Product Information
Powerful processing and wide-ranging compatibility make the LG OLED55B26LA the perfect TV for movies, gaming and smart TV.
SELF-LIT OLED – the ultimate picture technology
Rather than using a backlight, OLED TVs feature self-illuminating pixels. This SELF-LIT technology means that this LG 55 inch TV delivers 100% colour fidelity, infinite contrast with the deepest depth and stunning detail.
Powerful processing, made better – Alpha 7 Gen 5
Now in its fifth generation, LG’s powerful Alpha 7 processor continues to deliver optimum sound and vision. Using AI technology, the picture and sound are optimised to best suit the genre – be it movies, sport, gaming or regular TV. With Dynamic Tone Mapping, background enhancement and upscaling improvements, picture processing is more advanced than ever.
Now with AI Picture/Sound Pro for professional sound and vision
Previously only available on higher models, AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro are now standard on the OLED55B26LA. AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. AI Sound Pro leans from more than 17 million audio data points, identifying voices, effects and frequencies. From here, it optimises the sound by genre, giving a more natural sound quality.
Ultimate detail - Dolby Vision IQ
For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
HDR made better, with HDR10 Pro
LG’s powerful processing also helps in getting the very best from HDR10 material. Whether watching movies or gaming with HDR10 games, HDR10 Pro intensifies the regular HDR experience. HDR10 Pro automatically adjusts the brightness, enhancing colour and detail for a more vivid picture.
See the picture exactly as originally intended, with Filmmaker Mode
If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Made for gaming – with Game Optimiser and more
The improved Game Optimiser utilises an enhanced gaming menu, giving you quick access to important settings. There are now five game genre presets, including a new one for sports games. Equipped with 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 sockets*, this LG TV is designed to get the very best from today’s, and future, games consoles. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) mean that your TV automatically adjusts to the optimised settings for gaming – giving you a smoother and faster response.
*2 of the 4 HDMI sockets are HDMI 2.1.
Dolby Atmos compatible sound
With a Dolby Atmos processor built-in this LG 55” TV decodes Atmos sound tracks - giving you the potential for an even more immersive sound. With its built-in speaker system and punchy amp, the OLED55B26LA delivers a smooth, well-balanced sound.

Widely regarded as one of the best smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system continues to set the standard. The latest webOS 22 offers improved personalisation and recommendations. You can create up to six personalised profiles, with individual viewing suggestions, sport alerts and app lists.
Magic Remote for easy control
LG’s Magic Remote has always led the field for simple, gesture control. As well as this, the remote features direct keys for popular streaming services Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + and Rakuten TV. Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa also get dedicated buttons for simply voice recognition.
The hub of your home entertainment – with voice control

Taking sound to the next dimension, the LG S80QR uses a unique speaker array for cinematic immersion.
World-first, triple up-firing soundbar for a deeper dimension in sound
Matched to its three front channels of sound (left, centre, right), the LG S80QR has three upwards-firing channels. These give an added dimension to the sound, reflecting it from the ceiling for a far more immersive, cinematic soundstage.
Rear speakers included for the full surround sound effect
For an even more enveloping experience, the LG S80QR comes with rear speakers as standard. These sync with the soundbar to give you the true sensation of cinema sound. The wireless speakers use a dedicated receiver, meaning there’s no need for wires running from the front to the back of your room.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for immersive sound
There’s no better way to make use of the up-firing channels of sound than with Dolby Atmos or DTS:X encoded movies or games. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X recreate the 3D-effect of sound from above. With this LG soundbar reflecting sound from the ceiling, you experience the effect of an overhead spacecraft, tropical thunderstorm or celestial soundtrack.
Certified for IMAX Enhanced
IMAX Enhanced brings home the sound and picture immersion you experience from IMAX cinemas. Available on selected Blu-ray discs and now on streaming platforms, such as Disney+, IMAX Enhanced is a guarantee of extended picture and sound. When used with a compatible TV, you see an expanded aspect ratio, delivering up to 26% more picture with selected scenes. In the case of this soundbar, IMAX Enhanced works with partner DTS to reproduce IMAX’s signature sound. Expect a deeper bass and more dynamic sound for edge-of-seat sonic thrills.
Powerful bass
Making sure the S80QR has the thunder to match the sonic immersion, the supplied subwoofer is fitted with a larger bass cone. The 8-inch cone punches hard, letting you feel the true impact of your favourite action movies, games and music. The wireless connection means that it can be placed anywhere in the room, regardless of how close it is to the soundbar (mains power required).

Meridian Audio is an exclusive audio company, with their products gracing the finest home hi-fi and premium car systems. The partnership with Meridian sees their world-beating digital processing technology used to deliver absolute audio precision. The result is rich sound quality that’s more lifelike than ever.

AI Sound Pro for the perfect sound – whatever the programme
AI Sound Pro gives you the ideal sound balance - whatever you're watching. LG's unique technology analyses the signal and adjusts the balance to suit. If it senses high vocal levels, for example, then it automatically lowers the bass, making speech programmes, such as the news or commentary, much clearer and more detailed.
