LG B5 is really a good OLED television, which shows that you don't have to spend a fortune for very good quality. It offers deep blacks typical of organic panels, very good colour reproduction – especially after calibration – and enjoyable HDR movie watching experiences. All of this means that evening screenings can provide cinema-like emotions even without resorting to much more expensive screens. The smoothness of the picture and the set of features for gamers also deserve recognition. A 120 Hz panel, low input lag, full support for HDMI 2.1, variable refresh rates, and Dolby Vision Gaming mode make the B5 a very versatile screen – both for gaming and watching sports. The friendly webOS system with a Magic remote adds to the package, providing convenient access to content and simplifying operation. However, not everything is perfect. Compared to the B4 model, a slight drop in brightness can be noticeable, especially in very bright rooms. For some users, the lack of DTS audio support may also be a problem, which could force some workarounds when connecting Blu-ray players. Despite this, LG B5 remains one of the most sensible choices for those who want to enter the world of true cinema – without overspending, but also without major compromises. It's a screen that doesn’t need to prove anything – it simply delights the eye with excellent picture quality and works as it should.
Samsung The Frame 2025 is a television unlike any other – and although competition has emerged for it, it still does it best. The matte panel, flush mounting with the wall, and a single thin cable thanks to the One Connect module make the device resemble a picture more than any other screen. The Art Store app continues to offer the best scans of artworks on the market (even if they are subscription-based), and with interchangeable frames, we can adapt the TV to the interior almost like a piece of furniture. As for the picture itself, since we are also talking about an ordinary television, there are no major changes, but there are also no disappointments compared to last year’s model LS03D. The Frame still offers high native contrast and solid brightness at 600 nits, which combined with the matte finish provides very comfortable daytime use. The colours are not as vibrant as in glossy screens, but against the backdrop of competitive matte constructions, they perform the best. A novelty is the 144 Hz refresh rate, although in practice, mainly PC gamers will benefit from it. Indeed, in terms of gaming features, The Frame has nearly everything: low input lag, variable refresh rate (VRR) support, automatic game mode (ALLM), Game Bar, and a unique motion smoother designed for games. Unfortunately, not everything is as perfect as it might seem. Why? Because the HGiG mode is missing, which has suddenly disappeared from the latest version of the Tizen system. Samsung really should respond to this, as for many gamers it is a key element in choosing a screen. And we fully understand that. Even though LS03F The Frame 2025 does not bring greater revolutions, it is still a unique television that, apart from its appearance, offers quite solid picture quality and extensive gaming features. It’s a pity that year after year we also receive new compromises.
