"LG has made a variety of improvements to this generation of panels, and it really shows in the numbers. It's one of the brightest screens we've tested, with only one major competitor, the Sony Bravia 9 QLED beating it in terms of raw brightness. That means top-tier HDR performance, without some of the compromises you usually make for QLED screens to reach that brightness."
"The colors are excellent as well, bringing life to the deep greens and blues that some TVs can struggle with. They do just as well catching the clothing of your favorite sitcom stars as they do expressing the explosions and crashes of action movies. The processing and upscaling are top-notch as well, in case not all of your media is coming from the best source."
"The only real catch here is the streaming interface, an upgraded version of LG's WebOS, which doesn't quite hold up to the simplicity and performance of other options like Google TV. The remote is also slightly confusing, lacking some basic functions like a mute key or input key, both of which require other key press combinations. The good news here is if it really bothers you, you can always switch to a dedicated streaming box."
The LG G5 OLED 65-inch is discounted to just under $2,000, a $500 reduction from its usual price. Panel improvements produce one of the brightest screens tested, with only the Sony Bravia 9 QLED exceeding its raw brightness. High brightness enables top-tier HDR performance without common QLED compromises. Color reproduction is excellent, rendering deep greens and blues faithfully and delivering vivid clothing tones and explosive action scenes. Processing and upscaling are strong for lower-quality sources. Combined brightness and color yield stunning visuals across movie genres. The upgraded WebOS streaming interface is less simple and performant than competitors, and the remote lacks direct mute and input keys.
