The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
LG's C-series OLED has long been a benchmark for picture quality at its price tier, and the C5 continues that tradition. This 55-inch 4K OLED with 120Hz and webOS is the renewed version, bringing the cost down to around $925. LG's OLED panel produces per-pixel blacks and smooth motion handling, and the webOS platform is one of the most user-friendly smart TV interfaces available, with strong app support and a clean remote experience. Connectivity covers Bluetooth and Wi-Fi per the listing.
At 35.3 lb and 9.1 by 48.1 by 29.8 inches, this is a manageable size for a living room, bedroom, or apartment setup. The 55-inch size is versatile enough to work at viewing distances of 6 to 9 feet. LG's C-series generally earns strong marks for gaming with low input lag, and the 120Hz panel handles most titles well.
Five reviews at 4.6 stars is encouraging but thin. Buyers who have received this specific batch have been positive, and the Amazon Renewed Guarantee backs the purchase if the unit arrives with issues. For LG OLED quality at this price, the value case is solid if you are comfortable with refurbished.

Frequently asked questions
How does the LG C5 compare to the LG C4 OLED?
The C5 is LG's current-generation C-series OLED, succeeding the C4. Both use LG's WOLED panel with similar brightness and contrast performance. The C5 typically brings incremental processor and software improvements. The practical picture quality difference between consecutive C-series generations is modest, so the price gap between new and a renewed C4 or C5 often matters more than the generation number.
Does this 55-inch LG OLED work well for gaming?
LG's C-series is consistently cited for low input lag, which makes it a strong choice for gaming. The 120Hz panel supports most console gaming frame rates. The LG C-series supports NVIDIA G-Sync compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium, and includes HDMI 2.1 on the new version. Confirm HDMI 2.1 port availability on the specific unit you receive if 4K at 120Hz gaming is a priority.
What is webOS and how does it compare to other smart TV platforms?
webOS is LG's proprietary smart TV operating system. It features a horizontal launcher bar at the bottom of the screen, fast navigation, and strong app support covering Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV, and others. It is widely regarded as one of the cleaner and more reliable smart TV experiences. Unlike Android TV, it is a closed platform, so sideloading apps is not an option.
