LG's OLED G5 Television: Could This Be the Television of the Year?
The tech world is abuzz with the latest offering from LG, the OLED G5. This new model boasts a host of exciting features that set it apart from its predecessor, the G4, and its competitors.
The key difference in the G5 versus the G4 predecessor is a new four-layer stacked OLED panel type, called 'Brightness Booster Ultimate'. This innovation promises to deliver universally excellent picture quality for TV, cinema, and gaming.
The LG OLED G5 is available in sizes from 55-inch to 83-inch, with the 65-inch model being reviewed. Pricing varies by country and size, but in the United States, the LG OLED evo AI G5 4K Smart TV (likely 65-inch) is priced around **$2,299 to $2,500** depending on the retailer and exact model. In the United Kingdom, the 55-inch LG G4 model has been available for around **£999**, with the newer G5 model expected to be significantly higher than the G4, though exact current UK prices are not specified. In Australia, specific pricing for the G5 was not provided, but it is expected to be at a premium, likely comparable to US pricing adjusted for local taxes and currency.
Powering the LG OLED G5 is the Alpha 11 4K AI Processor Gen 2, which brings new artificial intelligence enhancements. The model numbers include a 'W' for wall-mount in the box and 'S' for stand-mount.
The LG OLED G5 offers a range of advanced features, including AI upscaling, genre and scene recognition, dynamic tone mapping improvements, and object enhancing processing. It also includes Perfect Black tech, able to deliver black levels of just 0.24 nits, and Perfect Color tech to maintain accurate, realistic colors.
However, the biggest letdown from the LG OLED G5's perspective is the new remote's layout, which makes source input changes more challenging.
Despite this minor setback, the LG OLED G5's picture quality is approaching unbeatable, with some minor caveats to the chosen processing. It also offers plenty of picture control, including Filmmaker mode for perfect home cinema visuals.
The LG OLED G5 has four HDMI 2.1 ports, supporting 165Hz gaming sessions. A new 48-inch model is also available, but it's not as bright and has a 144Hz limit.
The LG OLED G5 is available now, with pricing information provided in the article. In the USA, 'WUA' models are designed for wall-mounting only, but a stand can be purchased separately. The 48-inch model is not available in the USA market.
The LG OLED G5's sound quality is fairly thin, but a soundbar accompaniment purchase is a given. LG makes some of the best soundbars as an accompaniment, ensuring that your viewing experience is both visually and audibly stunning.
The LG OLED G5 is a new flagship OLED TV with a multi-layer OLED technology. It faces stiff competition from rivals such as the Samsung S95F and Panasonic Z95B, but its innovative features and excellent picture quality make it a strong contender in the market.
For exact prices and available sizes, checking local retailers or LG’s official country websites is recommended as prices can vary by model size and local market promotions.
