LG 77-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K C5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10, AI Super Upscaling 4K, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED77C5PUA, 2025)

High quality OLED. Brilliant picture. Although the sound is adequate, to complement the high quality picture, I would strongly suggest adding a sound bar. Very easy to set up, and user friendly remote control.

The media could not be loaded. Why did you pick this product vs others?:I like it a lot better than my Samsung TV that it replaced. My PS5 looks amazing on it. Currently playing armored core 6 and the visuals are outstanding. Set up was pretty user-friendly. Sound is a lot better than most. You get what you pay for and this TV isn’t cheap but it’s definitely quality. 5 stars from me

Junk! I think we got a bad TV. It cost us $105.00 to send it back. Never again! HDMI connection issues even with 3 brand new HDMI cables. It would on see on device at a time. You’d have to keep unplugging and plugging in whatever HDMI you wanted to use at the time. Total hassle.

Comparison: My new LG 4K Smart OLED TV (OLED55C5PUA, 2025) vs my old LG 4K Smart OLED TV (OLED55CXPUA, 2020)Sources Used: Sony UBP-X700 4K Ultra HD Player (October 2024) and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.Connectors: Zeskit Maya 8K 48Gbps Certified Ultra High-Speed HDMI Cable 16ft CL3 In-Wall RatedRemote Control Solution: As others rightly indicate, the new remote that comes with this TV is not up to the tasks required. I ended up using the remote that came with the previous version of this TV - the "LG Remote Magic Remote Control" (AKB75855501) - which is available on Amazon.LG TV's UNIQUE STANDOUTS SUMMARY- "Nightmare Alley" (2021, 4K, Guillermo del Toro) joins perfect details and colors to allow the genre's nihilism free rein.- "Pinocchio" (2022, 4K, Guillermo del Toro), a brilliantly filmed, very dark stop-motion animated film that hits every button (Note: not for young children).- "TRON: Legacy" (2010, 2K upscaled to 4K, Joseph Kosinski) is everything a gorgeous Sci-Fi drama - with stellar soundtrack - should be thanks to LG and Disney.(DETAILED EVALUATIONS BELOW)Preface: All my viewing was in HDR mode for 4k. I used the movies listed below, all of which benefitted from excellent motion smoothing, without awful sheen/glow, when rendered using moderate level of this TV's Black Frame Insertion (BFI) in Game Mode and a touch of extra brightness. Bright or dark room did not matter. (See bottom of page for comments on 2K SDR/Regular Blu-ray.)THE HOBBIT - THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (48fps): If you hated the 48fps of The Hobbit, your troubles are over! Watch this movie with correct BFI and generally accepted parameters for Game Mode on this TV. Then the natural appearance of everything in this movie will bowl you over. Faces are normal. The spiders of Mirkwood show markings that are easier to see and have colors that make sense on those horrid creatures. Seeing the etching on Smaug's hide (without the sheen) is worth every penny.STAR WARS (2020 UHD Release)(24fps): The movie is fun and impressive to watch given how old it is. The color and lighting are very good. Its sheen was tamed very well on this TV, and scenes filmed outdoors were very natural. (When I watched this movie on my previous LG TV - the OLED55CXPUA, 2020 - I was distracted by the less manageable sheen/glow.)DUNE, PARTS 1 and 2:- (Dune1, 24fps) The abundance of sand colors and sunlight make the DUNE movies bright overall. Beautiful browns in their various shades are a treat. In the midst of all that brown, you should notice subtle dark shades of green on clothing, and quilt-like stitching on the jackets. Facial features are beautifully rendered. The Bene Gesserit ship passing through and out of The Spacing Guild's Heighliner (at 20m:50s) and the Worm Spotter aircraft's flight (at 1h:01m:50s) should not break up in their movements across the screen. In the battle scenes when the Harkonnen invade, you should see no tearing or empty space in the rolling flames.- (Dune2, 24fps/48fps) It took almost the entire movie for me to register that there was no lag or choppiness in Dune Part 2 at all... none (at least with BFI engaged). Turns out Dune Part 2 occasionally used 48fps in some places instead of 24fps only, an approach that worked almost magically. It now takes 1st place as the best all-around film in my collection.BLADE RUNNER 2049 (24fps): The BFI nailed the surrounding colors and movement of K's police vehicle as it passed behind buildings. The vehicle's movement was smooth and the snow/rain contrails moving over and past the back of the vehicle were easy to pick out. Colors were incredibly detailed and vibrant at every turn.1917 (24fps): This movie benefits enormously from BFI and reduces the number of "jittery" scenes to two: 1) the stuttering movement as the camera views an embankment and pans left to right just after the two soldiers narrowly escape the collapsing tunnels, and 2) the panning left to right as the two soldiers are in a barn looking through wood slats at a plane in the distance.OBLIVION (24fps): I've watched this movie many times and this LG TV brought out colors better than the previous LG. The motions were very smooth and details abounded. Things to look for are Vicca's tears running down her face and off her nose as she betrays Jack, and the flickering lights when Julia and the hapless people are in the sights of the drone programmed to kill them (the flickering lights should not tear or have holes).FORD v FERRARI (24fps): The most interesting and exciting (and perpetual) visual experience I had with this movie was the heightened detail seen on clothing I don't recall seeing on the previous TV. But most of all the colors of red and brown in their various shades were able to make me fall further into the movie as everything seemed so very natural.THE PRESTIGE (24fps): This is a very detailed movie where the differing shades of brown are everywhere. Especially look for the brown variants (and other colors) in the weave of the tweed coats, especially prominent near the end of the movie.GEMINI MAN (60fps): I know what you're thinking: this movie is intolerable for its irremediable sheen/glow. You're right. It's also too intimate: it's as close to "being there" than I could tolerate... feels creepy, like eavesdropping. I played this all the way through again but came away with no changed opinions, except for very slightly better colors all 'round. HOWEVER, the climax near the end of the movie is visceral in how it renders the minigun being used to shred the store where the heroes are sheltering. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING, I must say that one of the most impressive demonstrations of BFI motion smoothing is how, in the opening scene, the filmmaker was able to sweep the camera across the ribbed structure above the train station and not induce seizures. (On the other hand, you might want seizure medicine handy if you try to view that panned ribbed structure with no BFI enabled.) On the whole, its motion smoothing and details are absolutely amazing.Regarding 2K SDR (i.e., regular Blu-ray), my results were either very good or very poor. For instance, the original releases of Avatar, Total Recall (2012), and The Imitation Game rendered outstanding results. On the other hand, The Last Samurai and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows were a disappointment. While the upscaling and motion smoothing were excellent on all these 2K movies, the Last Samurai and Sherlock Holmes renderings were too dark or dull, foggy, and wispy. The previous model of this same TV (OLED55CXPUA, 2020) did not have such challenges and disparities.As I write this, I notice the screen's gradual dimmer is working very well to ensure no image burn-in occurs when I stop typing for a while. (At the moment, I am using the TV's input connected to my computer.) Even though the dimming feature is not good for watching movies, it is a must for anything else. Thankfully, when using the 4k input for movies, and Game Mode is enabled, the TV will not dim on its own.

I'd give this 4 or 5 stars for the TV but the manuals for it from LG are beyond pathetic. You have to find websites to help you figure out options you may want. If you want to just plug it in and have it be acceptable, this ain't for you. If you want a good manual for the manufacturer, this ain't for you. I found and downloaded the manual on their site (because, of course it does not come with one that is of any use). And the online details almost nothing. The little quick set up manual is the most pathetic of any I've ever seen. Tiny print. Hardly worth looking at.As for good screen display set up, I looked at a lot of recommendations online. Those suggesting a number of setting changes recommend filmmakers mode. One guy recommended Cinema mode with lower brightness on leds to get good image and color. First night with it I watched a hockey game and none of the standard presets looked good (between standard, sports, gamer, vivid). All too bright too vivid, too unreal looking. Ended up turning off power saving because it was always too bright for my room no matter what. It could not adjust itself down enough. Ended up, after reading that one persons recs on Cinema mode with LEDs output turned down to 50%. That got it to a very good place with good color, excellent brightness, and it looked fantastic on another hockey game and movie test on Apple TV.Now for the remote. I suggest you get a standard LG tv remote. We have one. It is so vastly better than the model that comes with it. Not even a simple button to get to selecting which HDMI input. The old, basic, non floating around your screen cursor models work far better. And you can turn that function off. But you know what does? A basic LG remote that does not have that function but has FAR more obvious and simple buttons. I got an LG tv for our conference room at work. Non LED and a 1/4th the cost four years ago. On that model, you can turn off the Magic mousing feature, whatever they call it.To recap. Gonna be a great TV. Pretty good sound quality even without a sound bar or hifi set up. Once I get settings dialed in, I will like it. None of the default set up choices presents an acceptable picture to me. Too bright, too vivid, even on standard mode. Going to take a lot of fiddling or get a pro to come to your house. Serious.Anyway, summary.TV great. Or I expect it to be.Manuals, utterly pathetic. And since there is no easy mode, that's bad.Remote. Unacceptably poor, few functions, very unintuitive.About me. Life long tech nerd with a lot of experience. This TV and manuals and remotes would suck for a novice.

I purchased this TV after giving Samsung the benefit of the doubt. Originally had the 65” S95 (2022) model that lasted me 2 years before the PCB died. It was my first Samsung and I will never buy a Samsung again.That said, got the LG C5 and quite impressed with the picture and color. Overall extremely happy with the quality/setup time. Delivery was spectacular, doubled boxed - and arrived in 2 days. Highly recommend!

The TV is exquisite the picture quality is outstanding and the overall review of this TV is excellent.
