LG B5 OLED48B56LA 48-Inch OLED 4K Smart TV (2025)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The LG OLED48B56LA is a 48-inch 4K OLED listed at £727.07, the lowest price named anywhere in this guide. It sits at number 10, and the price is not the reason — it is the pattern the price belongs to. The 42-inch LG C6 further up this page is listed at £1,099: six inches smaller, £371.93 more.
The listing's own figures reward a second read. It gives 4.5 out of 5 from 224 ratings, then prints a star breakdown of 5 one-star, 3 two-star, 3 three-star, 13 four-star and 76 five-star — which adds up to exactly 100. The energy row is labelled Annual Energy Consumption and gives 90.35 Watts, and the efficiency line reads G under the heading Energy Efficiency Features. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it appears, not from any test we ran.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The TV lives up to its reputation! I have had it for a few months now and the performance is very good. I located it in a semi bright room, so there are times of the day that a little reflection can be seen, but it is not overwhelming. The response is brilliant and the interactivity of the apps is more than enough to keep any videophile preoccupied. I would highly recommend the LG brand, I have had three over the years and they have always been reliable!”
Verified purchase“One of the best TV ever and really amazing for gamers, I'm playing on ps5 and I'm just love in it !! And good money for 120 hz. Very fast”
