42-Inch Class OLED evo AI Super Upscaling 4K C5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos & Vision, HDR10, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED42C5PUA, 2025)

I really like this TV so far. Even though I use a sound bar the built-in speakers on this thing are actually pretty impressive. The remote is a bit different but I honestly love it. It has a scroll wheel and you can use it almost like a Wii remote which feels so intuitive that going back to a standard remote is going to be tough. My only gripe is that they replaced some of the standard button icons with their own symbols which makes things a little confusing. For example you have to hold down a specific button for a few seconds just to find the input menu. If they kept the Wii functionality and the scroll wheel but used more traditional buttons this remote would be perfect. The build quality seems solid. To be honest I am coming from a QLED and the picture hasn't completely blown me away yet. However the 144Hz refresh rate is awesome and the price was definitely right.

My FIRST tv purchase was in 2007 at Target. It was a 32in flatscreen Sony and it was a display so I got it on discount. After 19yrs I finally decided to invest on the latest and the best tv there is. With extensive research on Google/YouTube especially between the LG and Samsung OLED, The LG OLED EVO AI C5series 65in IS IT👍! It is pure entertainment at the highest quality possible. Very easy to set up. Picture quality looks unbelievably real no matter what picture mode you choose. The remote control is quite small but simple and straightforward not too many buttons, though I’m not crazy about the tiny ball roll button in the middle but I digress. Hope this will last me another 19yrs or more.

I love this TV! I bought the TV for gaming and movies. I hooked it up to a PlayStation 5 Pro and the image is amazing. The higher refresh rate and AI made such a huge difference to my last LG OLED 65”. Loved that this came in 77”, fits my area perfectly. Easy to set up and install. Remote is intuitive and the LG app works well for saving my favorite streaming services. My father bought one a week after he saw mine. He was so impressed by it. Highly recommend.

I think I'd actually rate this at 4.8 stars, but that's not an option. This TV is replacing an LG OLED C9, which I bought in 2018 or so. The C9 finally suffered from either burn-in or worn-out pixels, not sure which. Got some blue tint near the bottom of the screen and the color distortion spread up about a fourth of the way in the middle. Not terrible. I watched it for a few months with this and it didn't bother me a great deal. For the price you pay for this 2025 set in 2026? The C5 is more than worth it. Chose a picture mode, but then found I couldn't adjust tint and color in that mode. Went to the "standard" mode and then I could. I found I had to lesson the color and adjust the tint to get the color on facial images right. Keep in mind that different sources may need different settings. The remote, though fairly intuitive, takes some getting used to, but it didn't take all that long to figure out how to make the adjustments with it. Had to go online to figure out why "color" was grayed out in other modes. As for sound, I have my TV hooked up to my audio system with HDMI. I only like listening to the audio system (7.1 surround) when listening to music or watching a movie. Otherwise, I prefer the TV sound. You can choose the TV sound you like, but be aware that different choices limit the volume range. I tried them all, but found that the one that worked best for me was the "sports" mode. Simply allowed me to get the volume and clarity I need for voices. The TV sound is more than adequate and considering the TV is only 1.8 inches at its widest, the speakers are pretty decent. Final comments? The colors pop a little more than on the older LG, but, truthfully, I wouldn't have replaced the older TV if I hadn't had the color distortion. I don't notice any difference in resolution. OLED technology simply produces the best picture in my opinion and picture quality has remained pretty much the same over the years.

Man, I was SOOOO skeptical about this TV - I am using it as a work and gaming monitor But 2 days in, the blacks are amazing, the colors are so much more than the widescreen 5120x1440 QLED Samsung I was running before - gave it to my son. Love being able to move tabs around and the sound is amazing, no need for an add-on amp in this usage My one off star is the remote, I HATE the magic remote, IMO Vizio and Roku have better remotes. The fact it forces you to the magic pointer - and there's no way to turn it off- first is BS at this price point Otherwise great TV if you don't care about these other issues 144hz at 4K is beyond cool!

I’ve been using the LG 65” OLED evo C5 mainly for PS5 gaming, and it’s honestly a huge upgrade. The picture quality is incredible deep blacks, super vibrant colors, and amazing contrast that really makes games feel immersive. The motion is extremely smooth, and everything feels very responsive, especially with fast-paced games.

A word to the wise...take EVERYTHING out of the box. ALL the styrofoam. I spent a week thinking I had not received a remote control or all of the stand. It was taped to the bottom area of the bottom piece of styrofoam. I realized this when I went to break down the box for recycling. I LOVE the TV. The remote control is a little challenging at first it takes a little getting used to, but I love it now. My first OLED TV and now I understand all the hype. It's a beautiful, clear, vibrant screen. The price was decent. I definitely recommend. Finding all the "missing" pieces I had been so angry about was in the end...hilarious.

I upgraded to the 77” LG C5 from a TCL R646 and it completely changed how I watch TV. I knew it would be good, but I honestly didn’t expect this big of a difference. The first thing that stands out is the picture quality. The blacks are truly black (not that grayish look you get with LED TVs), and the contrast makes everything pop. Movies look incredible—especially anything in Dolby Vision. It really feels like a theater experience at home. Brightness was something I was a little concerned about with OLED, but this model handles it really well. Even during the day, the picture is clear and vibrant. At night, it looks absolutely insane. The size is perfect for a living room setup. 77 inches sounds big (and it is), but once you get used to it, it just feels right—especially for movies and sports. Another thing I noticed is how smooth everything looks. Whether it’s streaming, sports, or gaming, there’s no blur or lag. If you game at all, this TV is awesome for it. Setup was straightforward, and the smart interface is fast and easy to use. Everything loaded quickly and connected without any issues. Only minor downside is the built-in sound is just okay—but that’s expected. Pair it with a soundbar and you’re set. Overall, this feels like a premium product in every way. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it—it’s one of those purchases you won’t regret.
