Sometimes the streaming apps fail to load and the TV has to be completely restarted, but overall the picture quality is great! Prior to our soundbar connecting, the speakers are also not bad.

Great picture, can get TOO BRIGHT...i definitely only watch at 50-80% brightness. Love the flush wall mount. Great gaming hub. My only complaint is how bright the settings tabs are when in HDR..like eye piercing bright. Why the menus arent black or translucent is dumb.

Wonderful TV for video games. I paired with Philips Hue Lights, Philips Synce Box, Philips Bridge and Apple TV. Now beautiful thin TV and light that reacts to my gameplay, movies and shows.

I will start by saying the new tandem 4 stack OLED tech is every bit as good as advertised. Picture quality is great with unbelievably high brightness, I’d argue even brighter than most LED TV’s. Processing is top notch and build quality is phenomenal as well. Only downside is that there is a good macro blocking in low res content and black can crush in dark scenes. Overall, I’d say LG nailed it this year. Anyone looking for a high quality OLED with awesome gaming features and picture quality, just purchase it and be happy for years to come.

Had to get a new TV after my last LG OLED C9 died after almost 6 years, decided to make the jump up to the G series and it’s a substantial difference in quality to make it one of the best TVs I have ever seen.
I mainly watch movies and game on my TV - this TV handles both in spades. It has all the bells and whistles for current gen consoles, including VRR support, 120 fps, and Dolby Vision for gaming on the Series X. The OLED panel is top of class with one of highest nit ratings for how bright the panel can get when using HDR, meaning you will get absolutely gorgeous visuals with high contrast on screen, all with incredible clarity. Response time for gaming is very good with game mode on, and best yet is this TV does not drop visual clarity nearly as much when Game Mode is activated.
It’s an expensive TV but if you are looking for one that is worth every penny, I can’t recommend it enough. It will genuinely make you say “Whoa” when you are checking out 4K content

I bought the LG 65" G5 TV for movie watching & very specifically for fast paced FPS gaming while still being capable of an absolutely stunning 4K picture.
Overall I am very happy with this TV (so far) & would purchase this same TV again.
PRO's:
*High speed gaming is incredible.
*Gaming dashboard is a nice feature.
*Picture is absolutely amazing.
*All HDMI ports are high speed.
*Nice looking TV, very thin
CON's:
*No included owners manual with TV, it has to be downloaded. While a digital version is a nice option, an included hardcopy is preferred.
*The remote is 'minimalist' & very generic for a TV at this level, but does work properly.
*Would not work with my older expensive premium HDMI cables that I was using with my older LG OLED TV, I had to buy all new HDMI cables.

The LG EVO G5 is hands down one of the best TVs I’ve ever owned. From the moment you unbox it, the sleek design and ultra-thin profile exude premium craftsmanship. It mounts nearly flush to the wall, transforming your living room into a modern gallery.
What truly sets the G5 apart is its picture quality. The OLED evo panel delivers breathtaking color, deep inky blacks, and exceptional contrast. Whether you’re watching a movie in Dolby Vision or playing games in 4K HDR, the visuals are incredibly vibrant and lifelike. Even fast-paced scenes are smooth and detailed, thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate and LG’s top-tier motion handling.
Gaming on this TV is phenomenal. With HDMI 2.1 support, low input lag, G-SYNC and FreeSync compatibility, it’s a dream setup for next-gen consoles and PC gaming.
WebOS is smarter and snappier than ever, and the Magic Remote makes navigating streaming apps effortless. LG’s AI Picture Pro and sound enhancements are genuinely impressive, often eliminating the need for a separate soundbar in smaller spaces.
Overall, the LG EVO G5 is a premium OLED experience that exceeds expectations in every category—design, performance, and user experience. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. It’s worth every penny.

Will never be connected to the internet and will never be set to anything other than film-maker mode. I updated the firmware via USB because this model had problems with the stock firmware.
It's a big TV, the picture quality (in film-maker mode) is good. I can't speak for the other display modes, yuck @ all of that. The mounting system works well, but was poorly explained in the documentation. I hadn't upgraded TVs in over 10 years so it was a good step up in terms of picture quality and so forth. I don't know that I would ever recommend connecting these spy-devices to the internet.
The operating system and interface leaves much to be desired. It's ok, set it up once, and then you can never deal with the TV settings again thanks the HDMI E-ARC and a good receiver. Thankfully, a lot of the most offensive settings (motion smoothing and so on) can be turned off. The menus are not particularly intuitive, and like all TV manufacturers they use made-up LG-specific words that they presumably copyright to describe general picture settings.
I would never tell someone to buy an expensive TV, because the value just isn't there for folks who watch general streaming shows and sports. I wanted the best picture quality for movies, and to get that I have to fight with the manufacturer's desire to insert garbage at every turn. NO THANK YOU, TO: AI features, frame smoothing, and the rest of that crap.
Film-maker Mode Forever! just make a good panel!

The LG G5 65” is a game changer for me. I’ve waited a long time to buy an OLED and this is THE one. It’s bright enough for any room and has the black level and shadow detail you need for a theater room. It can do it all. It has a wider color gamut, higher NIT’s more color saturation and the screen uniformity is unmatched. Unlike Samsung, it has Dolby Vision. You can’t beat DV for movies and Netflix. The remote is a letdown and continues to be LG’s proprietary RF style. There’s an HDR bug for gamers causing posterization and banding. it was a problem for Dolby Vision but that’s been patched. The HDR patch is supposedly coming in July. I can’t say enough about this TV for DV format viewing. Equally amazing is HD streamed content. The SDR presentation is the best I’ve see. Big step up here from my 2018 era Sony. It will be tough to leave OLED after this.

It's a great TV and picture with more options and smart features than you can shake a stick at. However, there is no manual that discusses it's many features, which means you learn by trial and error. The screen is also glossy and easily shows the reflections of light sources in the room. Since the TV is is very bright, this is not a problem except in dark scenes where there are a lot of blacks shown. I might have bought the Samsung S95F but for 2 things - This TV and no other OLED that I am aware of is capable of being flush-mounted. Also, given the minor difference in picture quality, I would have likely bought the LG C5 ($600 cheaper) if it was flush mountable. It would be nice if LG in the future would add some kind of anti-reflective coating like the Samsung's. Sound quality is great for a TV, but I have it paired with a soundbar with a subwoofer. All in all, I'm very happy with the TV.

I got this to replace my LG E8. It does for the most part live up to the pre-release hype from reviewers. I use it for streaming, 4k UHD blu rays, PS5 and a Nintendo Switch. It greatly improved the picture quality in my Nintendo Switch (with the right settings and NOT game optimizer mode for SDR content). After owning this TV for a couple days, i have zero need or desire to go with a mini led or other type of TV. This sucker is bright and the color volume at bright levels is insane for an OLED. Here’s the two things that really really bother me thou. The new remote is absolutely terrible. I can’t stress that enough. They took buttons off of it that were incredibly useful, like the input button! The software interface is also terrible. It’s cluttered and you have to navigate that mess to change inputs on the TV, because again, the remote doesnt have a button! I almost docked this a star because of how annoying these two things are for the price you pay for this TV. However, when you are watching a movie or gaming, you will not find a better experience elsewhere.
