FAQs

What is SELF-LIT OLED technology?

SELF-LIT OLED technology means each pixel on the screen emits its own light independently. This allows for perfect control over brightness, resulting in infinite contrast, perfect blacks, and incredibly accurate colors, as pixels can be completely turned off individually.

How do I use the LG AI Magic Remote?

The Magic Remote can be used as a traditional remote with directional buttons and a scroll wheel. Additionally, you can point it at the screen like a mouse to control a cursor, or use voice commands by pressing the microphone button and speaking into the remote for searches, settings adjustments, or opening apps.

Can I connect my gaming console to this TV?

Yes, the LG OLED B5 is ideal for gaming. It features multiple HDMI 2.1 ports, which support advanced gaming features like 4K@120Hz, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), ensuring a smooth and responsive experience with modern consoles and PCs.

What is Filmmaker Mode?

Filmmaker Mode is a picture setting designed to preserve the cinematic vision of directors. When activated, it disables post-processing effects like motion smoothing and picture sharpening, while maintaining original aspect ratios, colors, and frame rates, allowing you to watch movies as they were intended.

How do I update the TV's software?

You can update the TV's software (firmware) via the internet. Go to `Settings` > `General` > `System` > `About This TV` > `Check for Updates`. Ensure your TV is connected to the internet. Updates often bring new features and performance improvements.

What is OLED Care Technology and how does it work?

OLED Care Technology is a suite of features designed to maintain the integrity and longevity of the OLED panel. This includes 'Pixel Cleaning' which recalibrates pixels to prevent image retention, and 'Screen Move' which subtly shifts the image to avoid static pixel usage. These processes often run automatically when the TV is in standby.

Can this TV be wall-mounted?

Yes, the LG OLED B5 Series TV is VESA wall-mount compatible. You will need to purchase a separate VESA-compliant wall mount that matches the TV's VESA pattern (Info needed: VESA pattern dimensions) and weight capacity. Always ensure professional installation for safety.

Troubleshooting

TV won't turn on or has no picture.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the TV and the wall outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to confirm it has power. Ensure the remote batteries are charged and try pressing the power button directly on the TV.

No sound or low volume.

Check the TV's volume level and ensure it's not muted. Verify external devices (e.g., soundbar, receiver) are powered on and correctly connected. Navigate to `Settings` > `Sound` and check output settings, ensuring the correct output device is selected.

Poor picture quality, blurriness, or incorrect colors.

Check the input source cable (HDMI, etc.) for a secure connection. Go to `Settings` > `Picture` and experiment with different picture modes (e.g., `Standard`, `Cinema`, `Game`) or adjust individual settings like brightness, contrast, and color. Ensure `AI Picture Pro` is enabled for intelligent optimization. For gaming, activate `Game Optimiser`.

Magic Remote not responding or pointer not appearing.

Replace the batteries in the remote. If the issue persists, try re-pairing the remote: point it towards the TV and press and hold the `Back` and `Home` buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the LED blinks and pairing appears on screen. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV.

Smart TV apps are slow, frozen, or not loading.

Check your internet connection by navigating to `Settings` > `Network`. If the connection is stable, try restarting the TV by unplugging it from the wall for 60 seconds and plugging it back in. You can also try clearing the cache of individual apps or reinstalling them if the problem persists (`Settings` > `General` > `System` > `Applications`).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting your LG OLED B5 TV ready and maintaining it properly ensures a long-lasting, optimal viewing experience.

Initial Setup

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove the TV and accessories from the box, retaining all packaging for future use if needed. Due to its thin design, handle with care, preferably with two people.
  2. Mounting Options: Decide whether to use the included stand or a VESA-compatible wall mount. Follow the instructions provided with your stand or wall mount for secure attachment.
  3. Connections: Connect your power cable, HDMI devices (game consoles, Blu-ray players, set-top boxes) to the appropriate HDMI ports, and an antenna/cable for live TV. Ensure secure connections for optimal signal.
  4. First Power On: Plug the TV into a power outlet and press the power button. The TV will guide you through the initial setup process, including language selection, network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), and channel scanning.
  5. Magic Remote Pairing: The LG AI Magic Remote typically pairs automatically. If not, follow the on-screen instructions to pair it by pointing and shaking, or pressing certain buttons.

  • Streaming Services: The webOS platform is compatible with major streaming applications like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, YouTube, and many more, accessible directly from the home screen.
  • Soundbars: While the TV offers strong audio, pairing it with a compatible LG Soundbar can enhance the experience with seamless integration and boosted sound quality. Other brand soundbars are also compatible via HDMI eARC or optical connection.
  • Gaming Consoles/PCs: Fully compatible with modern gaming consoles (e.g., PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X) and high-end gaming PCs, leveraging its advanced gaming features.

Product Care

  • Screen Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water or a specialized screen cleaner, then wipe dry. Avoid applying pressure or using harsh chemicals.
  • Dusting: Regularly dust the TV's frame and rear vents to prevent dust buildup, which can affect performance.
  • OLED Care Technology: The TV features built-in OLED Care Technology (e.g., Pixel Cleaning, Screen Move) designed to protect the panel from image retention (burn-in) and maintain picture quality over time. Ensure these features are enabled and allowed to run as needed (often automatically in standby).
  • Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow around the TV. Do not block ventilation openings to prevent overheating.
  • Power Management: For prolonged periods of inactivity (e.g., vacations), it's advisable to unplug the TV from the power outlet.
