The LG C5 is a 42-inch 4K OLED TV built on the same panel technology LG has refined for years, with the a9 AI Processor Gen8 handling upscaling, tone mapping and sound. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and its four HDMI ports run at up to 120Hz with VRR to 144Hz, with G-Sync and FreeSync compatibility. That makes it one of the few small OLEDs suited to both a bright-ish living room and a gaming desk. Rivals at this size include the Samsung S90 series and Sony's Bravia 8, which trade LG's four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and webOS for slightly different processing and panel coatings. Owners of the C series consistently praise the perfect blacks and viewing angles; the main complaints are peak brightness in bright rooms and the risk of permanent image retention.

Reviewers and owners of LG's C-series OLEDs praise the contrast, motion handling and gaming features, and call the C5 a modest refinement of the C4. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms and the usual OLED cautions about static logos and burn-in.
