This mode detects your surroundings’ lighting conditions and automatically adjusts image settings while preserving the filmmaker’s intent. The OLED evo G5 models also include an option to triple brightness levels with AI assistance through Brightness Booster technology, promising a more vibrant and realistic viewing experience.
gaming-ready features
The OLED evo G5 series supports variable refresh rate (VRR) at 4K resolution up to 165Hz and comes certified with NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium. While there hasn’t been any mention of improved brightness in game mode—an area where LG traditionally lags behind competitors like Samsung and Sony—the gaming community might find consolation in other upgrades.
