Looking for a great deal on one of the smaller LG OLED TVs? Well you are in luck because there's a good one ahead of Black Friday. During Best Buy's weekend-only DoorBOOster sale, you can pick up the 48" LG B6 4K OLED Smart TV for just $599.99 with free delivery after a 50% off instant discount. This is the latest generation 2026 model. The smaller 48" size allows the TV to double as an excellent gaming PC monitor In fact, I'm doing this myself right now.
50% Off the 2026 48" LG B6 4K OLED TV
The B6 is LG's most affordable OLED TV for 2026. It's equipped with a newer generation W-OLED panel and an updated Alpha 8 AI Gen3 processor. Image quality is far superior to most non-OLED TVs thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio, near-instantaneous response times, and ability to produce true blacks.
OLED TVs are also considered the best TVs for gaming and the B6 is no exception. It has a native 120Hz panel and four HDMI 2.1 ports, which means it can run games in 4K at up to 120fps on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X console. The LG B5 also supports variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 144Hz and auto low latency mode (ALLM).
Is the LG B6 OLED TV a good TV for the Nintendo Switch 2?
Despite being a current generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2 has lax TV requirements compared to the PS5 or Xbox Series X. When the Switch is connected to its dock and a television, it is only capable of outputting a 4K resolution signal at up to 60 frames per second. Oddly, it doesn’t even get VRR when docked – that’s reserved for handheld mode only. All that aside, the Switch 2 will still benefit from an OLED TV's overall image quality, just like how the Switch OLED looks better than the original Switch, despite the fact that the screens share similar specs.
The 48" LG OLED TV makes a great PC gaming monitor
I have been using a 48" LG OLED TV as one of my main gaming PC monitors for several years now. My first such 48" monitor was the LG CX OLED which was released back in 2020. This is a much less expensive route compared to buying a dedicated OLED gaming monitor, which can cost well over $1,000 for this size. A 48" monitor with 4K resolution averages out to a pixel density of about 97ppi, which is great for gaming and decent for standard text-heavy productivity tasks. The LG B6 also displays chroma 4:4:4 properly for text clarity.
