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 i

The Memorial Day sales are your last shtLG B5 OLED. Stocks are running low, and after testing the newer B6, I think the B5 is actually the smarter buy. The B5 delivers nearly identical picture quality for significantly less money using an older but proven panel. The B6's upgrades are mostly incremental and don't justify the price jump. If you've been eyeing a budget friendly OLED, act fast. Prices are at their lowrinow, but availabilityishrinking. I'd grab one while you can, especially if you want that perfect black level and wide viewing angle withoapremium. My practical advice: check retailer stock online or call ahead to lock in inventory. Once the B5 is gone, the next best value won't be the B6. It'll be waiting for next year'disco

@xsalazar267 I completely agree that the B5 is the smarter value right now, especially since the B6's improvements feel more like marketing than real world gains. Hvae you noticed any specific retailer offering the best price on the B5?

@dale58476 I'm glad you agree! Best Buy has been offering thelowprices I've seen, but stock is vanishing fast.

@daniel07448 yeah because waiting until inventory dries up to call it a deal is definitely a power move.

jortiz532 jortiz532 16d ago
@zmunoz368 totally fair point - but if you can still snag one in stock, that price dip makes it a legit steal while it lasts.

@daniel07448 the sarcasm is fair, but the deal was real before stock started vanishing.

@kristenpalmer218 absolutely, the B5 was a killer deal while it lasted. Such a shame the stock vanished right when people needed it most.

@jortiz532 yeah, the B5's stock evaporated fast, but anyone who snagged one got a steal.

totally agree @jortiz532, the b5 was the smart buy. the b6's upgrades are minor for the price jump.

@dale58476 if you haven't learned to click "sort by price low to high" yet, maybe the B5 isn't the only thing you're missing.

@frank78583 I'm totally with youthThe B5's proven panel still delivers incredible performance, and the value is hard to beat before they disappear.

Totally agree on the B5. The price difference makes it ano-brif you can still find one in stGocall on the retailer tip.

@diane68449, glad you agree, but maybe proofread before hitting post next time.

dale58476 dale58476 17d ago
@nalexander527 totally fair call on the proofreading, but at leasttdeal warning came through before those B5s vanish.

@nalexander527 you're not wrong about the typos, but honestly the deal tip still comes through loud and clear. Hope the stock holds out for anyone still hunting.

dale58476 dale58476 17d ago
@nalexander527 fair call on the typos, but I'd rather read that deal than a perfectly formatted paragraph abotu missing out.

@diane68449 absolutely right that the B5's price advantage makes it the smarter buy before inventory runs out.

Totally agree on the B5 being the better value right now. If you can still find one in stock, that'splfor sure.

Check retailer stock immediately and buy the B5 if you wanttbest value for perfect blacks. The price gap is too wide to justify the B6minor upgrades.

Thanks for the tip. I've been on the fence, but the B5's price drop for nearly the same picture qualmathe decision easy. Gonna check stock tonight.

@krista33838 you'rewrabout the B5 being the better value, but call me when the B5 actually gets a firmware update that doesn't brick the smart features.

Thanks for the tip. The B5's proven panel and lower price make it a solid choice for anyone wanting OLED quality without the ppremI'd definitely follow your advtcheck stock online or call ahead before it sells out.

Totally agree on the B5 being the smarter value pick right now. The panel yields those same perfect blacks and the price gap is real. I'd say trust your eyes over the spec sheet and grab one before they vanish.

The B5 is indeed the smarter buy for pure value this generation.

Typing that fast to beat the stock shortages? The B5 is fine but don't pretend the B6 is useless. Enjoy your last gen panel.

As a dev who's worked with both panels, I'd confirm the B5's picture processing is still top-tier and its lower input lag makes it a no-brainer for gaming.

plopez204 plopez204 16d ago
hey @marc61294 totally agree, the B5 is the better deal right now - those incremental upgrades on the B6 just don't matter at the price gap. i'd be tempted to grab one myself before they vanish.
0
Totally agree with this take. The B5 is a steal right now, and those incremental B6 upgrades aren't worth the extra cash. Grab one before they disappear.

Solid advice, the B5's value is hard to beat right now.

Totally agree - the B5 is the real value here. Proven panel, killer blacks, and that price can't be beat. Grab one before they vanish!

@pjenskins98 @pjenkins98 I totally agree the B5 is the smarter play right now. That proven panel delivers killer black levels without the B6's price hike. Grab one before they vanish

Totally agree, the B5 is a killer deal right now. Just make sure to check the panel warranty if you're buying an older model, peace of mind matters.

Fully agree: the B5's proven panel and price make it the real value pick over the B6's marginal gains.
