Forward-looking: LG G series and C series OLED televisions have long been praised as being excellent for both TV viewing and big-screen gaming. Next year's LG G5 set could be even better for gamers, having just been certified for a 165 Hz refresh rate at a 4K resolution.

Both the LG C5 and G5 have been certified for sale in South Korea ahead of their official announcement at CES 2025, writes FlatpanelsHD. The world's largest consumer electronics event takes place in just a few weeks (January 7 to January 11) in Las Vegas.

The entry in Korea's Institute of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronic Testing's database confirms LG is sticking with its naming scheme for its next generation of OLED televisions.

There are also photos of the two sets in the database. While there do not appear to be any major design changes, it seems that the G5 will still use the brighter MLA OLED panel with a different anti-reflective solution.

What's especially interesting is that the LG OLED65G5 model has been certified for a 165Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution.

The LG OLED TVs are popular with gamers for their features, including VRR compatibility, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Game Optimizer and Dashboard, Dolby Vision Gaming, and low input lag. They also offer 120Hz refresh rates, which was updated to 144Hz in the 2024 models.

There's always the chance that this could be a typo, but it seems unlikely as the model in question has achieved a ClearMR score of 10,000, up from 9,000 on the 2024 models with 144Hz refresh rate. As a reminder, a ClearMR score is calculated as the ratio of clear pixels to blurry pixels during motion.

We named the LG C2 and C3 the best 4K HDR large displays for gaming in this 2023 feature. We noted that the C3 offers unparalleled dimming and the ability to show bright and dark objects close together with no blooming or haloing issues.

The TV gets extremely dark for shadow detail, shows true zero level blacks, and is capable of bright highlights over 700 nits in real world content. It also has a glossy screen with great reflection handling which makes colors pop and HDR shine.

The price will be even higher....so as always it's only for those with plenty of money to burn.

Nah will be same , or cheaper by year end, this segment is highly competitive, Samsung is realising an 83" QD-OLED as well

Look at long term prices - OLEDS getting cheaper, even NOT adjusting for inflation and increased purchasing power

Give me an 8k120 85" with a displayport. All that aside, I don't think that that bump in refreshrate is going to be noticeable, but if it's free I won't argue with having it.

8K is a joke and there's barely any content. 8K TV sales are going down, not up.

I would take 4K/240Hz any time over 8K/120Hz.

I'm not interested in 8k content, I'm interested in a large format display and 4k is low res for the sizes I use my LFDs at.

Anyone ever tell you that thing about assumptions?

If my time on the internet has taught me anything, Canadians and Australians are VERY concerned over America's "trade wars" and how it will affect the price of American goods.

LFDs? As in external help desk software?

I can see exactly where he is coming from though. The vast majority buy TVs for media consumption, and there is indeed almost no 8k content out there, forget about gaming we can even manage 2k without frame drops.

It's a tech forum. If I'm forced to hear about how everyone says 4090s are necessary then you are forced to hear about how I use tech. It's part of the whole "discussion" thing. You certainly are learning a lot of words today. Assumption, discussion... you think you're going to be able to remember all those or is that 4090 of yours causing accelerated brain rot?

Mostly for using high detailed schematics of construction projects in meetings. We use 75-85"4k TVs and the image quality is just terrible for what we need. 8k is nice, but most only display 30hz which makes zooming in and out of certain areas a pain. If it was upto me, we'd go back to prints but those are even harder to find than 8k displays. You really on see 11x17 size prints these days

Breaking New Ground In OLED: Applied Materials Unveils MAX OLED Solution For Bigger Displays | TrendForce News

Applied Materials, Inc. AMAT launched the MAX OLED solution, a patented OLED pixel architecture and groundbreaking display manufacturing technology....
www.trendforce.com www.trendforce.com

read about it elsewhere , but with an overview to other tech as well
Max OLED blurb if believable
Applied’s proprietary solution uses selective deposition to enable excellent pixel placement accuracy, more than doubling the amount of OLED material per area compared to previous technologies. The technology can increase OLED display brightness by as much as 3x and increase resolution by as much as 2.5x, to approximately 2,000 pixels per square inch. The solution can also reduce display power consumption by more than 30% and increase display lifetime by up to 5x.

Gen 8 substrates quite big , so maybe your 8K dream not too far away

LG display is definitely going to 4 stacks , but need to wait to see if 2025 or 2026

With all the new methods, Organics, ways of stopping Organics, heating and shortening life, Blue Pholed etc, I think by 2028 - full TV size true RGB with good BT2020 and high NITs
I mean it this MAX OLED is any good for example , add some new materials , and can be stackable why not . iPhones and Samsung Ultras hitting over 2000Nits now on smaller screens . On watches can have stupidly high NITs

I am also forced to hear how you use inferior non-OLED tech yeah, could not care less. Have been using OLED for like 8+ years now. LCD panels and projectors are trash and I could never go back to this garbage.

8K is a joke and will continue to be a joke for many many years. They even scaled back 8K TV production because sales dropped YoY. Without actual 8K BluRays no-one will care for 8K. People are not buying 8K TVs to look at upscaled 1080p or 4K/UHD and 8K makes little sense below 100 inch anyway, which is 99.9% of TV sales.

If 4K is "terrible" then your designs or crap TVs are the reason.

I think OLED is great , ignoring the LG G4 98" with it's stupid price

The new JVC laser projector DLA-NZ500 for about $6000 list should look fantastic, with many built in features to make use easy , Bright punchy 130" screen, HDR , pretty good contrast , great colour vs OLED top model the G4/M4 83" plug and go , quieter infinite contrast, HDR goes brighter.
Wouldn't say the 130" screen is garbage or bigger if you want . SDR would easily win on projector size alone

This projector would beat many in house movie projectors for sheer vitality .
Plus 1000Nits at 130" probably feels brighter than a 83" at 1600NITS

OLED is far from perfect, but I've been talking about for awhile now how they have gotten cheap enough to become disposable. So let's add "attention" to that list of words you need to learn. And it seems as if you forgot the word "discussion"

And there are plenty of commercial and industrial applications where 8k is incredibly useful. I tried to have a discussion about that and you call my work crap? First off, they aren't MY designs. I build them once they're submitted to me and go over changes that need to be made because of costs or the design simply can't be built.

And, frankly, of you bothered to read anything I wrote then you'd know my desire for large 8k displays has nothing to do with 4090s or Blu-rays. Considering how ignorant you are of what I wrote and the poor attempts at insulting my work, I'm going to assume you are suffering from accelerated brain rot. Remember what I said about assumptions earlier? It's okay if you don't because it's more of an educated guess at this point.

OLED is not perfect, however the best panel tech by far today.

LCD is lipstick on a pig in comparison. There is tons of flaws with LCD. Flawed tech. Has never been and will never be even close to perfect.

8K is not going to be popular without content. Duh. Content is what drives sales. We are speaking about TVs here.

Fact is that 8K TV sales stagnated, then dropped. Now 8K panel production went down. No content. No buyers. Welcome to reality. This is how business work.
