The given expression is:

\[
\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{2x^2 + 3} - \sqrt{2x^2 - 5} \right)
\]

### Step-by-step solution:

1. **Factor out \(x^2\) under the square roots**:
   For large \(x\), both expressions inside the square roots are dominated by \(2x^2\). Let's factor \(x^2\) out of each square root:

   \[
   \sqrt{2x^2 + 3} = \sqrt{x^2(2 + \frac{3}{x^2})} = |x| \sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} = x\sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} \quad \text{(for large \(x\), \(x > 0\))}
   \]
   \[
   \sqrt{2x^2 - 5} = \sqrt{x^2(2 - \frac{5}{x^2})} = x\sqrt{2 - \frac{5}{x^2}}
   \]

2. **Rewrite the limit**:
   Now substitute these into the original limit expression:
   \[
   \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( x\sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} - x\sqrt{2 - \frac{5}{x^2}} \right)
   \]
   Factor \(x\) out:
   \[
   = x \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} - \sqrt{2 - \frac{5}{x^2}} \right)
   \]

3. **Apply the binomial expansion approximation**:
   For large \(x\), use the binomial expansion for the square root, keeping only the first term (since \(\frac{3}{x^2}\) and \(\frac{5}{x^2}\) are very small):
   \[
   \sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} \approx \sqrt{2} + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}x^2}
   \]
   \[
   \sqrt{2 - \frac{5}{x^2}} \approx \sqrt{2} - \frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}x^2}
   \]

4. **Simplify the difference**:
   Subtract the two approximations:
   \[
   \sqrt{2 + \frac{3}{x^2}} - \sqrt{2 - \frac{5}{x^2}} \approx \left( \sqrt{2} + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}x^2} \right) - \left( \sqrt{2} - \frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}x^2} \right)
   \]
   \[
   = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}x^2} + \frac{5}{2\sqrt{2}x^2} = \frac{8}{2\sqrt{2}x^2} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}x^2} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{x^2}
   \]

5. **Take the limit**:
   Now substitute this back into the limit expression:
   \[
   \lim_{x \to \infty} x \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{x^2} = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{x} = 0
   \]

### Final Answer:
\[
\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( \sqrt{2x^2 + 3} - \sqrt{2x^2 - 5} \right) = 0
\]
