What Buyers Say
LG OLED evo G5 Series OLED97G5WUA 97"
88 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The LG G5 OLED is widely praised for its stunning picture quality, bright screen, and excellent contrast, with many users noting a significant reduction in reflections compared to previous models. However, a major recurring complaint is that the TV does not include a stand, forcing buyers to purchase one separately at additional cost. Verified reviewers highlight the thin design, easy wall mounting, and seamless integration with external devices like Apple TV and soundbars. Overall, the G5 is considered a top-tier upgrade, especially for those upgrading from older OLEDs like the C1.
