The LG G5 OLED TV upgrade I'm most excited about is its least flashy change, but might be its most important

LG has revealed its 2025 OLED TV lineup and among the models announced is the LG G5, one of its flagship 4K OLED models. The LG G5 is successor to 2024’s LG G4, one of the best OLED TVs of last year, and looks to provide several upgrades over the G4 – but there’s one upgrade suggested by LG that’s caught my eye in particular, and it’s not one of the biggest and flashiest features.

First, let’s talk about the flashy features. The LG G5 will be the world’s first AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync certified TV at 165Hz, a step up over the G4’s top 144Hz refresh rate, which will put the G5 in new territory compared to the best gaming TVs (although 144Hz and above is only relevant for PC gamers). It’s worth noting though that the G5 won’t support Dolby Vision and 165Hz at the same time.
