The 8 best 65-inch TVs – Summer 2024: Reviews

The 8 best 65-inch TVs – Summer 2024: Reviews

If you want something cheaper but still want high-end features and great performance, a mid-range TV like the LG OLED65B3PUA, also known as the LG B3 OLED, is an excellent choice. It’s a great mid-range TV and can be a great entry into the OLED market. The TV has all the features of the more expensive LG C3 OLED, but the B3 is dimmer and only has two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports. It still delivers excellent picture quality, especially in a dark room, with its nearly infinite contrast ratio delivering deep, inky blacks without any annoying blooming. The built-in webOS platform is just as fast on this lower-end model, and it still has very good image processing, so it has no trouble upscaling lower-resolution content if you’re watching DVDs, cable boxes, or Blu-rays. It also features Dolby Vision HDR and supports DTS Advanced audio formats, which is great for physical media as they typically use DTS for their audio tracks.

Its viewing angle is fantastic, allowing viewers to watch the TV from across the room without their viewing experience suffering. Like the C3, this TV has a wide color gamut and is extremely accurate without calibration, so movies look the way the content creator intended. This TV is also great for gaming, as it’s compatible with any VRR technology, has a fantastic response time, and has extremely low input lag. Its two HDMI 2.1 ports support up to 4k @ 120Hz, although unfortunately one of its HDMI 2.1 ports also acts as the TV’s eARC port, so you’re only left with a high-speed connection if you have a soundbar connected via eARC.

The 2024 LG B4 OLED is now available. It offers improvements like better overall brightness and HDR gradient processing, and LG has increased the number of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports to four. The B4 also comes in a new 48-inch model that’s great for small spaces. Unfortunately, it’s currently very expensive, so you’re better off getting the B3 while it’s on sale unless you want those upgrades. If you want those upgrades or need a 48-inch model, you can also currently get the LG C3 OLED for less than the price of a B4.
