Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is OLED evo technology?
OLED evo is an enhanced version of LG's OLED panel technology. It uses a new luminous element that allows for higher brightness levels compared to traditional OLEDs, while still maintaining the perfect black levels and infinite contrast that OLED is renowned for.
How do I use the Far Field Voice Recognition?
The LG C5 TV has built-in microphones that allow you to give voice commands directly to the TV without needing to use the remote. Simply say the wake word (e.g., 'Hi LG') followed by your command to change channels, adjust volume, launch apps, or search for content.
Can I connect my gaming console for 144Hz refresh rate?
Yes, the LG C5 supports 144Hz Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) via its HDMI 2.1 ports. To utilize this, ensure your gaming console or PC supports 144Hz output and is connected to one of the TV's HDMI 2.1 ports with a compatible HDMI 2.1 cable. You may also need to enable Game Mode on the TV for optimal performance.
What is FILMMAKER MODE™?
FILMMAKER MODE™ is a picture setting designed to preserve the creative intent of directors. When activated, it turns off motion smoothing (interpolation) and adjusts picture settings like aspect ratio, colors, and frame rates to match the original film standard, providing a more authentic cinematic viewing experience.
How do I update the TV's software (firmware)?
To update the TV's software, ensure your TV is connected to the internet. Go to the TV's settings menu, navigate to 'General' > 'About This TV' > 'Check for Updates'. The TV will then search for and prompt you to install any available updates. Regular updates ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
Is the 'Brown' color family referring to the screen or the frame?
The 'Brown' color family refers to the color of the TV's frame, stand, or back panel, not the display screen itself. The screen will display content in its natural colors.
Troubleshooting
TV won't turn on or has no picture.
Check if the power cable is securely plugged into both the TV and the wall outlet. Try plugging another device into the same outlet to ensure it's functional. If using a surge protector, ensure it's switched on. Try using the physical power button on the TV itself.
Remote control is not responding.
Check and replace the batteries in the AI Magic Remote. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's sensor. For the Magic Remote, you may need to re-pair it by holding the 'Home' and 'Back' buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
Poor picture quality or blurry images.
Check the resolution settings of your input source (e.g., cable box, console) to ensure it's set to 4K (3840x2160). Adjust picture settings like 'Picture Mode', 'Brightness', 'Contrast', and 'Sharpness' in the TV's menu. Ensure your HDMI cables are high-speed and securely connected.
Smart TV apps are slow or not loading.
First, restart the TV by unplugging it from the power outlet for 60 seconds and then plugging it back in. Check your internet connection speed and stability. You may also want to clear the app's cache or reinstall problematic apps from the WebOS Content Store. Ensure the TV's firmware is up to date.
No sound or low volume.
Check the TV's volume level and ensure it's not muted. Verify that external audio devices (soundbar, AV receiver) are powered on and correctly connected. If using an external device, check its input selection and volume. Go to the TV's audio settings to ensure the correct sound output is selected (e.g., 'TV Speaker' or 'HDMI ARC').

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the TV from its packaging. It's recommended to have two people for safely handling a 65-inch TV.
- Stand or Wall Mount: Attach the included stand according to the instructions, ensuring all screws are tightened securely. Alternatively, if wall-mounting, ensure you use a VESA-compatible mount (VESA `Info needed: [VESA mount size]` for 65") and follow the mount manufacturer's instructions.
- Power & Inputs: Connect the power cable to the TV and a wall outlet. Connect your desired input devices (e.g., Blu-ray player, gaming console, soundbar) using high-quality HDMI cables to the available HDMI ports. Note the presence of HDMI 2.1 ports for optimal gaming and high-bandwidth devices.
- Initial Setup: Turn on the TV and follow the on-screen prompts for language selection, network connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), channel tuning (if applicable), and smart TV account setup (WebOS). The AI Magic Remote will guide you through the process.
Compatibility
- HDMI: Multiple HDMI inputs are provided for various devices, with at least one supporting eARC for enhanced audio return to soundbars or AV receivers.
- Wi-Fi & Bluetooth: Integrated Wi-Fi allows for wireless internet connection and access to smart features, while Bluetooth enables connection to wireless headphones or sound devices.
- USB: USB ports are available for media playback from external drives.
- Voice Assistants: Compatible with major voice assistants via the Magic Remote and Far Field Voice Recognition.
Care
- Screen Cleaning: Gently wipe the screen with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with distilled water (never spray directly onto the screen) and wipe gently. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or paper towels.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the TV's frame, stand, and vents with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust buildup.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow around the TV. Do not block ventilation openings on the back or sides, as this can lead to overheating.
- Preventing Burn-in/Image Retention: While modern OLEDs have advanced protections, it's advisable to avoid displaying static images (e.g., channel logos, game UIs, news tickers) for extremely long durations. Utilize screen saver functions and pixel shift settings.
