Reviewer verdict

Across 12 YouTube reviews, the LG OLED65G5 earns an Index score of 3.9/5, ranking #57 among TVs. Reviewers most often praise its picture quality, gaming features, design & build, while the most common criticisms concern picture quality, value for money.

The OLED65G5 is repeatedly praised for its outstanding picture quality, with about half of reviewers (60 mentions) highlighting the new WOLED EVO/tandem panel, Alpha 11 Gen 2 AI processor, exceptional blacks, and greatly improved peak brightness and HDR tone mapping. Reviewers consistently note excellent color accuracy, wide color volume, smooth gradients after firmware fixes, strong upscaling and motion handling, and superb off-axis performance, making it well suited to both dark-room and brighter-room viewing. Gaming features are also frequently commended (23 mentions), including very low input lag, support for high refresh rates up to 165Hz, VRR, and robust HDMI 2.1 connectivity, plus gamer-focused menus. The build and design earn praise (13 mentions) for a premium, ultra-thin gallery look and a flush-to-wall aesthetic, while value and smart features are noted positively by multiple reviewers for including a flush mount, warranty, and comprehensive streaming and smart-home support.

Criticisms are fewer but recurring: picture-related caveats appear most often (18 mentions), with concerns about OLED limitations like theoretical burn-in risk, still-reflective/glossy screen finish, occasional green tint/off-angle issues, dithering lines when sitting very close, and aggressive AI processing that can introduce artifacts or an oversharpened/waxy look. Several reviewers flagged value and accessory choices (8 mentions), noting higher per-inch cost than some Mini-LEDs, missing or optional stands for certain sizes, and inconsistent Magic Remote shipping. Audio and usability drawbacks were mentioned by some (sound: 6 mentions; ease of use/OS: 9 mentions), with built-in speakers described as merely adequate for the price, the remote lacking backlighting or rechargeable power, and the interface sometimes cluttered or slightly sluggish. A few reviewers also reported specific limitations like VRR flicker in some cases and reduced transparency around software update details.
