With strong color, low input lag and a bevy of other features, the LG B3 OLED blows away its competitors to become one of the best value OLED TVs on the market based on our testing. Only its low brightness holds it back from greatness.
The LG B3 OLED is certainly a smart buy compared to higher-end LG TVs, thanks to its cheaper processor and great format support, though picture quality purists may take issue with its recurring motion issues.
The B3 offers a brilliant entry-level option into LG's 2023 OLED TV lineup. With an excellent quality picture that punches well above its weight, great gaming performance and a now competitive price, the B3 is a winner. Sadly, a lacking sound system and slightly flawed design detract from what otherwise could've been 2023's ultimate sleeper hit.
The LG B3 is an excellent TV overall. It's remarkable for watching movies in dark rooms thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio with perfect blacks, with most colors looking bright and vibrant. If you watch shows or sports in bright rooms, it's impressive as it has incredible reflection handling to fight glare from a few light sources, but it doesn't get bright enough to fight glare in brighter rooms. It's incredible for gaming with HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two ports, variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing, very low input lag, and a near-instantaneous response time for smooth motion. It's also fantastic to use as a PC monitor, but OLEDs risk permanent burn-in when exposed to the same static elements over time.
