With support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, the LG G5 creates a cinematic experience within the comforts of your own living room, and AI Super Upscaling transforms all the content that you watch to 4K Ultra HD quality.

LG Electronics Q2 profit nearly halved as US tariffs bite
LG Electronics' preliminary operating profit plunged nearly 50 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, coming in below market forecasts as the South Korean tech giant grappled with US tariffs and weakening demand. In its earnings guidance Monday, the company said it expects to post an operating profit of 639.1 billion won ($467 million) for the April-June period, marking a 46 percent drop from the same period last year. Revenue slipped 4 percent on-year to 20.74 trillion won. The results also undershot the already lowered consensus forecast of 847 billion won in operating profit and 21.47 trillion won in revenue, according to estimates compiled by market intelligence firm FnGuide. 'Amid delayed recovery in consumer sentiment in key markets, adverse business environment continued due to tariff-related burdens from the shift in US trade policy in the second quarter and intensified market competition,' LG said in a statement. LG explained that its flagship home appliance unit, along with its business-to-business segments — including vehicle components and heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC — managed to be profitable. But its media and entertainment unit, which includes TVs and the webOS platform, weighed down overall earnings due to rising liquid crystal display panel prices and increased marketing expenses from intensified competition. The company added that US tariffs as well as steel and aluminum-related duties and logistics expenses affected profitability. In April, US President Donald Trump imposed a 10 percent tariff on all imports effective immediately, separately from his country-specific "reciprocal" tariffs that were delayed by 90 days until July 9. While LG manufactures washing machines and dryers at its US plant, the bulk of the company's key appliances sold in the American market are still produced overseas, including in South Korea, Mexico and Vietnam, which are all subject to duties. LG's heavy dependence on the US market, which accounts for roughly 30 percent of its home appliance sales, leaves the company particularly vulnerable to such tariffs, according to industry analysts. The financial hit was further exacerbated in late June, when the US expanded 50 percent steel tariffs to cover washing machines, refrigerators and other household appliances containing steel components. During the first-quarter earnings call in April, LG said it was considering price hikes for certain products and shifting production of some home appliances to the US in response to the new tariffs. Looking ahead, LG said it plans to focus on its B2B segment in the second half, particularly in HVAC systems and automotive components. The company has been putting all-out efforts into expansion of its HVAC operations, recently signing an acquisition deal with Norwegian hot water solutions provider OSO Hotwater as part of its push into the fast-growing HVAC market.

I played 200 hours on the LG UltraGear 45GX90SA OLED gaming monitor — and it's so good I'm using it as my TV, too
Earlier this year, I found out that the LG UltraGear 45GX90SA is living a secret double life — both as a seriously good gaming monitor and an impressively well-featured OLED TV. But as someone who has used more traditional single-function gaming monitors, I was a little unsure about exactly how much I'd use these additional features. Like, how much would I actually jump over to Netflix on webOS vs just using it on my desktop? Well, as it turns out, after using it as the main screen in my rather tiny apartment, the answer is 'a lot,' and I can 100% see the appeal over the long-term in this being one of the best gaming monitors you can buy. To be able to use the same screen for my day-to-day work and gameplay by night is one thing, but to be able to kick back and enjoy this 45-inch OLED panel as a TV can make this the central focal point of any studio apartment. Being able to dual-purpose this screen has been a revelation in minimizing the aesthetic of my usually chaotic room. But to get there, you need to find $1,700 and the speakers are a bit too tinny for the full binge watching experience. That being said, for the amazing couple of weeks I had using this over a TV taking up way too much room, this is a great buy. LG UltraGear 45GX90SA Price $1,699 / £1,499 Display 45-inch Resolution 3440 x 1440 pixels Aspect ratio 21:9 Refresh rate 240Hz Response time 0.03ms Panel type OLED Dimensions 39.1 x 26.1 x 13.3 inches Weight 41.7 pounds Yes, it's rather heavy, so two people are definitely needed. But outside of the weight, setting it up as a cinch. Once I fired up the 45GX90SA in my bedroom, my living room was a distant memory and studio apartment living made sense. Let's get to the obvious bit this has to do well — pack a good picture, and oh boy the 3440 x 1440-pixel OLED screen is gorgeous here. Monitor LG UltraGear 45GX90SA Alienware AW2725Q Average brightness (nits) 537 334 DCI-P3 color gamut (% - closer to 100% is better) 79.2% 129.3% It's the kind of numbers you'd expect when paying a big price for the screen — strong color accuracy, big brightness and immersive HDR. Whether it's bright and colorful games like the fast-moving surroundings of Mexico in Forza Horizon 5, or the neon-soaked streets of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077, this is simply a mesmerizing trip with every frame. Plus, things are kept buttery smooth and responsive with a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, which all comes without a hint of that OLED flicker you see on other gaming monitors of this caliber. Top it off with color accuracy that gives you confidence in your creative work, and you're onto a winner. But there's a whole second mode here too. Thanks to the implementation of webOS here, this is a pretty fully-featured smart TV. Off the rip, you've got all your usual streaming suspects included and even some cloud gaming. Basically, this meant I could shut down the power-hungry PC and watch my favorite shows (and even have a sample of some games) without needing to run up the electric bill — all while making the most of that inky OLED screen. Because at the end of the day, I don't need an RTX 5070 Ti whirring in the background to watch 'Love Island USA' with my fiancée and dish. This makes the 45GX90SA what I will call the optimal everything screen: something that fits multiple purposes just great, and can be expanded with the LG content store with more apps down the line. Also shout-out to the LG remote. Not only is it a cinch to use for navigating webOS with preset buttons for the most popular streaming services, but it's infinitely easier to tweak monitor settings for your gameplay over using the built-in buttons and joystick. But as I went from firing up my favorite games and getting work done, to binge watching to my heart's content, two things felt a bit off with the LG UltraGear 45GX90SA. Not much more I could say about this beyond that subheading. For its weight and size, I was expecting there to be at least a little more oomph to the speakers on here — especially important given you're billing this as both a desktop monitor and smart TV-esque hybrid. That's not to say there's clarity here. Even at high volumes, there is no sign of distortion, and for monitors, that should be applauded. However, the bass is lacking here to really make dramatic moments of games and movies really land. The retail price of the LG UltraGear 45GX90SA is a steep one — nearly $1,700. I know that you're getting something mightily impressive here that can do double duty. But of course there are some lower cost options kicking about that could do the job too, as well as just getting a regular monitor and using the PC connected to it for all your streaming needs. Yes, I'm aware that webOS is not necessary, but it does create good separation and keeps the power demands down. At its core, the LG UltraGear 45GX90SA is a phenomenal gaming monitor — packing vivid color production, a buttery smooth refresh rate with rapid response time and an impressive brightness that really brings that deep 800R curve to immersive life. But it's so much more than that. With impressive connectivity, it can be the central hub to all of your devices, and in one fell webOS swoop, it has the size and capability to be your main screen in a studio apartment (or an ultimate distraction at your desk when you're supposed to be working…sorry boss). Though it isn't completely blemish free. The speakers are pretty tinny, and at $1,699, it's a pricey purchase. But I can't ignore that this is one of the most fully-featured gaming monitors I've ever used — great for tiny dwellers and gaming enthusiasts alike.

There's no way! The LG C5 OLED just got slashed by $900 on Amazon
Prime Day deals are almost here, bringing steep discounts on some of our favorite TVs. But why even wait when some serious savings can already be had on brand new TVs? Right now you can get the 65-inch LG C5 4K OLED TV for $1,796 at Amazon. That's $900 slashed on one of LG's newest TVs, a discount bringing it down to its lowest price yet, but it won't last for long as it's labeled a limited time deal so you'll have to act fast. The LG C5 OLED has arrived. It's marked as one of our favorite value TVs and a brilliant OLED for those looking to save a little on the more advanced screen. With the C5, you get tons of gaming features, including a 144Hz refresh rate built on four total HDMI 2.1 ports. LG's webOS platform also has a slew of free channels to dive into as well as cloud gaming platforms. 42" for $1,19648" for $1,29655" for $1,496 77" for $2,99683" for $4,796 The LG C5 OLED TV is one of the best OLED TVs of the year and it's an instant hit for gamers. It's built on a 144Hz refresh rate with LG's Alpha a9 AI processor, which is at the heart of its incredible upscaling potential. I saw the C5 OLED earlier this year at an event held at LG's facilities in New Jersey. LG had two LG C5s side-by-side playing the same baseball content, but one was playing in 720p while the other was in 4K — and it was genuinely impossible to tell which one was which. That's a testament to its upscaling chops, and it only gets better the more you dive into its features. Through webOS, its TV interface, you have tons of free channels to dive into along with some of the best cloud gaming services. Its gaming prowess is made all the better when you take into account its 9.1ms of input latency in tandem with a slew of other features, like AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync. This makes it ideal for everything from the PS5 Pro to a powerful gaming PC, and it helps that the C5 comes in a range of varied sizes. This is a rare deal on a brand new display, so act fast if it's something you're looking to get your hands on. But if it's a bit too much out of your price range, you can always check out our ongoing early Prime Day deals page for even more savings on TVs and the like.
