UPDATE: Jan. 21,???? ??? 2025, 12:45 p.m. EST LG dropped new versions of its flagship OLED and QNED TVs at CES, pushing discounts up to $1,500 on 2023 and 2023 flagship LG TVs. Several prices have dropped further since our original coverage of these deals on Jan. 16. New deals on several sizes of the 2024 G4 TV have also popped up.

In case you forgot, LG is the authority on cool screens. From a 5K2K bendable gaming monitor to another portable TV to quite a few regular ol' TVs, the brand's CES 2025 showcase didn't come to play.

New LG OLEDs are brighter and zippier than ever

LG has completely switched up its whole OLED panel situation for 2025. Its two new flagship OLEDs, the M5 and the G5, will be lit by a "four stack engineering process" rather than the MLA (Micro Lens Array) panels it had been using. You can get into the weeds on that tech elsewhere on Google, here's the short version: It's a new lighting panel featuring a fourth OLED layer, and that means brightness, brightness, brightness.

The LG M5 will likely be the most expensive TV in LG's 2025 OLED lineup, but not 100 percent for the reasons you're thinking. While it will have a lot of LG's best specs for picture quality, it'll be special in another way to gamers: it can wirelessly display the content you're casting to it from a console.

Equally as exciting (from a performance standpoint) is the announcement of the LG G5 OLED. Cost-wise, it'll likely run a bit cheaper than the M5. But that ranking doesn't take away from the fact that it's about to be a beast for gamers and avid movie watchers, packing a lot of premium value into a price that'll likely feel more doable for the average household.

Noteworthy G5 specs include a 165Hz refresh rate (a rarity in a sea of 144Hz TVs), four HDMI 2.1 ports, and Brighter Booster Ultimate mode to make it pop 40 percent more than its predecessor, the G4. LG also says that the G5's peak brightness is three times higher than that of the B5, which was also announced at CES. Unlike the G4 line, the G5 is LG's first flagship OLED that'll come in 48 inches.

The LG C5 and B5 OLEDs were also announced and, as expected, will be LG's more entry-level OLED TVs.

New LG QNEDs *checks notes* ditch quantum dots

LG hasn't yet mastered QNED like it has OLED, but damn, it is trying. LG's 2025 crop of QNED TVs got just as much of an internal makeover as the OLED stacks did: Traditional quantum dots are out, some tech called "Dynamic QNED Color Solution" is in. LG hasn't given much intel into what this means past the fact that it focuses on a wider color gamut, using fluorescent elements to more accurately convert light into purer, more vibrant colors.

Contributing to a richer viewing experience is a feature called Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro: an AI-fueled tool that fine tunes HDR effects and zoned brightening for each scene. That AI simultaneously keeps tabs on each scene's audio, quickly separating background noise from voices and making those voices clearer.

The most premium QNED of the 2025 bunch, the QNED92, also features a mini-LED backlight. The mid-tier and entry-level models, the QNED9M and QNED85, both feature regular LED backlights in tandem with the new color gamut system mentioned above. Oddly enough, it's the mid-tier LG QNED that got outfitted with the Zero Connect box for wireless console transmission.
