LG G5 Series OLED83G5WUA 83"
85 out of 100 medium confidence 24 reviews
The LG G5 83" OLED TV receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its stunning picture quality, deep blacks, vibrant colors, and excellent brightness even in bright rooms. Users praise its immersive size, sleek design, and effective glare control, with many calling it a significant upgrade over previous OLED models. However, a few reviewers note that the software can be buggy, with issues like a persistent "No Signal" message, and the TV's weight makes wall mounting difficult. The built-in sound is considered average, but overall, the TV is highly recommended for its visual performance.
