LG OLED evo G5 launches in the Gulf with brighter OLED, 165Hz VRR

LG has launched the OLED evo G5 across the Gulf, including the UAE. The new model focuses on three things: higher brightness, faster gaming support and a flush-to-wall design. It is powered by the α11 AI Processor 4K Gen2 and Brightness Booster Max, claims up to three times the brightness of standard OLED, and supports VRR up to 165Hz. LG keeps its Gallery Design for a clean, no-gap wall mount and adds AI features like AI Voice ID and AI Concierge.

What’s new in the OLED evo G5

LG’s G-series is the brand’s wall-mount showpiece. The G5 pushes brightness and processing while keeping the minimalist look.

α11 AI Processor 4K Gen2 handles real-time scene analysis
Brightness Booster Max targets up to 3x brightness vs standard OLED
8.3 million self-lit pixels with Perfect Black and over 99% colour consistency (up to 500 lux)
Ultra-slim chassis with Gallery Design for a flush finish

The key change is headroom. Extra brightness helps HDR pop during UAE daytime viewing, when rooms are bright and curtains are an afterthought. The new processor also improves upscaling, colour mapping and motion handling, so lower-bitrate streams and fast sports look cleaner.

Gaming features: ready for 4K120 and high-frame PC play

LG leans into gaming with higher refresh support and low input lag.

VRR up to 165Hz for compatible sources
Ultra-low input lag and tear-free output
Self-lit OLED pixels for near-instant response
Works with next-gen consoles and high-end PCs

If you use a PS5 or Xbox Series X, 4K at 120 Hz with VRR is the sweet spot. PC gamers can push higher frame rates where the G5’s VRR range helps. For a primer on what you’ll actually notice with 120 Hz and VRR on consoles, see our guide on which PS5 to buy in the UAE that explains 4K/120 and VRR benefits in plain terms (yes, it applies to TVs too). Gamers interested in fast displays should also check out LG UltraGear OLED monitors with 480Hz refresh rates and 0.03ms response.

Picture quality: deeper blacks, stronger highlights

The G5 sticks to OLED’s strengths while addressing brightness.

Perfect Black and Perfect Colour for high contrast
99% colour consistency in bright rooms (up to 500 lux)
Wider highlight detail thanks to Brightness Booster Max
AI Picture Pro for auto tuning of tone, sharpness and noise

OLED still wins for true black levels. The G5’s brightness uplift helps specular highlights in HDR films and cuts glare during afternoon football or a Netflix binge with the lights on.

Design and installation: Gallery look, no distractions

This model is made to be a wall piece, not a pedestal TV.

Ultra-slim profile that sits flush to the wall
Minimal bezel to keep focus on the screen
Clean lines for modern interiors
“Art on the wall” effect when idle

If you want a clean living room without a chunky stand, this is the one. The thin bezels and flat mount mean less visual noise around the frame.

Smarter TV experience with AI

LG layers in features that personalise the TV over time.

AI Voice ID recognises who’s speaking
AI Concierge serves tailored content picks
AI Picture Pro adapts picture and sound to your space
webOS smart platform for apps and control

These features are useful if you share the TV or want less fiddling with settings. The TV adapts to habits and ambient conditions to keep things consistent.
