LG G5 and M5 OLED TVs Aim for Better Gaming and Picture Quality

LG has introduced at CES 2025 two high-end OLED TVs — the G5 and the wireless M5 — that promise improved brightness and better color performance.

The two 4K TVs, which boast the same panels, feature the company’s Brightness Booster Ultimate, which is 20 percent brighter than the company’s B4 television. They also include the Alpha 11 AI processor, and LG says the screens’ Perfect Color technology will deliver more-consistent color, and they’ve been rated Perfect Black by certification company UL.

The M5 features a Zero Connect Box with “visually lossless” wireless connection and support for gaming consoles at 4K/144Hz. It’s worth noting that the M5 isn’t completely wireless — it still needs to be connected to power. In contrast, the Displace TV, also being exhibited at CES, uses a rechargeable battery. Meanwhile, the G5 is capable of up to 165Hz support, and LG says it’s the first TV certified for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. 

The TVs support Filmmaker Mode with Ambient Light Compensation, which adapts the picture according to the lighting conditions of the room. The screens also offer a number of AI features, including an AI chatbot for troubleshooting TV problems and improving picture; AI-based content search; and AI-generated art. There’s even an AI remote.

The G5 and M5 announcement follows the availability of the transparent OLED T, which sells for a cool $60,000. Though the new TVs won’t hit those stratospheric prices, you can still expect them to cost upward of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. The LG OLED G4 had the best picture of all the TVs we tested in 2024, and the listed improvements suggest the G5 may be even better.
