LG G5 (OLED65G5)

LG's latest flagship OLED TV aims to dazzle with its next-gen OLED panel

- 

After just two years in the sun, MLA OLED technology has been consigned to the tech graveyard. In its place, we have the far more unhelpfully named Primary RGB Tandem OLED, which is also known (again, unhelpfully) as Four-Stack OLED.

The LG G5 is the very first Primary RGB Tandem OLED TV to enter our test rooms and, to cut a long story short, any complaints about how much of a mouthful the names of the technology are no longer seem relevant in the face of the picture improvements it brings.

An initial issue with the way it handled streamed Dolby Vision content has now been fixed via a software update, and we can finally be as positive about the LG G5 as we always wanted to be. This is a stunning television and a surprising leap forward for OLED TV technology.

The LG G5 is a flagship-level 4K OLED TV, with a premium price tag of £3299 for the 65in model that we have here. Much like the G4, it also comes in screen sizes of 55, 65, 77, 83, and 97 inches. This year, though, LG has expanded the lineup with a 48in model for the first time. The good news is that the G5 is priced almost identically to the outgoing G4. More interesting and important is how the LG G5's pricing compares with that of its 2025 rivals, the Samsung S95F, Sony Bravia 8 II and Panasonic Z95B.

We don't yet have any 2025 Panasonic TV prices, but the Samsung S95F is a touch cheaper than the LG G5 in the US (we don't yet have Samsung's UK pricing).

In the UK, the Sony Bravia 8 II is slightly more expensive than the LG G5 at 55in but a fair bit cheaper at 65 inches.

Much like its C5 sibling, the G5 carries forth the design from its predecessor - no great shame as we approved of the G4's sleek and attractive build.
