LG G5 2025 Review: Stunning 4th-Gen WOLED Display & Cutting-Edge Features
The latest OLED evo TVs feature LG’s upgraded Brightness Booster Ultimate technology, revolutionizing light control architecture and enhancement algorithms to deliver 3x brighter images in 10% window areas compared to B-series OLED models (available in 55/65/77/83-inch G5/M5 variants). Impressively, full-screen brightness sees a 40% boost over last year’s G4 series.
All 55/65/77/83-inch G-series models now support stunning 4K resolution at buttery-smooth 165Hz with VRR capability.
(While the G5 lineup introduces a new 48-inch variant, it’s essentially a stripped-down version not worth considering. The C5 shows minimal improvements – perhaps some new materials and algorithms for marginal brightness gains – making the more affordable C4 a smarter choice. Expect the G5 to follow the G4’s release pattern: launching in China post-March’s AWE exhibition before hitting reasonable price points around September – perfect timing for my planned purchase!)
Meet the sleek new remote. The innovative AI Voice ID adds personalized convenience by recognizing individual voices, automatically switching profiles, and curating content recommendations (though this feature might not make it to the Chinese market).

The next-gen WOLED panels bid farewell to MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology, which previously used microscopic lenses to focus light and boost brightness.
(Many describe this as “abandoning” MLA, but let’s clarify – MLA doesn’t generate light, it merely concentrates existing light at considerable cost.
LG Display isn’t giving up on it entirely; they’re just pacing their innovation. Remember the 2017 jump from 2-layer to 3-layer WOLED stacking? They’re likely optimizing 4-layer technology now. MLA will make its comeback when they hit development plateaus – just watch! 😆)
(Notably, LG Display skipped CES 2025, with LG only showcasing TVs without detailing new panel tech. However, Panasonic’s Z95B, using the same new WOLED panel as LG’s G5, offered some insights.)

The groundbreaking four-layer emissive structure fine-tunes light wavelengths and enhances color purity, achieving 40% greater luminous efficiency. This breakthrough delivers significantly brighter images with expanded color volume for breathtakingly rich, true-to-life visuals.
(The innovation separates red and green deposition layers (previously combined) while introducing new blue materials. Spectral analysis suggests notable BT2020 color gamut improvements – though remember, most content still uses P3 standards until monitors achieve full BT2020 coverage.)
