There is no doubt that this TV is fantastic, read any review or do any research on this TV and it wins the review. It isn’t hard to see why, you can tweak the options for the picture until it really does look incredible.However, that said I only gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I am very happy with the TV and although technically, and feature-wise, it is outstanding there are some basics that are just silly.The CableThis TV comes with a pre-attached, which is about 2 meters long this model OLED65C26LD (white back) the wire that goes inside the TV. You would need to take the TV apart to disconnect it. I believe that the other model the OLED65C24LA (black/grey back) may to have a cable that you could *possibly* reach without taking the TV apart.

You would need to take the TV apart to disconnect it. I believe that the other model the OLED65C24LA (black/grey back) may to have a cable that you could *possibly* reach without taking the TV apart. Additionally, if you could get the lead out it is some LG specific cable (if you look at the dismantling instructions on LG’s website you can see how to disconnect the cable).The cable could have simply been something like a C7 cable that fits flush into the back of the TV, where the existing lead is, as this would be easily disconnected and replaced with a longer one if required.Initial SetupOn initial setup the TV asks if you are watching a variation of TV Only, TV and Set-Top box. It would have been nice to have a Home Theatre selection at this point as I would think that many people buying a TV at this price would have an AV Amp in a Home Theatre setup However, if you are using a Home Theatre system you need to select TV and Set-Top box and then when your device is detected you need to ensure that you select Home Theatre, rather than Sound Bar or any of the other settings that it suggests. While this is very simple to do at initial setup time. It seems that if you just go with what it has detected it seems impossible to change it afterwards (I had to do a factory reset to be able to set the TV up again and get a picture via the AV AMP).Once you have configured the TV correctly then setup is pretty simple after that, even if you are using a Home Theatre system with ARC/eARC.ScrewsThis TV requires M6 25mm screws at the back, this information doesn’t appear to be listed in easy to find places. The manual states that it is an M6 but only when I had the TV could I measure the depth to know that a 25mm screw would go in far enough but not too far.The ControllerThe all the buttons on the controller are black backed and are hard to see in low light they do not light up, they do not glow in the dark and they’re not even silver. It would have been nice for the buttons to be visible in low light situations.

I started this whole OLED screen for a computer monitor back when the LG CX released, and used it exclusively as a computer monitor for gaming and movies, I did not use it for static work like photo and video editing, until now when I got this 42" OLED. Now my main monitor is the 48" CX (with all the usual precautions, dark backgrounds that change every few minutes, no taskbar, no desktop icons etc) and the 42" is now my small OLED gaming and movie only monitor. The image and motion processing has indeed improved with 2 years difference between the two, but I have some simple things I would like LG to change to really make the future C3, G3 and what was it, the M3? truly market leading screens for the money.I heard about there being a special separate box running ... MoreI started this whole OLED screen for a computer monitor back when the LG CX released, and used it exclusively as a computer monitor for gaming and movies, I did not use it for static work like photo and video editing, until now when I got this 42" OLED.

The image and motion processing has indeed improved with 2 years difference between the two, but I have some simple things I would like LG to change to really make the future C3, G3 and what was it, the M3? truly market leading screens for the money.I heard about there being a special separate box running all the smart functions and making the new C3, M3, G3 (and I guess A3 and B3 for budget 60hz options) smart tv optional, this is a move in the correct direction, and I hope LG will keep it simple and make it so this box is a simple USB Type-C powered and HDMI 2.1 48gbps connected streaming device running the smart WebOS platform, with 4 passthrough hdmi 2.1 ports and 3 usb 3.0 ports for connecting streaming devices to power and display to show up on the these new televisions. Please simplify connecting things to the display like this. Furthermore, I know you won't like me saying this but I and many of your customers want the WebOS to be only in this smart connected device and not part of the hardware of the OLED screen anymore. I think to make this work, you would need 5 HDMI 2.1 ports (one taken out of the box for the connected LG smart device) and besides the 100w power delivery USB Type-C, please, please give us at least two other usb ports that are usb 3.0 and 5gbps.Then please, besides a Wi-Fi 6E network chip, upgrade from the slow 10/100 port to a 10/100/1000 1gbps ethernet port. Streaming services like Geforce Now that you work with NVIDIA with, absolutely require gigabit internet to work at best quality.What I and many others, what we want is for the television to have all the usual menu functions like motion control, game optimizer, picture settings etc but no more smart functions like streaming services built in. To emphasize again, All the smart functions should be in the LG device connected to the new OLED televisions through its hdmi and type-c connections.What I am asking for is for you to make the new OLED televisions both smart tv capable and also easily able to be a simple computer monitor as well. While that 48 inch oled monitor you made is great, many of us actually want a glossy television to also be a PC monitor and that is a selling point many of us chose your OLED tvs for, for the amazing 4K 120hz OLED picture on a glossy panel. I know that its because people want the matte anti glare finish because that is what computer monitors have for many reasons.But for all my praise, I do have some constructive criticisms. I think the new image processor within the new OLED panels, needs to be much stronger to handle motion better. Whenever I used the motion interpolation function to interpolate up to 120fps or the 120z of the OLED panel, it appeared as though it was unable to maintain the interpolated 120fps frame rate and would frequently drop down to what looked like 30fps or less, causing a lot of stuttering and lag. This is obviously due to the image processor being severely underpowered because when I turned off all LG motion interpolation and used one built into my video editing software to compare, my computer's CPU and GPU working together, interpolated the same 24fps movies up to 120fps with no issues at all. Also, about the black frame insertion being limited to 60hz, please bring back native 120hz black frame insertion.I say all of these things because I have knowledge of what your competitors are doing as I work in the industry, you asked me not to mention them so I will not. Do these things that I have asked here, and watch the sales improve far more than the LG CX to the C2 now.I do have one other hardware thing I know that you should consider also regarding your competitors, one already showed off a 32 inch OLED display (as in 32.50" viewable or about half of one of your 65" OLED panels) it would make sense for you at LG to use the leftover 65" OLED panels to make a 32.25" LG C3 a reality, especially with the move to make these displays both televisions and monitors, so they do not become e-waste, making all the smart tv streaming in the LG smart hdmi device is the right thing to do so people can keep using their older OLED panels and upgrade to your new ones as time and money permits people to do so. Please be eco-friendly by doing this.As for how to make these displays work with my ideas? Easy, you know your LG display software called LG OnScreen? How about making it so if I am not using the type-c for the LG streaming box, if I connect a usb-c cable from my computer to the C3 for example, then I should be able to control the screen's OSD and all picture settings through the LG OnScreen software.I know it is your choice to listen or not and let your competitors get to be the first ones to do what I am asking for their OLED television with optional smart device functions . Again, you know who they are and I will not mention them.You know you can do this to make things simpler and so people can have the tv be a monitor like myself and others, and the general public can still have their built in smart functions, please try to do what I asked, I already know your competitors are planning to do all I said here and more, to sell more screens for television and monitors since they know being flexible and catering their OLED televisions for the combined market for both televisions and computer monitors is far more sensible than forcing people to put up with advertisements and smart functions just to have a glossy OLED display.As far as everything else goes, this display shows me the true quality of all the video games I get time to play and also the movies and even youtube videos, all of it looks fantastic on OLED. I will say this especially, going back and playing through old favorite games especially with OLED quality just has to be seen, I know it might seem like exaggerating the benefits of OLED, but I am really seeing details I never saw before on my older LCD panels, mostly because most of them were terrible anti glare matte displays where even at 4K resolution they didn't look all that great, this display is like looking into a window of the game world, it really makes you slow down and appreciate details, especially in a big open world video game. Thank you at LG for these quality OLED panels, I am looking forward to see great things with the new OLED tech you bring with the new panels.

This may be a bit of a long review but to preface, I researched like crazy and went back and forth between this and the new Samsung S95B OLED extensively, and finally fell on the side of the LG due mostly to small differences. However as I've experienced it for a month now, and read even more feedback & reviews of the two, I feel confident that I made the right decision with the LG. Herein lie my findings!The Samsung can get brighter and is apparently more color accurate, but personally I wouldn't notice the color accuracy anyway (I'm not a colorimeter, and have some issues discerning colors anyway - thanks a lot, Norwegian genes!), and the LG is plenty bright enough - even with some ambient light - for me and my spouse. In a darkened room it is often *too* ... MoreThis may be a bit of a long review but to preface, I researched like crazy and went back and forth between this and the new Samsung S95B OLED extensively, and finally fell on the side of the LG due mostly to small differences. However as I've experienced it for a month now, and read even more feedback & reviews of the two, I feel confident that I made the right decision with the LG. Herein lie my findings!The Samsung can get brighter and is apparently more color accurate, but personally I wouldn't notice the color accuracy anyway (I'm not a colorimeter, and have some issues discerning colors anyway - thanks a lot, Norwegian genes!), and the LG is plenty bright enough - even with some ambient light - for me and my spouse. In a darkened room it is often *too* bright, and I have to turn the pixel brightness down a bit (except on HDR content, gimme that infinite contrast and highlights!!). So, it came down to other differences for me.The Samsung has had some issues, as is often the case in the first version of a product. The LG is now Gen 3 of this particular model and an evolution (it's even in the name!) of all their past OLED models. I feel far more confident with it despite some small annoyances.Reviewers and buyers have noted the remote on the Samsung was a bit too sparse and required a lot of menu diving, whereas the LG's remote is a bit too busy button-wise, but has the "magic remote" feature of the on-screen cursor, and has non-IR communication so you don't have to point at the screen. Having previously used a newer LG LCD with the magic remote for a time I was sure I'd prefer it again as I found it pretty intuitive. Well, it turns out that the cursor has lost it's luster for me and it still requires plenty of menu diving for settings anyway, so the difference there was moot after all.The lack of DTS support on the LG has been a bit of a pain for me personally due to my particular setup, and it might well be for many others as well. I won't get into it but short of buying a new HDMI 2.1 receiver it will continue to be a bit of a pain point that seems unnessesary. Apparently next year's models will bring back some form of DTS IMAX decoding, but possibly not all of the DTS codecs - so that may still be an issue for some.DolbyVision may be a plus on the LG which is missing on the Samsung, but I don't know how it really differs from regular HDR content anyway, so who knows. It seems a little gimmick-y with not a lot of content having it anyway. Netflix is backing it hard, but I don't see a big difference. Most will be fine with other HDR protocols I'm sure. Some people even say DV seems dimmer and/or has some issues with handshake with displays as well, so it's not really an advantage having it over the Samsung, I feel.As is the case with either brand, in order to get HDR/DolbyVision, full 4K resolution, and better audio formats, you will have to upgrade your streaming services - so expect an extra cost there, unless you're only watching blu-rays or downloading your content, which basically negates the convenience of streaming nowadays. I download a good chunk of my "critical viewing" content anyway, but it can be a pain, and many won't, period. It would be nice to just have the better resolutions and features included with the many subscriptions we're already paying quite a lot for, but I digress...So this brings us to the main dealbreakers with the Samsung - there are seemingly an alarming number of reports of build-quality issues the most egregious of which are bent screens(!), and questionable screen reliability, which the LG has mostly escaped it seems. Some people have panel uniformity and screen issues with the LGs, but it seems to be far less than reports of issues with the Samsungs, and I've had zero issues with my LG so far personally. Even when looking at test patterns and such that many won't bother with. The most important thing here is that I've detected zero flaws, no build quality issues whatsover (and the unit looks stunning, vs a bit clunky with the Samsung IMO). The picture is stunning, and it still wows me when I game or watch full 4k HDR content. Lower resolution is often noticeably worse looking, but this *highly* depends on the source quality.I came from a Samsung F8500 plasma, and also a Panasonic LCD projector with a 120" image projected on a 0.9 Gain screen, which was awesome for the grandeur - but in my blacked-out basement at the time the grey-blacks drove me nuts in comparison to the plasma. Then again if I went with a negative gain screen (gray or near-gray), I would have further sacrificed it's already somewhat mediocre brightness for better blacks; so I had to choose the lesser of two evils there. Also just FYI, I paid roughly the same for each of those 10 years ago or so as I did for this LG in December. That seems to be my comfort price-point.The plasma for the most part looked better on SDR than the LG OLED in some ways (besides the blackest of blacks, which the OLED absolutely kills at) and with fast movement, but it simply can't compete for color gamut, brightness, higher resolution (limited to 1080p of course), and obviously no HDR. Beyond that, the F8500 was over double the weight, sucked power like it was a keg at a frat party, got so very hot, and buzzed quite loudly (likely due mostly to our altitude, but still it was an extremely annoying common issue with plasmas) - and that was considered one of the best plasmas on the market, period!So, I happily welcome the new future of displays. I've been looking forward to affordable and good quality OLED for more than 10 years now... and LG is still competing fairly well despite resting on their laurels a bit. The next version is expected to be better in a fair number of ways, but I felt I waited long enough and historically low prices on these forced my hand on this C3 at Christmas. The new micro-LED OLED and other technologies are promising but will need some time to work out some kinks as well. Things like user interface, ads, etc may or may not improve over time, but basically any display you buy these days will have it's own issues with those. I feel I picked a good entry point at this time.As it is I feel pretty spoiled anyway, having grown up with old heavy CRT screens... we have here a pretty top-class image in a razor-thin screen that weighs 35lb for a 65" without the stand - which can be supported by a single-stud extension mount no problem (rated for twice that weight to be safe). I fully did *not* expect to be able to carry a 65" screen with all the packaging by myself, and only needed an extra set of hands to place it on the mount. With that, I get a brilliant theater-quality (or better) image with almost no frame floating on my wall... in other words, we've come a long way, baby!My only caveat is that If I had the spare money for the Sony A95K, that it would be my first choice of current models to know I'm getting the absolute best picture currently possible. But at double the price the value becomes questionable for somewhat incremental improvements - improvements I may not even be able to discern - and unless money is basically no object, it's just excessive at this time. For now the rest of us can wait for the trickle-down of tech, and be more than happy for what we can get for what we're paying these days.Still highly recommended!!

This may be a bit of a long review but to preface, I researched like crazy and went back and forth between this and the new Samsung S95B OLED extensively, and finally fell on the side of the LG due mostly to small differences. However as I've experienced it for a month now, and read even more feedback & reviews of the two, I feel confident that I made the right decision with the LG. Herein lie my findings!The Samsung can get brighter and is apparently more color accurate, but personally I wouldn't notice the color accuracy anyway (I'm not a colorimeter, and have some issues discerning colors anyway - thanks a lot, Norwegian genes!), and the LG is plenty bright enough - even with some ambient light - for me and my spouse. In a darkened room it is often *too* ... MoreThis may be a bit of a long review but to preface, I researched like crazy and went back and forth between this and the new Samsung S95B OLED extensively, and finally fell on the side of the LG due mostly to small differences.

Herein lie my findings!The Samsung can get brighter and is apparently more color accurate, but personally I wouldn't notice the color accuracy anyway (I'm not a colorimeter, and have some issues discerning colors anyway - thanks a lot, Norwegian genes!), and the LG is plenty bright enough - even with some ambient light - for me and my spouse. In a darkened room it is often *too* bright, and I have to turn the pixel brightness down a bit (except on HDR content, gimme that infinite contrast and highlights!!). So, it came down to other differences for me.The Samsung has had some issues, as is often the case in the first version of a product. The LG is now Gen 3 of this particular model and an evolution (it's even in the name!) of all their past OLED models. I feel far more confident with it despite some small annoyances.Reviewers and buyers have noted the remote on the Samsung was a bit too sparse and required a lot of menu diving, whereas the LG's remote is a bit too busy button-wise, but has the "magic remote" feature of the on-screen cursor, and has non-IR communication so you don't have to point at the screen. Having previously used a newer LG LCD with the magic remote for a time I was sure I'd prefer it again as I found it pretty intuitive. Well, it turns out that the cursor has lost it's luster for me and it still requires plenty of menu diving for settings anyway, so the difference there was moot after all.The lack of DTS support on the LG has been a bit of a pain for me personally due to my particular setup, and it might well be for many others as well. I won't get into it but short of buying a new HDMI 2.1 receiver it will continue to be a bit of a pain point that seems unnessesary. Apparently next year's models will bring back some form of DTS IMAX decoding, but possibly not all of the DTS codecs - so that may still be an issue for some.DolbyVision may be a plus on the LG which is missing on the Samsung, but I don't know how it really differs from regular HDR content anyway, so who knows. It seems a little gimmick-y with not a lot of content having it anyway. Netflix is backing it hard, but I don't see a big difference. Most will be fine with other HDR protocols I'm sure. Some people even say DV seems dimmer and/or has some issues with handshake with displays as well, so it's not really an advantage having it over the Samsung, I feel.As is the case with either brand, in order to get HDR/DolbyVision, full 4K resolution, and better audio formats, you will have to upgrade your streaming services - so expect an extra cost there, unless you're only watching blu-rays or downloading your content, which basically negates the convenience of streaming nowadays. I download a good chunk of my "critical viewing" content anyway, but it can be a pain, and many won't, period. It would be nice to just have the better resolutions and features included with the many subscriptions we're already paying quite a lot for, but I digress...So this brings us to the main dealbreakers with the Samsung - there are seemingly an alarming number of reports of build-quality issues the most egregious of which are bent screens(!), and questionable screen reliability, which the LG has mostly escaped it seems. Some people have panel uniformity and screen issues with the LGs, but it seems to be far less than reports of issues with the Samsungs, and I've had zero issues with my LG so far personally. Even when looking at test patterns and such that many won't bother with. The most important thing here is that I've detected zero flaws, no build quality issues whatsover (and the unit looks stunning, vs a bit clunky with the Samsung IMO). The picture is stunning, and it still wows me when I game or watch full 4k HDR content. Lower resolution is often noticeably worse looking, but this *highly* depends on the source quality.I came from a Samsung F8500 plasma, and also a Panasonic LCD projector with a 120" image projected on a 0.9 Gain screen, which was awesome for the grandeur - but in my blacked-out basement at the time the grey-blacks drove me nuts in comparison to the plasma. Then again if I went with a negative gain screen (gray or near-gray), I would have further sacrificed it's already somewhat mediocre brightness for better blacks; so I had to choose the lesser of two evils there. Also just FYI, I paid roughly the same for each of those 10 years ago or so as I did for this LG in December. That seems to be my comfort price-point.The plasma for the most part looked better on SDR than the LG OLED in some ways (besides the blackest of blacks, which the OLED absolutely kills at) and with fast movement, but it simply can't compete for color gamut, brightness, higher resolution (limited to 1080p of course), and obviously no HDR. Beyond that, the F8500 was over double the weight, sucked power like it was a keg at a frat party, got so very hot, and buzzed quite loudly (likely due mostly to our altitude, but still it was an extremely annoying common issue with plasmas) - and that was considered one of the best plasmas on the market, period!So, I happily welcome the new future of displays. I've been looking forward to affordable and good quality OLED for more than 10 years now... and LG is still competing fairly well despite resting on their laurels a bit. The next version is expected to be better in a fair number of ways, but I felt I waited long enough and historically low prices on these forced my hand on this C3 at Christmas. The new micro-LED OLED and other technologies are promising but will need some time to work out some kinks as well. Things like user interface, ads, etc may or may not improve over time, but basically any display you buy these days will have it's own issues with those. I feel I picked a good entry point at this time.As it is I feel pretty spoiled anyway, having grown up with old heavy CRT screens... we have here a pretty top-class image in a razor-thin screen that weighs 35lb for a 65" without the stand - which can be supported by a single-stud extension mount no problem (rated for twice that weight to be safe). I fully did *not* expect to be able to carry a 65" screen with all the packaging by myself, and only needed an extra set of hands to place it on the mount. With that, I get a brilliant theater-quality (or better) image with almost no frame floating on my wall... in other words, we've come a long way, baby!My only caveat is that If I had the spare money for the Sony A95K, that it would be my first choice of current models to know I'm getting the absolute best picture currently possible. But at double the price the value becomes questionable for somewhat incremental improvements - improvements I may not even be able to discern - and unless money is basically no object, it's just excessive at this time. For now the rest of us can wait for the trickle-down of tech, and be more than happy for what we can get for what we're paying these days.Still highly recommended!!
I can clearly see why this TV has won so many "Best Of 2022" awards. That is what drew me to this TV when I was researching what to replace my 12-year old Panasonic 65" Plasma TV (Yes, a Plasma TV has lasted 12 years and still going!!). When I first powered it on and saw the picture, I was kind of stunned. I had actually been complaining to my eye doctor recently about having to squint and blink my eyes a lot to clear up while watching TV. I thought my vision was getting worse, but my test results never showed that. I can now say those issues are resolved with this TV! Sometimes, depending on the lighting of a scene, etc., you could almost swear that the people on screen were right in the room with you. The depth of color and contrast makes scenes look ultra ... MoreI can clearly see why this TV has won so many "Best Of 2022" awards.

Sometimes, depending on the lighting of a scene, etc., you could almost swear that the people on screen were right in the room with you. The depth of color and contrast makes scenes look ultra realistic.There is no perceivable jitter, pixelating or blurring when watching sports or action scenes. It also outputs and handles sound to my stereo equipment much better, even sound is much better and clearer and sharper. It is kind of a splurge, but the picture and sound will surely delight you. I am only about a month in so far and still finding all kinds of functionality. Side note - you can only get descriptions of ALL the functionality by pulling up the Online user guide from the LG site, the documents you get with the TV are very rudimentary. The "Magic Remote" works perfectly as a streaming remote and feels very natural to the hand and button placement. I'm not totally sold on the "Wii-like" floating pointer/cursor functionality, I use it sometimes, but most of the time I disable it, which you can do with a simple click. It is a lot more useful when choosing characters to input in search or sign-in. There are only two downside I've noticed so far. One is, about every week or 10 days, when powering up the TV first thing in the day, it will complain that "Wireless signal is unstable" and insist you need to connect again, but streaming services work perfectly fine, and when you go to Settings and look, it is clearly connected to a network name on the router. My suspicion is that, apparently, for some reason sometimes the wireless connection upon start up gets delayed or is slow to report its status back to the TV, and you are getting a false error message. I've never experienced similar connection confusion on start up using a Google or Amazon streaming dongle on other TVs, it just seems to be kind of a quirk, but not really a big deal. The other thing is that, if you get hooked on the "LG Channels" the TV offers, I have also noticed that, a couple of times, that service has just shown as "Unavailable" for hours at a time, but again, the wireless connection is good and streaming and everything else works. The "LG Channels" are a subset of Pluto TV that I guess LG licenses and bundles on its sets. It is good as a "time passer" or "background noise". The only thing I can surmise is that, a couple of times, LG has had server or network issues or something that has caused the problem, it has always come back after a while. Again, not really a big deal.
The LG OLED65C24LA is my first foray back into home AV kit that isn’t just something slightly above the budget offering. Having just ‘made do’ for the better part of the last decade, my kids are now that bit older, so I can (just about) trust them not to smash anything – plus, they’re on the games consoles even more than I am now, so I decided an investment for all our entertainment needs was in order.Having run the rule over the much vaunted C1 from 2021, I was intrigued by the early talk of the C2 actually managing to be an improvement on its forerunner – not so much that you’d necessarily upgrade from one to the other, but for anyone who hasn’t upgraded their screen in the last five years, this was going to be a treat for the eyes!And what a treat it is – ... MoreThe LG OLED65C24LA is my first foray back into home AV kit that isn’t just something slightly above the budget offering.

Even though this display is incredibly light yet surprisingly solid, this size of panel is really just beyond the limits of manageable for one person to manoeuvre and position effectively. The good lady wife was on-hand to assist, albeit with hushed mumbles of ‘it’s too big’ – now it’s in pride of place, the screen sits perfectly in my field of view from my favoured seat.But it’s a stunning looker wherever I sit – with patio doors to the north of the lounge and a large window to the south, I had been hoping that the talk of the C2 being able to handle reflections really well wasn’t just fluff – it’s not, whatever this filter or coating is, it’s incredible! Even with light pouring through the front blinds, it has to be a particularly static dark scene and for me to really go looking for the reflections before I notice anything off-putting.I’ve kept my old soundbar plinth for now – it’s served me well for six years, it’s not the most full-featured but it still sounds good; that said, the pseudo-surround effects put out by the speakers on the C2 really were quite impressive and I probably will try it out more over time – just not when I’m playing back all my metal favourites that require that extra oomph in the bass department.Fantastic remote and slick interface - the kids are already controlling by voice and pointer - apps are really snappy feeling, but I can’t help but wish I could cast direct to the C2.Enjoyed loads of UHD football and 120hz gaming - like honey wearing silk, so smooth!My telly for the next decade!
I recently received my 65 inch LG C2 Oled and have been thoroughly enjoying using it on a daily basis with a variety of content.The delivery was was swift and without issue, the tv was securely packaged inside the box and easy to take out.The TV is very light and the instructions are simple and straight forward enough that I was able to put it together on my own. The size of the TV was perfect for my space, and the slick design with the slim bevel makes it look even bigger in person.The TV has got 4 high speed HDMI 2.1 ports, one of them being an Arc/E-Arc port, making it easy to pair with a sound bar/surround sound system. Also, being HDMI 2.1, it supports 120 Hz 4K HDR content, this ensures you get the best possible picture and performance from your devices ... MoreI recently received my 65 inch LG C2 Oled and have been thoroughly enjoying using it on a daily basis with a variety of content.The delivery was was swift and without issue, the tv was securely packaged inside the box and easy to take out.The TV is very light and the instructions are simple and straight forward enough that I was able to put it together on my own.

Also, being HDMI 2.1, it supports 120 Hz 4K HDR content, this ensures you get the best possible picture and performance from your devices and content.Being an avid gamer, I spent some considerable time playing on my PS5, and the TV excels at this, it has a dedicated Game mode, that reduces the input lag of your controller and ensures you get an amazing picture in addition to silky smooth performance, there’s a lot more I can mention, but suffice to say, you wont find a better TV for gaming.In regards to Movies and TV shows, the TV supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos; in addition to picture presets and Filmmaker mode. You also have the option to go in and finely tweak colours, brightness, contrast and all the other usual settings to your hearts desire as well try out the AI Picture mode, which tries to enhance the picture based on the content you’re watching; make sure to turn off the eco mode to really experience and enjoy the full brightness of the TV.In addition to all this, there’s a bunch of other nifty features such as Universal Control, Web OS, a simple intuitive and fast performing user interface to access the TV settings as well as the Smart TV features and Apps. Another cool feature is the Gallery mode, which displays different works of art which changes based on the time time intervals you set up.I have a Soundbar, it was easy to connect via the E-Arc port, going in to the settings and toggling on E-Arc ensures you get the best supported audio format and you can link your Soundbar to TV and use the built in sound modes to find the best match to the content your watching; Game, Cinema, and even AI Sound.I am extremely pleased with the TV, it looks truly outstanding; gaming, watching movies and TV shows have never looked so good, I can’t recommend the TV enough, it’s the best TV I have owned!
I was blown away by the color quality, crispness, and how black the blacks get on OLED tvs like this one. Beautiful picture and an tv excellent for console gamers like myself. Absolutely recommend this tv if your a regular gamer. The remote that comes with it works really well and has some really cool, unexpected smart features like the moving cursor that follows your movement. The picture mode automatically switches to Game mode when a game console is turned on with features such as VRR and FPS clearly visble. My only disappointment with this tv was the fact that it doesn’t support DTS audio or passthrough. Anyone exclusively using their tv for streaming content won’t be bothered by this since most streaming services use some form of Dolby audio.

My only disappointment with this tv was the fact that it doesn’t support DTS audio or passthrough. Anyone exclusively using their tv for streaming content won’t be bothered by this since most streaming services use some form of Dolby audio. If you own or watch a lot of 4k blurays or regular blurays like myself, you may be disappointed since the majority of blurays use DTS audio for the surround sound experience. A lot of newer movies use Dolby as well, including Dolby Atmos. However, a majority of blurays use DTS and most, if not all Nolan films, like the Dark Knight films, exclusively use DTS. Lastly, if you have a surround sound setup and you end up connecting your bluray/4k player directly to your audio setup, the lack of DTS support probably won’t affect your setup and you’ll get the full DTS, DTS:X, DTS-HD Master Audio intended from the film. Other than the lack of DTS support or passthrough, I absolutely loved the TV and wished I could’ve kept it. Build quality was excellent, it’s bright enough for most room setups, excellent HDR, odd but somewhat low profile tv stand, excellent remote, user friendly settings which were easy to navigate, four 2.1 HDMI porta (Sony A80J only has two 2.1 HDMI ports and two 2.0 ports). I only decided to return it and buy a Sony A80J because the lack of DTS Audio support and the $300 cheaper price tag of last years Sony model, A80J, which is very similar in quality, features, and picture quality, as well as for its DTS support and passthrough. What it comes down to is your setup and what you use your tv for a majority of the time. If you game and/or stream 75% of the time, definitely go with this LG. If you watch a lot of physical media like me, Sony OLED TVs may be your only option if you’re looking for DTS support on an OLED television. Samsung doesnt support DTS anymore either. Either way, you wont be disappointed with the LG C2, it’s expensive but absolutely worth it on sale
I’ve had a number of LG OLED’s over the years my first being the E7. What I can say without doubt is that each year they continually improve and add features. The C2 being the latest iteration. First impressions the box…not very exciting but it’s clear to see that LG are paying close attention to their green credentials. Previous models came in a heavily branded and glossy box this year its a more understated and plain brown box, much better for recycling I’m sure. Once inside I was happy to see the remote has been updated as it has remained the same for the past few years, still very good feel in the hand and the great gesture control I have gotten used to. The supplied stand is sturdy and was easy to put together the tv will eventually be going on the wall I just ... MoreI’ve had a number of LG OLED’s over the years my first being the E7.

The supplied stand is sturdy and was easy to put together the tv will eventually be going on the wall I just haven’t decided what wall bracket to go for yet. One area where I would like to see improvement for 2023 models is better cable management, the C2 does have some basic cable management but I wouldn’t consider it very robust. On powering up for the first time I was pleased to see LG have improved upon the initial setup, from previous experience this could be a little tedious but it’s clear to see this is something they have worked on and the tv is much better for it. I don’t use a TV Ariel and get everything via my sky box which is connected to 1 of the 4 high speed HDMI ports, it was detected first time and the input labelled correctly. 2 of the 3 remaining inputs are taken by a PS5 and an XBOX Series X. One of my main reasons for purchasing the TV was its gaming features and the fact that all 4 HDMI ports are full bandwidth, some competing TV’s only have 1 or 2 full bandwidth ports. My other big use case for the TV is the inbuilt apps of which there are plenty to choose from! I watch a lot of YouTube, Netflix and Amazon prime and all of the apps perform well and open quickly. The TV’s interface has changed to a full screen layout which I must admit I preferred the older style which only took up the bottom half of the screen, however the main thing is that it performs well and is quick to respond and intuitive to use and didn’t take long to get used to. The picture quality is great regardless using an external source or the inbuilt apps however this is something I have come to expect over the years from OLED displays. Overall I’m extremely happy with my purchase and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this model to others seeking a premium full featured TV for either content consumption or gaming.
This is the best TV I have ever laid my eyes on and I could not be happier with the fact that I spent my money on the LG C2! I only wish I had purchased it sooner. I play XBOX Series X on my C2, this is actually the main reason I purchased an LG C2. Because of LG's recent reputation as being the best TV's out there for gaming. Well, I can tell you from plenty of personal experience, that this reputation must be something that LG does not take lightly, because they did an absolutely amazing job with this display. It is absolutely gorgeous! I realize that "gorgeous" is a pretty deep word to use in describing the picture one's television can deliver, but to use a lesser word, or means of description, would just be doing it an injustice at the very least. The colors ... MoreThis is the best TV I have ever laid my eyes on and I could not be happier with the fact that I spent my money on the LG C2! I only wish I had purchased it sooner.

Well, I can tell you from plenty of personal experience, that this reputation must be something that LG does not take lightly, because they did an absolutely amazing job with this display. It is absolutely gorgeous! I realize that "gorgeous" is a pretty deep word to use in describing the picture one's television can deliver, but to use a lesser word, or means of description, would just be doing it an injustice at the very least. The colors this television puts out, and the depth at which it does so, are nothing short of awe inspiring! To watch a movie on this television, especially with our new Onkyo TX-NR6100 audio/video receiver, and it's 5.2.2 channels of Dolby Atmos (or DTS:X) audio, is not to "watch" a movie at all, but rather, to experience the absolute best that today's home theater possibilities have to offer, and in doing so, find one's self completely immersed in this amazing picture and these incredible sounds! And if you thought it ends there, you were sorely mistaken, because as fun and awesome an experience as it certainly is to enjoy a 4K UHD Bluray (this is by far the pinnacle of movie watching experiences, and without a doubt, a far more superior way to enjoy one's favorite films, than to stream them, regardless which app one may use do to so... the picture and sound on 4K UHD Bluray is just plain better!) on this television, you still have not experienced true immersion, until you have played any one of plenty of titles available on the XBOX Series X gaming console!! I cannot speak to the Playstation 5 experience, as I do not own one, though I imagine it is pretty amazing as well. I had a Hisense U7G when I first purchased my XBOX, but I upgraded to the C2, and while the U7G is no doubt a great and beautiful display in it's own rite, and certainly plenty capable for gaming, even at 4K/120Hz... Still, upgrading to the C2 proved that until doing so, we were not getting the absolute most we could possibly get out of our gaming experiences. With the LG C2, things are just more vivid, more interactive, and just overall, more ALIVE!!! And I can say without a doubt, that gaming on the LG C2 (again, including our Onkyo TX-NR6100 boosting our audio to a whole nother level..) is without a doubt, as close as one can get to "virtual reality", without actually strapping on a set of VR goggles, from something like, say, an Occulus sytem, or something of that like. The difference between XBOX and the Occulus, is definition and resolution... The XBOX looks more like reality than anything any VR device can come close to currently. So with a setup like the XBOX Series X, an Onkyo TX-NR6100, THX certified audio video receiver, pushing quality Bowers and Wilkins speakers, carefully placed throughout the room (and two subwoofers to ensure those lows are able to be felt as much as they are heard!) and finally, the 65 inch LG C2 (or any other size I would imagine) OLED EVO 4K UHD television, you are EXPERIENCING (not just "watching" or "playing") the very BEST of what our modern technology has to offer by way of home entertainment!!! And let me tell you... It is an absolute BLAST, and a thing that I thoroughly enjoy on a daily basis!! And I am as grateful as I can be, that I find myself fortunate enough to be able to share these experiences with those who are closest to me, and who mean more to me than anything else in this world!! My family, and our friends! Movie nights are a whole thing in our house now, and rather than fussing that there is something else they would rather be doing, the kids instead, are happy to sit and watch whatever new 4K UHD Bluray Mom and/or Dad brought home this time, or to hang out and play a game! It's been the best of fun for me personally, and I enjoy plenty of games on my own too, but it has created an environment where my family is happy to gather as well, and that is a thing that you just cannot put a price on these days. I know some time, the "newness" will die down, and goofy toys, or worse, the spiney, infectious tendrils of social media will once again win out over watching a movie with Mom and Dad. But for now, I couldn't be happier with everything these new purchases have granted us. It certainly is far more than I ever expected or even dared to hope for, and so, like so many other things in life, we choose to just soak it up and enjoy it while it's happening. If I am honest, these purchases were fueled by motives which were indefinitely self-centered, and a bi-product of my deep seeded, and long-standing obsession with home theater! I could have continued watching and playing on my U7G, and listening via my dated Onkyo TX-NR929 (which still works 100%, including the remote, after 10 plus years in constant service, but I sold it so someone else could realize the beginnings of their own obsession with the same), and things would have still been nice and enjoyable. But when I saw the perfect (or near to it as is possible) contrast that was possible with OLED televisions, and then I saw that same contrast, along with the colors and brightness present in the LG C2 display, along with the gaming features, unrivaled by other televisions - FUN FACT....the LG C2 and G2 are the ONLY displays capable of "Dolby Vision for gaming" as of now... because Dolby laboratories would not certify any other displays to carry the feature, as they themselves did not find other displays capable of rendering Dolby Vision for Gaming properly, or effectively enough that they felt comfortable with putting their stamp of approval on any of them, save the C2 and G2. And so, the C2 and G2 are the only displays available currently, upon which one can play their games in true Dolby Vision for Gaming. No other displays can tick that box just yet... And that speaks volumes to me personally... Especially considering just about all of the other companies, if not every one of them, period, are actually using LG panels to manufacture their own TVs... If you don't believe this, just email any of the other big name brands, and ask them, ON the record of course, what type of panel is used in their manufacturing process of their OLED televisions. And see what type of responses you get. I can assure you that while they will never freely admit it, so long as you inform them that you are asking ON the record, they will not deny it either. And they certainly would not dare lie to you, as they are far too afraid of the repercussions from that, as they have no way of knowing whether or not you might be someone digging for dirt for the competition... It is a cut-throat business after all, to be sure! - I knew without a doubt, that settling for what I had been watching was just not going to be an option, and that I had to have one to bring home, that I could call my own, and that is why I purchased my LG C2. However, I freely admit, that I had no idea at the time, just how many experiences it would prove to provide me to have WITH my family and friends! This was an unforeseen bit of amazing fun and enjoyment - as previously mentioned - that seemed to occur as if it were a side-effect of purchasing these devices... It was all an after-thought, to be completely fair and honest. But a factor that has definitely occurred nonetheless, and one that both I and my wife have both been aware of, appreciative of, and ever so immensely pleased with at the end of the day!Whether you are a Dad (or Mom) looking for a cool way to try and get your whole family back into the living room at the same time, and for more time than 5 minutes... Or a Dad (or Mom, or anyone else) looking for a killer display upon which to play your own video games, during time that you spend on your own - otherwise known as "me-time" in our household - and as far away from the kids as is humanly possible, while under the same roof... No matter WHO you are, or how you might describe yourself... The LG C2 would be a more than welcome addition into your household, and into your life! And while I can't promise you that it will bring your family together more as it did my own... I can however assure you that it will, without a doubt, vastly improve the way that you see the world as you view it through whatever may be playing on your screen right now!! Unless of course that is a C2, in which case I would say that it is a smidge odd - at the least - that you would be reading reviews written of the C2, when you are already all too familiar with it's capability and functionality! So, if you are looking for the right television to bring home, and are not sure where to begin, or quite what to pick... And it also happens you have been reading this review. Well, first of all, I thank you for reading this review in its entirety! And second of all, but more importantly, stop looking around and wasting time with a bunch of researching this spec and that spec, and comparing this feature to that feature, as you could do this till the cows come home, and still never really be able to comfortably decide upon a television that is right for you! A television - especially one like this - is not a small nor insignificant purchase by any stretch of the imagination! I get it, believe me, I do. But I'll put it to you like this... You could keep looking, and "researching", until those cows do come home. But all that is pretty counter-productive once you have already taken a look at, and read the reviews for, the one that would be the best fit! So stop wasting time "researching", and get busy enjoying! The C2 WILL NOT let you down! You can thank me later!
Wow. Thats the first thing I said to myself when I opened the box and saw the TV for the first time. This TV really is a thing of beauty to marvel at when seen for the first time, the first thing you notice about it is how thin the panel is which would make any person think how fragile it must be. But upon reading about it online as well as handling it myself, you notice that its actually very sturdily made. Getting the TV out of the box was suprisingly easy because of how light it is at just 37 pounds without the stand, but shocking considering its 65" size. After I mounted the TV, setting up the TV was effortless with the setup guide provided when turning it on.The second time I said Wow audibly was when putting on a 4K video from youtube and the experience ... MoreWow.

After I mounted the TV, setting up the TV was effortless with the setup guide provided when turning it on.The second time I said Wow audibly was when putting on a 4K video from youtube and the experience watching it is really something that needs to be seen. The TV I replaced with this one was also a 4K LED set from 2016, but compared to that this one blows it away completely. The colors on this TV are so vibrant and lifelike that you feel like you are looking through a window seeing whats in front of you, which is all made possible by the TV's amazing ability to produce inky blacks that are unmatched by other TV's. When watching content with dark scenes you will not see grey colors in place of black like you would on other TV sets, you'll see the black colors as they werent meant to be seen which is the biggest strength of OLED TV's. The samples pictures I posted with this review do not do it justice unfortunately.Another strength of the TV that blew me away was the sound and how good it sounded considering the thinness and small size of the TV. The speakers produced rich and full sounds with a good amount of bass in the small sized room I have it in and that was at a max volume of about 15-20 out of a 100. The smart hub of the TV with webOS is fast and has every single streaming app that any one would want as well as an internet browser. The remote is somewhat on the bigger side compared to other TV remotes but I personally didnt mind it, and the mouse pointer capability of the remote is actually one of my favorite features since its so convenient to navigate with.The inputs on the TV include 4 HDMI 2.1 ports that can output 4k at 120hz which is great for many devices including the newest game consoles, VRR is awesome since the PS5 now supports it. It's hard to write about every great thing about this TV in such a short review, but I would recommend this to anyone that wants the best TV.
