Is the G5 worth it over the C5?

The G5 adds brightness and a stronger processor over the C5. If you watch in a bright room or game seriously, the step up is easier to justify; in a dark room the C5 gets close.

Does it support 4K at 120Hz and 144Hz?

Yes. All four HDMI 2.1 ports handle 4K at high refresh rates, including 144Hz for compatible PCs, plus VRR and ALLM for consoles.

Does it come with a stand?

LG's G-series is designed for wall mounting, and a stand is not included with every size. Check the box contents for the 55-inch before you plan a tabletop setup.

Is burn-in a real risk?

OLED panels can retain static images over long periods. Vary content and use the TV's screen-care features; most owners see no issue in normal mixed viewing.

The TV, the Magic Remote, a power cable and wall-mount hardware. A stand and HDMI cables are not part of the standard bundle.

Is the built-in sound good enough?

It is fine for news and casual viewing, but reviewers find it thin for movies. A soundbar or AV receiver gets much closer to the picture quality.

Our take on the LG G5WUA 4K UHD Smart OLED TV 55-inch

The LG G5 is LG's 2025 flagship OLED, sold here in the 55-inch size. It uses a brighter four-stack OLED panel with LG's Alpha 11 processor, four HDMI 2.1 ports at 165Hz, and the webOS smart platform with the Magic Remote. It suits movie fans and console gamers who want deep blacks and wide viewing angles in a dark or mixed-light room. Against the C-series OLEDs it costs more but adds brightness and gaming headroom; against QD-OLED rivals it gives up some color punch but keeps LG's processing and four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports.
