Owners keep the C5 for picture quality that holds up as a daily driver, even while some learn to live with a remote and app layer that feel like afterthoughts.
Picture quality is the clearest praise here: owners across different room setups and brightness levels describe the C5 as the sweet spot in LG's own lineup, holding its own against pricier models.
Remote design is divided. Some owners find the new remote small and easy to use, while others miss labeled buttons like input, find the shape more fragile, or fall back to an older remote entirely.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
The remote and the smart TV apps are where the adjustment happens. Some owners get used to the smaller remote quickly, others end up pairing a universal remote or keeping an older LG remote around because the input button lost its label. App performance is inconsistent too: some report zero issues running apps and streaming in 4K, while others run into blocked content or apps behaving oddly.
Long-term durability accounts are thin beyond that. Most of what owners share is about upgrading from older sets, comparing it to competitors, or first-impressions on brightness rather than multi-year wear, so there isn't much here yet on how the C5 performs several years in.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
20 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
