LG 65-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K G5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10, AI Super Upscaling 4K, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED65G5WUA, 2025)

I had my Roku set up for my older tv. Tv finally died on me, so this one was pretty much plug and play. Including using my old Vespa Universal TV mount. Sound bar and everything immediately synced in. With that being said I just had to tweak new settings to kids, so my child doesn't have problems from the TV being too bright. The package came in another box layered on top of the store-bought box. Inside the box is a layer of thick Styrofoam and hard air cushioned plastic corners with an easy to life off box as the bottom is already open somewhat. So, this TV opens somewhat like a matchbox, be mindful you may want help as you don't want the tv to fall over. I learned the hard way upon opening that the TV did not have an included TV stand. Lucky for me, my old dead TV had a universal TV mount. Easy unscrew and screw on due to my old TV mount being a universal mount for certain sizes. The visual on this TV after I set it up to just scan and some random option to play settings to bypass color and brightness to a universal setting was marvelous. The Netflix series the Witcher preview was one of the first things I saw, which was a lot of black mixed in with lightning. It is very hard to see a black monster, in black water in a black background, but I was able to see every feature with astounding clarity. That being said this TV made older sourced movies and shows seem somewhat 3d rendered as the images that focus up front stood out more as if getting that mirage feel from a portrait. I have been playing games for more than two decades and sitting in front of a 4k monitor so looking at a lesser quality tv due to certain DPI modes and settings stands out to me. That being said, issues of blooming does appear on this TV but it is so rare and infrequent that you may not even notice unless someone points it out to you or you specifically look for it. In Dr. Sleep, there is a brief image of light going through a window, the blooming occurred on the edge of a window ledge that stood out too uniformed. Which in all fairness you can see this on an IPHONE 16 pro picture on some people's hairs. So, the best way to say this, is that if you like your high-quality images on an IPHONE 16 or similar camera pixel, this is what you are looking at for your TV shows for this quality of TV. I am still astounded that this TV literally makes images look somewhat 3d without glasses. I have seen the LG C5 version in Cosco. I cannot vouch the same crisp image as I can for my iPhone on the C5. But do keep in mind source images matter and I don't think some people realize they should see the TV at the start of when it got turned on and 12 hours later running constantly. You may be surprised that some TVs will begin to stutter. Which may ruin your TV binging. Gotta love the thin bezel. Almost see pure screen like the old Plasma days. That being said, I believe this is akin to a Plasma TV, except much lighter in weight. Notes. TV Vesa table mounting was easy. I am using and have been using 8k HDMI cables. Which is good for multiple things but mainly for sound and video quality as my TV is connected to a LG soundbar which pretty much connects plug and play on this tv. Look for a deal on 8K and set it and forget it to get maximum quality and possibly zero chance of data stuttering. A 55 to a 65 inch gains a reported 40 percent more tv volume space. Be mindful of seller's choice of vendor as Fed Ex did not call to set up an appointment for me. You will need to have a Vesa universal tv mount ready for this if you decide to put the tv on a table as it only comes with the wall mount attachment.

Upgraded from 4K to this beautiful OLED. It is beautiful. The rich colors and clear picture leave you wondering if anything could ever be better. The UI is okay but I prefer to use Apple TV. Integrates well with Apple TV and Sound system. Make sure to use HDMI 2.1 wires (as opposed to HDMI 2.0 or Infrared). Use the CEC/ARC port and route your Apple TV to the receiver and then to the TV in the CEC/ARC ports on each so you can turn them all on or off or change volume. It does not come with a TV stand. That is an extra $100. The TV can be as bright as you want with its 4 layers of OLEDs unique to the G product line. That brightness is what differentiates this TV from others. Some complain the remote is awkwardly designed. For example input change requires holding down power button. Up down are up down levers rather than buttons. Just use your Apple TV remote.

Fantastic TV just please note for reasons unknown despite its expense it does not come with a stand only mounting brackets which makes no sense because I've bought different versions of this exact type of TV twice in the past and those two came with a stand the mounting brackets are a separate purchase but this TV's got it backwards you can purchase this then on LG's website however it's not available in the states yet however there is an alternative stand you can buy on Amazon which in my opinion is way better than the stands that came with either of my last two OLED LG TVs. So aside from that issue the USB ports are very fast compared to the last models. The game optimizer is awesome the sound is way better than any previous model I've had. Please note I can't remember my previous model numbers all I can tell you is I had the 2015 OLED 65 inch class which I believe was a C tier and a 2020 65 in class which was either a c or d tier. The the audio is also very nice and the AI features for both the audio and the video is also very nice especially compared to the aforementioned models. One thing to be aware of now I've only had this happen on my Xbox One series X but that doesn't mean it won't happen on other consoles as well once in awhile upon switching from a game to the home menu or simply starting a game your TV will lose the input it happens on this model and the last two models I had I don't think LG knows how to fix it cuz all my TVs are always updated all the time I have sex over that and the issue persisted across all three models I never figured out any definite way of reproducing it other than it's a random occurrence depending on what setting you have your TV no input settings set to you'll either get a black screen or no input screen I'm not sure why this happens but the only way to fix it is to attempt to go back to the home menu or go back into the game by blindly hitting buttons on the controller.
