In the market for a TV upgrade but unsure where to look? LG's a great place to start, especially if you're looking for a value OLED TV built with some of the best specs at an incredible price.

Right now, the 65-inch LG B5 OLED is just $1,199 at Best Buy. That nets you up to $800 off one of the cheapest OLED TVs you can buy. Packed with gaming features and built to impress with incredible metrics, the B5 is a surefire win if you want a new display at a great price.

Looking for an incredible OLED picture without the high price? The LG B5 is the perfect companion. It's not as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you still get to bask in the glory of OLED display technology. Perfect black levels and ultra-wide viewing angles will make everything, from movies to sports, look fantastic. Dedicated gamers will appreciate the B5's array of sought-after features, which includes four HDMI 2.1 inputs, support for 4K gaming at 120Hz, VRR, and FreeSync.

With OLED TVs, you're guaranteed some of the best movie nights thanks to those deep, realistic blacks that make you really feel like you're right next to Matthew McConaughey in "Interstellar." However, the LG B5 OLED shines even brighter with excellent color coverage, as well.

This is a hallmark of LG's OLED success. You can see how well it performed in our labs, with the LG B5 managing to cover 99.59% of the UHDA-P3 gamut, and it even achieved a Delta-E score of 1.65. The latter pertains to color accuracy; more realistic colors are represented by a lower number.

It's even a gaming powerhouse. The LG B5 OLED scored the lowest input latency out of OLED TVs this year, with 9ms in Boost mode. That's a remarkable feat, and will ensure its 120Hz refresh rate, VRR, and ALLM support don't go to waste.

Something you may want to consider is an audio upgrade. Like most TVs in its price range, the LG B5 doesn't have the most bombastic speaker system. I'd recommend picking up one of the best soundbars at a good price to give the B5 speakers some extra oomph.

With Halloween just around the corner, the LG B5 OLED is a terrifyingly good deal to snatch up for late-night horror marathons. Dolby Vision will give those spooky movies that pop of realism — and may well keep you up at night.
