Head-to-head
LG B5 vs C6: Same console inputs, different feet
The short answer
Start with B5 when its feet fit safely and the room is mainly used for evening films and 120 Hz console games. Both leave three 4K120-capable inputs after eARC, but B5’s feet span 41.6 inches versus C6’s 18.5-inch central stand. C6 makes more sense when that stand solves the installation or a compatible PC can use its 165 Hz mode. Compare the current offers with those jobs in mind.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
A cheaper B5 does not make the children share one gaming cable
Two people using different consoles can leave both connected to either TV while an eARC-only soundbar occupies its own socket. Each LG still has three 4K120-capable inputs available. A PS5, a second 120 Hz source and the soundbar therefore do not justify a C6 upgrade by themselves. That changes if a gaming PC can run the games you play above 120 Hz at the chosen settings. C6 can accept up to 165 Hz, whereas B5 stops at 120 Hz. This is an input-capability distinction, not a claim that the two TVs have identical motion or picture quality. Check the actual games before assigning a value to the higher ceiling.
What this is based on
Shared room with two console users and eARC-only audio. For both TVs, four high-refresh inputs minus one eARC connection leaves three. PC capability creates a separate conditional upgrade.
Main trade-off
LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA
The 165 Hz mode does not give a PS5 extra frames. The 65-inch C6 is also a different panel group from the larger C6H, so do not use a 77-inch review as its specification.
LG B5 65-inch OLED65B5PUA
- Choose it for
- Keep two consoles and an eARC-only soundbar connected, without losing the four-port 4K120 capability by choosing the lower LG range.
- Use safely rated furniture that accommodates the 41.6-inch foot spread. The selected 65-inch package includes those feet.
- Main trade-off
- The supplied feet are 41.6 inches apart. The B5 also needs controlled room lighting, with bright-room limits reported in testing of the 77-inch model.
LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA
- Choose it for
- Avoid widely separated feet when reusing an existing cabinet. The central stand is 18.5 inches wide, with full TV support and anchoring still required.
- Use a compatible gaming PC above 120 Hz. C6 accepts up to 165 Hz, while B5’s documented limit is 120 Hz.
- Main trade-off
- The 165 Hz mode does not give a PS5 extra frames. The 65-inch C6 is also a different panel group from the larger C6H, so do not use a 77-inch review as its specification.
About this comparison
LG B5 or C6 for a shared 65-inch TV? Compare the console connections you keep, the furniture you can reuse and when 165 Hz actually changes the choice.
B5 is an older entry OLED with a verified current new offer. C6 is a current step-up that a buyer could reasonably consider for the same evening films and console games. The useful question is what the extra spending changes in the whole setup, rather than treating the newer name as a sufficient reason to upgrade.
Winner by situation
Start with what you need it to do
Two consoles and an eARC-only bar, with furniture that fits both
Both keep three high-refresh TV inputs free after eARC. Compare the offers and remaining room needs.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A cheaper B5 does not make the children share one gaming cable
Two people using different consoles can leave both connected to either TV while an eARC-only soundbar occupies its own socket. Each LG still has three 4K120-capable inputs available. A PS5, a second 120 Hz source and the soundbar therefore do not justify a C6 upgrade by themselves. That changes if a gaming PC can run the games you play above 120 Hz at the chosen settings.

Check the actual games before assigning a value to the higher ceiling.
How we reached this conclusion
Shared room with two console users and eARC-only audio. For both TVs, four high-refresh inputs minus one eARC connection leaves three. PC capability creates a separate conditional upgrade.
The lower TV price can disappear into a furniture change
If the TV sits on furniture you want to keep, measure before chasing the B5 offer. Its feet span 41.6 inches. C6 uses an 18.5-inch central stand, a 23.1-inch difference in support spacing even though the whole screens are nearly the same width. That can decide the purchase in a rented room where wall work and a larger cabinet are both unattractive. It does not mean a cabinet only 18.5 inches wide is safe for C6. Full support, furniture rating, depth, cable routing and anti-tip measures still apply. If the existing cabinet safely takes both TVs, compare their current prices without inventing a furniture saving.
How we reached this conclusion
Existing furniture plus limited ability to rearrange a rented room. 41.6 minus 18.5 equals 23.1 inches of foot-spacing difference. Full width remains 57 versus 56.7 inches. No minimum cabinet width inferred.
A planned wall mount changes which part of the upgrade is useful
The central stand loses most of its buying value if the TV is going straight onto the wall. Both exact 65-inch models use a 300 by 200 mm VESA pattern, so the remaining questions are the mount’s approved load and fit, safe installation and the picture you want in that room. C6’s 165 Hz option still matters to a suitable PC. It does nothing for a household using only the built-in streaming apps and a PS5. Conversely, a buyer who cannot arrange wall work should keep the stand difference near the top of the decision. Do not treat matching bolt spacing as permission to reuse a bracket without checking it.
How we reached this conclusion
Installation plan crossed with included stand value and VESA pattern. A bounded reversal of the furniture recommendation, not a universal wall-mount compatibility claim.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | LG B5 65-inch OLED65B5PUA | LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two consoles and an eARC soundbar | Four 4K120 inputs. eARC on HDMI 3. | Four 4K120 inputs. eARC on HDMI 2. | Both leave three high-refresh connections. The C6 upgrade is not needed simply to avoid console cable swapping. |
| Supplied stand footprint | Two feet spanning 41.6 inches, 9.3-inch installed depth. | 18.5-inch central stand, 9.1-inch installed depth. | C6 reduces the foot spread by 23.1 inches, not the full TV width. Check the complete support and safety requirements. |
| PC input ceiling | 4K120 with VRR. | Up to 4K165 with compatible PC and VRR. | A console-focused room may never use this difference. A sufficiently fast PC can. |
| Mounting pattern and screen width | VESA 300 by 200. Full TV width 57 inches. | VESA 300 by 200. Full TV width 56.7 inches. | Wall mounting largely removes the foot-spacing decision. Matching VESA holes alone does not certify an existing bracket or wall. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose LG B5 65-inch OLED65B5PUA
- Exact 65-inch OLED65B5PUA.AUSZ. Check the new offer, seller and any furniture changes before deciding it is the cheaper complete setup.
If you choose LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA
- Exact 65-inch OLED65C6PUA with central stand. A faster PC, compatible cable and suitable game are needed to use refresh rates above 120 Hz.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
B5’s feet fit safely and the household only needs 120 Hz gaming
Choose LG B5 65-inch OLED65B5PUA. The lower range keeps the same number of suitable direct console connections.
The central stand avoids an otherwise necessary installation change
Choose LG C6 65-inch OLED65C6PUA. C6 can be the more practical complete purchase, even when its PC ceiling goes unused.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
You want to avoid paying for gaming capability your consoles cannot use, but a cheaper screen should not force a furniture purchase.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- No matched brightness, input-lag or longevity test by BestProductFit.
- B5 primary testing used 77 inches. No exact measured brightness advantage is calculated for these two 65-inch offers.
- A shared VESA pattern is only one part of safe wall-mount compatibility.
