Enhanced Brightness and Color Performance

This technology delivers a 40% increase in full-screen brightness over its predecessor, the G4. This enhancement results in more vibrant and lifelike images.

The reviewers have measured 2500 nits of peak brightness on 10% window, which is a significant upgrade over the last year’s G4.

Gaming Capabilities

Designed with gamers in mind, the G5 supports HDMI 2.1, offers a 165Hz refresh rate, and is compatible with both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. These features contribute to a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.

Design and User Interface

While the G5 maintains a design similar to its predecessor, it introduces new AI-driven features that enhance image and audio customization. However, some reviewers have noted that the remote control design feels somewhat dated compared to competitors.

Audio Performance

The TV’s built-in speakers are consistent with the previous generation, offering satisfactory audio quality. As always, pairing the G5 with an external sound system is recommended for an enhanced auditory experience.

Comparison with Competitors

In side-by-side comparisons, the LG G5 has demonstrated superior performance against other leading OLED TVs, such as the Samsung S95F and its predecessor, the LG G4. These tests highlight the G5’s advancements mainly in picture quality, while user interface, connectivity and audio quality remain on the same level.
