LG 2025 G5 Gallery Series w/4-Stack OLED Panel, aka Primary RGB Tandem Panel

Best Buy will also be carrying the LG 97 inch OLED screens for those that do not live by a Value Electronics retail store. I wish Best Buy Magnolia center would place one of those 97 inch 4K OLED G5 series on display. At $24,999.99 that is a ideal TV for home theater setup or someone that is 95 years old and this TV could be their last TV they own over the next 10-20+ years. Some senior citizens would like that 97 inch TV in their bedroom as people get older and are retired they generally watch more TV then younger people. Also younger people that are sports fans will like the 97 inch OLED. Personally I prefer a projector for possible 3D and maybe 8K resolution source material in the coming years. However, the 83-inch LG model is a good bargain at $6,499.99 since that is only $78.31 per inch. The 97 inch at $24,999.99 is $257.73 per inch. Personally, I would rather have a 8K OLED at $35,000+ then to buy a 4K 97 inch at $24,999.99. I believe native 8K content material is coming in 2026-2028, therefore for most people the 83 inches at $6,499.99 would be a better choice. In 2026-2028 someone could place the 83 inch in another room of the house or give the TV to charity if they decide to upgrade to 8K OLED that could cost over $40,000+ in 2026-2028.

It's harder to manufactory OLED’s at 97 inches and larger and that is why that model costs much more. As more people purchase 97 inch models and as technology improves 97-inch models should come down in price as long as there is not too much inflation in raw materials. A 150-inch projector looks very attractive for those that want 3D and other neat features that projectors offer. Value Electronics offers a good selection of projectors to choose from.

What brands of products are Value Electronics not allowed to ship? I know there are some brands and models of consumer electronic products that cannot be shipped, and it's in the store retail sales only. Other products have territory restrictions where cannot be shipped more than 50 miles (Might be Pioneer Elite or certain Yamaha models). Is there a feature on the Value Electronics website that mentions which products can be shipped nationwide to all 50 states and which products are for pickup directly at the Value Electronics retail store? In the Internet age it would be ideal if everything could be shipped to all 50 states.

Wonder if its finally time to upgrade my, main CX to either a G4 or wait for G5 deal....

G4s are so cheap but if there's a noticeable improvement from 4 to 5 seems silly to not just wait for 5 deals

If all goes as scheduled we'll receive LG's first allocation/shipment of the 65" - 83" G5 TV next week.

Interesting comment. I know the underlying technology between OLED and plasma is different with OLED using sample and hold but the comparison to plasma in that way never occurred to me so if plasma was effectively a 600Hz technology then if OLED tv's ever get that high would they effectively be equal to plasma and maybe even get to CRT in motion handling? Or does it not work that way coming back to the underlying technology differences and sample and hold would never look as smooth as plasma and CRT no matter how high the refresh rate gets?

PC OLED monitors are way ahead of OLED tv's with I believe 4K OLED monitors capable of 360Hz (I know for sure they can do 240Hz) and 1440p monitors going up to 360Hz for sure and 1080p monitors doing both 480Hz and 500Hz. Tv's only this year hit 165Hz they have a long way to go to get to 600Hz territority.

DLP projectors have the best motion and use 24Hz for 24fps material for high-end models and lower end models double flashed to 48fps. Higher frame rates for DLP are only used for native high frame rate material like 120fps or 240fps, or 480fps.

With a single 2D projector or dual projector 3D setup DLP is King of motion and displays everything at its native frame rate. Its some consumer projectors and 100% of all consumer flat panel screens that have limitations where there would be an unwatchable flicker at 24fps, and to fix that issue an OLED screen must display everything at 120Hz or higher to get rid of the flicker that the best DLP projectors do not have at 24Hz.

My Pioneer plasma from 2008 displays high frame rate 4K Blu-ray discs at 60Hz to match the 60fps of high frame rate movies. OLED has to double flash that to 120Hz. My Pioneer also displays 24fps material at 72Hz because of limitations of plasmas needing to be 72Hz to avoid a flicker that 48Hz Panasonic plasmas have. The ideal display should output at the exact same frame rate of the source frame rate, but only the best DLP projectors can do that.

I don't know what it is about the DLP technology but any time I have sat and watched I get incredible eye train and any prolonged watching gives me a headache. The same with 3D technology.

Life was much simpler in the CRT days

With a 3 chip DLP projectors there is no rainbow effect or eye issues in 2D. 3D requires 144fps from a single DLP projector so there is no eye fatigue.

It’s the old days of having color wheels that cause the headaches, buying a 3 chip DLP projector does not have those issues in 2D and 144fps 3D does not have those issues. But then one is talking about high-end DLP projectors that are in commercial movie theaters. Almost all commercial movie theaters use DLP projectors, and you should not have this issue when going to a movie at a commercial movie theater. IMAX and Dolby Cinema theaters use two high-end DLP projectors for the best quality. 2D and 3D.

As a person who moved from Plasma to OLED the biggest factor for me was not going backwards with black levels and everytime i see a pitch black screen and can't tell where the hell my TV went im a dark room makes me grin. I think motion handling not being as good was a small trade off for the rest of the upsides and having a perfect black, but given OLED has near instant pixel response when i first heard the motion resolutions similar to LCDs, that did baffle me a touch but in practice it's a bit better than LCDs because of that response time being much quicker on OLED visually.

Had OLED had the motion handling of Plasma with all the rest of the panel upgrades till now, i wouldn't even be wanting any future tech to come along for a "perfect TV" to eventually arrive but such is tech and obviously budgets we have to try get the best bang for buck and seeing LG go from "that cheap LCD company" to the leader of the pack in getting OLED to market whilst still having really competitive pricing on tech keeping up with the rest, i'd be more than happy to make my next TV upgrade another LG OLED.

The side by side Vincent showed with the G4 was ridiculous. Especially when you consider how much the G4 already looked great against the G3!

Actually the same rules and restrictions still exist today.

We are very fortunate to be in the selected group of authorized Nationwide E-Commerce for all audio and video manufacturers we carry, which is all of the premium video brands and many of the premium audio brands.

That’s what I thought. Since there are some items in the Best Buy Magnolia stores where they will not ship directly, and one has to buy online or in the Best Buy store and pick up at the store or at a Best Buy warehouse.

Vincent has given his review and for the most part, i'm pretty impressed with the performance over the G4. Particularly impressed at how much brighter they managed to make it whilst removing the MLA tech thia go around. No doubt it will be back soon enough for maybe even the 2026/27 models depending on how much they want to push the brightness war for OLED.

The only issue really was that edge enhancement and loss of detail in Filmaker mode which needed Game mode to defeat and restore details. Hopefully that sort of stuff can be fixed with a firmware update but also removed from any future models.

Again, a 2400+ nit peak window at 10% is impressive to see in that side by side with the G4. I'm eagerly chucking £1 a day to the side to buy my next model and looks like it will be an LG OLED again.

AV Forums did a follow up video about some elevated blacks the G5 had compared to the G4 and LG have released a new update to try address the issue and made it better, but it definitely needs more tweaks. The brightness level on all the major brands this year seems to be putting a nail in the "OLED isn't bright enough" argument which is great to see.

[punisher]

yeah..but too bright doesn't work either....JMO

I was taken back by the brightness of the G3 when it arrived and now they are even brighter. I honestly like the picture on the E8 I gifted and my C7 in my BR better than the light room up look of these brighter OLEDs. Probably these way too old eyes..lol or just personal preference after so many years and so many different types of tv's over the decades.
