LG G5
Owners buy the G5 for OLED picture quality that outperforms their previous TVs, and most say they would make the purchase again despite putting up with a remote they don't love.
What keeps coming up against it
Remote design is divided. Some owners call the redesigned remote a downgrade, citing a plastic feel and a pointer that's awkward to use, while others report getting a different, more traditional remote with number keys and a mute button in the box, and don't share the complaint.

Life with it
The remote is the thing people adjust to, for better or worse. Owners who got the redesigned version describe a learning curve with the pointer and slower menu navigation, while others found a more familiar remote in the box and never ran into the issue. A few owners also keep the TV off their home network by choice, treating that as a normal part of living with a smart TV rather than a defect.
Reliability & repairs
The long-term reliability accounts here are thin: only a handful of owners spoke to it directly, split roughly evenly between smooth experiences and problems, so it's too early to call a pattern one way or the other. Screen scratching and remote control complaints also came up, but from too few accounts to judge fairly.

Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
21 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.
