More annoying is the fact that the TV froze on me a few times while streaming with both Apple TV+<\/a> and Disney+<\/a>, usually when trying to rewatch or fast-forward a scene. A streaming box<\/a> is an easy solution, but I\u2019m hoping LG will address these issues in a future update.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The G5\u2019s Gaming Portal is the only place I couldn\u2019t seem to kill the ads, but the 2025 iteration makes up for it with the addition of Xbox Cloud streaming, alongside options like Amazon Luna, Nvidia GeForce Now, and others. The TV is built for gaming on all fronts, with four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 inputs, support for VRR<\/a> at up to 165 Hz with compatible PCs, and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). Games look brilliant by default, and LG\u2019s Game Optimizer provides loads of customization options.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other ways to customize your experience, including multiple \u201cAI\u201d features such as LG\u2019s AI Picture and Sound modes. AI is a big theme with the G5 (it\u2019s even in the full name), including the new AI Concierge, which is a helpful if clunky navigation tool.<\/p>\n

Speaking of navigation, the new remote is more stylish and more confusing. I\u2019m glad LG kept the Wii-like point-and click-cursor, but the lack of a mute key requires you to hold the volume key down to mute, which I had to look up to figure out. The lack of a dedicated input key also tripped me up until I tried the encircled home key, which pulls up the full input list alongside a dedicated smart hub. In keeping with the AI theme, both Google Assistant and Alexa are supported, as is streaming over AirPlay and Google Cast.<\/p>\n
