The LG B5 OLED TV at $599 is a rare post-Prime Day holdover because it keeps an entry-level OLED at its lowest cited price after Amazon’s event has passed. The 48-inch LG B5 OLED TV is still listed at $599 at Best Buy during the retailer’s Tech Fest sale, according to Tom's Guide.
That matters because the cited deal is not just a small markdown. Tom’s Guide says the 48-inch LG B5 debuted at $1,299, later dropped to $649, and has now settled at $599, matching what the publication describes as its lowest Black Friday sale price. Best Buy’s Tech Fest sale is described as running through Sunday, giving shoppers who skipped Amazon Prime Day a second shot at a discounted OLED.
LG B5 OLED TV drops to $599 after Prime Day at Best Buy Tech Fest
The core deal is simple: the LG B5 OLED TV is available in a 48-inch size for $599 at Best Buy. Tom’s Guide frames it as one of the standout TV deals still live after Prime Day, especially because it sits in the OLED category rather than the cheaper LCD tier.
“The 48-inch version of the LG B5 debuted at $1,299, dropped to $649 and has finally settled at the ultra-low price of $599.”
That price history is the reason this sale carries more weight than a routine weekend discount. A drop from $1,299 to $599 is a steep cut for a 2025 model, and Tom’s Guide says it does not expect the model to remain available much longer. The source also notes that the 55-inch LG B5 is currently $799 at Best Buy for buyers who need a larger screen.
Here is the deal structure as cited:
| Model | Size | Current Best Buy price | Prior cited price point | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LG B5 OLED TV | 48 inches | $599 | $1,299 debut, then $649 | Matches cited lowest Black Friday price |
| LG B5 OLED TV | 55 inches | $799 | Not specified in source | Larger option also discounted |
The counterpoint is obvious. The B5 is LG’s entry-level OLED line, not the brightest or most premium set in LG’s OLED range. That does not kill the deal. It defines the buyer: someone who wants OLED contrast and gaming features without paying for a higher-end LG OLED.
For readers tracking post-sale pricing, this also fits the same comparison mindset we covered in Anti-Prime Day Deals Undercut Amazon's Sale Prices, though this specific LG B5 price is grounded in the Best Buy listing cited by Tom’s Guide.
LG B5 OLED TV at $599 stands out because the compromises are clear
The strongest argument for the LG B5 OLED TV is not that it beats every OLED on performance. It’s that the trade-off is easy to understand. Tom’s Guide says the B5 does not get as bright as higher-end LG OLED models, but its self-lit pixels still deliver perfect black levels and avoid the hazy light bloom associated with backlit displays.
That makes the set a cleaner fit for streamers, movie watchers, and gamers who care more about contrast than raw brightness. Tom’s Guide says the B5 should hold up fine as long as it is not placed in a “sun-soaked room.” That caveat matters. OLED strengths show best in controlled lighting, and buyers with bright living rooms should not ignore that limitation.
The source also cites test results from its LG B5 review, saying the B5 is “remarkably free of color error in its out-of-the-box state.” That is a useful detail because it reduces the hidden cost of ownership. If the picture looks accurate without calibration, most buyers can avoid paying for setup work or spending hours adjusting settings.
Gaming is the other pillar of the deal. The LG B5 supports 4K gaming at 120Hz, Auto Low Latency Mode, Variable Refresh Rate, AMD FreeSync, and G-Sync compatibility. Tom’s Guide also says all four HDMI inputs support HDMI 2.1, a feature set that matters for current-generation console owners.
Analysis: At $599, the B5’s feature mix is the story. The lower brightness keeps it from being a universal recommendation, but the OLED panel, color accuracy claim, and four HDMI 2.1 inputs make the price look unusually aggressive for buyers with the right room and use case.
Best Buy Tech Fest keeps this OLED deal alive after Amazon’s sale
Best Buy’s Tech Fest is the mechanism keeping the deal alive after Prime Day. Tom’s Guide says the sale runs through Sunday, and the LG B5 discount is still active during that window. That gives the deal a specific clock, not an open-ended price promise.
The source also flags a second urgency point: these sets are “currently being replaced by newer models.” That is not the same as saying inventory is gone today, but it does mean buyers should treat availability as part of the decision. A low price on an outgoing model can disappear because the promotion ends, because stock dries up, or because the retailer changes the listing.
The strongest counterpoint is that post-Prime Day shoppers should be skeptical of any “lowest price” framing. Sale pages move fast, model numbers can look similar, and retailers often show multiple sizes on the same product family page. That is why our earlier coverage of Amazon Prime Day 3 Deals Expose the Fake Discounts remains useful context for deal checking, even when a discount looks compelling.
Still, the LG B5 deal has better support than a vague markdown claim. The cited price path is specific: $1,299, then $649, now $599. The source also names the exact size, retailer, model line, and feature set, which makes the deal easier to verify before checkout.
Check the exact LG B5 size, inputs, and room fit before buying
The practical move is to verify the exact LG B5 OLED TV configuration before paying. Confirm the 48-inch model if you want the $599 deal, or the 55-inch model if you are looking at the $799 option. Similar product names can create expensive mistakes during sale events.
Delivery and pickup matter too. A TV deal can lose its edge if local availability is poor, delivery dates slip, or return terms do not fit your setup window. Buyers should also check warranty and protection plan details directly at Best Buy before committing, since the source article does not provide those terms.
The main technical watch item is room brightness. Tom’s Guide is clear that the B5 is not as bright as higher-end LG OLEDs, even though its black levels and contrast are major strengths. Gamers should also confirm that the inputs and console setup match their needs, especially if multiple HDMI 2.1 devices will be connected.
XOOMAR read: This is a strong post-Prime Day OLED deal if the 48-inch size works, the room is not flooded with sunlight, and the buyer values gaming features as much as picture quality. What would weaken the case is simple: the $599 listing ending, stock disappearing, or a buyer needing a brighter or larger screen than the B5 can reasonably provide.
Key Takeaways
- The 48-inch LG B5 OLED remains at $599 after Prime Day, giving shoppers another chance at a major TV discount.
- The current price is far below its $1,299 debut price and matches the cited lowest Black Friday sale price.
- Best Buy’s Tech Fest sale runs through Sunday, so availability may be limited for buyers waiting on an OLED deal.
