I want to buy a new TV. Is a LG OLED C5 any good or should I go for something else? Unfortunately I only have room for a 42 inch TV.

Not sure about C5 but I have been using C3 42" as my monitor for couple years now and love it.

How's the panel quality? I love my C3 but the damn dead pixels piss me off!

Haven't had me any issues so far at least and I use it quite a bit daily.

I'm seriously LTTP because I've just bought my first ever OLED TV. I guess it's an entry level - LG B5. I've never even had 120hz/VRR support TV before.

Anyway, first impressions are really positive. There are quite a few 40hz games on the Pro that I've tried and are mostly great. Starfield at 40hz is superb.

I've also tried 120hz mode on GT7 and it's fantastic. The only trade off I've noticed is the loss of RT, but I can live with that.

I don't think the picture is as sharp as my previous Samsung TV, but it more than makes up for it with the colours, and the pure black.

Went back and got LG G5 again. This time for very much reduced price. Previously (before i returned it) i got it for $2050 which already was nice promo. But this time i got it for $1300. For such price it is imo worth it. Especially since i sold my C1 for $350 so total $950 for me.

Since my review last year some time went by. In that time LG fixed a lot of stuff with firmware updates it seems. I also managed to get Dolby Vision working under Windows 11.

I will do another review in week or two to see how things have changed.

Nice, what size?
And did you wall mount it or somehow got a stand for it?

Having had my LG OLED TV for a few weeks now, I can confidently say that I am really impressed with it. It took a while to get everything set up to how I like it, but everything looks great now, whether that be games,TV or films. I was a bit worried about the reports that sun glare greatly affected the B5 model, but I haven't noticed any difference to my previous TV. Then again, I live in the UK, so sun glare is a rare phenomenon.

I just need to pick up a decent soundbar at some point and I'm set really. If anyone has any recommendations I'd be interested to learn of them.
