LG OLED55B8 4K HDR OLED TV review

For the past few years, LG has pursued  a policy of giving every OLED TV series in any given year’s range more or less the same picture quality. For 2018, though, it tried something different. Its entry-level B8 TVs  use a less powerful processor than the C8, E8 and W8 siblings, enabling it to sell this 55in set for £1,200 – versus £1,800 for the step-up 55C8.
