If you want something cheaper but still want high-end features and great performance, a mid-range TV like the LG OLED65B3PUA, otherwise known as the LG B3 OLED, is an excellent choice. It’s a great mid-range TV and can be an excellent entry point into the OLED market. The TV has all the features of the more expensive LG C3 OLED, but the B3 is dimmer and has only two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports. It still delivers outstanding picture quality, especially in a dark room, with its near-infinite contrast ratio delivering deep, inky blacks with no distracting blooming. Its built-in webOS platform is just as fast on this lower-tier model, and it still has very good image processing, so it has no issues upscaling lower-resolution content if you watch DVDs, cable boxes, or Blu-rays. It also has Dolby Vision HDR and supports DTS advanced audio formats, which is great for physical media as it tends to use DTS for their audio tracks.

Its viewing angle is fantastic, so viewers can watch the TV from all over the room without degrading their viewing experience. Like the C3, this TV has a wide color gamut and is extremely accurate without any calibration, so movies look as the content creator intended. This TV is also great for gaming, as it’s compatible with every VRR technology, has a fantastic response time, and has an extremely low input lag. Its two HDMI 2.1 ports have up to 4k @ 120Hz support, although, unfortunately, one of its HDMI 2.1 ports also doubles as the TV’s eARC port, leaving you with only one high-speed port if you have a soundbar connected through eARC.

2024’s LG B4 OLED is now available. It has improvements like better overall brightness and HDR gradient handling, and LG has increased the number of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports to four. The B4 is also available in a new 48-inch model, which is great for small rooms. Unfortunately, it’s currently very expensive, so unless you want those upgrades, you’re better off getting the B3 while it’s on sale. If you want those upgrades or need a 48-inch model, you can also currently get the LG C3 OLED for less than the cost of a B4.
