I’ve finally seen the LG G5 OLED TV in action, and the upgrade over the G4 is much bigger than I expected

The 65-inch LG G5 OLED TV standing on a grey table. On the screen is an image from boxing TV show 'A Thousand Blows'.

Having missed CES this year, I’ve had to wait longer than usual to get my first look at LG’s new TVs, but I finally got the chance last month at a London event for reviewers.

I have to say that up until that point, I was a little underwhelmed by the G5 – frankly, I think LG did a pretty poor job of selling it during the pre-CES video briefing I tuned in for, with way too much focus on AI and personalisation and far too little on picture quality. I’m pleased to say, though, that having now seen the G5 in action, it looks like a really big step forward for the range and a much bigger upgrade over the G4 than that TV was over the G3.
