65-Inch Class OLED evo AI Super Upscaling 4K G5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos, Vision, HDR10, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED65G5WUA, 2025)

I really like the G5 OLED. It’s a huge upgrade over the last-gen G4 and the cheaper C5. LG’s new RGB tandem panel finally catches up to the QD-OLED panels from Samsung/Sony in terms of color vibrance and accuracy. QD-OLED still has a slight edge in vibrance, but Tandem OLED far exceeds them in terms of peak brightness, leading to more detail in highlights. This is a great TV for a home theater. The 4K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate are also ideal for gaming. Personally, I was torn between LG’s G5 and Sony’s Bravia 8 II. Both are excellent TVs and you won’t be disappointed with either. Ultimately the reason I went with this TV was its lower price. If you’re the type of person who wants a premium experience with every bell and whistle, there are a few minor drawbacks: - No DTS:X surround sound support (Dolby Atmos or 5.1 only) - ATSC 1 tuner (limited to 720p/1080i instead of 1080p for over the air broadcasts) - Poor quality speakers (soundbar recommended) - No stand included (comes with wall mount) - No HDR10+ support (HLG/HDR10/Dolby Vision only) I can overlook its flaws, as I primarily purchased this for its display panel and the panel is outstanding. Most buyers will use their own soundbars or surround setups anyways, bypassing the default speakers. ATSC 1 isn’t an issue if you receive television over the internet or cable. HDR10+ would’ve been a nice bonus for wider support, but in most cases Dolby Vision is preferable when the media source supports it. The lack of DTS:X is baffling though, as it’s included on LG’s older TVs. Overall, I’d recommend buying this if the price is right. But also be sure to compare current prices against the upcoming G6 and C6H from LG to get the best deal.

OLED Lives up to the hype! We have a 12+ year old Panny plasma 1080P tv that we keep in a guest room and I’ve always noted that the picture quality was still better than our newest LCD’s. That got me into checking into an OLED. I did my research and checked YouTube reviews and the LG seemed to be THE one to get if you get one, so I pulled the trigger. WOW!! The picture quality is unreal. The perfect blacks and bright colors will blow you away. I’ve rewatched several movies just to see how incredible they look on this TV. I do suggest searching picture settings on YouTube for this model. There are several videos that will give you great tips for the best pictures quality possible. Set up was a breeze and the interface is easy to navigate. I wish the remote had backlit buttons but I’ll live. Sound quality is above average. The mounting bracket that comes with it is a plus. Pretty easy process to mount. If you want a tv with an absolute beautiful picture, this is the one. Yes, the prices for LCD’s are considerably lower but you will not get a picture quality this good.

I had my Roku set up for my older tv. Tv finally died on me, so this one was pretty much plug and play. Including using my old Vespa Universal TV mount. Sound bar and everything immediately synced in. With that being said I just had to tweak new settings to kids, so my child doesn't have problems from the TV being too bright. The package came in another box layered on top of the store-bought box. Inside the box is a layer of thick Styrofoam and hard air cushioned plastic corners with an easy to life off box as the bottom is already open somewhat. So, this TV opens somewhat like a matchbox, be mindful you may want help as you don't want the tv to fall over. I learned the hard way upon opening that the TV did not have an included TV stand. Lucky for me, my old dead TV had a universal TV mount. Easy unscrew and screw on due to my old TV mount being a universal mount for certain sizes. The visual on this TV after I set it up to just scan and some random option to play settings to bypass color and brightness to a universal setting was marvelous. The Netflix series the Witcher preview was one of the first things I saw, which was a lot of black mixed in with lightning. It is very hard to see a black monster, in black water in a black background, but I was able to see every feature with astounding clarity. That being said this TV made older sourced movies and shows seem somewhat 3d rendered as the images that focus up front stood out more as if getting that mirage feel from a portrait. I have been playing games for more than two decades and sitting in front of a 4k monitor so looking at a lesser quality tv due to certain DPI modes and settings stands out to me. That being said, issues of blooming does appear on this TV but it is so rare and infrequent that you may not even notice unless someone points it out to you or you specifically look for it. In Dr. Sleep, there is a brief image of light going through a window, the blooming occurred on the edge of a window ledge that stood out too uniformed. Which in all fairness you can see this on an IPHONE 16 pro picture on some people's hairs. So, the best way to say this, is that if you like your high-quality images on an IPHONE 16 or similar camera pixel, this is what you are looking at for your TV shows for this quality of TV. I am still astounded that this TV literally makes images look somewhat 3d without glasses. I have seen the LG C5 version in Cosco. I cannot vouch the same crisp image as I can for my iPhone on the C5. But do keep in mind source images matter and I don't think some people realize they should see the TV at the start of when it got turned on and 12 hours later running constantly. You may be surprised that some TVs will begin to stutter. Which may ruin your TV binging. Gotta love the thin bezel. Almost see pure screen like the old Plasma days. That being said, I believe this is akin to a Plasma TV, except much lighter in weight. Notes. TV Vesa table mounting was easy. I am using and have been using 8k HDMI cables. Which is good for multiple things but mainly for sound and video quality as my TV is connected to a LG soundbar which pretty much connects plug and play on this tv. Look for a deal on 8K and set it and forget it to get maximum quality and possibly zero chance of data stuttering. A 55 to a 65 inch gains a reported 40 percent more tv volume space. Be mindful of seller's choice of vendor as Fed Ex did not call to set up an appointment for me. You will need to have a Vesa universal tv mount ready for this if you decide to put the tv on a table as it only comes with the wall mount attachment.
