LG - 48" Class C5 Series OLED evo AI 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025)

I honestly have no idea what LG was thinking with the remote on this TV. The picture quality is excellent and the TV itself looks great, but the remote design really takes away from the experience. There’s no dedicated mute button, and the motion controller feature randomly turns on and acts like a Wii-style pointer, which can be pretty frustrating to deal with. The center “OK” button also sticks out quite a bit and feels awkward to press. It’s very easy to hit accidentally. The TV is mounted in my bedroom, and the sound seems a little quieter than expected as well. I’m not that old, so I don’t think it’s my hearing. Overall, the display is impressive, but LG really needs to rethink the remote control design. It’s probably the most frustrating part of an otherwise good TV.

LG makes the best TV and this one is great. The brightness and colors is perfect in the day time sun and darkness at night. Very minimal glare during peak daytime sun. We were limited on space so the 48" was as big as we could have in our living room. Have had the TV for a month and the only issue I have is the TV does not show the volume numbers just an up or down setting. Great overall TV and will buy from this company in the future.

Using in bedroom and upgrading to OLED. This TV has a great picture with rich color. My first OLED television. It also has an easy to use interface so it is very quick to set up. I wanted a TV with a faster processor because I do so much streaming. The sound quality is pretty good. I watch a lot of sports and this TV can easily handle the fast action. I am satisfied with my purchase.

LG makes fantastic OLED televisions. Amazingly deep colors with infinite contrast. The processor is very fast, faster than most. High speed HDMI ports made for gaming with HDR, it's a powerful tv. As soon as you click YouTube or Netflix, it's up. It has a very bright screen, brighter than earlier models of OLEDs. You'll have no problem in a bright room. It powers up quickly and the revised remote control is intuitive, and when you hold the volume button down continuously, it automatically mutes. It's super thin and looks great. One of the loudest OLED tvs I've used, but the sound isn't very deep. The AI audio does help, but I would recommend a sound bar.

The LG C5 is truly amazing. Aside from the obvious picture detail, the brightness in this TV is great. Especially if you are in a darker room as I am. I have lights on, but they are not bright. If you are in a super bright room, then OLED may not be way to go or QD-OLED might a better option for you as this is a W-OLED. The C5 offers 1 major thing I personally love and that is being able to adjust a lot of the settings. Some OLEDs don't allow it and some allow very few customizations. Here I am able to adjust both Brightness AND Peak Brightness along with the Aspect Ratio, Color Depth, tint, white balance, clarity, resolution and more. If you are coming from Roku or Google TV then Web OS will be different but not bad at all. If you stay on the menu long, then eventually a moveable screen saver appears. Those who use Apple 4k TV will know exactly what it is. For Web OS you are able to remove the ADs that pop up so keep that in mind if you are like me and do not like ADs at all. LG gave you the option to remove them. Sound Quality is good, but I can't speak much to it since I use headphones most of the time. From what I can hear, I would definitely look into a soundbar if you are big into movies or anime. Burn in will always be there BUT it is very rare now days. Make sure you turn on the OLED care features. This automatically adjust the pixels. The only people that should worry about burn in now days are those that use it on 1 channel for 8-12 hours a day. Those people are usually the ones that watch FOX News or CNN but this happens around 2000-3000 hours of everyday usage which is about 8-12 months in. The TV also has a feature that if you want to leave a channel on all day but mainly for background noise or want to listen to music on your TV then you can turn off the screen while the TV is still on. This is a GREAT feature I personally use. But just use your TV. Don't get too caught up online with burn in because it will make you question everything and the point of you getting a new TV is for you to enjoy it.
