LG OLED83G5

The LG OLED83G5 combines LG’s legendary Gallery design finesse with technical innovations that push the boundaries of OLED technology. Aimed at demanding cinephiles and passionate gamers, it positions itself as the 2025 benchmark for premium large screens.

Technological Innovation: The Tandem OLED Panel

The true revolution of the G5 lies in its Tandem OLED panel, a unique architecture that stacks two emission layers to optimize light diffusion. This approach achieves exceptional brightness levels, exceeding 2300 cd/m² according to Les Numériques tests, with peaks reaching up to 3000 nits under certain conditions.

This technical feat transforms OLED use in bright environments, where previous models showed their limits. The Brightness Booster Ultimate technology analyzes each scene to maximize brightness peaks without compromising detail or color fidelity. The infinite contrast characteristic of OLED remains intact, with absolute blacks creating striking image depth.

The α11 AI 4K Gen2 processor orchestrates this new panel with remarkable precision, optimizing brightness in real time according to the displayed content. This synergy between hardware and software ensures automatic adaptation to viewing conditions, from a dark movie at night to a sports match in broad daylight.

Reference Gaming Performance

The G5 sets new standards for high-end gaming with native 4K support at 165Hz via HDMI 2.1. This high refresh rate, combined with a measured response time of 0.1ms, delivers outstanding smoothness for competitive gaming. Input lag drops to just 9.2ms in Game Optimizer mode, placing this TV on par with the best gaming monitors.

AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync Compatible synchronization technologies effectively eliminate screen tearing, while VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) automatically adapts to the source’s framerate. ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) automatically detects gaming signals to instantly switch to optimized settings.

Dolby Vision Gaming compatibility in 4K 120Hz is an added bonus for next-gen consoles, offering extended dynamic range even in HDR games. This technical versatility makes the G5 an ideal choice for both demanding PC gamers and PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X owners.

Gallery Design and Architectural Integration

The G5’s Gallery Design approach favors seamless integration into modern living spaces. With a thickness of just 28mm without the stand, this TV mounts on the wall like a work of art thanks to the included wall bracket. This minimalist design philosophy eliminates visual clutter while maximizing the screen’s aesthetic impact.

The understated black and gray finish naturally suits contemporary interiors. The absence of a stand in the standard configuration (sold separately) encourages wall mounting, freeing up floor space and creating an elegant floating effect. The precise dimensions of 1847 × 1057mm allow for accurate architectural planning.

This minimalist approach reflects LG’s philosophy where technology fades into the background in favor of content. Discreet cabling and Wi-Fi 6 wireless connectivity further enhance this careful integration into the home environment.

Artificial Intelligence and WebOS 25 Interface

WebOS 25 introduces an unprecedented level of artificial intelligence in the user interface. The integrated AI chatbot learns viewing habits to suggest personalized content and automatically optimize settings according to user preferences. This continuous adaptation improves daily use without manual intervention.

Intelligent voice recognition with Voice ID enables multi-user personalization, adapting the interface and recommendations to the person speaking. Integration with Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and major voice assistants (Google Assistant, Alexa) ensures broad compatibility with the modern connected ecosystem.

The new Magic Remote, though more compact, divides users with its redesigned layout. Some regret the removal of programmable buttons and the emphasis on AI at the expense of direct source access.

Audio Quality and Recommendations

The 4.2 channel 60W audio system is the G5’s relative weak point. While compatible with Dolby Atmos with 11.1.2 virtualization via AI Sound Pro, the output remains limited by the screen’s slimness. Voices benefit from effective Clear Voice Pro processing, but the bass lacks depth for demanding cinematic use.

WOW Orchestra technology enables optimal synergy with compatible LG soundbars, creating an extended audio system that uses both the TV’s and the soundbar’s speakers. This approach is the recommended investment to fully exploit the G5’s visual potential.

Gamers will appreciate the minimal audio latency and precise image-sound synchronization, essential for competitive gaming. WiSA support also allows integration of dedicated wireless audio systems for a custom setup.

Connectivity and Extended Compatibility

The G5’s connectivity meets current and future requirements with four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting all modern standards: 4K 120Hz, eARC, VRR, ALLM, QMS, and QFT. This setup ensures compatibility with next-gen consoles, 4K Blu-ray players, and high-end gaming PCs.

Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 guarantee stable and fast wireless connections. The three USB 2.0 ports allow playback of local content, while the Ethernet input ensures a stable wired connection for 4K HDR streaming.

eARC on HDMI port 2 transmits high-definition audio signals to external systems without compression, preserving Dolby Atmos and DTS:X quality. This comprehensive connectivity eliminates technical compromises and ensures long-term scalability.

Supplied with a wall mount. Stand not included.
