LG’s B6E was already one of the most affordable OLED TVs you could buy, but it’s an even better deal now that it’s included as part of Best Buy’s latest doorbuster event. Now through the end of today, November 15th, the 55-inch model is 50 percent off, dropping it to an all-time low of $699.99 ($700 off) at Best Buy . If you want a larger 4K set, the 65- and 77-inch models are also discounted, dropping them to $999.99 ($900 off) and $1,499.99 ($1,200 off) , respectively.
Although it’s not as bright as LG’s pricier C6 , the B6E still delivers the excellent contrast and deep blacks OLEDs are often praised for. It’s nearly identical to the standard B6, except it comes with a simpler remote that lacks the motion controls and voice features found on LG’s Magic Remote. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 for more lifelike colors and detail in bright and dark scenes, along with Dolby Atmos for more immersive audio. And with Apple AirPlay and Google Cast built in, you can easily stream content from your phone or tablet and access a variety of streaming apps, including Netflix, HBO Max, and YouTube via LG’s webOS platform.
The B6 also offers a lot of features gamers will appreciate. It has a 120Hz refresh rate for modern gaming consoles, which is still plenty fast even if it doesn’t rival the 165Hz refresh rate on the C6. It also offers variable refresh rate support — including Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium — to help minimize screen tearing. You also get a zippy Alpha 8 Gen 3 AI processor and four HDMI 2.1 ports, making it easy to connect multiple consoles. It may lack some of the more advanced features found on LG’s more premium OLED TVs, but at 50 percent off, the B6 is a great option if you want the benefits of OLED without spending a fortune.
