With superior brightness and pinpoint color accuracy, testers consider the LG G5 the manufacturer’s best OLED TV to date. Although the highly anticipated G6 arrives soon, buyers likely won’t find it at a substantial discount—making the current Greentoe deal on the 65-inch and 77-inch versions of the G5 an unusually compelling opportunity.
Now at $2,197, the previous rock-bottom Amazon sale price for the 65-inch LG G5 was $1,699. The Greentoe deal offers the OLED TV for $1,649, and the larger 77-inch option for $2,299. For shoppers who have been tracking LG’s flagship EVO lineup, this represents the most aggressive pricing seen since the set’s release.
An Unusual WOLED Panel Sets the G5 Apart
The flagship LG TV sets itself apart from most competition thanks to an upgraded WOLED panel. Using a 4-layer design, brightness gets a boost while colors are more true to life. As a result, it thrives in living rooms where ambient light can diminish picture quality—a traditional weakness for OLED technology that LG has effectively addressed with this generation.
According to the Rtings review, the G5’s anti-reflective coating handles moderate glare with impressive composure. Combined with wide viewing angles, the 65-inch or 77-inch screens fit into most setups without requiring a completely darkened room to enjoy optimal picture quality.
On the other hand, some installations may incur an additional cost. The TV ships ready for wall mounting—a clean, gallery-style aesthetic that LG has refined over several generations—but a stand requires an extra purchase for buyers who prefer furniture placement.
Cinema-Quality Performance Meets Gaming Prowess
Bolstered by deep blacks and Dolby Vision support, this WOLED option provides a cinema-quality experience that rivals dedicated home theater projectors at a fraction of the installation complexity. It also impresses as a gaming TV, enhanced by four high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports that accommodate multiple current-gen consoles and a gaming PC simultaneously.
Input lag is negligible, and HDR images avoid appearing washed out in gaming mode—a common complaint with competing sets that struggle to balance game responsiveness with visual fidelity. At a 120Hz refresh rate on consoles, the action remains smooth, even in fast-paced FPS titles where every millisecond counts.
Processor Power With Interface Quirks
As expected with a high-end OLED TV, the LG G5 benefits from an upgraded α (Alpha) 11 AI processor. AI algorithms effectively upscale lower-resolution TV and films, breathing new life into older content that might otherwise look dated on a 4K display.
Unfortunately, that added power isn’t as noticeable when navigating the webOS interface. Reviews have noted that browsing smart TV apps is clunkier than anticipated, with occasional stuttering that feels out of place on a premium flagship. While the picture quality remains undeniably top-tier, the smart platform experience falls slightly short of the set’s otherwise exceptional hardware pedigree.
Other OLED TVs in the LG G5’s Class
When considering alternatives, the Samsung S95F is a natural rival of the G5. Using QD-OLED technology, brightness is also stellar, and a matte coating is better at dealing with direct glare. That said, it’s not Dolby Vision compatible—a significant drawback for streaming enthusiasts—and the LG TV displays colors more accurately out of the box according to side-by-side comparisons.
For buyers who have already committed to the LG ecosystem or simply want the most accurate color reproduction available in a consumer OLED, the G5 remains the benchmark.
Where to Find the Deal
The Greentoe deal on the 65-inch and 77-inch LG G5 OLED TV is a short-lived sales event with limited quantities. Given that LG’s G6 series is expected to arrive at full MSRP without the holiday-season discounts that often accompany outgoing models, the current pricing represents a rare window for bargain-conscious shoppers.
For those who prefer purchasing through traditional retail channels, the TV is also available at major electronics retailers:

With the G5 delivering best-in-class brightness, color accuracy, and gaming features, the decision to wait for the G6 may ultimately cost more without delivering a proportionally better experience—especially at these newly discounted price points.
