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.

The 3 stars are not for the TV itself...Nothing wrong with the TV I'm sure, however BestBuy and LG really need to be a lot clearer in the product description that the G5 DOES NOT have a stand included with it. It ONLY comes packaged with hardware for a wall mount. I ordered the 65" G5 at the end of October during the early Black Friday deal, got it delivered, was super excited to set it up. Got it out of the box and... no stand. I had to order the stand separately from another retailer and even then it was on backorder from LG. Not even available on LG's website, they were waiting for them to come in as well. So, I carefully repackaged the TV so it wouldn't get damaged while I wait for the stand to come in and THEN get shipped from NY.
Very frustrating that it wasn't really stated that there was no stand included when the TV was purchased.

I’ve been eyeing this TV for some time, so when I saw the outstanding Black Friday sale…I took advantage of it. It is SO vivid and quite the upgrade from my previous C8 that we had…we absolutely are thrilled with it. The picture quality is unreal, and the profile is absolutely amazingly thin. It’s fits like a piece of art if you use the mount provided or if you have existing mount you can use that as well. I ended up opting for using my existing mount because of the height on the wall (above fireplace) and its viewing angle.

This tv was replacing a similarly sized tv from a competitor brand that had been nothing but trouble from day one. Set up was incredibly easy, picture quality has blown me away. The deepness of the black is like nothing I've seen before and regardless of any glare in the room, the tv looks great from all angles. I think the ultimate though was when my wife commented on how good the picture looks, as this is something that she generally doesn't pay attention to or comment on.

Upgraded from my Samsung S90C and this tv delivers so much more than that tv ever could, especially the brightness. Lg knicked it out of the park with this tv, makes anybodys loving room into a private cinema.

Just got this tv today. Scared of all the info about issues with HDR10. Did not see any software updates to correct issue but all seems to be ok in fact OUTSTANDING. WE LOVE THIS TV. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Color is great - don't know if it'll stay that way but great for now. So glad I got this best buy LG G5 OLED tv. Thanks to Matt for install and to whoever built this beautiful tv. I still have lots to learn about it but I will.

This is the best tv I’ve ever seen. I did a whole lot of research before trying it. The picture out of the box is great but there are many many tweaks available. I can’t comment on the sound because it was immediately connected to a sound bar. The only drawback is that it doesn’t come with a stand. Bestbuy has several stands that work but make sure the one you want is in stock. They aren’t cheap and neither is the tv but, for me, well worth it.

I upgraded from the LG 65" CX to the new 65" G5, and the difference is stunning. Brightness levels are dramatically improved, vivid and punchy without sacrificing detail. HDR performance and color accuracy are exceptional, delivering a truly immersive viewing experience. The response time is lightning fast, making it a dream for gaming.
Movie watching on the G5 is a standout experience. Scenes feel more cinematic, with deep contrast and rich detail that pull you in. Compared to other brands like Samsung, the G5 stands out as a more reliable choice. LG’s consistency in picture quality, gaming performance, and overall refinement makes this model easy to recommend. If you're looking for a premium TV that delivers across the board, the G5 is absolutely worth it.

All I can say is WOW! Watching this tv is like looking out a window. The picture is so crisp and sharp. The color is amazing. I highly recommend this tv. Do note that it doesn’t come with a stand but it can be purchased separately.

This television delivers a strong overall viewing experience and is well worth considering for everyday use. The picture quality is sharp and vibrant, with clear details and good color balance, making movies, shows, and sports enjoyable to watch. Even in brighter rooms, the screen performs well without too much glare.

So glad I purchased this. The picture is fantastic and the sound is great! The remote is easy to use, as is the guides and menu. The view is good even at side angles. It's a wonderful tv and well worth the investment.

The picture quality in the TV is amazing bright clear overall couldn’t have chosen a better TV.
The people that work in the Mesquite Best Buy know what they’re talking about whenever they’re selling these TVs they convinced me 10 out of 10
The only thing I recommend getting a sound bar and any TV you end up buying sound quality is horrible even on the best TVs

I just got this TV delivered a couple of days ago so this is an instant impressions review. So far, the TV looks fantastic and works wonderfully well. The reason for the deducted star is the awful user interface. When I turned on the TV I was immediately inundated with a car ad audio included. I was able to disable the ad but that left the upper right area of the home screen blank except for a fixed still photo. I've enjoyed using a Google TV streamer on my previous TV so I bought the new 4k version. That provides a much better user interface but at an additional expense. I definitely suggest changing the picture control to cinema or filmmaker as the default out of the box setting is way too blue. At least to my taste. I may update this review if longer term use leads to new opinions. I don't use TV speakers so really don't have any opinion on the TV's audio. I connect through an optical cable to my stereo system.

Display screen is awesome. It took me a minute to adjust the screen brightness/color/contrast by searching on YouTube to find a good setting that works for me. It is definitely lighter then my G1 65
Cons
1. Update the tv. Next-Gen antenna is not showing up even though it is list as part of LG specs for G5 series.
2. I do not like the new remote it sucks it does not give me the ability to enter the number.
So far these are the reasons why I can give it 5 stars.

I have a very bright family room and LG G5 is working great! Love the colors and brightness coming out of this tv at any time of the day. However, the TV Remote is terrible. Other than that high marks from my side!

This TV is so awesome, that we bought two of them. It is so amazing. My neighbor says she could see it from the end of the street. The color is so fabulous. This is a great buy and it has a five-year warranty because it’s a G5. To me that is a no-brainer so I stepped it up in caliber of quality.

This TV is totally amazing! The color and images are almost life like. In sports mode I watched opening day of football and it was like being in the field! Movies are realistic! Best money I have ever spent!
