The LG G5 and M5 OLED TVs aim for better gaming and picture quality
LG introduced at CES 2025 two high-end OLED TVs — the G5 and the wireless M5 — that promise improved brightness and better color performance.
The two 4K TVs, which feature the same panels, feature the company’s Brightness Booster Ultimate, which is 20 percent brighter than the company’s B4 television. They also include the Alpha 11 AI processor and LG says the Perfect Color technology on the screens will provide more consistent color and they are rated Perfect Black by the UL certification company.
The M5 features Zero Connect Box with “no visual loss” wireless connection and support for gaming consoles at 4K/144Hz. It’s worth noting that the M5 isn’t completely wireless – it still needs to be connected to power. In contrast, Move the TValso on display at CES, uses a rechargeable battery. The G5, meanwhile, is capable of up to 165Hz, and LG says it’s the first TV certified for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.
The TVs support Filmmaker mode with ambient light compensation, which adapts the picture according to the lighting conditions in the room. The screens also offer a number of AI features, including an AI chatbot to troubleshoot TV issues and improve the picture; AI-based content search; and AI-generated art. There’s even an AI remote.
The G5 and M5 announcement follows presence of transparent OLED Twhich sells for a cool $60,000. While the new TVs won’t reach those stratospheric prices, you can still expect them to cost upwards of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. The LG OLED G4 had the best picture of any TV we tested in 2024, and the improvements listed suggest the G5 could be even better.
