LG 97-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K G5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10, AI Super Upscaling 4K, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED97G5WUA, 2025)

Despite initial reservations regarding the substantial investment required for this set, I have been thoroughly impressed by its performance, surpassing my expectations significantly. The majority of the concerns raised were resolved through a firmware update. The visual quality is exceptional, with an impressive brightness levels. The inclusion of four HDMI 2.1 ports is a significant advantage, as it enables seamless connectivity with my gaming consoles and streaming devices. Furthermore, the provided slim wall mount contributes to a clean and minimalist aesthetic, enhancing the overall setup. The G5 is hands down the best TV I’ve owned personally.

I've been a huge fan of OLED tech and their black levels for a long time now, and it's really a gift that keeps giving, which is even more so for gamers. With this model, I think we may be within perfection, with an uptick in the boldness of the picture and the feature set. I essentially use this as my monitor for my PC that I use as a home theater, and I think with this and recent models we are in a sweet spot, because it seems to actually link up with the graphics card to have very high framerates/refresh rates (60 frames is a luxury, 120fps is extreme luxury, and it seems this is ready for up to 165fps which is crazy) as well as features to keep things synced up with changing framerates from games. Turn on the game optimization in the settings, and you can instantly see your frame rate and various features from your graphics card, very cool.Also, some people were freaking out about Dolby Vision having some bug to patch, well, Dolby Vision appears to now be a feature of Windows HDR, and it's working great for me. HDR in games is really, really special now, so definitely enable that where you can, this screen will do it justice to say the least.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE 5/28/2025ISSUES ARE STILL NOT FIXED! OVER ONE MONTH LATER!DESPICABLE LG!THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME BACK AFTER SERVICE COMPLAINT EITHER!STAY FAR AWAY IF YOU LIKE QUALITY AND REFERENCE SETTINGS!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Don't buy until issues are resolved.I'm super bummed. I was really excited to upgrade from a 77G1 to this panel but it still had so many issues I'll have to return if they don't fix.They pushed out a firmware update that improved Dolby Vision near black posterization and color banding but they have not fixed the same issue on HDR10.It looks like total slop near black on any HDR10 content. Streamed or physical.Especially compared to my previous 77G1 and 77C9 and 55E6. Generations older, and this is worse.Video attached showing the issue in gaming.Pictures attached with G5 on top vs competing Samsung OLED below in HDR10 content.Inexcusable for the price.

Love it. Works great, makes people look almost 3D on top quality streaming movies. Black color is perfectly black in scenes, etc., etc. I knew it didn't come with a stand, so I ordered the "ECHOGEAR Universal Large TV Stand - Height Adjustable Base for TVs up to 77" - Wobble-Free Replacement Stand Works w/Any TV Including Vizio, TCL, Samsung & More - Flat Design Compatible w/Soundbars" which works great.

Amazing picture, easy setup, solid build and did I say amazing picture already? Recently upgraded from a 2019 65' LG Oled to the 77' G5 and what a difference a few years in tech advancement can make. The biggest drawback for the TV is its cost, but I keep my sets for at least 5 to 6 years until new technology can come out. Highly recommend this TV.

I seriously hesitated on this purchase because of the price. But, I did a lot of research and this was almost always the top rated tv model for 2025 so I gave in and bought it. WOW. I can’t even describe how vivid the picture is. Absolutely gorgeous! Same with the sound. All the bells and whistles are great - like a mouse with point and click to select what you want or to do app searches with.Overall great product and I definitely recommend it. No regrets on the purchase at all but I still think it was a lot to pay for a TV. If you can afford it, definitely go for it.

I figured LG's "flagship" tv would include a tv stand. Sort of how they include things like a power cord, or the remote control for the tv. They do not. The only included way to install out of the box is wall mount. Oh they do sell a stand separately (or will at some point apparently since at the time of writing of this review it's not available 🙃 [part #sa-g5sn55]), but feels pretty lame to not have the stand available to be purchased, or included in the box.

The first LG 65” G5 did not turn on. (Motherboard issue). 2nd tv is fantastic. Awesome And Best OLED ever
