2 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The LG OLED48C5PUA is the 48-inch variant of LG's C5 OLED line, one of the most acclaimed OLED series available for its combination of picture quality, smart features, and gaming capability. This renewed listing brings it to around $900, below typical new pricing for the same model. The 4K OLED panel at 48 inches is a compact format that works particularly well at closer viewing distances, making it popular for bedrooms, gaming setups, and smaller apartments.
WebOS is the smart platform, covering all major streaming apps with a clean interface. The 120Hz panel with LG's typical low input lag characteristics makes this a capable gaming display despite its compact size. Connectivity is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi only per the listing, which means wired Ethernet users will need a workaround. At 37.0 lb and 9.1 by 42.2 by 26.6 inches, it is easy to move and mount.
Two reviews at 5 stars provides almost no basis for buyer sentiment analysis. The Amazon Renewed Guarantee is the main protection mechanism here. For those who have decided they want a 48-inch LG OLED and are comfortable with renewed, the price point is the main draw.

Frequently asked questions
Is a 48-inch OLED a good gaming monitor alternative?
The 48-inch OLED C-series is frequently used as a large-format gaming display, especially at desk distances of 3 to 5 feet. OLED's near-instant pixel response, per-pixel black levels, and 120Hz panel make it a compelling alternative to a traditional gaming monitor. The main concern for gaming use is static-element burn-in risk from persistent HUD overlays, which is manageable with display modes designed to shift or dim static elements.
What is the viewing distance for a 48-inch TV?
For 4K content on a 48-inch panel, a comfortable viewing distance is roughly 4 to 7 feet. At 4K resolution, you can sit closer than you might expect without the pixel structure becoming distracting. This makes 48 inches ideal for smaller rooms or setups where seating is closer to the screen than in a typical living room.
How do I connect this TV to wired internet if there is no Ethernet port listed?
If Ethernet connectivity is important to you, a USB-to-Ethernet adapter can work with some LG smart TVs, though compatibility varies by model. Alternatively, a Wi-Fi connection on a strong 5 GHz network is sufficient for 4K streaming. Check the specific model's port configuration before assuming Ethernet is unavailable, as listing data can sometimes be incomplete.
