LG C5 vs LG G5: Which OLED TV is the better buy?
The G5 is LG's flagship OLED in 2025. It delivers an incredible picture with some of the brightest highlights you'll find on an OLED TV. It also comes packed with features. As one of the brand's newest TVs, you're unlikely to find substantial discounts on the G5, and the TV's stand is sold separately.
LG just released its 2025 OLED TV lineup, and unsurprisingly, these models are among the best TVs you can buy right now.
At the tippy-top of the lineup is the flagship LG G5. It's one of a handful of OLED TVs in 2025 that leverages LG Display's all-new, 4th-generation OLED panel.
Below the G5 is the mid-range LG C5 OLED, an incredible, five-star TV that combines stellar performance with a more agreeable price tag than the flagship G5.
They share many of the same features and design elements, but you really ought to know what sets them apart before reaching for your credit card. Fortunately, I've got over a decade of experience testing and reviewing TVs, and I'm super-familiar with both of these LG OLEDs.

These are similarly spec'd TVs, but let's break down a few key differences.
The G5 supports 4K gaming at 165Hz, but the C5 is capped at 144Hz. You really don't need to concern yourself with this difference unless you're planning on using one of these TVs with a gaming PC, as current-generation consoles top out at 120Hz for 4K games.
The G5 also taps a better processor, but most of the advantages here are behind the scenes. In terms of the user experience, they're largely the same.
Dolby Vision support is in the cards for both of these TVs, though HDR10+ is absent. I wouldn't worry too much about this, however, as Dolby Vision is the more popular format across various streaming platforms.
The C5 has a slight edge when it comes to size availability compared to its souped-up sibling. There are 42- and 48-inch models in the C5 series for folks who want a smaller-sized TV, or for people who want to use an LG OLED TV as a monitor.
Last year, LG included a stand with 55- and 65-inch versions of its G Series OLED. The all-new G5, however, doesn't come with a stand at any size point, as LG assumes that most people plan on taking advantage of the TV's gap-free, wall-mounted design.
You can check out the G5's separately sold stand in the photo above. It's a sturdy, pedestal-style stand that screws into the back of the panel.
The G5 is noticeably thicker than the C5, but this is so the panel can sit flush against a wall.
The C5 (seen above) includes a stand in the box. This makes it the more accommodating choice, though it won't look as sleek when wall-mounted.
I dig the slab-like appearance of the C5's stand, which compliments the TV's eye-popping thinness.
Both TVs arrive with a new, slimmed-down remote with a different set of buttons than what we saw on previous LG Magic Remotes.
These clickers offer the motion-activated, Wii-like controls that LG TV remotes are known for, but they don't have an input button. This, to me, is a serious bummer, as you'll have to pull up the TV's menus whenever you swap inputs.
While I can't understate just how cool the G5 looks in its wall-mounted formation, there's no denying that more people are in the market for a TV with a stand. (It also helps that the C5 is a seriously good-looking TV.)
Winner: LG C5
Before we dive into which of these TVs is the better performer, let's compare their test results.

Thanks to its 4th-generation OLED panel from LG Display, the G5 is one of the brightest OLEDs we've ever tested, rivaling only QD-OLEDs from Sony and Samsung.
When you factor this in with the incredible contrast OLED displays are famous for, you get a dazzling picture with an unparalleled sense of depth.
Make no mistake, however: The C5 ain't a slouch when it comes to brightness. It's not equipped with LG Display's latest panel, but with highlight brightness over 1,000 nits, you'll still have plenty to ooh and ahh at.
The G5's boosted brightness truly makes a difference during cinematic, HDR-mastered content.
The G5 offers a brighter overall picture, too. Daytime TV, sports broadcasts, YouTube videos, you name it — the G5 is going to pack more of a punch.
Were you to place these TVs side by side, you might also notice brighter, bolder colors on the G5. It doesn't offer the gobsmackingly pure colors we've come to expect from quantum dot-enhanced OLEDs, but it covers over 80% of the Rec. 2020 color gamut, and that's a great spec to have in your back pocket.
In almost every other way, these TVs are equally as impressive. Both offer incredible out-of-the-box accuracy in LG's Filmmaker mode and both deliver sub-10ms input latency. They're just terrific TVs.
However, there's no denying the G5's performance chops. Its boosted brightness truly makes a difference during cinematic, HDR-mastered content. It's the primary reason to spend more on the G5.
Winner: LG G5
This is pretty straightforward: The C5 and the G5 are nearly identical when it comes to software and features.
They're both built around webOS 25, the newest version of LG's proprietary smart platform. Is it my favorite? Nope. But, for most folks, webOS will be fine as a daily driver. Its app support is relatively robust, and while there's a slew of sponsored content all over the place, navigation is pretty easy.
Along with a new AI button on the remote, the C5 and G5 offer several AI-based features. These new bells and whistles are intended to streamline how users discover new content and maintain viewing preferences across user profiles.
There's also an AI Chatbot intended to help folks navigate the TV's software and choose what to watch next. I haven't used this feature enough to settle on how I feel about it, but it's available on both models.
For gaming features, things are mostly the same across both models, too. As mentioned, each offers HDMI 2.1-compatibility across all four inputs. This is nice to have, as you won't have to think too hard about which port any given device should use.
The C5 and G5 also arrive with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), AMD FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility for smooth gameplay.
And, although the G5 supports 4K gaming at 165Hz, the C5 tops out at 144Hz. I wouldn't sweat this unless you were hoping to use the C5 as a monitor, though.
For the vast majority of viewers, these sets are basically the same when it comes to features. An argument could be made that the G5's maximalist approach should earn it a win in this category, but I can't bring myself to split those hairs.

When comparing scores out of 100, a difference between 94 and 95 doesn't seem like much. But packed within that 1-point difference is over 1,000 extra nits of HDR highlight brightness, better color volume and the extra-warm, tingly feeling of knowing that you're buying a top-of-the-line, flagship TV.
If you're the type of person who, deep down, knows that they'll never be satisfied without those warm feelings, you'd be justified in spending more on the flagship model.
Right now, the 65-inch LG G5 is $2,999 at Best Buy. That's a spicy meatball, but it's also $400 off its typical price, so you've got that going for you.
On the other hand, the 65-inch LG C5 just went on sale for $1,799. That's almost $1,000 off its usual price, and we're talking about one of the best OLED TVs of the year.
For most people, the C5 is just the better bet. Its relatively reasonable price tag is a big reason why it earned a five-star rating in our review. If you don't mind leaving some significant performance gains on the table, it'll be the perfect centerpiece to a living room or home theater.

You Asked: 42-inch OLED TV vs monitor? Can any LED match OLED's viewing angle?
On today's episode of You Asked: Can any LED TVs match the viewing angle of an OLED? Should you go with a 75-inch LED TV or a 65-inch OLED? And… the return of my favorite username with a pretty interesting question around OLED monitors. TCL QM7 (2024) vs TCL QM6K (2025) @A_Malo asks: TCL QM7 from 2024 or TCL QM6K from 2025? Good question—and one I'm sure a lot of people ask themselves when it comes to going with a current-year or previous-year model. Still, to me, the QM7 is the clear winner for the reasons you might expect. The most important is that it's brighter and has better black levels, so the HDR performance is going to be better. Image processing is also a bit better on the QM7. Now, the QM6K—in our review—did stand out because of how accurate the colors were out of the box, but the QM7 is still going to be the better buy, especially if they're around the same price right now. In fact, I think it's been pretty slept on. I remember we were quite disappointed by the 2023 model, the Q7, but when I saw the QM7 in person at CES 2024, I was pretty impressed by the improvements they made. Especially if it's a good deal, I'd go for it. Samsung 75-inch QN80F vs 65-inch OLED @aydncan5788 asks: Should I consider a 75-inch QN80F model or a 65-inch OLED TV with the same budget? What do you think? I think it depends a little bit on the OLED, but even a budget OLED like LG's B4 or B5 is going to be a considerably better performer than the QN80F. That Mini LED TV from Samsung isn't as bright as some of their models higher up the line, like the QN90F. Typically, brightness might be one of the only advantages an LED TV has over an OLED—but that's not likely the case with the QN80F. Again, not sure of the OLED, but if we compare it to an LG B-Series OLED, for example, it doesn't come with any huge advantages other than size in your scenario. Both have four HDMI 2.1 ports. LG supports Dolby Vision, while Samsung does not. Game mode responsiveness and input lag is pretty similar by the numbers, though the QN80F does have a faster max refresh rate at 144Hz compared to 120Hz on the B4. Still, I wouldn't say that's enough for me to give the nod to the QN80F. And as for size, a difference of 10 inches isn't enough to turn the tide either. Maybe if you were talking about an 85-inch versus a 65-inch, just based on getting a more immersive experience with a large screen. But the image quality of the OLED is too good to pass up in this scenario. OLED monitor + Apple TV vs 42-inch OLED TV @_Jiggle asks: I was thinking of getting an LG C4 42-inch OLED TV to use as a monitor. I'd be watching Netflix and whatnot, but it's quite expensive. So… I thought of getting an OLED monitor and pairing it with an Apple TV. Is this a good solution, and does it hinder certain things? I think there are a few things to consider here, but let's start with your main hang-up—the price. I'm seeing the 42-inch LG C4 at $900. I don't know what OLED monitor you're looking at, but in my search, I found that most OLED monitors costing less than $900 also came in much smaller sizes, like 32 inches—or even down to 27 inches. And if you had your eye on a 42-inch TV, that's a big compromise to make. Anything around 42 inches actually costs more than the C4. So unless I'm missing something, that's kind of a wrap on that. It feels like a choice between a 27-inch monitor to save money or just going with the LG C4. But there are some other things to keep in mind as your search continues. The first is the operating system. You mention potentially pairing it with an Apple TV. Some monitors do come with a built-in OS, like LG's webOS or Samsung's Tizen, but they may be above that $900 budget. And in general, TVs have better picture processing that's designed for viewing content like movies and shows. I believe they have superior upscaling abilities as well. It sounds like you're more interested in that than gaming, so if I were you, I'd just keep saving or waiting for a better sale and getting the C4 when you're ready—rather than chase something that ultimately may not fit your needs. Hope that helps. TVs with the best built-in sound @edwinsallan asks: What TV brand or model has the best sound from built-in speakers, where you won't need to buy a soundbar? Thanks for the question, Edwin. Just going off TVs I've seen that have stood out to me, I'm going to go with the Panasonic Z95A, and you can literally see why it has such great sound. There's an integrated soundbar strip along the bottom of the TV—typically where you'd place a soundbar connected via HDMI—and it does a great job elevating the Z95A's audio performance. Where it stood out in our review was dialogue clarity. I think it has a lot to do with speaker placement in addition to size. Most TV speakers are along the back or sides of the TV, which is an immediate disadvantage when it comes to sending clear dialogue toward the viewer. With the Z95A, that clarity is literally front and center. Unless you want additional components, like a subwoofer and surround speakers, you don't really need them to get a high-quality audio experience—in addition to outstanding OLED picture quality. Do any LED TVs match OLED viewing angles? @mike_98058 asks: Can any LED TVs match the viewing angle of OLED? I'm gonna do my best with this one, Mike, but I think physics are going to be the main factor keeping LED TVs—even some of the best Mini-LED TVs on the market—from matching OLED viewing angles. Because the pixels in OLED TVs light up individually, they create a more evenly distributed brightness and color source that can be seen more easily from multiple angles. LED TVs have come a long way, but a lot depends on the panel type as well. I notice it all the time when viewing my QN90C at home compared to some of the other brands we get into the studio. The QN90C uses an IPS panel, known for better viewing at wide angles with a tradeoff in contrast. VA panels are the opposite—with higher contrast and more narrow viewing angles. However, some of the big brands, like Sony and Samsung, are always working on improving VA panels to maintain great contrast—arguably the most important factor for creating a great viewing experience—while also improving viewing angles. And certainly, a lot of their more recent high-end 4K Mini LED TVs have reflected those improvements. But… it just doesn't quite match OLED.

I make a living testing TVs — these are the 5 TVs under $1,000 I'd buy right now
I've been testing and reviewing TVs for over ten years, and while plenty of people periodically pick my brain about the best TVs money can buy, I field far more questions about affordable TVs. As a bargain-hunter myself, I get it — I cut coupons, shop sales and dig for deals on a regular basis. And, having been immersed in the TV industry for nearly a third of my life, I'm particularly well equipped to help folks find budget-friendly TVs. These are my five favorite TVs under $1,000 right now. They're sets that not only keep costs down, but are good enough to feel like a proper case of treating oneself. My name is Michael, and if you'll let me toot my own horn for a second, I must admit: I'm pretty good at separating good TV deals from not-so-good TV deals. This is because I spend all year testing, reviewing and watching everything from dirt-cheap 32-inch TVs to top-shelf flagship models. I mean, don't get me wrong: I have hobbies and stuff. But TVs have been my professional bread and butter for over a decade now. Once upon a time, we published a glowing Panasonic W95A review, noting the TV's exceptional Mini-LED performance and robust set of features. Next thing we knew, the $1,299, 55-inch model had tumbled in price all the way down to $479. I don't need to explain to you why that's a terrific discount, but I can explain why this is a great TV. Its HDR highlight brightness is well over 1,000 nits, and on the whole, the W95A is bright enough for pretty much every environment. It also comes with a thorough array of features for gaming, Alexa integration with Amazon Fire TV and Dolby Vision support. Panasonic's fantastic Mini-LED TV has never been more affordable, so it's worth pouncing on this deal before it disappears. You're not just getting a great sale price with the W95A, you're also getting a superb, 55-inch Mini-LED TV loaded with extra features. We dug this TV when it was over a thousand bucks, and we really dig it now that it's below $500. This is my current favorite deals on a medium-sized OLED TV, and as of now, it's the only OLED TV on this list. The B4 is LG's entry-level OLED TV from 2024, and the 48-inch version is a Best Buy-exclusive model. Why do I love this TV so much? Well, it boasts all of the benefits of OLED (like perfect black levels and sumptuous-looking color) for a price most of us can afford. The B4 comes with a ton of upside for the price: It supports Dolby Vision, features an elegant design, and offers a full slate of four HDMI 2.1 ports that all support 4K gaming at 120Hz. In our LG B4 OLED review, we called the Editor's Choice TV for the value OLED TV of the year. Looking for an incredible OLED picture without the high price? Look no further. The LG B4 isn't as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you're still getting perfect black levels, ultra-wide viewing angles and a ton of features you'd find on higher-end LG OLEDs. TCL's entry-level Mini-LED TV is right in the "Goldilocks Zone" between value and performance. At around $650 for a 65-inch model, it's a perfect fit for people who want a big-sized TV with a decent set of features at a reasonable price. You can peruse our TCL QM6K review for a full report, but here's what I love about this TV in a nutshell: It's just bright enough for the average living room; arrives with terrific out-of-the-box accuracy (if you're into that sort of thing), and most importantly, it comes with Google TV baked right in. For most people shopping in this price range, Google TV is a great software suite to have in one's back pocket. It's easy to use and offers top-tier app support. Looking for something a little more impressive? Check out the next pick. The QM6K represents one of the most affordable ways to land a Mini-LED TV at the 65-inch size point. Google TV is available right out of the box, and the TV's relatively modest Mini-LED backlight keeps scenes visually appealing. The QM7K is a step up from the QM6K in nearly every way. Its performance, especially in HDR, is much more impressive. It's just a brighter, more colorful presentation that's more likely to wow viewers. The TCL QM7K is also packed with features, particularly gaming-related features. It's got a pair of HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs and supports 4K gaming up to 144Hz. You'll spend a couple hundred bucks more on the QM7K than you will the QM6K, but the added cost is up there on the screen and under the hood. TCL's mid-range Mini-LED TV is one of the best values of the year for folks looking for a powerful gaming TV at a relatively low price point. It's not quite as bright, colorful and packed with features as a higher-end Mini-LED TV, but it's much more versatile than an entry-level LED TV. You can read all about it in our Hisense U8QG review, but the first thing you ought to know about this Mini-LED marvel is that it's one of the brightest TVs we've tested all year. The 55-inch U8QG is just a hair under $1,000 right now, and if you've been looking for a 55-inch set that will dazzle an audience both day and night, this TV is just the ticket. The U8QG isn't just bright, it's also brilliantly colorful, making HDR content pop in a way it might not on lower-end Mini-LED TVs. It's also got plenty of extra features for gaming and beyond, including three HDMI 2.1 inputs, Google TV and Dolby Vision support. It's ready to support 4K gaming at 120Hz and all the way up to 165Hz, too. The newest entry in Hisense's popular U8 Series isn't quite as affordable as it was during Prime Day, but it's still seeing a steep discount right now. This is one of the most value-forward Mini-LED TVs of the year, as well as one of the brightest. The U8QG also comes with plenty of gaming-friendly features and Google TV built right in.

I'm a gamer and TV reviewer — here are the 5 gaming TVs I'd buy in 2025
Gaming TVs are tough to shop for: Not all displays meet the standards required by the Xbox Series X and PS5, and those that come close are often far too expensive. At the high-end of the market are OLED TVs that are often among the best gaming TVs you can buy. Their inky blacks and perfect HDR performance coupled with some of the lowest input latency, make OLEDs perfect for both console and PC gamers — too bad there's only a handful of them available for under $1,000. Meanwhile, Mini-LED TVs are a safe bet when you're trying to save some cash. Several Mini-LED TVs come relatively cheap and have a have higher brightness specs against OLEDs, offering slightly better glare mitigation if you're gaming during daylight hours. Both types of TVs have their advantages, and both can be amazing gaming TVs if you know what to look for. To help, I've wrangled my personal favorite picks and the TVs I'd buy if I were looking to get the best gaming performance for the lowest price. It's hard to compete with the LG C5 OLED. It's one of the few TVs we've given a perfect rating this year, with our review citing its incredible contrast and color metrics. The C5 can spit out as much as 344 nits in standard content and 1,179 nits in HDR, which is pretty commendable, but it's the inky black levels that gives it world-class contrast. And the LG C5 OLED is even better when we turn to its gaming features: Not only does it hit a 144Hz refresh rate with VRR, but it also has a low 9.1ms of input latency. It's one of the few TVs that falls under 9.5ms in our testing, right next to the Samsung S90F OLED. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. No console? No problem. WebOS has access to several cloud gaming services, making it an ideal choice for those who don't even have a PC or console. Just be sure to hard-wire the TV for the best results when using Xbox Game Pass or GeForce Now. The LG C5 OLED is one of our favorite value TVs and a brilliant OLED for those looking to save a little on the more advanced screen. With the C5, you get tons of gaming features, including a 144Hz refresh rate built on four total HDMI 2.1 ports. LG's webOS platform also has a slew of free channels to dive into as well as cloud gaming platforms. 48" for $1,29655" for $1,496 65" for $1,99677" for $2,99683" for $4,796 Panasonic came out swinging last year in its return to the US market by delivering not only two OLED TVs, but also launched a well-rounded Mini-LED TV called the W95A. I was totally blown away by this TV and it shows in my Panasonic W95A review, in which I gave it a four out of five stars. The biggest letdown for me at the time was its price — it launched at $1,799 for the 65-inch model, far above similarly-specced TVs from Hisense and TCL. But with the Panasonic W95A now at an all-time low of $479 for its 55-inch model (and a whopping $797 for its 75-inch model), there's really no reason to ignore it. For gamers, it offers everything you could ask for in a 144Hz refresh rate, AMD Freesync Premium, and cloud streaming platforms through Fire TV. The downside? It only has two HDMI 2.1 ports and a relatively high input latency of 13.7ms. While we do like to see this number under 10ms, this is mostly fine for the average gamer, and its picture performance (especially in HDR) make up for these setbacks. Released in 2024, the new Panasonic W95A is a real looker. It leverages a 144Hz refresh rate on a design that features two HDMI 2.1 ports and AMD FreeSync compatibility. It also comes equipped with the range of HDR certifications and it even has an ATSC 3.0 tuner so you're NextGenTV ready. 55" @ $47965" @ $597 Despite releasing nearly three years ago, the Sony Bravia XR A95L still remains one of the best gaming TVs — if not one of the best TVs, bar none. This year it's being replaced with the Bravia 8 II OLED, which has some incredible test results already. But there's still life left in the A95L, largely as its price dips with age. In our Sony Bravia A95L OLED review, we highlighted three main aspects that set it apart from most of its rivals: gorgeous picture quality, wide HDR color gamut, and bombastic sound. At the time, these pros made it highly attractive and, while you might find some TVs a bit more appealing today in the Mini-LED camp, it still remains the high-end gaming OLED to beat. Unlike the C5, however, you will have to contend with just two HDMI 2.1 ports and a max 120Hz refresh rate. The former should be more than adequate, especially with modern consoles topping out at 4K/120 anyway. Plus, the A95L has some PS5 exclusive features, like Auto HDR tone mapping and Auto Genre mode. You can get it at its lowest price right now, and while the Bravia 8 II might be replacing it this year, the A95L will still remain the top-of-the-line Sony OLED with its 77-inch configuration carrying over into 2025 and beyond. The Sony Bravia A95L is a QD-OLED TV that excels with every kind of content, every time. In our Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED TV review we said the Editor's Choice TV offers superlative picture and top-notch sound. 65" for $2,69877" for $4,798 As far as Mini-LED TVs go, the Hisense U8QG is one of the best releases this year (so far). It's dropped in price dramatically since launch and is equipped with a string of awesome gaming features. Best of all, it's at an unbeatable price of just $1,279 for its 65-inch model. The U8QG was a great TV to have while I reviewed Death Stranding 2. They matched up perfectly, letting me test out this Mini-LED TV's 9.7ms if input latency in tandem with its bonkers brightness. It's also one of the few affordable TVs this year that comes with a 165Hz refresh rate — though it's highly unlikely you'll ever need this much power unless you're running one of the best gaming PCs. It's also got an incredible sound system, too. I never needed to raise the volume higher than 35 in my review of the U8QG. That's owed largely to its bombastic 72W of power output and 20W subwoofer, a rarity on most conventional TVs. The U8QG only offers three HDMI 2.1 ports, sadly. It drops the fourth port in favor of using a USB-C input for video output and charging, which is a neat add, but would make more sense if you had four total HDMI ports with the USB-C. It's not everyday you see a brand-new 2025 model getting a major discount on the heels of its release, but the U8QG is a trendsetter in this regard (and many more). It's bound to be among our favorite gaming TVs this year thanks to its slew of gaming features and its 165Hz refresh rate. 75" @ $1,898100" @ $4,498 It's no secret that the Panasonic Z95A is one of my favorite OLED TVs. It ticks a lot of the boxes when it comes to gaming; OLED panel, incredible color volume, high brightness, both screen tearing technologies (G-Sync and FreeSync), and a fully in-depth gaming menu. But of all the things that makes the Panasonic Z95A stand out, its audio is the strongest. TV speakers are often fairly flimsy to bring down costs and save more room on the TV chassis. But Panasonic went above and beyond with its 2024 flagship OLED, outfitting it with a 160W 5.1.2-channel speaker for incredible audio performance. And it doesn't stop there, as Panasonic's Sound Focus feature lets you fine-tune the audio in a variety of ways. One setting is called Area, which allows you to customize the audio output in a 120 degree axis, and Pinpoint can (as the name suggests) pinpoint the sound to a particular area in the room. This was one of my favorite features to test while gaming on the Panasonic Z95A. You can customize the audio to specific genres, making them feel more immersive, and the Z95A's in-depth game menu lets you make tons of changes on the fly. The biggest issues here are its reliance on the Fire TV ecosystem, as well as its relatively high input latency of 12.6ms. We like to see that number below 10ms, but generally anything under 16ms is more than adequate. It's also only available in 65-inch and still pretty expensive, but at least it's dropped to under $2,000 since its debut last year. The Panasonic Z95A is an exceptional OLED TV that wrangles together some of the most advanced specs in the space yet. It commands a 160W speaker Dolby Atmos system and a 144Hz refresh on LG Display's MLA panel. It also comes equipped with the range of HDR formats and while it might only have two HDMI 2.1 ports, it does have a sophisticated gaming dashboard, which allows you to change settings on the fly.
