I don't understand how a 2021 so-called smart TV that costs +1000$ can have such bad subtitles system for the media player.

1) The subtitles delay can only go in – time. No +. So if the subtitles are too early, you cannot improve it. This seriously makes zero sense. Also, it should be possible to control by 50ms or at least 100ms instead of only half seconds.

2) The font is terribly bad. Not super legible, with inconsistent spacing (the space between letters is sometimes big, sometimes small), and a pretty bad design overall. Samsung allowed to select various fonts.

3) The smallest size possible is still relatively big. Why not give more control options? Maybe selecting the exact size by increments of 2 points instead of 6-7 options.

4)  It should be possible to decide if subtitles have an outline or not, or shadow, just overall more control depending on personal taste and the film one watches. Just color is simply amateurish for this price.

My older and cheaper samsung was so much better on that front. Seriously LG, please improve this in a firmware upgrade. This is not okay for the price of your televisions, it really ruins my film experience.

I got the 77C1 & was surprised with this very basic and easy to fix issues existence, subtitles is low res & pixilated and very apparent in bigger screens, I got some ideas that will improve the experience significantly:

1. At least 5 fonts to choose from.

2. More colors and formats go detailed as possible in adding this feature (opacity, background, window, shadows, outlines,..etc).

3. Find a way to make subs high res or vector as it should be in any media software ever existed I don't know how you managed to mess this up.

4. Font size slider that has more range than the current sizes.

these are some of my suggestions, if I repeated some of the quoted points coz it's important please try to find a solution before ditching the support for C1 to focus on C2 & after

      If I play an MKV video from a USB drive that contains multiple subtitle tracks with correct language tags, will webOS automatically select the appropriate subtitles, for example based on the TV interface language or the country where the TV is being used? Or it will just select first one/makred as fefault?

      So basically I just got a new LG OLED TV (55 inch C5) and my Dad's C4 was seemingly able to display internal or embedded subtitles in TV shows through the built-in media player from external USB storage just fine with some tinkering in the menus.
      But with mine, the subtitles are displaying all of the raw text in the subtitle files in the player, not using the arguments properly at all.
      Pictures included for reference
       
      Is there any way to fix this other than literally doing subtitles for every episode externally, in a seperate file?
      These subtitles work fine when I play from the exact same storage device on my phone through VLC, and again on my Dad's LG TV

      Hello , There is no setting to select subtitles for series and movies, I tried clicking on the colors on the remote, but nothing worked, I poked around in settings and found nothing. I sent several emails to the company, but no response was received. I remember that there was an option in the previous version, who has the same problem and what can be done?

      Debuting at CES 2026, LG’s Modular LG Sound Suite With Dolby Atmos
      FlexConnect Makes Home Audio Simple and Flexible

      SEOUL, Dec. 18, 2025 — At CES® 2026, LG Electronics (LG) is transforming home entertainment with LG Sound Suite, a home audio system that gives consumers unprecedented flexibility. At its core is the H7 soundbar – the world’s first with Dolby Atmos® FlexConnectTM – delivering immersive Dolby Atmos sound that adapts to a room’s layout without complicated setup.
      LG Sound Suite works seamlessly with LG’s premium TVs, allowing users to pair any of its wireless components – including the M7 and M5 surround speakers, and the W7 subwoofer – with or without the H7 soundbar for 27 possible configurations. This flexibility means consumers can create the perfect setup for their space, whether starting small or building a full 13.1.7-channel home theater. And when the H7 soundbar serves as the lead device, Dolby Atmos FlexConnect works with any TV via HDMI, giving consumers the freedom to meet their entertainment needs. LG is also bringing Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to its 2026 premium TV lineup and select 2025 models* through a future software update, unlocking even more ways to enjoy Dolby Atmos.
      Dolby Atmos FlexConnect delivers the simplest and most flexible way to bring immersive Dolby Atmos sound to your favorite big screen. Enjoy astonishing audio that makes every explosion more intense, every song more life-like, every game day more electrifying and every moment more memorable. Setup has never been easier – it’s flexible and intelligently tuned for your personal listening environment.
      Audio is reclaiming its place in the living room as streaming has replaced physical media. Leading platforms now deliver movies, shows, and sports in Dolby Atmos and other advanced formats, making cinematic sound widely accessible. This shift has revived home theater, with consumers seeking immersive audio to match the stunning TV visuals. LG Sound Suite answers this demand with wireless convenience, simplicity and performance, bringing true surround sound back to the heart of the home. With Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, LG Sound Suite offers seamless pairing for streaming and device integration, making setup as simple as enjoying the sound.
      In this regard, LG adds its own layer of innovation to elevate the experience. Sound Follow leverages ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to adjust the listening sweet spot based on the user’s location. When combined with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, this ensures personalized immersion – so any seat feels like the best seat. Additionally, Room Calibration Pro analyzes acoustic characteristics and applies AI processing to refine the sound for a balanced, room-filling audio experience.
      Powering the H7 soundbar is LG’s most advanced processor, the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen 3 – the same chip that drives LG’s flagship OLED TVs. Bringing this proven technology to audio delivers added performance and intelligence. The processor uses deep learning and its Neural Processing Unit to create sound with remarkable precision. With AI Sound Pro+, stereo audio can be up-mixed into multi-channel surround sound, while AI-powered object separation ensures voices, music and sound effects are clear and balanced. The system also adapts audio based on content type for optimized sound across different genres.
      Every component in the LG Sound Suite features Peerless speaker units, a name synonymous with audio excellence for over a century and renowned for high-performance craftsmanship in premium speaker systems. By pairing the simplicity and flexibility of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect with the high-caliber acoustic performance of Peerless speakers, LG Sound Suite ushers in a new era of immersive Dolby Atmos sound.
      “Together with Dolby, we’ve made immersive audio flexible for every home, LG Sound Suite is a testament to our shared focus on audio innovation,” said Lee Jeong-seok, head of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company’s Audio Business Division. “LG Sound Suite combines Dolby Atmos FlexConnect with its wireless modular design and AI-driven tuning, so consumers can create the system they want and enjoy cinematic sound from any seat.”
      “Dolby and LG are unlocking a new level of audio flexibility for anyone who wants to enjoy better sound with Dolby Atmos,” said John Couling, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Dolby Laboratories. “Whether your speakers sit on a shelf or are tucked into a corner, Dolby Atmos FlexConnect fits naturally into any home without the complexity of traditional systems. We’re excited for consumers to experience this new level of audio flexibility and performance.”
      LG Sound Suite will be on show during CES 2026 from January 6-9 at LG’s booth. To stay up to date with all of LG’s latest innovations and products for ultimate home entertainment experience, please visit the

      OLED65G5WUA - brand new.  Direct connection to Router with 350M up and down speeds.  Primary apps are YouTubeTV and PrimeVideo.  Internet line is dedicated and has low latency.
      As an owner of multiple previous LG OLED TV products, I expected better results from the latest generation.
      It seems that any live picture feed of sporting events the picture is very poor.  Tried various picture and advanced options, but ending up having to reset options to factory to watch most other tv offerings.  
      If set on Standard, some faces of fans behind players are not even recognizable.  For golf, the trees have foliage that don't even look like branches.  Most of the players have a glow.  In some live offerings, the crowd members look like cotton ball splotches.
      For 4K, and Prime Movies, pretty good.  New channels, have jagged letters, and poor color representation.
      I was unable to return TV because I did not have the original packaging (which I threw out before testing TV next day).  LG sent out technician from Express who proceeded to imply that my eyes were deceiving me, lighting was too much, too close, too far, etc. etc.  Never saw somebody go out of their way to tell me I am crazy.
      LG will not send out a second technician, as the tech team are convinced (despite real pictures to the contrary) that the TV is fine, and I have no recourse, except to call - at my expense - other certified LG technicians.  They are right and I am wrong.
      What is worse, is if you go in a store, you see the beautiful 4K picture - which is not a live streaming event.   My other OLED tv's do not have this issue.
      I would like to know if there are others with this type of experience.  My only other options are small claims court (the pictures alone would win the case) - and good luck collecting, or eat the large sum of money I paid, and get myself a Sony.
      I have attached one picture - if you will look at the people on the left side or in the middle, their faces are not even recognizable.  This is at 1080P live feed
