The Memorial Day sales look like your last chance to get the LG B5 OLED TV with a big discount, because it's starting to sell out and after testing the LG B6 model that replaces it, I think the B5 is much better value

The LG B5 was one of my favorite OLEDs to test in 2025 and it's easily one of the best budget models you can get: but stocks are running low!

One of those is the LG B5, a phenomenal budget-friendly OLED that more than outperforms its price.

Right now, the 55-inch model is available at Best Buy for $799.99 . This is the same record-low price it's been for a while, but I've noticed that different sized models of the B5 are running low or out of stock at various retailers, including Amazon . Stock seems good at Best Buy for now, so I'd
get it if you're thinking of an OLED upgrade, because I think it's a better buy than this year's LG B6 that replaces it

This is one of the better highlights of the Memorial Day sales that I've
seen, and it's a great opportunity to get one of the best OLED TVs while it's still around. Today's best LG B5 deal LG B5 55-inch OLED 4K TV (2025) : was $949 now $799 at Best Buy The LG B6 is an excellent OLED TV that delivers great picture quality, performance and features for cheaper than most other OLEDs. It's perfect for gaming with a full suite of features and smooth performance View Deal One of my top OLED TV picks (Image credit: Future) The B5 is a favorite here on TechRadar, not only because it regularly gets excellent discounts, including Black Friday , but it also really covers all the bases for an often excellent price.

It comes packed with all the features we expect from the best gaming TVs , including 4K 120Hz, FreeSync and G-Sync, HGiG, Dolby Vision gaming and ALLM, on four HDMI 2.1 ports: perfect for those with multiple consoles. It has a measured 9.2ms input lag time (in Boost mode) that meant performance was incredibly smooth everything felt super-smooth playing games during my
review (it's a tough job, etc).

Picture quality is the B5's other major highlight. Its colors are bold and vibrant, making movies like Elemental really pop on screen. Ember's orange flame looks rich and deep throughout the movie on the B5. One of my favorite movies of the last few years is The Batman , and the B5 does a great job delivering those high contrast scenes accurately, such as the moody Batcave
or the dark-panelled and dimly lit halls of Mayor Mitchell's house.

As you'd expect from an OLED, textures are crisp and details looked refined. Skin and facial features appear authentic in close-up shots in movies like
Top Gun: Maverick .

I've now tested the LG B6 as well, and I did a comparison of the LG B5 and B6 side-by-side, and while the B6 does make improvements, it's actually weaker
in some areas and when you couple that with it being more expensive because it's newer, I would absolutely choose the LG B5 for $799 while you can.
