Get a fantastic 55-inch OLED in your home for $900 on Cyber Monday

For many of us TV reviewers, the current pinnacle of television technology is OLED. It delivers inky blacks, incredible contrast, and pixel-level brightness control. Most of the time when we’re talking about OLED TVs, we’re thinking about the LG G5,

Sony Bravia 8 II, Samsung S95F, or Panasonic Z95B — the cream of the crop. Those cost thousands of dollars. But the more budget-friendly LG B5, which is now less than $900 for a 55-inch model, is joining the conversation as one of the best TV deals I’ve seen during Cyber Monday. You can get it for $896.99 at Amazon and $899.99 at Best Buy (originally $1,499, but regularly $1,100 or more before November).

When I first saw the B5 up close earlier this year, I was impressed and a bit intrigued. Primary RGB Tandem display technology featured in the high-end LG G5 rightfully stole the show, but the WOLED-based B5 was still able to display a great-looking image, and do it at a lower price than any other OLED I’ve seen so far.

Now that we’ve reached Cyber Monday, the time is right for the B5 to truly shine. Sure, it doesn’t get as bright as the C5, G5, or other OLEDs from competitors. But according to review site RTINGS, it still is capable of over 800 nits in HDR, which is more than enough in a light-controlled environment, such as a living room with curtains. Its colors are accurate and look realistic, and thanks to its four HDMI 2.1 inputs and a 120Hz native refresh rate with VRR support, the B5 is a great gaming TV.

If you’ve been considering adding an OLED TV to your home, but have balked at the cost of most models out there, the 55-inch LG B5 is an ideal option for less than $900.
