As I watched the 'Wizard and I' scene, I was impressed both by the punchiness of the pink flowers of the tree and the true-to-life greens of the trees and Elphaba's skin. The B5 also showcases crisp textures, with it rendering every mark or features in close-ups of people's faces.

If you're a sports fan, the B5 also delivers sleek motion. Watching some soccer, I was impressed by how the B5 accurately followed the fast-paced action and delivered it with no signs of judder.

The B5 may not have the brightness of other OLEDs, but really that's its only picture downside. The B5 is a superb TV and at this price, their aren't many that can top it.
