LG OLED evo Smart TV vs LG Evo G5 OLED TV

Both are LG OLEDs, so both deliver perfect blacks, wide viewing angles and infinite contrast. The G5 is the step-up set: a 165Hz panel, an anti-glare coating, four HDMI ports and Wi-Fi 6E, aimed at gamers and bright rooms. The standard LG Smart OLED covers the same core picture quality across 65 to 97 inches and suits most living rooms. Buy the G5 if you game or fight window glare; buy the standard OLED if you want a big-screen OLED without paying for gaming extras.

  • Choose the LG Smart OLED TV if you want a large OLED in a size that fits your room and do not need a 165Hz panel or anti-glare glass.
  • Choose the LG 83-Inch Evo G5 OLED TV if you play fast games, watch sports in a bright room, or want the brightest, most glare-resistant OLED LG makes.

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The G5. Its 165Hz panel and VRR support give smoother motion than the standard OLED's 120Hz. Console and PC gamers will notice the difference in fast shooters and racing games.
Which has better picture quality?
Both use OLED panels, so blacks, contrast and viewing angles are essentially equal. The G5's anti-glare coating and brighter Evo panel give it an edge in bright rooms.
Is the G5 worth stepping up to?
Yes if you game, watch sports in daylight, or need four HDMI ports. If you mostly stream movies in a dim room, the standard OLED delivers the same OLED look for less.
Which lasts longer?
Both use the same OLED technology and should have similar lifespans. OLED panels can dim over many years of static content; the G5's brighter panel runs harder, so vary your content on either set.
Does the standard OLED come in more sizes?
Yes. It comes in 65, 77, 83 and 97 inches, while the G5 is sold only in 83 inches. That makes the standard model the choice for most room sizes.
Which has more streaming apps?
The standard LG Smart OLED lists Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+, while the G5 lists Netflix and Disney+. Both run LG's smart platform, so app availability is close.
