‘True wireless’, 165Hz refresh rates, and much more!

LG has expanded its smart tv line offering what it calls the world’s first “true wireless” 4K OLED TVs of the completely new evo M5 series. The new M5 TVs offer wireless video and audio up to 144Hz, and LG claims there is no lag or loss of quality in the audio-visual package. This builds on previous models of the ultra-flagship evo M series, which also offered wireless connectivity through LG’s proprietary Zero Connect wireless box.

While the OLED evo M5 line is certified for NVIDIA G-Sync to enhance the gaming experience, dedicated gamers can instead look at the gamer-focused LG OLED evo G5 series, which brings the usual 4K and VRR support we saw on the G4. Range, but with the refresh rate increased to 165 Hz, a first on a mainstream OLED TV (on TVs 55 inches and above). The Evo G5 also features compatibility with NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. The evo G5 series is also available as a 48-inch model, which is the first in the series.

Powered by the second-generation Alpha 11 AI processor, the OLED evo M5 and OLED evo G5 models are equipped with a host of useful AI features, including adaptive audio and visual modes that respond to individual users, personalized recommendations on the home screen, and voice recognition. The TVs also come with Microsoft Copilot, a user-friendly chatbot for relevant queries, and a dedicated background image generator.

Those who purchase the 65-inch M5 or G5 model or above will also have access to the updated Brightness Booster Ultimate technology, which uses light boosting algorithms to adjust brightness and boost brightness. According to the company, this results in three times the brightness of conventional OLED sets. It appears to be based on quad-stack OLED technology rather than Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, with the latter making up the majority of the feature set of the outgoing LG OLED evo G4 series.

The displays have also received numerous certifications for color accuracy, true black levels and temperature stabilization, including TÜV Rheinland’s “Fast Stability with Picture Quality” certification.

LG OLED Evo TVs are based on webOS, have a smooth home screen, intuitive user interface and Google Home integration. The company is committed to providing software updates over the next five years, adding new features, fixes and other additions.

LG made the first announcement and presented its new lines at CES 2025along with the new mid- and entry-level OLED series, the LG OLED evo C5 (pictured above) and the LG OLED evo B5. Ahead of the Las Vegas presentation, the company announced its 2025 lineup of QNED TVs, which also feature wireless technology, as well as a whopping 100-inch model.
