The crazy thing about the G5 48" not being a 4 layer, 4th gen W-Oled is that LG Display are making a 48" 4 layer panel. LG Electronics just aren't using it for some reason. Makes no sense.
G Series is better than C Series. There is not much difference between C 1 and C4. C 3 is better than C4 because it has more neutral colours. G2 is a little bit better than C3 too. G3 is better than G4 because G 4 has to much green colour.
Good that they are fixing the Game Mode on the C5 but a bit sad I'll have to wait a year for price drops before buying one because I'm definitely not paying more than $900 for a C5 when it hasn't changed much since the introduction of the Evo panel 3 years ago. They have been selling the same TV over and over again for years now with barely any changed or improvements.
I have a 42" C4 and it's pretty damn good. I've tapped into the service menus with some 3rd party software that really boosts brightness. Not sure the C5 will be a worthy upgrade
Very much of a longshot, only one other person i know about figured it out But did you happen to catch the laptop with the QDEL display at the TCL section? From prototype held together by tape, to a functional laptop in a year is great I cant wait to get a monitor/TV on my hands to test them against QD-OLED and microLED
Tell LG to release an un-neutered 42 inch version of the G5 so a bunch of us can finally upgrade our C1s/C2s. At this stage the c-series upgrades then have been very minimal and not worth an upgrade.
If you get your hands on a C5 42", can you look into Dolby Vision (DV) for PC? I have a C2 of the same size and was curious about how DV content looks on a Windows 11 PC. I have the C2 hooked up to a 4090 paired with an i9 10900k overclocked to 5.2 GHz on all cores, 32 GB of RAM, and 4 TB NVME. Would the jump from C2 to C5 significantly improve picture quality?
I'd love to upgrade from my 27" 4k miniled... I do need a much deeper desk though. 80cm depth may not suffice for a 55". oooorrr I get the c5 42".... but I'll have to think.
@kake52 I have a 55 G4 now on a 4090. I purchased a MASSIVE desk from Wayfair, and wall mounted the 55. I sit about 6 to 8 feet away in a recliner while gaming. I purchased a nice gloss coated board that I lay across the recliner arms for my mouse and keyboard. It's pretty amazing.
If you have ANY pull with LG, please advise them that they should make a Flex version of their latest 48" OLED so I can replace my LG Flex 42. Don't get me wrong, the Flex 42 has been a great monitor so far, but I'd LOVE a 48" version with a brighter panel. Oh yeah, I don't need built in speakers or the RGB on the back, just build a flexible 16:9 ratio 48" OLED monitor.
@TrueBlade-1889 yeah same. No one uses the numbers anymore so it's a dumb rule. I haven't used the numbers since the early 2000s. Like 20 years now. I will probably try to purchase the usa version of their remote separately. If that's possible. Because this G5 is a TV I really want. Almost bought the G4 until I saw the difference. I would be annoyed if I bought the G5 and then the G6 colours became like QD oled but the overall TV being better than QD oled because of their 4 later panels. If RGB is their next focus, then I could possibly wait another year. But there are no guarantees that they will even focus on RGB next year. That could be 2-3 years away
Should I upgrade from a C9? Will the upgrade be comparable from going to a lcd tv to the C9? Because that upgrade was huge and I was blown away by the PQ.
@ the QD OLED is much sharper from the distance I sit at my desk being 32”. From a more fair distance of 5 feet, it’s just as good. Im kinda sad overall.. I might put this tv in the bedroom 😕. The brightness is much higher on the tv, but QD OLEDs colors are insanely vibrant and seem a lot more accurate, along with having a wider array. The G4 does have a much brighter image then the monitor when gaming tho.. idk. The G5 will wipe this monitor off the map.
@@JRayHDi do have the alienware 4k 240hz,was thinking of replacing it with a c5 or g5 42inc for pc gaming,do you think it will be worth changing? I dont care about brightness much tho more for image quality
I suspect on the side by side display with 4th gen Oled vs "other Oled" that they've screwed with the "other OLED's" settings to make it look worse. You can't get blacker than a pixel that is black because it is off yet the other OLED was grey on the black parts. Doesn't make any sense...
I DON’T suspect any foul play. QD OLED has major issues with ambient light, especially warm light seems to make it look very purple. What they showed is pretty spot on to my experience with them side by side.
165 hz is not interesting for PS5 players and PC players either. You can even notice the difference between 165 and 240 hz I'm from Germany and your information is really vague You said 240hz would come soon, but 45 inches are only 165 again
I preferred the small loss of contrast in a bright room with G4 compared to the huge contrast loss with S95D. So this one, having no MLA and keeping the contrast of C4, damn, R.I.P. Scamsung with QD-OLED matte screen.
Literally only one thing makes QD farrrrrrr superior to WOled… Uniformity. It literally ruins dark scenes. All this 4 stack needs imo is that near perfect uniformity of QD Oled and it’s already a hugeeee improvement
@Heliosvector yes. And if he had integrity he'd cover the downsides of OLED and other alternatives. As the 'display guy' one would imagine that would be his imperative, but he doesn't, because he has no integrity

The most amazing news!! THEN you crush us by saying no 48in or 42in G5 4 layer. How can they call it a G5 48in if the specs are different?
They've done this before with MLA. It's very deceptive
Im still running my cx48 with almost 7000hrs of screen time. 100% used for my pc
The crazy thing about the G5 48" not being a 4 layer, 4th gen W-Oled is that LG Display are making a 48" 4 layer panel. LG Electronics just aren't using it for some reason. Makes no sense.
Who is buying them?
@@krazyolie No manufacturer has announced a monitor/tv using the panel yet.
Your comment hurt my head with the one-on sentences That still don't understand what you said
48 is not a good size, 42 is the golden spot
@@moStallion
Seems rather simple. LG is making 48" 4-layer 4th gen panels, but none of their TV's is using them.
Ight no cap I thought it would be worse without MLA but the way your talking about it makes me excited.
The 42”/48” G5/C5 is just not any different than the C4? Im disappointed but happy, because no temptation to upgrade now
G Series is better than C Series. There is not much difference between C 1 and C4. C 3 is better than C4 because it has more neutral colours. G2 is a little bit better than C3 too. G3 is better than G4 because G 4 has to much green colour.
tvs being behind in refresh rate is a big deal breaker for me. i can tell a big difference between 165 and 240hz.
You probably have to wait for at least three years for 240Hz. Because TVs are barely moving from 144Hz to 165Hz.
I have a 4k 240hz monitor but will also be getting the 55 inch LG G5 for when i feel like playing on the extra size #NoDiddy
@@504Trey your situation makes sense
We need to wait for HDMI 2.2 before 240Hz is a thing
LG always innovating.
I'm hoping that the G4 and C4 are cheap on Superbowl time, hopefully will pick one up
Good that they are fixing the Game Mode on the C5 but a bit sad I'll have to wait a year for price drops before buying one because I'm definitely not paying more than $900 for a C5 when it hasn't changed much since the introduction of the Evo panel 3 years ago. They have been selling the same TV over and over again for years now with barely any changed or improvements.
I hope the price remains the same as usually during black Friday a 55inch G series TV goes as low as £1350-£1500 but I may get the 65 inch
I have a 42" C4 and it's pretty damn good. I've tapped into the service menus with some 3rd party software that really boosts brightness. Not sure the C5 will be a worthy upgrade
Do you think they'll add MLA on the G6 for more brightness and affect the blackness again?
Yes
Maybe, but I don’t see why they would need it. I think next year maybe we could finally see RGB.
How’s the anti reflection of the G5 against windows and objects in a bright room?
Decent deals on LG G4 65 inch now, under $2,400 with free install, which made me make the leap now.
I want to replace my 48" CX. The 48" G5 not supporting 165Hz is a major letdown.
When do you think LG will move on to 8k oled because that would be the ultimate tv
Very much of a longshot, only one other person i know about figured it out
But did you happen to catch the laptop with the QDEL display at the TCL section?
From prototype held together by tape, to a functional laptop in a year is great
I cant wait to get a monitor/TV on my hands to test them against QD-OLED and microLED
Yes I have a lot of footage.
I heard the c5 hasn’t changed much so I’m going for the G5
If I have a C4 screen and use it mainly for watching TV and movies, is it worth upgrading to the C5 model? Will I feel significant changes?
No

so which one is more recommended for PC GAMING C5 42" or G5 48"?
g5 stil
I'll make a 55 work.

So whats the difference between the c5 vs the g5 ?
Brightness, colour and refresh rate. Design as well since G5 doesn't come with stand.
@FrowningTaco Why no stand ? The G4 had one.
@TrueBlade-1889g5 will probably come with a stand in the UK. But not usa. Usa get the new remote though and UK don't. That's disappointing
@mohammedfaiisal Yes, they say in the UK the remote has to have number buttons.
Yet my Samsung TV remote has none. Go figure.
@TrueBlade-1889 yeah same. No one uses the numbers anymore so it's a dumb rule. I haven't used the numbers since the early 2000s. Like 20 years now.

Lets hope it doesn't have the Diagonal Line issues of the G series for us desktop users who sit close!
Hopefully the color comes closer to qd oled I’ll replace my s90d
Чем-то не устраивает s90d? Отсутствием Dolby vision?Tizen? DTS?Плохая обработка изображения?
Should I upgrade from a C9? Will the upgrade be comparable from going to a lcd tv to the C9? Because that upgrade was huge and I was blown away by the PQ.
Your only gain really is some brightness. I wouldn't unless you are getting a G series.
C9 to G5 would be pretty huge.
@@thedisplayguy would you recommend getting a G5 or G4 over qdoled? Samsung quality control is pretty bad and has me worried.
No. The G-5 was planned obsolesces and fools keep falling for it.
Literally would have pre ordered if the C5 was 165hz. oh well. guess I'll skip this next one. Very happy with my C4 for gaming.
any 8K TV at 48"?
Is the 42 inch c5 144hz?
LG says the G5 48-inch it's going to be 165 HZ doesn't that mean it will have the new panel😢
@@la3692 No. The 48" G5 is 144hz with lower brightness specs
LG: We lied
I have a Alienware qd 240hz, and I just got an LG G4… idk if I’ll upgrade. Arg
What difference are u noticing between the qd Oled and G4? I’m thinking about buying the G5 over the qdoled

The "other OLED" lacks a polarizer. So it struggles with ambient light more.

This is so stupid lol, Gsync support, high refresh display and NO display port?
They should just make a glossy ultra gear for gamers
or gorilla glass. the matte plus mla makes it way too blurry
I’m so tired of waiting for super bright monitors that have no haloing 😢
Yeah I was soooo stoked for the 48” G5 then I found all that out and instantly stopped caring, thanks for nothing there LG.

Always remember guys. Tvs are at END GAME NOW.
Huh? 165Hz is still a blur. Unless they're finally, please, bringing back OLED Motion Pro??
Does this TV still have the problem with LG TVs and WOLED TVs in general where when you look at it from the side it has a green tint off an angle?
Hisense rules LG drools.
Literally only one thing makes QD farrrrrrr superior to WOled… Uniformity. It literally ruins dark scenes. All this 4 stack needs imo is that near perfect uniformity of QD Oled and it’s already a hugeeee improvement
Agree. But colors are a nice bonus as well.
If only they could somehow defeat the ambient light black raise and purple tint issue...
LG Monitor need woled with glossy screen
LG is OG, yo!

Samsung 95f not lg
👍👍👍👍👍🎊🎉
The 48” G5 is only dressed up like one don’t buy it. Obvious scam, they’ll charge about €1,000 more than the C5 one.
webCOS? LOL...
Warum redet der nicht selber sondern KI Sprecher?? Ich wette viele haben es gar nicht gecheckt😂
There hasn't been a purple tint on QD OLED Samsung TVs for two generations now😂 and the Samsung is a 4000 nit😮
QD OLED is dead, just face it bro
@badpuppy3
U lost yo damn mind. QD Oled is the GOAT & I have both QD Oled & Woled

Not true at all. All the monitors have it too.
