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 C5 series has earned its place as a benchmark 55-inch OLED for most households, offering true black levels, wide viewing angles, and solid gaming performance. This Amazon Renewed listing brings the OLED55C5PUA to market at $1,080, which is meaningfully below new pricing for the same panel.
The 120Hz refresh rate handles both film content at 24fps and faster gaming frame rates without noticeable motion blur or judder. LG's webOS smart platform is reliable and straightforward, covering all major streaming services and offering a clean remote layout. The listed connectivity is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, so wired Ethernet users should confirm availability before buying.
The panel measures 9.1 inches deep, 48.1 inches wide, and 29.8 inches tall and weighs 35.3 pounds. Amazon Renewed certification means the unit has passed an inspection process and comes with a minimum 90-day warranty. With only two reviews on record, buyer history is limited.

- LG C5 OLED panel quality at a lower-than-new price point
- 120Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming and sports
- webOS is a well-regarded, straightforward smart TV interface
- Compact dimensions and light weight for a 55-inch OLED
Cons

Frequently asked questions
How does this compare to buying a new LG OLED55C5PUA?
The main differences are price, warranty length, and condition. The renewed unit costs less but comes with a shorter warranty than a new purchase and may show minor cosmetic wear. Picture performance from the OLED panel itself should be the same, assuming the unit passes inspection.
Is the LG C5 a good OLED for gaming?
The C5 series is a strong gaming TV in general. The 120Hz panel supports high frame rates, and LG's OLED panels typically offer low input lag. Confirming HDMI 2.1 support for 4K 120Hz gaming from a current-gen console is worthwhile before connecting a PS5 or Xbox Series X.
Does this unit come with a remote?
Amazon Renewed products are required to include all essential accessories needed to operate the device. That typically covers a remote and power cable. Original retail packaging may not be included, but the TV itself should arrive ready to use.
