What reviewers say
The LG C5 is a versatile OLED TV that excels in dark rooms with perfect black levels and vivid colors, while still maintaining good image quality when lights are on. It offers sufficient brightness to handle glare from indirect light sources but struggles more with direct lighting. The model comes equipped with modern gaming features such as HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four ports for up to 4K @ 144Hz gaming with VRR, Dolby Vision HDR support, and a wide viewing angle that makes it suitable for group viewing.

The Digital Trends review praises the LG C5 OLED for its stunning image quality, ultra‑thin design, and accurate colors while noting drawbacks such as a dark HDR performance, a subpar remote, and a sluggish webOS interface.

The Tech‑Logie review calls the LG C5 65″ OLED evo AI TV "the best overall TV experience" for 2025, praising its perfect blacks, AI‑enhanced upscaling, gaming performance and Dolby Atmos audio while noting it isn’t as bright as top QLEDs, has a risk of burn‑in with static content, and its built‑in speakers are average.

PCMag praises the LG Evo C5 as a visually stunning OLED TV that delivers vivid, accurate colors and excellent contrast while offering a sleek design and a rich feature set—all at a more affordable price than similarly equipped competitors. The review highlights its strong performance in color accuracy and detail, but notes limitations such as lower brightness for an OLED and lack of ATSC 3.0 support.
www.pcmag.com ↗The LG C5 is a mid‑range OLED TV that delivers excellent picture quality with perfect blacks and accurate colors, enhanced brightness through Brightness Booster, and strong gaming performance thanks to a native 120 Hz panel, VRR up to 144 Hz, low input lag (~9 ms), and four HDMI 2.1 ports. It runs webOS 25 with AI‑powered features such as LLM search, Microsoft Copilot integration, and an AI Magic Remote. While its built‑in audio is adequate but not outstanding and it lacks DTS support, the C5 offers a compelling balance of performance, gaming readiness, and value across a wide range of screen sizes.

It notes the panel’s brightness is modest compared to flagship models but adequate for most rooms, and that built‑in audio is decent though a soundbar is recommended for better sound. Overall, the reviewer recommends the C5 as the best value mid‑range OLED TV.

Our take
Based on 7 reviews
All 7 reviews agree the LG C5 OLED delivers perfect black levels and vivid, accurate colors, making it a strong choice for dark-room viewing. Reviewers consistently highlight its gaming readiness, citing 144Hz refresh rates, VRR support, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. The AI-powered features, including the Magic Remote and webOS 25, are also widely praised as useful additions to the overall experience.
However, reviewers split on brightness and audio. While TechRadar and PCMag note the panel’s brightness is modest compared to QLEDs, Digital Trends calls HDR performance dark, whereas RTINGS finds it sufficient for indirect light. Audio is consistently described as average or adequate, with reviewers recommending a soundbar for better immersion. Buyers prioritizing peak brightness or built-in audio should look elsewhere, but those seeking a balanced OLED for gaming and movies will find it compelling.
Pros
- Perfect black levels and vivid colors
- 144Hz gaming with VRR and four HDMI 2.1 ports
- AI-powered features and Magic Remote
- Strong value for a mid-range OLED
Cons
- Modest brightness compared to QLEDs
- Average built-in audio performance
- Sluggish webOS interface reported by one outlet
Best for: Gamers and movie watchers seeking a balanced OLED with strong AI features should buy it; those needing peak brightness or premium built-in audio should look elsewhere.
