Get the LG C6. It's the newer model, with the same blacks and gaming ports. The G5 is far brighter, so grab it instead if it's the same price and your room gets daylight.

What owners say
Verified buyers only; every 1–3 star review read by us. How we do this
LG C6
Owners love the picture and sound. The two low ratings are about Wi-Fi drops and a screensaver locked behind an LG subscription.
- Excellent picture and sound
Nothing came up often enough to list.
LG G5
Owners love the picture, and many say it's the best TV they've had. Complaints are rare: a few faults, and the menus and remote.
- Stunning picture and colour
- Slim, and sits flush on the wall
- Good sound for a TV
- A fault: overheating, the bezel coming away, HDMI-ARC not working or stuck in an update
- The menus, remote or missing apps (no teletext, no Google TV apps)
