LG 48" OLED evo C5 4K Smart TV OLED48C5PUA (Renewed)

Overview

A bedroom wall, gaming den or large desk is where this renewed (refurbished) LG OLED fits, with self-lit pixels that switch off fully for deep black. It runs webOS with streaming apps, AirPlay and Google Cast, and its alpha nine processor upscales lower resolution sources.

Pixel-level contrast with gaming features is the reason to buy: deep blacks, very fast response and variable refresh for consoles and PCs. Four full-bandwidth HDMI inputs cover several devices. The limits are a renewed unit with a short warranty and conflicting refresh figures in the listing.

Who it's for

Console and PC gamers, small-room movie watchers and desk setups get OLED contrast and fast response in a compact size. People who want a large living room screen or only buy new should look at other options.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Contrast comes from each pixel producing its own light, so black areas switch off rather than being dimmed by a backlight. Response time and variable refresh govern how sharp fast motion looks in games. Upscaling quality from the processor matters most for cable and older streaming content below its native resolution.
