If you prioritize saving money and still want a quality OLED TV, the LG B3 is a good choice despite it having slightly less superior picture quality and sound compared to the LG G1. However, if you want a TV with a higher-end build and better picture and sound performance, and don't mind spending more, the LG G1 may be worth the extra cost. The B3 is newer and may have some more up-to-date features, while the G1 also includes a sleek flush wall mount instead of a traditional stand, which might appeal to you if wall mounting is a consideration.
