Customer reviews for LG 48" Class C5 Series OLED evo AI Smart TV forGreat TV but not perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No TV is perfect, however for the money you are spending, I would assume better integration of the AI features as well as better overall OS features and customizability. However, picture is great and like any OLED the blacks and contrast are spectacular. If you can get this TV on a deal such as I have then you will have no real complaints (even though its on a deal, still very expensive). Oh and you should expect to get a sound system or sound bar if you are getting this TV, built in speakers not great.

Awesome TV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let's just get straight to the point: the LG C5 is exactly what you expect from LG's mid-range OLED—which is to say, it’s brilliant. If you’re upgrading from an older LED or even a few-year-old OLED, you’ll notice the difference immediately. That perfect, inky black level that only OLED can deliver is as stunning as ever, but LG has clearly kept pushing the brightness. While it’s not quite the sun-gun that the high-end G5 is, the C5 is definitely bright enough to make HDR content truly pop, even in a moderately lit room. The picture quality is simply beautiful. Colors are rich and accurate, and thanks to the new Alpha 9 Gen 8 processor, motion handling is incredibly smooth. Watching a 4K movie in Filmmaker Mode (with Dolby Vision, naturally) feels like getting a private screening. The sense of depth and contrast is just unbeatable at this price point. Where the C5 truly shines is for gamers. With four full HDMI 2.1 ports, 144Hz VRR support, G-Sync, and an absurdly fast 0.1ms response time, this thing is future-proofed for the fastest PC and console gaming. If you own an Xbox Series X and want to take advantage of Dolby Vision Gaming, the C5 is a no-brainer. Everything is crisp, tear-free, and buttery smooth. Now for the few gripes. Firstly, if you're getting the smaller 42-inch or 48-inch models, you lose the full Brightness Booster technology and the anti-glare screen found in the 55-inch and up versions. That's a real shame for desktop users or those with smaller, brighter rooms. Secondly, the new remote design feels like a step backward. It's slimmer, but they moved the dedicated mute button to a long press on the volume rocker, which is just annoying when you need silence right now. Finally, while the WebOS smart platform is comprehensive, the push toward more AI features and a few intrusive home screen ads is a distraction on a premium television. You can disable the ads, thankfully, but it shouldn's be a thing in the first place. The Verdict: The LG C5 is the sweet spot in the OLED market. It delivers flagship picture quality and unmatched gaming performance. If you can stretch your budget for the 55-inch or larger size to get the full brightness boost, this is a TV that will absolutely dominate your living room entertainment for years to come.

Good quality and value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought OLED C5 from Black Friday deal. After setup, picture quality is impressive on 4K contents. Build quality appears to be solid as material of frame and base are metal vice plastic compare to other TVs in the market. Following Rting for calibration. Color saturation is good in both bright and dark rooms. I'd like to stick with realistic pictures thus opted for Dark Room Expert mode vice Vivid. Set up process is mostly painless and logical. Interface could improve to make selecting input source easier. Sound quality is average. Not really impressed with AI Pro sound mode. Stuck with Cinema. Overall, it has been good thus far after few days of use. Hopefully it'll last for longevity.

Great picture quality as expected from LG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG C5 is an absolutely phenomenal TV and easily the best OLED value this year. The picture quality is breathtaking, thanks to the perfect black levels and incredibly vibrant, accurate colors. Movies and shows come alive with stunning contrast and detail. For gamers, the 144Hz refresh rate, VRR, and G-Sync compatibility make the experience flawless—it’s ultra-smooth and responsive. The sleek, near-bezel-less design adds a premium feel to any room. If you want top-tier performance without the flagship price, look no further than the C5. It truly redefines home entertainment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first OLED TV and the color is very good! When viewing HDR content, I felt like it was really there in the scene. Additionally, the TV's sound system is very good as well. The bass was decent and there was enough clarity that I'd still be happy even without a home theater setup.

Brilliant Picture, Worth Every Inch LG C5 77in
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently bought the LG C5 77-inch, and it’s hands down one of the best TVs I’ve owned. The OLED panel delivers stunning contrast, true blacks, and vibrant colors that make movies and sports look lifelike. Gaming feels incredibly smooth thanks to the fast refresh rate and low input lag. The design is sleek and premium, and the webOS interface is intuitive. It’s a big investment, but the performance easily justifies it — a true home theater centerpiece.

A Major Upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My space is inherently dark due to having a night time occupation. The infinite contrast of the WOLED panel makes the picture pop. I previously had a 10 year old curved panel and it was lovely but after seeing my best friend’s C1 I knew I wanted to eventually grab one of these myself. Gaming plays a small role in my life and the ability to have 120 hz refresh for my Xbox and PS5 was a huge factor in my choice. Games look amazing, the latency is almost non-existent and they look better than they ever have before when compared to what I previously had. The only issue I have is WebOS and the settings menu. WebOS is fine, I just don’t need it to be there when I turn the TV on. The settings menus seem lacking for the quality of this set. I like to tinker and while I can’t articulate what’s missing from the settings that I’d prefer to have, I can say it’s annoying that things are grayed out when I should be able to control everything at any given moment. Overall, I’m very happy and will continue to work on perfecting my experience.
Hi FatKalEL, thank you for sharing your experience with the LG OLED77C5PUA. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the stunning contrast and smooth gaming performance of your new LG OLED evo AI C5. For WebOS, one helpful step is to adjust the Home Auto Launch setting under General → System → Additional Settings, which allows you to control whether WebOS appears when powering on. You can also explore Picture and Game Optimizer modes to unlock more settings and reduce grayed-out options.

Picture-Perfect Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm amazed by the quality of the display. Adding to it, the brightness, contrast, and detailing are top-notch. I was expecting the OLED to cause reflection problems during the daytime, but the brightness beats it; I barely notice any reflections. The sound quality is incredible, and it's my go-to screen for sports!

Outstanding TV with Incredible Picture Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG C5 is hands down one of the best TVs I’ve ever used. The picture quality is phenomenal - deep blacks, vibrant colors, and super sharp detail that makes movies and games look stunning. The OLED panel really shines, especially in dark scenes, and the brightness improvements over previous models are noticeable. The user interface is smooth and easy to navigate, and pairing it with streaming apps or external devices is effortless. Audio is surprisingly good for built-in speakers, but the real magic is the overall cinematic feel this TV brings. Whether it’s movies, sports, or gaming, everything just looks better. If you’re debating an upgrade, the LG C5 is absolutely worth it. It’s a premium TV that delivers premium performance. Highly recommended!
