Why this TV has been the go-to for console gamers
The LG C-series has held the top spot among gaming TVs for years, and the C5 keeps that streak going. The Evo panel technology is the key differentiator here: it runs significantly brighter than standard W-OLED panels and covers a wider color gamut, which means HDR content actually looks the way it was intended to.
Beyond raw picture quality, the C5 delivers near-infinite black levels and near-infinite contrast ratio, two specs that make a real difference when you're playing games with dark environments or cinematic cutscenes. Response times are near-instantaneous, which matters more in fast-paced titles than any spec sheet number can fully capture.
For players running a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X, the feature set lines up perfectly. The panel runs natively at 120Hz and can push to 144Hz, all four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, and variable refresh rate plus auto low latency mode are both supported out of the box. If you want to squeeze every frame out of your setup, pairing this with optimized console settings makes a noticeable difference. Our Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 best console settings guide walks through exactly how to configure your PS5 and Xbox for maximum FPS and competitive advantage on a display like this.

What this means for your gaming setup
At $1,099.99, the C5 crosses into territory where it becomes harder to justify buying anything else at this screen size. OLED panels at this price point used to be a rarity, and the C5 specifically has the gaming credentials to back up the purchase: it's not just a great TV that happens to work with consoles, it was built with the current generation in mind.
The 4K HDR streaming performance is equally strong for players who split time between gaming and watching content. If you're deep into a game with heavy visual fidelity demands, this is the display that will show you what the developers actually saw.
