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.

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.
