The LG B2 has good SDR peak brightness. It's enough to fight glare if you have a few small lights around, but scenes with larger areas of bright colors, like in hockey or basketball, are dimmer due to the Automatic Brightness Limiter. Even though the TV gets brighter than the LG C2 OLED with the test slides, the C2 is still brighter with real content, but the difference isn't too noticeable.
This was tested in the 'Expert Dark Space' Picture Mode with the OLED Pixel Brightness at its max, Adjust Contrast on '85', Color Temperature set to 'Warm 50', and Peak Brightness on 'High'. These results are from after calibration, but the results are the same from before calibration.
Enabling the Peak Brightness setting causes a variation in brightness between different scenes. Disabling it keeps the brightness more consistent, but large areas are still dim. You can see the results with it disabled below:
- Peak 2% Window: 322 cd/m²
- Peak 10% Window: 322 cd/m²
- Peak 25% Window: 323 cd/m²
- Peak 50% Window: 322 cd/m²
- Peak 100% Window: 193 cd/m²
- Sustained 2% Window: 305cd/m²
- Sustained 10% Window: 305 cd/m²
- Sustained 25% Window: 307 cd/m²
- Sustained 50% Window: 304 cd/m²
- Sustained 100% Window: 184 cd/m²
If you want the brightest image possible and don't care about image accuracy, use the 'Standard' Picture Mode with OLED Pixel Brightness and Adjust Contrast set to '100', Auto Dynamic Contrast on 'Medium', Peak Brightness on 'High', and Color Temperature set to '0'. This results in a peak brightness of 556 cd/m² in the 2% window.
