Two new high-end LG TVs hung on the wall in the demo room at CES 2025, flaunting new features that promise brighter, clearer color, improved gaming and — for one TV, the M5, a “wireless” experience that strips down everything except the power cord. Â
Both the LG G5 and M5 TVs for 2025 boast the same 4K panels, feature the company’s Brightness Booster Ultimate, which is 20 percent brighter than the company’s B4 television. They also include the Alpha 11 AI processor, and LG says the screens’ Perfect Color technology will deliver more-consistent color, and they’ve been rated Perfect Black by certification company UL.
LG boasts brightness and color boosts to two new 4K TVs, including the wireless M5 that also promises better gaming.
The M5 features a Zero Connect Box with “visually lossless” wireless connection and support for gaming consoles at 4K/144Hz. It’s worth noting that the M5 isn’t completely wireless — it still needs to be connected to power. In contrast, the Displace TV, also being exhibited at CES, uses a rechargeable battery. Meanwhile, the G5 is capable of up to 165Hz support, and LG says it’s the first TV certified for both Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium.Â
The TVs support Filmmaker Mode with Ambient Light Compensation, which adapts the picture according to the lighting conditions of the room. The screens also offer a number of AI features, including an AI chatbot for troubleshooting TV problems and improving picture; AI-based content search; and AI-generated art. There’s even an AI remote.
The G5 and M5 announcement follows the availability of the transparent OLED T, which sells for a cool $60,000. Though the new TVs won’t hit those stratospheric prices, you can still expect them to cost upward of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. The LG OLED G4Â had the best picture of all the TVs we tested in 2024, and the listed improvements suggest the G5 may be even better.
