While LG is going all - in this year atCES 2025on arevamp and expanding upon of its QNED TV line , we ca n’t forget what LG is known for — awesome OLED TVs that present top - nick carrying out every year . On the surface , the 2025 OLED video stock see to carry on that tendency , with some nice added advance to light output and some added OLED evo feature that should excite gamers .
Although the most interesting news about the OLED wrinkle is more about whatisn’tincluded . There are no MLA ( Micro Lens Array ) OLED gore this year on any model series . permit me say that again : The luminosity - better MLA technology LG introduced with theLG G3is absent from all of the 2025 OLED TV models .
There will always be a brightness battle as OLEDs vie against QLEDs , with the latter continuing to make stupefying issue . To continue to improve brightness level output , the newest cleverness feature on LG OLED evo video is its upgraded Brightness Booster Ultimate technology ( again , without MLA technology ) . It “ enhances light control architecture and light - promote algorithms to achieve light three times high than ceremonious OLED theoretical account . ” The formal OLED models LG is referring to are in the B5 series .
We do n’t yet know incisively what the “ three times higher ” brightness nit measurement will be , or how it ’s achieved — for that we ’ll have to hold back until samples are in our test research laboratory . For reference , theLG G4measures 1,500 nits top brightness . We carry more information on how LG is achieving this excess luminousness without MLA at a reviewer ’s shop in a few months .
The M5 and G5 will also have an upgraded processor , the Alpha 11 AI central processor Gen2 . Last year ’s Alpha 11 AI central processor was unbelievably telling with how it manage the epitome — color accuracy , grayscale tracking , brightness control — so it will be interesting to see how the newfangled mainframe version can improve on the already prima performance . The new OLED evo line bring with it some certifications , as well . The new organic light-emitting diode have get UL Solutions ’ “ Perfect Black ” and “ Perfect Color ” verification and are licence by Intertek for 100 % color fidelity .
LG ’s novel OLED evo TVs will support Filmmaker Mode with Ambient Light Compensation . We ’ve find out ambient light compensation before from multiple mark , where the television set ’s image is altered and tuned to the amount of light in the way , but this will be the first time we ’ve seen it applied to Filmmaker Mode , where the intent is to keep the Godhead ’s aim in various lighting conditions .
The new gaming features alluded to earlier are on the G5 series — 55- , 65- , 77- , and 83 - column inch models — making it the first 4 special K 165Hz VRR TV that is certified by Nvidia G - Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium .
The G5 will also no longer feature a table standpoint for the 55- and 65 - in versions as it did with the G4 , rather leaning into how well it looks ride on the wall . A table viewpoint will be available for an extra cost , or you could opt for the C5 , which is designed as a table top telly .
To not forget about sound , LG ’s AI Sound Pro prognosticate “ fertile , immersive audio with practical 11.1.2 television channel of surround sound . ” AI processing will tailor-make the different audio and video modes to each exploiter . AI Voice ID can identify each user , change to preferred profiles , and adapt its good word and mise en scene based on viewing habit .
This year does n’t look to include a blockbuster unveiling as we ’ve had from LG in the past — such as theOLED TV universal gas constant rollable TV in 2019or theOLED T last year . But we also did n’t do it about the OLED MT until we walked into the LG rooms at CES 2024 . There ’s a lot of nice incremental improvement to LG ’s OLED line this year . We ’ll know soon if there also happens to be a surprisal up LG ’s sleeve to go along with them .
