Is LG worth buying?
LG earned a buy verdict on 4 of the 11 LG products we compared (36%), below the 50% average across every brand on the site. 3 won their comparisons outright: LG C5 OLED (OLED65C5), LG C5 OLED (OLED65C5) and LG UltraGear 34GS95QE-B. 3 are an "it depends": right for a specific buyer, not for everyone. We would skip 4: LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B, LG XBOOM XL9T, LG B5 OLED (OLED65B5) and LG S95TR.
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.

The Best 4K Gaming Monitors: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Gaming
LG UltraGear 27GR93U-B
A solid 27-inch 4K/144Hz IPS that was a great deal a couple of years ago, but affordable OLED has passed it by.

LG XBOOM XL9T
A likeable, feature-packed tower - but for a genuinely large party it runs out of headroom before the others do.
Why we skip it: Least loud and least deep of the four - owners note it struggles to fill truly large or open spaces

The Best OLED TVs: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) · Tech & Gadgets
LG B5 OLED (OLED65B5)
A competent entry OLED that sits too close to much brighter sets to make sense for most buyers.
Why we skip it: Notably dimmer than the C5 and both QD-OLEDs, so HDR highlights look tame

LG S95TR
A big, capable 9.1.5 system that does everything well but nothing best, and it's an older design than the Samsung and Sonos.
Why we skip it: Independent testing finds its 3D imaging and finesse lag the best rivals, especially on music
