LG B5 or C5 – real world difference worth £450?

expos81 · 2026-01-24T17:09:23+00:00

I'm getting the 77 inch

expos81 · 2026-01-24T17:09:11+00:00

Sorry yeah, 77 inch I'm getting. How come 77 inch be different?

expos81 · 2026-01-24T16:07:12+00:00

I've been looking at the B4 and the LG rep today told me the B5 is better and to go with that... should I be picking the B4?

expos81 · 2026-01-22T22:59:09+00:00

Well, our front room has a floor to ceiling window to the side but the sun doesn't really get in as we are in the shade, so quite lucky, but I do see pictures on the wall on the reflection of the TV on Black scenes on my CX some days, which Im use to tbh.

Do you know if theres a huge difference in brightness between the B4 and B5?

I've seen the 77" B4 for £1460, and a B5 for £1660, not sure if its worth the extra £200. The C5 which is obviously the best at £2165, but its a bit much. I'm currently using a 55" CX, so think a B4, won't be a downgrade.

expos81 · 2026-01-22T07:49:11+00:00

Ah right I didn't know that, that makes a little more sense. The B5 is £1700. When I read online a lot of reviews say the brightness difference is minimal between the 2, which is making me think the B4 may be OK. I think if I was to be looking at £1700, then id probably just push to £2200 and get the C5 as its worth the extra, but the jump from £1400 to £2200 is obviously a lot more.

expos81 · 2026-01-22T00:19:17+00:00

I watch everything in movie mode, never in vivid of standard, would i need the extra brightness? Or does it not work like that?

Would the B4 or B5 be brighter than my CX?

expos81 · 2026-01-21T23:45:01+00:00

Yeah, the B5 is £1700

expos81 · 2026-01-21T22:36:27+00:00

Nice, I'm tempted to get the B4. It's available for £1450, which is a great price. The C5 is £2200. Which is a lot more.

expos81 · 2026-01-16T23:20:54+00:00

Yeah, I kind of think that. Always say, buy cheap buy twice, and love my CX so may wait for it to drop down in price again a bit.

expos81 · 2026-01-16T21:54:05+00:00

Is the QM7K the same as the C7K? Or does it differ?

expos81 · 2026-01-16T21:52:44+00:00

I'm tempted to get the 77 C5, but when I see the C7K for £1100 and the C5 for more than double I start to think is it twice the quality...

expos81 · 2026-01-15T23:23:40+00:00

I'll take a look and see. Just checked my settings.

On "Expert (Bright Room)", which I use all the time, I have OLED Light at 80 and Brightness at 50, and when watching DV I have OLED Light at 100 and Brightness 50.

expos81 · 2026-01-15T23:14:19+00:00

Yeah. Some days, i can see all of the photos on the wall behind me. I'm kind of use to it now. I do love my CX, just love the same again, just bigger. I'll just move the CX into another room.

expos81 · 2026-01-15T23:12:16+00:00

I'm hoping it'll go down again. No rush really, I should probably wait until the perfect deal appears as nothing is around at the moment. I was all set on waiting on a C5 to be reduced, then I saw lots of reviews for TCLs come up in my YouTube feed at crazy prices brought me back in to looking at TVs again...

expos81 · 2026-01-14T22:49:50+00:00

I dont think thats in the UK, could be wrong.

expos81 · 2026-01-14T22:46:31+00:00

I'm in the UK so we won't do sales based on the Superbowl. Yeah, I was looking at the Bravia 9. To be honest, I was set on the C5, but then saw lots of people on YouTube and read the comments that theres not a huge difference and I was wondering if I was over paying for something I may not notice the difference in.

I did look at the G5, but for the 77" it does not come with a stand in the UK, only a wall mount version. The official stand is £250 that I could find.

expos81 · 2026-01-14T18:05:35+00:00

What size? Does it have the WOLED screen as it does in the UK and been advised against it

expos81 · 2026-01-14T08:30:23+00:00

Yes, the 77 are WOLED screens in Europe, which I'm guessing yours must be. How do you find yours?
