The LG B5 is the accessible route into 65-inch OLED: it keeps self-lit contrast and 120Hz gaming while leaving the most ambitious brightness to costlier models. LG B5 OLED includes intelligent α8 AI processor with AI Super Upscaling; its day-to-day value depends on how often the owner will actually use it. It includes LG 4K SELF-LIT OLED for perfect contrast & colour accuracy; this is the sort of screen that makes menus, photos and streamed video look polished every day, not merely impressive on a specification sheet. The 65-inch LG B5 OLED was £1,199, and no cheaper smaller screen is used to make its value look stronger. The right LG B5 OLED buyer will use its main strength repeatedly; everybody else should compare alternatives before paying for unused capability.

A closer look, category by category
What you will notice
LG B5 OLED includes intelligent α8 AI processor with AI Super Upscaling; it earns attention only if it solves something the owner does regularly. It includes LG 4K SELF-LIT OLED for perfect contrast & colour accuracy; the benefit is visible in black text, evening films and photographs: contrast is a clear step above a basic LCD.
Where the specification helps
LG B5 OLED includes refresh rate: 120 Hz; the higher figure is useful for gaming headroom, whereas films and everyday television need good motion handling more than a headline number. It includes HDMI 2.1 x 4; that feature is meaningful when it fits the buyer's routine, rather than simply making the specification list longer.
What to check before buying
OLED pricing is higher than many capable LED alternatives. Very bright rooms can favour a powerful Mini LED television. Static logos and menus still make sensible panel-care habits worthwhile. These are decision points, not footnotes: if one describes the buyer's main concern, a different 65-inch television may be the safer choice.

How we reached this verdict
This is a research-based review, not a claim of hands-on testing. We checked an exact UK retail configuration, its published feature summary and price on 1 August 2026, then cross-referenced manufacturer documentation and authoritative category guidance. Retail popularity did not determine the verdict or score. Where dependable independent hands-on testing was not yet available for a new or lower-volume model, we did not substitute an unrelated review.
