The LG Evo AI G5 OLED the New Standard for TV
OLED TVs have consistently delivered the best picture quality in our head-to-head tests -- with the best shadow detail, contrast, color and black levels. Yet, there is one thing LCD-based TVs have always done better: sheer brightness. That is, until the 2025 LG G5 came along. Finally, OLED can reclaim its place at the top of the TV technology leader board with a model that performs brilliantly in almost every single respect. Maybe the forthcoming LG G6 will be even better? Full article here…
PROS
- Highest brightness of any OLED TV yet
- Stunning image quality
- Best color accuracy of every TV in 2025
CONS
