LG OLED evo G5 97"
The Brightness Booster Max technology in this 97-inch OLED evo panel delivers luminous detail that holds up even in brightly lit rooms, a key differentiator for large-screen OLEDs. The bundled 7.1.3-channel soundbar with wireless rear speakers creates a full Dolby Atmos surround system without the clutter of a separate receiver. This massive display and audio bundle is best for home theater enthusiasts who want a cinema-scale experience in a mixed-light living space.
