55" same performance as bigger panels?
LG G5
- Thread starter the shadow
- Start date
so no longer is screen burn an issue just Retina burnDepends on your room. If it's dark even a g4 is already too bright
Rtings data is out, the G5 is much brighter, good if you have a bright room
just the 48 and 97 that have odd panels , 55/65/77/83 all the same panel

Thanks for the info, now I'm very interested in getting one.

Considering there is some LED TVs out there that do 4000nits and a couple models that claim 10,000nits, I think TV manufacturers must be investing into optometry because they're definitely trying to make us go blind
Makes two of us , I'm 95% sure I'm getting the 77" G5 this week , even signed up to the my JL card as they give you £300 back as part of the promotion

77" G5 ordered , should be here Thursday ..... Didn't opt fort the protection plus/ burn in protection as that is another £500 on top so hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me on the arse, will be staying well away from those bloody news channels

You know what you need to buy next
As for TV stand what do people use for such large TV's, self standing? I'm using Origin S2 stand this is just about ok for a 65" (even though doesn't say it's supported) but wouldn't want to try and fit a 77"
Would like a 77" but just too tight squeeze and I'd need to ditch my bookshelf pair of speakers as they're the to the immediate sides of the 65" TV

Yer i was going to go g4 but when hdtvtest the g5 was a genertional leap again when hdr content is mastered that high I knew I had the stretch the budget....
Eps on a month I have house and car insurances comming out and the car needs new discs and pads so the CC is looking hot.
Still waiting on the LG cashback to come in even though the application was accepted over a week ago

Judging how bright my G4 goes, where times I'm squinting, I can't see how you'd need more? I guess in daylight conditions I guess?

Got one of these coming to protect against the blinding nits
As for stands the 77" G5 doesn't actually come with a stand ( purchase separately if needed ) so it needs to go straight onto the wall which is where my CX currently lives , I was actually offered an 83" C2 as a replacement but turned it down as would have been a touch too big and it's a good few years old tech wise so gave that one a miss even though I did measure up the space for it to see if it could have squeezed in
I will be putting the 77CX in another room and will need to use the stand for that but as it's a center stand will have to have the screen hanging over the edges of the cabinet

Just need a speaker system if you haven't got one already.
The one in my LG OLED was laughably bad.
Oh that's sorted matey, run a Denon x8500Ha in 11.1 Atmos with 2 x Monitor Audio silver 200 fronts, 1x Silver C150 centre, 4 x Silver FX for surround, 4 x Silver 50 for height and a Silver W-12 .... constantly eyeing up another W-12 for 11.2 as I previously ran 2 Rel subs

Oh that's sorted matey, run a Denon x8500Ha in 13.1 Atmos with 2 x Monitor Audio silver 200 fronts, 1x Silver C150 centre, 4 x Silver FX for surround, 4 x Silver 50 for height and a Silver W-12 .... constantly eyeing up another W-12 for 13.2 as I previously ran 2 Rel subs
Multiple subs are worth it, but you want to run identical subs all round. You don't want to mix and match subs. Also need to figure out good placement around room.
Also rather than having several lower end subs it might be worthwhile to try and get fewer, but higher quality subs, as bigger driver higher end drivers will give more impact, than a couple of Rel T-Zero for example. As no matter the number of T-Zeros, they won't go down to 10hz.
I use a triple subwoofer system with Minidsp HD. Helped a lot getting them all working together, response down to 11hz, and crazy amounts of output.
Not the best placement of subs as not dedicated room, so limited where they can go, and they're huge.

When did you purchase the G5 as currently its saying will qualify after 30 days from purchase which i assume you have passed ? But then says once approved will be up to 90 days until you receive the cash back so looking like 4 months all in ... will have £500 coming back myself from this offer they are doing .
I also signed up for the my JL membership card as they were offering an additional £300 e-gift card with the purchase but from what I can work out need to apply for that one in July.

I'd go with the 90 days they quoted

Ive had mine nearly a week now and can't say I've noticed the high input lag at 165hz , had a few wins on verdansk so it can't be that bad tbh
would like to see another test done on it as from what I can tell its only Rtings that have done a test and recorded a higher number at 165hz and a few FW have been released since then and could have possibly decreased the number, if it is genuinely that much higher then hopefully LG will fix it via firmware updates ....Really am enjoying this G5 though and absolutely no regrets at all , it is a night and day difference vs my CX , much better brightness and colours, and noticeably smoother with the extra 45hz
( only issue is I need to buy longer hdmi cables as they are now all stretched due to the ports being in a different location)
