Welcome to our CES 2025 live blog! We're kicking off with big news from LG.

The company just announced two 4K OLED TVs for 2025: the G5 and the M5. The LG G5 is a follow-up to the G4, the brand's impressive flagship OLED TV from last year, while the LG M5 (a successor to the M4 OLED) once again makes use of a future-facing wireless technology that puts all of the TV's inputs on a separate box, transmitting audio and video to the M5's OLED display with nary a hitch in signal.

And, should these two TVs live up to their pedigree, what an OLED display it will be. Last year's G and M Series models leveraged LG's Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology, which harnesses tiny lenses that refocus light for better overall brightness. It's unclear whether the G5 and M5 will make use of this impressive OLED tech, but I'm sure hoping they will, as it's a serious difference-maker.

Gamers will appreciate that both the G5 and the M5 come with a particularly compelling set of features that includes FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, but it's the G5 that'll catch serious gamers' attention. Its native refresh rate is 165Hz — up from last year's 144Hz spec. The M5 is still holding steady at 144Hz, however.
