Reviews
LG 42" C5 Smart 4K OLED evo AI TV (2025) with webOS 25 is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 305.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from LG OLED 65" C5 Upgrade from my 65" OLED C9. My 4th LG OLED going back to a much earlier curved screen and no regrets with my purchase of any one of them. With modern OLED TVs, the quality is so good the improvements become miniscule from yr to yr, but even so and as good as my 65" C9 is, this is noticeably better in picture clarity. Most noticeably on upscaling on normal TV viewing, but not limited to just test. Just an overall better picture. With the deals available now i would highly recommend this unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It looks as good as the display in the shop [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were dubious about changing from a brand we have been using for many years now but we are so happy that we chose the C5 it is truly amazing, I did not think we would get such a good looking picture on the tv we are so pleased and can honestly say this is best TV we have ever owned

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Next Gen Screen! Set up could not have been smoother or faster! The picture is truly amazing! Love the extremely thin profile of the screen at the top going into the base as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding TV, the best I have seen on the market [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have just purchased the OLED48C56LB tv to replace an old plasma tv and WOW! I wished we had done it ssoner. The colour balance and sound difference is tremendous. Watching programmes is soooo different, especially the nature programmes. Its like your there, whether in the jungle or swimming along a coral reef, the colours are outstanding. Combine that with the Dolby Atmos sound, its like being in the cinema in your own lounge. Plus its a "smart" tv with all the bells and whistles you would expect. I am so glad we purchased this tv. Well worth spending that bit more than the "cheaper" tv's.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A beautiful television with a superb picture [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A beautiful television with a superb picture. The display was a tad murky at first and needed some tweaking with the picture settings to get it brighter. (Cinematic mode seems to work best.) We like the solid stand rather than spindly legs. The remote control needs some getting used to. We found it a bit finicky but other users may disagree. Compatibility between the tv and our Sky Q remote is not completely reliable. Sound from the internal speakers is ok, lacking in bass and certainly not cinematic but acceptable. It really cries out for a separate soundbar. Initial setup was reasonably easy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Terrible interface We just bought the TV. Physical installation wasn't bad. But the interface is extremely confusing. I never got the mobile app to work. With difficulty, I downloaded the app for Spectrum (our cable). It doesn't appear on the main screen and is hard to find. We don't use any of the apps on the main screen (Disney, HBO, etc.) We like to stream PBS (Passport) and found out that it is not available on LGs. That weird floating cursor won't go away. CC is hard to access. If we ever find a channel to watch, the picture is fine. All of my complaints are about how difficult it is to use. The AI seems useless. Why are there all those ads for movies or streaming services in the way?
Date published: 2025-09-07
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Display is very sharp Pros: 1. Display is very sharp and colors pop out. 2. Light weight and easy to install. So far loving it. Cons: 1. Wall mount option Angie did not come thru' for me. Using the TV stand instead. 2. Volume goes up during ads. No mute button on Magic Remote - we have to bring down the volume to "0" for a mute.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product, poor website. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. Very pleased with unit itself. Set up simple enough but all on power up. Some form of detailed explanation of where to connect Sky box and other connections would have been nice. Thank heavens for the internet. Purchase was not smooth using L.G. website. I believe they were having tech. difficulties. Tried to join and enrol, it kept sending e.mail responses then informing me my address was not valid. Soundbar offer could not be accepted and kept crashing page. In the end i purchased the TV and left the offer. There was no other way to make the sale happen.

Questions & Answers

Does the C5 support DTS? I have read that it doesn’t. Will this effect sound from sources like a. Blu-Ray player?

Asked by: dps915
Neither the LG 55-inch Class LG OLED evo AI C5 4K Smart TV 2025, Model # OLED55C5PUA, nor any of our 2025 TVs support DTS. We removed DTS audio support from our 2025 TVs primarily due to low user demand, as internal data showed the vast majority of content consumption uses Dolby formats, making DTS support unnecessary for most consumers. Dolby was by far the most-used surround sound format, largely because Dolby and Atmos is the preferred format of the best streaming services. The one notable DTS exception, the IMAX Enhanced streamed by Disney+, wasn't supported on LG TVs due to its particular variation on the format. But that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy DTS soundtracks. DTS is a compressed audio format, and that means you need a device that can uncompress it and send it to one of the best soundbars, or your home theater speakers. If your TV is removed from the equation, then it doesn't matter it doesn't support DTS. If the TV can't decode DTS, you may have other devices that can. So if your source device is connected to an AV receiver that's DTS-compatible, then you don't need to worry whether your TV has DTS: the decoding happens on your receiver, not on your TV. With soundbars it's a little more complex, because you'll need a soundbar that supports HDMI passthrough as well as DTS so that the soundbar can handle the audio and send the video to the TV. Most high-end or mid-range models from LG or other manufacturers have that connectivity, so you can connect one of the best 4K Blu-ray players or other DTS source directly to the soundbar's HDMI input and then connect the TV to the other port, and the soundbar will take and decode the DTS audio...^Ivan.

This TV is listed as featuring a “brightness booster”, but what are the actual maximum and minimum brightness levels? [Lumens] To be clear, I am asking about the max and min brightness settings, not black levels when at a standard setting.

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi Andrew, we appreciate you reaching out about the OLED65C5PUA and its Brightness Booster feature. We understand you’re looking for the actual maximum and minimum brightness levels in lumens, specifically the full brightness range rather than black‑level performance. We understand how important precise brightness data can be when evaluating a display. The C5’s Brightness Booster enhances luminance through pixel‑level control, but the TV’s maximum and minimum brightness values in lumens (or nits) are not published on the LG USA site or in the product manual. A helpful first step is adjusting the OLED Pixel Brightness and Peak Brightness settings in the Picture menu, which gives you the widest available brightness range the panel can output. You can review the full model details here: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ‑LG Digital Care Team ^Rich

What are the dimensions of the 43” and 48”?

Asked by: Finnegan1965
Hi Finnegan, thanks for reaching out about the C5 OLED series. We understand you want the exact dimensions for both the 43" and 48" sizes. For the 48" OLED48C5PUA, the dimensions are: With stand: 42.2" x 26.6" x 9.1" Without stand: 42.2" x 24.3" x 1.8" A helpful step is to measure your space using the without‑stand height if you plan to wall‑mount.

I keep getting an error when adding the 65" OLED65C5PUA TV bundle (wall mount + wall mount installation+soundbar). If the wall mount is backordered, shouldn't there be an alternative mount - especially if mounting service is included in the special?

Asked by: JeffRolfe
Hi Jeff, we appreciate you reaching out, and we understand wanting the bundle to go through smoothly with your OLED65C5PUA. The bundle error typically appears when one required item—usually the wall mount—is backordered, and the system won’t allow substitutions inside a promotional bundle. One helpful step is adding the TV and soundbar to your cart without the mount first, then checking the mount’s product page to see when it becomes available again. You can review your TV here: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled65c5pua-oled-4k-tv If you’d like help completing the purchase or exploring compatible mounts outside the bundle, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ‑LG Digital Care Team ^Rich

Asked by: Sean Naughton
Hi Sean, we appreciate you reaching out, and we understand wanting the exact measurements for the OLED42C5PUA. This model measures 36.7" wide and 21.3" high without the stand. One helpful step is confirming whether you plan to use the stand or wall‑mount, since the height increases to 22.7" with the stand attached.
