Scoring a 55-inch OLED TV for less than $800 is quite a find these days. However, you’re in luck because right now, there’s a deal that easily surpasses any we came across during Black Friday. Walmart is offering the LG B3 OLED 4K TV for just $798, down from its original price of $1,199. Even though it’s a model from last year, this offer is too good to pass up.
If you’re a gamer, the B3 is an excellent choice. It boasts a 120 Hz refresh rate along with variable refresh rate support to ensure your gameplay remains smooth even when the frame rate dips. The two HDMI 2.1 ports are perfect for connecting your PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X to maximize this refresh rate while displaying in stunning 4K resolution. There are four HDMI ports in total, but only two are high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1.
Beyond gaming, the B3 impresses with its picture quality, making it ideal for watching almost anything—from your favorite series to movies with complex lighting and dim scenes. Thanks to its OLED technology, which provides per-pixel control over color and brightness, you’ll notice the difference, especially in dark scenes that appear pure black, not a washed-out gray as seen on cheaper TVs with less effective dimming methods.
Whenever I’m in the market for a new display, I turn to RTINGS.com for their comprehensive tests. They’ve noted the newer B4 model, which shares many features with the B3, but it can get brighter and offers four HDMI 2.1 ports instead of the B3’s two. In terms of pricing, you can grab a 48-inch B4 OLED at Best Buy for $699.99. However, if you ask me, spending an extra hundred bucks for a larger screen is definitely worth it.
