LG C5 OLED
MSRP $1,399.99
Released March 2025
“The LG C5 holds its own amid a competitive year in TVs.”
Pros
- Infinite OLED contrast
- Ultra-thin
- Highly accurate image
Cons
- HDR is too dark
- Subpar remote
- Slow and outdated OS
The LG C5 OLED combines a sleek design with superb image quality, particularly for cinematic content or darkroom viewing. It can be found at more affordable prices than some other OLED options on the market, and features a no-nonsense design with built-in inputs.
It’s not as bright or as cheap as MiniLED displays, which are increasingly dominating the market, but the C5 stands on its own amid a competitive year in TVs.

LG C5 design: Ultra-thin, premium build
Quick take: This is one of the more stylish models I’ve seen this year
The LG C5 impresses right out of the box. Its ultra-thin frame, while a bit daunting to get out of the box, immediately conveys a premium build and thoughtful design.
I also appreciate that LG acknowledges that you can have a gorgeous thin display while still having inputs hardwired to the back of the television. I’m looking at you Samsung.
