LG OLED65C5PUA
The LG OLED65C5PUA and LG OLED65C56LA are two premium 65-inch OLED TVs built around LG's latest α9 AI Processor 4K Gen8 platform. Both models deliver stunning 4K OLED picture quality, Dolby Vision support, 120Hz native refresh rates, and advanced gaming features such as VRR, ALLM, FreeSync, and G-Sync compatibility.
