Best Buy’s Memorial Day sale is bringing serious discounts to home theater enthusiasts, and one of the standout offers is on a massive OLED. The 77-inch LG B5 is currently available for $1,499.99, slashed from its original $2,999.99 price. To sweeten the deal, the purchase also includes a $200 Best Buy gift card. While I personally lean toward a 55-inch screen, if you have the room and the budget, this is a compelling opportunity to bring home a giant, high-quality display.
The LG B5 OLED TV serves as the more wallet-friendly sibling to LG’s C5 model, similar to how the iPhone 17E compares to the iPhone 17. It still packs many premium features, including slim bezels, a stunning panel with an infinite contrast ratio, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. Those ports allow the latest gaming consoles to run at 4K with up to 120Hz refresh rate. However, it’s worth noting that the B5 is not as bright as the C5 and doesn’t handle upscaling as effectively. The C5 also boasts a faster 144Hz refresh rate, but given its current $400 price premium over the B5, those upgrades may not justify the extra cost for most buyers.
If a 77-inch screen feels too large, smaller versions of the B5 are surprisingly affordable. The 48-inch model is priced at $649.99, while the 65-inch model might be the largest OLED you can find for under $1,000 right now. Whether you’re upgrading your living room or building a dedicated media space, this deal makes OLED ownership more accessible than ever.
