Scoring a top-notch 55-inch OLED TV for under $800 is quite a rare find, yet there’s an exciting offer right at this moment, overshadowing even the deals from Black Friday. Walmart is offering the LG B3 OLED 4K TV for just $798, down from its original price of $1,199. This may be last year’s model, but that’s a steal, given its quality.
If you’re a gaming enthusiast, the B3 is an excellent choice. It boasts a 120 Hz refresh rate and supports variable refresh rates, ensuring smooth gameplay even when the frame rate dips. Plus, with two HDMI 2.1 ports, your PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X can fully exploit that refresh rate while delivering stunning 4K visuals. The TV offers four HDMI ports altogether, although only a pair provide the high-bandwidth capabilities of HDMI 2.1.
Beyond gaming, the B3’s picture quality makes it a superb option for simply enjoying your favorite shows and movies. Whether you’re into lighthearted sitcoms or dark, cinematic thrillers, the OLED’s per-pixel control of color and light is impressive. Blacks appear as they should—deep and pure, unlike the grayish shades cheaper models might display due to less precise dimming tech.
For anyone else like me who checks RTINGS.com for their thorough display reviews before purchasing, you’ll note they suggest the newer B4 model as being capable of achieving greater brightness. It also offers four HDMI 2.1 ports compared to the two on the B3. Currently, you can grab a 48-inch B4 OLED at Best Buy for $699.99, which is tempting. However, in my opinion, spending an extra $100 for the larger screen is an even smarter move.
