LG 83-Inch Class OLED evo AI 4K G5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10, AI Super Upscaling 4K, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED83G5WUA, 2025)

I recently upgraded my eight years old LG OLED TV, as picture quality has improved greatly over the years and I intend on updating my PC gaming build to have a more current GPU that support 4k at 120Hz which this TV does.Pros------* Very thin and existing mount out of the box has the TV very flush to the wall.* Reasonable price (though not inexpensive) for TV size and picture quality.* Even though I use wireless headphones or home theater surround speakers, I was impressed with built-in speakers quality.* Supports many common streaming platforms out of the box.Cons------* For this price I would expect to get a backlit remote - very annoying searching for button types in the dark.* I myself highly dislike the magic remote pointer - there is currently no way to permanently disable it.* Setup is easy enough but the voice sounds as if the person inhaled the contents of a helium balloon and spoke fast.* There are too many "smart" features in my opinion which I myself don't use at all. Unsure if there is a permanent way to remove them or the annoying popups.* Seems there is a possibility for voice commands, meaning there is a microphone somewhere. I don't see any physical button/switch to turn it off. I consider this a privacy invasion issue at this day and age.I initially gave the TV a four stars mark, just due to remote and microphone, but I decided to give it five stars due to the main function of the TV which is picture quality.

Fantastic TV just please note for reasons unknown despite its expense it does not come with a stand only mounting brackets which makes no sense because I've bought different versions of this exact type of TV twice in the past and those two came with a stand the mounting brackets are a separate purchase but this TV's got it backwards you can purchase this then on LG's website however it's not available in the states yet however there is an alternative stand you can buy on Amazon which in my opinion is way better than the stands that came with either of my last two OLED LG TVs. So aside from that issue the USB ports are very fast compared to the last models. The game optimizer is awesome the sound is way better than any previous model I've had. Please note I can't remember my previous model numbers all I can tell you is I had the 2015 OLED 65 inch class which I believe was a C tier and a 2020 65 in class which was either a c or d tier. The the audio is also very nice and the AI features for both the audio and the video is also very nice especially compared to the aforementioned models. One thing to be aware of now I've only had this happen on my Xbox One series X but that doesn't mean it won't happen on other consoles as well once in awhile upon switching from a game to the home menu or simply starting a game your TV will lose the input it happens on this model and the last two models I had I don't think LG knows how to fix it cuz all my TVs are always updated all the time I have sex over that and the issue persisted across all three models I never figured out any definite way of reproducing it other than it's a random occurrence depending on what setting you have your TV no input settings set to you'll either get a black screen or no input screen I'm not sure why this happens but the only way to fix it is to attempt to go back to the home menu or go back into the game by blindly hitting buttons on the controller.

Love it. Works great, makes people look almost 3D on top quality streaming movies. Black color is perfectly black in scenes, etc., etc. I knew it didn't come with a stand, so I ordered the "ECHOGEAR Universal Large TV Stand - Height Adjustable Base for TVs up to 77" - Wobble-Free Replacement Stand Works w/Any TV Including Vizio, TCL, Samsung & More - Flat Design Compatible w/Soundbars" which works great.

Amazing picture, easy setup, solid build and did I say amazing picture already? Recently upgraded from a 2019 65' LG Oled to the 77' G5 and what a difference a few years in tech advancement can make. The biggest drawback for the TV is its cost, but I keep my sets for at least 5 to 6 years until new technology can come out. Highly recommend this TV.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE 5/28/2025ISSUES ARE STILL NOT FIXED! OVER ONE MONTH LATER!DESPICABLE LG!THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME BACK AFTER SERVICE COMPLAINT EITHER!STAY FAR AWAY IF YOU LIKE QUALITY AND REFERENCE SETTINGS!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Don't buy until issues are resolved.I'm super bummed. I was really excited to upgrade from a 77G1 to this panel but it still had so many issues I'll have to return if they don't fix.They pushed out a firmware update that improved Dolby Vision near black posterization and color banding but they have not fixed the same issue on HDR10.It looks like total slop near black on any HDR10 content. Streamed or physical.Especially compared to my previous 77G1 and 77C9 and 55E6. Generations older, and this is worse.Video attached showing the issue in gaming.Pictures attached with G5 on top vs competing Samsung OLED below in HDR10 content.Inexcusable for the price.
