The follow-up to the OLED M4 from last year – whichI was particularly excited about at its reveal– the OLED M5 is able to transmit signals wirelessly using the Zero Connect Box. But for the 2025 model it no longer needs to be line-of-sight, which was the case with the previous model.
Interestingly, the new box included with the set can even be hidden away – so long as you’re not putting it in, say, a metal enclosure, with LG saying that only wood is advisable. But that’s what most TV consoles are made from – mine certainly is – and means hiding the box away for a tidier visual arrangement.
The whole point of the M5 OLED is that it takes all that’s good about the OLED G5, but cuts the cord – removing the need for plugging in HDMI cables to transmit content to the set. Plugging into the box sorts that for you – making it ideal for wall-mounting. Of course you do still need to plug in a power cable for both TV and the Zero Connect Box, but that’s a whole lot fewer wires to have trailing up the wall.
It’s not only the LG OLED M5 that’s part of the company’s range this year either: the introduction of a QNED9M caters for the LED market it OLED isn’t your bag, offering the same wireless solution via the Zero Connect Box. That joins the OLED M5, which will be available in 65-, 77-, 83-, and 97-inch sizes. There’s no word on price just yet, but the confirmation of a more capable Zero Connect Box is a big fix in my view.
