42-Inch Class OLED evo AI Super Upscaling 4K C5 Series Smart TV w/Dolby Atmos & Vision, HDR10, Filmmaker Mode, Wow Orchestra, Alexa Built-in (OLED42C5PUA, 2025)

This is as advertised , beautiful picture , dolby vision,sound is great. Nice and sleek easy to connect , and it's ready to go.. My TV is right by the window. So even with my blinds down in the morning, you can see a glare. Which is pretty common on all OLED, not a game changer for me. The size is perfect for my living room.. As far as gaming goes , I have to wait until my grandson comes over.

TV is great. The picture is amazing, and the sound is great. We did have a problem with FedEx shipping, but the seller was great to work with and offered a discount due to Fed Ex delays even though it was not their fault. I love that the remote uses Alexa voice and I can just speak what show I want to watch. The WIFI connectivity was quick and easy. Many thanks to Laurie and Rita Mae!!

Ordered the tv yesterday, came this am, earlier than I thought! Had to assemble the stand to the tv, directions could be a little better, but figured it out. After mounting the stand, the tv really does need 2 people to put on a stand/dresser. Probably weights about 48 pounds and is awkward to move for one person. There is no manual. Plugged it in, set up the wifi and off and running. I followed a few youtube videos how to calibrate the tv. Glad I did, the live pictures are amazing, the colors are so vivid. I am looking forward to streaming a 4k video, but otherwise the detail is fantastic. In all fairness I do own an earlier version of this tv which is also excellent. The speakers are so good, I may return the soundbar I ordered. I keep this tv in the family room and usually I am the only one watching it for sports. I had a few questions on setup, thank goodness for AI to help out.

Excellent color. As well as the darks being dark. Pretty easy to setup and operate. Comes with several channels and the quality is top notch. I’d buy this tv again!

I really like the television, all in all. It's got a great image and sound. However, the AI garbage you are shoving down our throats is completely unnecessary and adds to the cost. But worst of all is the mouse-like cursor pointer from the remote. Even after I lowered the sensitivity and increased the size, its too hard to use, and it can't be permanently disabled. I am perfectly happy clicking on the outer ring to move through menues. Why can't I disable the pointer? As I get older my hands shake more and using this remote is a pain in the butt. Yes, I can momentarily "turn it off" by clicking the ring, but it takes me to seemingly random positions on the screen, and I have to do it repeatedly through the evening. Please give us a way to turn it off.

Amazing TV! Amazing value! Only downside is that there is no input button or mute button on the remote. If you are on the fence about this tv, just do it amazing pic & sound is way better than I expected (on the 77 at least)

If you rely on headphones to hear clear dialog but still want your family to enjoy the TV through speakers, this is absolutely the one to get. After testing modern TV audio architectures, I want to be clear. LG is one of the last major manufacturers preserving critical analog hardware, and that single decision makes all the difference for hearing impaired users. While other brands have moved to digital only outputs that force an either or listening choice, LG has kept the 3.5 MM analog jack. This allows a simultaneous signal flow that is essential for accessibility. THE WORKING SIGNAL PATH, THE SIMULTANEOUS MODE Unlike other TVs that mute the room when you plug in headphones, LG allows a specific output mode. Internal TV Speaker plus Wired Headphones. ENGINEERING LOGIC Video source goes to TV processor. Path A digital goes to internal speakers, keeping room audio active. Path B analog goes to the 3.5 MM jack, feeding RF headphones. This design preserves the analog circuit that newer models delete, keeping the headphone output path that makes assistive listening work effortlessly. WHY THIS MATTERS Engaging external digital outputs often triggers a system interrupt that kills the headphone feed. By using internal speakers for the room and analog output for the user, you preserve two active streams. The family hears the TV normally. The hearing impaired user controls volume independently. Zero latency, no lip sync delay. WHY LG DESERVES REAL PRAISE LG made a deliberate engineering choice that most manufacturers abandoned. They kept the analog output because they understood something others forgot, accessibility is not optional. By preserving the 3.5 MM headphone path, LG allows real people with real hearing challenges to stay part of the family viewing experience instead of being forced into isolation. Combine that with LG’s stunning OLED picture quality, deep blacks, perfect contrast, and best in class motion handling, and this becomes the easiest recommendation I can make. If you care about both image quality and audio accessibility, this is absolutely the TV to buy. THE ALTERNATIVE MODE When headphones are not needed, simply switch to. Optical Out for soundbar or surround system. This TV is currently the only viable solution for true simultaneous listening. QUICK SETUP GUIDE Plug RF headphone base into the 3.5 MM jack. Go to Settings, Sound, Sound Out. Select Internal TV Speaker plus Wired Headphones. AN OPEN LETTER TO AUDIO MANUFACTURERS Samsung, Sonos, and others that have removed the 3.5 MM analog output Please reconsider your actions. Imagine how difficult it is to be in a room with your family, enjoying a film or listening to the news, and you are straining to follow the action while understanding what is being said. For years, the analog output was the bridge that allowed us to use assistive devices without silencing the room for everyone else. By removing it, and by designing HDMI eARC protocols that ruthlessly cut off simultaneous outputs, you have removed the key ingredient that allows hearing impaired people to enjoy this long time family entertainment. You have built amazing displays, but you have quietly broken the family living room for millions of your customers. Innovation should open doors, not close them.

Incredible television. Such an upgrade from a 15+ year old Sony, which was a great TV. Set Up was a snap. No issues at all. Picture quality is amazing. We are not gamers so we cannot comment on that. Roku was easily recognized. Now just one remote to control it all. SONOS sound bar set up was also a breeze. There is an HDMI port clearly marked for external speakers. WIfe and I are enjoying movie nights, Sunday Football, and all other shows. If you are on the fence with this one, get it. One of Consumer Reports best televisions of 2025.
