  • LG unveils high-end OLED TV models for 2025: LG G5 and LG M5
  • LG M5 has a more flexible wireless video transmission box
  • New OLED panels will be the brightest yet, with support for 165 Hz

LG has unveiled its 2025 OLED TV lineup at CES 2025, with a brighter LG G5 OLED TV and an updated LG M5 OLED TV. The latter will have greater flexibility in the placement of the Zero Connect Box, while both will have a brighter display and a new AI-centric interface for its webOS smart TV platform.

For OLEDs, the LG OLED M5, successor to the LG M4, will continue to use the Zero Connect wireless box for its cable connections and support 4K 144Hz with VRR, including certified Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync for gaming. The M5 will also be the world’s first ‘True Wireless’ TV, meaning there is no loss of picture or sound quality over wireless transmission, meaning the Zero Connect box can be placed further away and in more locations than the M4 (but the TV will still have a power cable, so ‘True Wireless’ might be a bit ambitious).

Both the LG M5 and LG G5 – the successor to one of the best OLED TVs of 2024, the LG G4 – will feature an Alpha 11 AI processor, which comes with LG’s Brightness Booster Ultimate technology, which LG claims that this will make the G5 three times brighter than the LG B-series, the entry-level OLED TV. The LG G5 also supports a refresh rate of up to 165Hz, surpassing many of the best gaming TVs out there.

Could we see the brightest OLEDs yet at CES 2025? Reports suggest that 3,700 nits LG OLED panels could be available, which is a significant step up from the LG G4 (pictured) – although we doubt the TVs will reach such heights anyway. (Image credit: LG Global)

LG’s Evo OLEDs will also feature a Filmmaker mode with a new feature called Ambient Light Compensation. This feature applies to models with a light sensor that analyzes the viewing environment and then aims to display the image on the screen “as the director intended” for that lighting level. This new Filmmaker mode was created in collaboration with the creative community.
