LG G5 OLED evo: Our Pick for the Best Gaming TV for 2026
Alright, so a few of you are going to be mad at me for this one, because I already told you about five different gaming TVs in one post and made it sound like the choice was complicated. It’s not that complicated. If you’ve got the budget and you’ve decided you’re done compromising, there’s one TV on that list that’s actually built to be the answer, and it’s this one.
The LG G5 OLED evo is the flagship, and it acts like it. LG’s alpha11 AI Processor Gen 2 handles the picture processing, and the new light-boosting panel structure pushes brightness up to three times higher than earlier OLED generations, Brightness Booster Ultimate, LG’s actual answer to the one real weakness OLED has always had against bright rooms. Refresh rate goes up to 165Hz with VRR, response time sits at a genuinely tested 0.1 milliseconds, and it’s certified for the newer, stricter ClearMR 10000 motion standard instead of the lower bar most TVs settle for.
Both G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync Premium are in there, so it plays nice whether you’re on a console or rolling with a gaming PC. All four HDMI ports run the full 48 gigabit HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, with Auto Low Latency Mode, Quick Media Switching, and Quick Frame Transport baked in so none of that stuff needs to be hunted down in a settings menu.
Nobody needs the flagship. That’s true of basically every flagship anything. But if the plan is to buy one TV and not think about upgrading it for a long while, this is the one built for exactly that plan. That’s the read. Go check it out, link’s right there.
