This TV receives 4.6 Stars out of 5 Stars based on 280 Walmart Customer Reviews.
Rtings gives this OLED TV a 8.7 Score out of 10 score.
Verdict: The LG B3 is fantastic for HDR gaming. It delivers incredible gaming performance thanks to its variable refresh rate (VRR) support, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two ports, quick response time, and low input lag. It's also fantastic for dark room gaming as its blacks are deep and inky, and it displays bright objects without any blooming. Its HDR experience is excellent thanks to its dark room performance, with most colors looking bright and vibrant, but some bright highlights don't truly pop.

Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
The 55" B4 was just on sale at Best Buy for $800 and came with a $100 BB gift card. That deal is no longer available, but I'd hold off for something similar rather than pull the trigger on this one.
After I bought a 65" LG OLEd and it developed horrible burn-in, in just a couple years to where today the colors are washed out, I'd be hesitant to ever buy an OLED tv again. I don't think these oled TVs are meant to last more than a few years. I have an old pansy plasma that still looks beautiful 20 years later even though it weighs a ton. I'll most likely consider mini led if I buy another high end tv.
What model, how many hours of usage?

:
These TV's are garbage
The OS SUCKS and it's a nightmare even if you don't use any smart TV apps.
I HATE my C1 and it just sits collecting dust because I hate it so much.
The CEC and ARC are a total crap shoot and don't work half the time and I tried every cable imaginable, 8k cables and even fiber optic cables.
Even bought a new Aventage AVR , the TV sucks and randomly reverts to the TV speakers no matter how many times I set it use HDMI arc.
or the AVR just doesn't even swith on at all half the time.
it's a rant intermittent issue and t got the next certified cables and it makes no difference.
It's so effing annoying and so is the constant update nag pop up.
The voice assistant features are 100% broken too, I can't even turn it on or off or adjust volume or mute with Alexa or Google assistant.
What a POS this TV is I would never buy anything from LG again that runs this crap web OS.
it's not a hardware issue the image processing just sucks and that is how it is.
there is also a faded or brighter color border around the edges of the picture about five or six rows of pixels wide that makes it look like an old 1st gen edge lit LCD
most noticeable on the right edge.
it looks even worse than my old 2014 Bravia LED TV
it looks like light bleed on the first gen of LCD TV'S it's so bad.
LG OLED is garbage.
The OS SUCKS
The processing SUCKS
The upscaling is crap too
And I have a C class I can't even imagine how bad their lower B class models are.
But the fact they are sold at wulmurt should tell you all you need to know.
Korean TV's are crap and their software is crap.
If you can't afford a new Japanese TV get a used Japanese TV it will be infinitely better than these Korean garbage brands with their trash fire OS's like web OS and Tizen and their absolutely bottom of the barrel trash tier image processing and upscaling.
I can't believe People actually recommended this trash
Just don't do it.
without a doubt this is the most regretful purchase I have ever made.
Yeah, that was a fun read. I don't know about the rest of you but I never use the apps on the TV. I use a Nvidia Shield on one and Google TV Streamer 4K on the other.

Check if there's an option to turn off VRR on the TV? The flickering might be related to that, so it could be worth exploring if you haven't tried it yet. Regarding CEC and ARC, do all your devices support these features? Make sure they're enabled across all devices. I experienced a similar issue with my G1, where I needed to adjust a setting on my Sony Blu-Ray player to resolve it.
LG OLED55C6P - this was a secondary TV in my den, that didn't get much use. Not sure the total hours, is there somewhere I can see that stat? The picture was fantastic originally. Beautiful blacks, contrast, colors, etc. A little over 2 years it started getting burn in, showing artifacts of a channel I don't even watch. This TV was not on all the time, nor on one channel or image for any length of time. The picture just got worse and worse, burn-in on the bottom and top of the screen. Not only burn in but the overall panel picture has degraded.
I started researching OLED and it seems to be a big issue for many. In time, from what I'm reading the panels will go out. There's only a certain amount of hours you're going to get on the panels and will have to replace the TV typically less than 7-10 years with average use. I wish I had gotten 7 years out of this one. Like I said before, I have a Panasonic Viera plasma in the next room and the picture quality still looks great ~16 years later.

Ok I will check out the VRR setting
But yeah all my devices support CEC and ARC.
My only 2008 plasma had no problems at all with CEC.
My old Yamaha was a rxv677 and I basically just dropped in the C1 after removing the old 2008 Panasonic plasma and then the trouble started.
I got all kinds of 8k certified cables and then I upgraded the AVR to an Aventage.
It seemed to work ok for awhile but then it started doing it again and then I tried a fiber optic HDMI cable and it still does it from time to time, a little less now but it still happens where the AVR won't switch on.
My fire TV stick wakes up the TV and the TV turns on but the AVR doesn't come on sometimes.
The fire Stick is plugged into the AVR.
I just rooted the TV now and I going to look into one of the homebrew apps that has macros.
Some people were using it to map a number button to launch a homebrew app that jailbreaks their PS4/5
It can be used to program the TV to execute certain commands but I don't really know much about it other than it being used by the PS jailbreak community

To be fair, I know nothing about any model older than the BX / CX, I believe there were serious longevity issues prior to that, but I only have experience after that, but I was thinking you had a newer model with issues.
Yeah, that was one of the first models. LG was well aware of it because they made improvements with subsequent models. But even the newest OLED will degrade in time. It's not about if but when. As long as people know. I believe Rtings does a lot of testing on all LG models, so users can estimate how many hours they can expect to get. Most people change phones every other year, so upgrading a tv every 5-7 years is probably not an issue to most.

Then why are you here adding nothing to the conversation... Burn in hasn't been an issue for years.

Dude you're talking about a TV that's 9 years old. Jesus get a new one. What the hell?

Agreed, perhaps around Super Bowl time that deal will come back. I picked up the BB deal with the $100 GC, was a great short lived deal on the 55" B4.

^^ So real for this. I have a nearly 20 year old Plasma that has a better picture than most of these new ones as well, and more reliable to boot.

The picture sucks too.
There is lots of artifacting with anything that has a pattern or lines or stripes.
The TV wigs out and it flickers and artifacts and looks like complete 💩💩💩
This is the worst TV I have ever owned and I also came from a Panasonic plasma.
This TV is such a downgrade in so many ways.
I don't have burn in yet but I have so many other issue.
There is a white flickering line down the whole left edge whenever I watch TV.
It doesn't happen on my other other TVs with the same exact sources.
LG replaced the panel 3 times and the main board twice and the tconn twice
It makes zero difference.
All the exact same issues still persist
it's not a hardware issue the image processing just sucks and that is how it is.
there is also a faded or brighter color border around the edges of the picture about five or six rows of pixels wide that makes it look like an old 1st gen edge lit LCD

The problem is the CEC and ARC don't work the Alexa and Google home intergation don't work and that the image processing and upscaling are the worst I have ever seen on any TV and the picture looks like complete 💩💩 and there is god awful flickering and artifacts whenever there are tight repeating patterns or stripes on the screen.
There is a flickering white line down the whole left edge whenever you watch OTA TV channels and then there is what looksile bright or faded border around the whole thing.
The TV takes an eternity to turn on and boot up and then it pops up an update nag in your face.
There is also no home button that maps to other devices for CEC control
So no matter you do you NEED to ALWAYS use at least two remotes,
I need the TV remote to get rid of the update nag and I need the fire remote because the TV remote can't perform a home button press on the fire TV interface.
I also need to have the huge remote for the Aventage out too because the CECa and ARC don't work half the time and t have to switch on the AVR manually and then I need the TV remote again to switch to HDMI ARC from TV speakers.
My old TV I had no remotes and just used my echo to control.
This has nothing to do with using the built in smart Apps, the TV just SUCKS and the OS is garbage
