De feiten
Performance
The display numbers are the headline here. This thing sits in the 92nd percentile for display quality, which puts it among the best panels we've tracked. Brightness Booster Max is not marketing fluff, it genuinely pushes this OLED brighter than previous G-series models. The audio setup is also a standout at the 89th percentile, with that 3.1.3 channel configuration and the up-firing center channel doing real work for dialogue clarity. But then you hit the smart platform at the 37th percentile and gaming at the 17th, and the whole thing feels lopsided. You're buying a phenomenal screen attached to a mediocre brain.

vs Competition
The Samsung Neo QLED QN990F and Sony BRAVIA XR XR77A95L are the two competitors that matter here. The Sony gives you better picture quality and HDR handling, though you'll pay more for it. The Samsung QN990F is the smarter buy if you game or need better connectivity, and it's not far behind on brightness. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 are the budget alternatives that get you 80% of the way there for a lot less money. Against all of them, the G5's main argument is that OLED brightness and the audio setup. If those aren't your top two priorities, look elsewhere.

Prijs
Value & Pricing
At $3,397 USD, this is a serious investment. You're paying for the panel and the audio, and those are genuinely excellent. But when a TV at this price has connectivity in the 6th percentile and gaming in the 17th, you have to ask where the money went. If you're a movie buff who wants the brightest OLED in a bright room, it's worth it. If you're a gamer or someone who plugs in multiple devices, you're overpaying for features you won't get.

Overview
The LG OLED evo G5 is a brightness monster with a split personality. The panel itself is stunning, sitting in the 92nd percentile for display quality in our database. But the smart platform and gaming features feel like an afterthought, which is weird for a 2025 flagship. If you want the brightest OLED LG has ever made, this is it. Just know you're paying a premium for the panel, not the whole package.
Common Questions
Q: Is the LG G5 good for gaming?
Honestly, no. It sits in the 17th percentile for gaming in our database. The panel looks great, but the feature set for gamers is thin. If gaming is your main use, get the Samsung QN990F instead.
Q: Does the G5 work well in a bright room?
Yes, this is one of the G5's biggest strengths. It's UL verified for discomfort glare free, and the Brightness Booster Max tech genuinely helps. You can watch this in a sunny living room without squinting.
Q: Is the built-in audio good enough without a soundbar?
For most people, yes. The 3.1.3 channel setup with the up-firing center is genuinely impressive for built-in TV audio. Dialogue is clear and the soundstage is wider than you'd expect. You can skip the soundbar unless you're a serious home theater person.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a gamer, skip this. The gaming features are in the 17th percentile and the connectivity is nearly dead last. Go get the Samsung QN990F or a Sony A95L instead. If you're on a budget, the TCL QM8K gets you close enough for a lot less money.
Verdict
The LG OLED evo G5 is a fantastic panel trapped in a mediocre TV. If you want the brightest OLED on the market and you mostly watch movies and sports in a bright room, buy it and don't look back. If you game, need multiple HDMI 2.1 ports, or want a smart platform that doesn't feel like it's from 2019, the Samsung QN990F or Sony A95L are better choices. This is a niche product for a specific buyer, and that buyer will love it.
