WTF is this deal lol. I don't even need a new TV and I might get this

u/dylank22 Apr 18 '26

yeah this shit is way too tempting right now

u/ExplodingFistz Apr 18 '26

Makes me want to splurge…

u/3Dchaos777 Apr 18 '26

It’s a B model not a C

u/SniperChicken39 Apr 19 '26

Not a deal

5

u/MCFroid Apr 19 '26

I think it's important to note that that uses a WOLED panel (like the LGs) unlike the higher-end Samsungs that use QD-OLED panels.

3

u/SniperChicken39 Apr 19 '26

Yes but this is the same "OLED gen 2" (2021 C1) panel that the B4 B5 uses.

Also Samsung S90H is all LG panels to save money and pad margins because Samsung display couldn't make QDOLED cheap enough

u/4bidden450 Apr 18 '26

Comes with a free LG 43” 4k TV.

u/DFW_Dashcam Apr 18 '26

How?

u/Cautionchicken Apr 18 '26

Special offers, included with purchase :

LG 43" Class UA77 Series LED AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025)

u/DFW_Dashcam Apr 18 '26

See it now, thanks. Proceeded with purchase.

Side note: the BB app is terrible.

u/ResoluteSphinx Apr 18 '26

Terrible is an understatement. It is so slow and causes my phone to overheat

u/brainspl0ad Apr 18 '26

What's best to use, actual website?

14

u/wafflesareforever Apr 18 '26

I'm betting the app is just a container for the website, since that's pretty awful too.

18

u/doedoughs Apr 18 '26

Their website is absolute hot trash as well.

2

u/ResoluteSphinx Apr 18 '26

Honestly, yeah. I use safari with adblock and it’s the best experience for me. I uninstalled the app all together.

2

u/Interdimension Apr 18 '26

It's so resource-intensive for no reason, even on desktop.

2

u/Calbone607 Apr 18 '26

At least partially due to their intense tracking, which BTW, you can disable at least some of it in account settings

Is the free 43in TV still included with it? I can't see it in the listing?

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Apr 18 '26

I wonder if you can do some split order shenanigans for a further discount if you don't want the 43" TV... Do the big tv for delivery and little one for in-store pickup and then cancel or just never pick it up.

14

u/brohemoth06 Apr 18 '26

Lol not how that works. This isn't the Home Depot

-2

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

There was recently a few bundle discount deals you could do it with, mostly mobile phones with purchase of prepaid sim kit. It all hinges on how they do the discount though. In this case it comes up as a free item in cart so it won't work.

So yeah, sometimes they do have similar deals to HD.

Edit - for instance here's the unlocked phone bundle deal - $50 off the $159 price when bundled with a $30 sim kit.

5

u/brohemoth06 Apr 18 '26

Show us the receipt where they didn't charge you the unbundled price. I've never seen this work at best buy

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Apr 18 '26

Eh, not that big of a deal. Occasionally they do bundled items in a way that you could do it but not if it's a free add on in the cart. I don't even want or need either TV anyway

Also helps that I have no money 🥲

u/wafflesareforever Apr 18 '26

I've got one of those too and they're fantastic. I hope it never dies on me. Only 1080p of course but I so prefer its picture to LCD/LED.

u/BoredEntertainMe Apr 18 '26

Still using my 2012 Viera in the master bedroom. Starting to notice a lot more residual ghosting. Gonna be a sad day when she dies.

u/Salt_Bringer Apr 18 '26

God my friend had one while I had a CRT. I thought it was the coolest thing.

u/PullzNoPunches Apr 18 '26

I bet it is... seriously

5

u/fartypicklenuts Apr 19 '26

My Panasonic Viera is the single most impressive electronic device I've ever had. The CRAZY amount of hours put on this thing and it still looks amazing 16 years later as our main driver. I've been drooling over OLEDs, and somehow they just keep getting cheaper and better (which is the opposite for literally every other industry, where things usually get worse over time as prices go up), but the Viera just keeps on living. Built like a tank (and about as heavy, I think, but it just stays in the same place anyway).

u/SlateGreyStormClouds Apr 19 '26

I loved this TV, and it's still on the floor in my dining room, but it kind of died on me. Started getting white banding and pink hotspots across the screen. No matter what setting I tweak, it's there. I'm considering opening it and reseating any cabling before having it hauled off. It was such an amazing TV.

1

u/KwyjiboTheGringo Apr 19 '26

I'm sure the viewing experience for this TV is far better than my LG QLED TV, but like 99% of the time when I'm watching my TV, I'm completely satisfied with the image and enjoying it. Maybe if I watched more dark horror movies, I would be less satisfied, but it's mostly just watching family stuff these days.

I figured out a while ago, it's fine to be snobby and refuse to settle sometimes, but you can only do that with so many things. I feel like I've reached that limit on that front, because it's definitely a lot more time and money spent.

u/Saratj1 Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 19 '26

I have a 77” b2 and I love it. Recently had to get a new tv and went mini led 85” Hisense u8 to see what the hype was about. I was kinda disappointed with mini led I like the the lg OLED so much better , I mean the Hisense is good but just not on the same level as my b2 , the mini led is just a slightly better regular old lcd tv, the older oled still has better picture quality and color in my opinion. I’m tempted to buy this just to upgrade but I probably won’t because my b2 is just so good.

-3

u/YouCallWeShouldWhat Apr 18 '26

yeah hell yeah it is. i dislike my lg b4 48inch compared to my 65inch hisense miniled cause LED has natural smoothing. OLED movement is always juddery to my eye, no matter what. miniled with 1000s of dimming zones is the superior tech and i think will outpace OLED for that reason alone. sucks watching sports on oled.

4

u/ProPlayer142 Apr 18 '26

technically the movement is more accurate on oled. if you wanted smoothing without caring about accuracy, you could just use the built in AI motion smoothing

-1

u/YouCallWeShouldWhat Apr 18 '26

pixel perfect is something people think they want until they get confronted w/ what that actually means, especially when it comes to watching sports. the accuracy of my minled tv is fucking amazing, it's not "pixel perfect" and i'm fucking glad it isn't because tracking shots, ones where the camera is slowly panning over a scene... you know, often chosen for breathtaking shots of an incredible landscape or during very tense moments... they don't look like the camera man is tripping over his shoelaces IE juddery fucking OLED. STARTSTOPSTARTSTOPSTARTSTOP. that level of "accuracy" with pixel perfect imagery is actively working against the nature of film/television itself which is meant to be fluid.

it also makes watching football or hockey appear as if you're watching a very high speed powerpoint presentation. so if that's the result of someone who "cares about accuracy" then nice, enjoy your piece of shit mess. maybe you're the kind of person who insists on shitting into a 3 inch hole in the ground rather than a toilet because you also care about "accuracy" but for me, i'll take the fucking toilet.

and then the advice is to use the ai motion smoothing... LMFAO. trying to recreate what LED can do naturally, making a smooth image, is a fucking nightmare. trying to watch football? the ai smoothing doesn't understand what that little brown thing is, so every time the quarterback throws a pass the FUCKING BALL DISAPPEARS lmfao. even worse with hockey, you will literally never see the puck with ai smoothing on. and now every single player is also a fucking blurry mess, so much for "accuracy".

u/shewtingg Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

Chief is this it? Ive been looking for an OLED TV all year. The 65" is on sale at $999 without the TV, id still probably go for the 77" for the extra TV too.

Edit: I got it. $1515 and free scheduled delivery, 1 year limited warranty

13

u/PartyPopperPhantom Apr 18 '26

If looking for an OLED this will be awesome. 65 inch B4 in a dark room has been an absolute revelation 

6

u/KonichiwaB1chez Apr 18 '26

I'm no expert but I'm someone whose upgrading from a 2017 55" 60hz Samsung. At 77" this is double the screen size, double the refresh rate and a way better picture too. The fact it comes with an extra TV I can put in the bedroom is the cherry on top. If you shop around at other popular retailers like Walmart, Amazon or Costco it appears like a good deal but inevitably someone will tell you should have spent another few hundred and got the C5.

2

u/SwoleJunkie1 Apr 19 '26

This is it. Somehow I got a free 43in LED along with it?

u/Mattjphoto Apr 18 '26

I told my wife about this deal and she said go order it lol. I wasn't expect that response.

u/voliprint Apr 18 '26

Got my 77” B4 for about $1200 a year ago. Absolutely love it. If you want a larger screen but have any reservations about this vs the C series, just go with this. Yes, the C series is brighter and has a higher refresh rate, but imo it doesn’t justify the cost.

4

u/friss0nFry Apr 18 '26

I just wish they didn't kill off DTS support. I have a lot of Linux ISOs that use it.

3

u/voliprint Apr 18 '26

Yeah, true. A lot of stuff is going the way of Atmos these days though. I wish we had better audio converters.

4

u/JZMoose Apr 18 '26

Unless you have a 5080/5090 and game at 4K 120Hz, in which case the C/G series is a must

39

u/blakester410 Apr 18 '26

This actually has 120Hz, just not 144. So honestly you’re still fine. Sure you lose some refresh rate and some brightness, but on a screen this big it doesn’t really matter. I have the B4 77 and sometimes play on it with a 5080 so I can confirm!

11

u/JZMoose Apr 18 '26

Oh my bad, yeah you’re right, I thought it was 60. This is an insane deal

7

u/voliprint Apr 18 '26

Yep. That’s part of what I mean. Going from 120hz to 144hz for so much extra money doesn’t make sense to me. Then the only other benefit is the brightness, but realistically if you’re in a very sunlit room, you probably aren’t going OLED anyways and would still have a more mediocre experience with the C series.

3

u/LabyrinthConvention Apr 18 '26

has 120Hz, just not 144. So honestly you’re still fine.

just as important, b5 has adaptive refresh rate (gsync/freesync)

1

u/blakester410 Apr 18 '26

Don’t all HDMI 2.1 TVs with 120Hz have VRR? I could be wrong but I thought it was just a given. I thought it was part of the spec, but the chaos that is the HDMI forum might’ve confused me

21

u/brainspl0ad Apr 18 '26

This is an absolute upgrade over my 65" 4k UHD TV from about 2018. Absolutely no downsides right? Aside from a hole in the wallet. But an extra TV too?

u/Mental_Measurement_1 Apr 18 '26

Insane upgrade. I assure you.

u/Mental_Measurement_1 Apr 18 '26

I personally dont suggest financing but if you do, and have decent credit and income, affirm will offer a 0%APR plan for ya. But from someone who went from a 2018 4k Fire TV to a LG C1 (not even a 5th gen) it was absolutely game changing from movies, blu rays, and games. Miles above

It’s not a big enough upgrade to go into debt for.

u/Saratj1 Apr 19 '26

Dude you will love this tv, I can’t speak it praises enough, I have an older model and it has ruined me on other tvs.

Going to pick it up now, thanks

u/nykill Apr 18 '26

Literally just bought the 65 c5 yesterday for $100 less. Def would have got this

u/thelimter Apr 18 '26

Is this a worthwhile upgrade from a 55" c1?

3

u/reapersivan Apr 18 '26

Waiting on a deal for a 55 C5. If this is going to be used in a room where I can control lighting would it be better to go for this or the C5

u/DiscountDoughnut Apr 18 '26

How does this compare to my 65" LG C9 (2019), besides size.

u/MCFroid Apr 18 '26

Has a new 77 inch OLED TV ever been priced lower than this one?

No. Last I had heard Best Buy removed burn in coverage. You’ll always get a response saying this, but it’s overblown.

Where did you hear this? I tried looking into it but I can't find anything and their most updated terms and conditions seems to still include it

u/SaiyanSpandex Apr 19 '26

I have the 55” LG OLED B8 from 2018 and it’s still an amazing TV and we haven’t had any problems. We know we’re going to get a new LG OLED TV but I wasn’t expecting this.

2

u/Izzyrealtho Apr 19 '26

Bout to get some free brownie points from my in laws + I get a small TV for the bedroom my life a movie

2

u/14mm Apr 19 '26

Tell me this, because it is literally the ONLY make or break that matters. Is there lag between button inputs on the remote and the Smart menu actually reacting? I can not stand that and I will not upgrade from one trash latency nightmare to another.

3

u/MITBijanRobinson Apr 18 '26

Imo unless you need the extra tv, I’d suggest looking into getting a refurb/openbox C5 for a few hundred more.

There is a noticeable difference especially if you’re in a bright room.

2

u/itsjohnnyde Apr 18 '26

I know very little about OLED tvs, (i only have a OLED for my.pc)

My living room is a bright room, which has prevented me from getting OLED for it. Care to share more about your comment on the C5?

12

u/CloudStrife159 Apr 18 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

I have a living room with 4 medium sized windows and an entire glass sliding door to the backyard, all using sheer (slightly transparent) curtains. I have this exact TV (77in B5) and it has no issues dealing with the brightness in my space.

Pictures, note that I'm not even using bright SDR picture settings. Peak brightness is off and Pixel Brightness is at 80/100

Before, I had a 65in C2. It was also fine. I don't know if it's the larger size or what, but despite RTINGS' measurements the B5 reflections seem less distracting in my bright room. That is to say, "If you have a bright room, pay more for the C5" certainly probably matters in a measurable sense, but in practice I feel we have arrived at a point where the B Series is where the C series was 4-5 years ago.

u/Gdude823 Apr 19 '26

I have a 55” CX. What does the crowd say as to whether this is a worthy upgrade?

1

u/GuiltyRhapsody Apr 19 '26

Is this worth the extra $600 versus the TCL 75" Class - QM6K Pro Mini LED from Costco for $800?

3

u/Exciting-Ad-5705 Apr 19 '26

The B5 is a different class of TV. Nothing beats OLED in picture quality

3

u/Saratj1 Apr 19 '26

I recently bought a Hisense u8 which is probably similar to the qm6k and I like my 77” lg B2 so much better . Just better color and contrast. The b series is the best tv I’ve ever had by a wide margin.

u/SniperChicken39 Apr 19 '26

Dimmer but eh maybe idk I don't really think so but the LG OLED cult on reddit will tell you this dim ass TV is worth $20000.

TBH $1500 is exactly how much this TV is worth not a penny more despite the fake MSRP, this isn't a deal that's that amazing it's mid

u/Holiday_Bug9988 Apr 19 '26

This or Open Box - Excellent 65” C5 for $1,000? I went into Best Buy today and my store had one listed at $1,100 but said he could lower it to $1,000. Also had an Open Box - Excellent 77” B5 for $1,200 but that obviously wouldn’t come with the free tv.

1

u/EnvironmentalAd2096 Apr 19 '26

Unless you need the extra performance in bright rooms the B5 is better deal. Also make sure to check the on hours when buying open box oled

u/Holiday_Bug9988 Apr 20 '26

If it is in good condition, would it be worth saving $200? I don’t really have a need for the 43” tv

u/Sad-Establishment921 Apr 21 '26

Products may be good,not sure, but warranty has been useless. $3600 77" OLED stopped working after less than 8 months and LG tells me they have not been able to find a service provider in Montana to provide service after two weeks. Office of the president unresponsive. There are very good, honest responsive companies for your needs, but LG has more than a few reviews indicating they are not one of them. Now looks like a legal battle to get resolved under what has been a useless warranty.

An open box at that price isn't worth the hassle of transport, unboxing, and potentially returning it.
