Pro The Pros: What Redditors Love
Like great image processing 2026-01-22
Why not the LG C5? Same price as the S90, great image processing, great for gaming, Dolby vision and its OLED
Like Best for movies and gaming 2026-01-18
I know you don’t have it as an option, but take a look at Sony offerings if you can. The Bravia 8 II OLED in my opinion is the best of the bunch for movies and some gaming. Outside of that, the 65” S90F in Europe gets the QD panel - though verify before purchase of course - and that is absolutely superior to the LG C5 offering in virtually every review out
Like Better in bright room 2026-01-06
Samsung s90f or lg c5 would be your best options the s90f is better in a light controlled/dark room The lg c5 will probably be a bit better in a bright room But note that lg has Dolby Vision which samsung doesnt and the lg has better upscaling
Con The Cons: Real-World Issues
Complaint Pinkish band issue 2026-02-27
LG C5 White uniformity issue Hi everyone, I'm looking for some feedback on my new 55" LG C5. I'm noticing a significant pinkish band across the center of the screen, with greenish/cooler hues at the top and bottom. It's quite prominent on-axis and shifts dramatically with vertical movement (height shift). Unfortunately, LG support already hit me with the "within spec/technology characteristic" response, but it's very distracting in real-world content especially during winter/bright scenes (as seen in the attache
Complaint Direct reflections and glare 2026-02-27
Glare and reflections in C5 vs S90F Hello! I recently bought a LG C5 and really enjoy the picture quality. However, the direct reflections and glare during the day are pretty distracting and noticeable. Even at night or with the blinds drawn, I can still see a pretty visible reflection of any light source, even if minor. Since I'm still in the return window, I am considering returning and getting an S90F, since Rtings lists it as having better reflection handling (even at the cost of raised black levels, which I c
Complaint When Was Considering Which 2026-02-23
When I was considering which model to buy: - c7k is generally good in person, but I saw some blooming Vs lg C5 even in store environment - c8k looked very good, practically no visible blooming (but it still will lack in scenes like star field or you will see some clouding In very dark scenes with a lot of lighter details). Also Vs lg C5 the colour volume was lacking a little bit. - c9k has noticeable better colour volume (I did not see noticeable differences Vs C5) has +80% of dimming zones compared to c8k but sti
Complaint Quality control issues 2026-01-01
I've just bought my first OLED TV, I was stuck between the S90F (WOLED) and the LG C5 both being well reviewed TVs. I ended up settling with the C5 as quality control issues with the Samsung kind of put me off. I do know that the C5 had issues with bad input lag while playing games using HDR, I was wondering if this issue is still persistant as I can't find any other information about it. The TV will be for both gaming and movie watching but I think the main focus would be gaming. If the issue still exists I think
