Is the LG C5 worth it over the C4?

The C5 adds the Alpha 9 Gen8 processor, webOS 25 and a 144Hz refresh mode for PC gaming. If you already own a C4, the jump is modest; first-time OLED buyers get the bigger gain.

How bright is the LG C5?

It is brighter than earlier C-series sets, and owners say the picture pops, but reviewers say it still trails some competing OLEDs. It looks best in a dim room; in a bright room, close the blinds or expect some washout.

Does the LG C5 support 4K at 144Hz?

Yes, over HDMI 2.1, with VRR up to 144Hz for PC and 120Hz for consoles. Use a certified HDMI 2.1 cable and enable Game Optimizer on the input.

What is in the box with the LG C5?

The TV, a Magic Remote with batteries, a stand, a power cable, a quick start guide and an e-manual. A wall mount is not included.

Is the LG C5 good for a bright living room?

It handles a well-lit room better than older OLEDs, but it is not the brightest option. If your room gets direct sun all day, a bright mini-LED may suit you better.

Do I need a soundbar with the LG C5?

Owners say the built-in sound is good enough on its own. Dolby Atmos helps, but a soundbar still adds weight for big action movies.

Does the LG C5 have banding in dark scenes?

Some owners report blocky banding in dark scenes. It varies by source; lower-quality streams show it more than good 4K discs.
