I thought I’d love LG’s new OLED TV Magic Remote, but it’s changed too much for my liking

LG's new Magic Remote held in a hand in front the LG G5 OLED TV.

When the LG G5 OLED TV was announced at CES 2025, you would have struggled to remove the Cheshire Cat grin from my face. The G5’s introduction of a new panel type, which promised vastly improved picture quality, had me beyond giddy with excitement. And our LG G5 review supports this, taking over from where the previous two generations of LG’s flagship OLED TV – the G3 and G4 – left off. I’ve used them both and believed them to be among the best TVs I’ve personally laid eyes on.

Alongside its new TV, LG also revealed a fully redesigned Magic Remote – the first overhaul in the best part of a decade. Between the two, I thought LG was on course to deliver the ultimate home-viewing experience.
