If you’ve been waiting for a big-screen OLED TV to drop into more reasonable territory, this 77-inch LG B5 is currently selling for $1,499.99, down from $2,999.99. That’s a full 50% discount, or $1,500 in savings, at Best Buy.
The TV is the LG OLED77B5PUA, part of LG’s 2025 B5 OLED lineup. Despite being LG’s more affordable OLED series, the B5 packs several features that make it particularly interesting for gaming, including a native 120Hz refresh rate, VRR, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium support.
A 77-inch OLED for $1,500
The headline here is obviously the size. You’re getting a 77-inch 4K OLED for $1,499.99, while Best Buy currently lists a $2,999.99 comparable value.
That makes the current price exactly half of the listed value. LG itself originally positioned the 77-inch B5 at $2,999, so the discount isn’t simply based on an inflated retailer comparison price.
The B5 uses OLED’s self-lit pixels for deep blacks and high contrast, while LG’s Alpha 8 AI Processor Gen2 handles picture and sound processing. The TV also supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and FILMMAKER MODE.
Built for 120Hz gaming
For gamers, the B5 has a particularly useful combination of features.
The display supports 4K at up to 120Hz, along with VRR, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. LG also equips the TV with four HDMI 2.1 ports, with support for features including 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM and eARC.
That gives owners plenty of flexibility for connecting a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, gaming PC and other HDMI 2.1 devices without immediately running out of high-bandwidth ports.
The OLED panel also brings the usual advantages of OLED for gaming and movies, particularly its ability to produce very deep blacks without the blooming associated with many LCD-based displays.
It’s a 2025 model, but the hardware still holds up
One thing to keep in mind is that the B5 is a 2025 model, and LG has since introduced its 2026 OLED lineup. Best Buy’s own listings currently show newer LG models alongside the B5.
That makes the $1,499.99 price more interesting than simply looking at the advertised 50% savings. You’re getting last year’s B-series OLED technology, rather than LG’s newest generation, but you’re also paying considerably less than the original $2,999 price.
For someone specifically looking for a large OLED with 120Hz gaming support, the B5’s current price puts a 77-inch panel into a substantially lower price bracket than it occupied at launch.
