AI Sound Pro technology, integrated into the processor, offers 11.1.2-channel sound virtualization and automatically adjusts balance and volume according to the sound environment. As for the WOW Orchestra function, it synchronizes the TV’s drivers with those of a compatible soundbar LG to enhance sonic impact. The experience can also be extended wirelessly thanks to Bluetooth Surround compatibility.
Gaming performance
Designed with gamers in mind, the LG OLED C5 series supports HDMI 2.1, VRR up to 144Hz, G-Sync and FreeSync. The TV boasts a response time of 0.1 ms, and includes a dashboard and a game optimizer for adjusting settings during the game.

Compatibility with Nvidia G-Sync, AMD FreeSync, HDMI 2.1, Dolby Vision Gaming technologies, and the integration of a dedicated dashboard make this series ideal for the most discerning gamers.
