For true competitive gaming this tv has no competition, i have back problems so playing while sitting down isnt an option so a tv that performs even better than most gaming monitors is unbelievable to me
The spot in Elden Ring when changing the game profiles isn't a bug. It's increasing the luminance of colors. Because it's in a dark area it's harder to see the colors that are in there on standard, and when you switch to the other profiles it's just making the colors brighter.
Thanks for all the hard work you and Keep it Classy Tech put in for us KG! I went with a "75 QN90B and I'm loving it so far. Best lcd TV I've ever seen! I upgraded from the "65 Q90T which got moved to a different room. Keep up the good work.
I appriciate your honest take on LG C2. There is no perfect tv, its just matter of your personal need and use case. Cant wait for X95K and A95K reviews. Hopefully by next black friday, i ll have an idea what to buy 😅 Subscribed, you deserved it KG.
@@ivantihon I think they are both incredible tvs. You can’t go wrong with either one. However, if you are making a good amount of money on your home sale maybe leave it with the new owner if they want it and move to the C2. You would have to set them side by side in order to see the small differences, that’s how similar they are in my opinion.
Thanks KG for the gaming review from my experience with C9 even logo luminance adjustment off it will dim the TV, the difference is instead gradual it will be sudden drop! ASBL no go for me, hopefully QN95B in my house next week, of course the green light to by Samsung it was miniLED and 4× HDMI2.1
Before i purchased the CX i was using Sony 950G in gaming at first experience gaming in oled is amazing no doubt but somehow something missing specially playing like RPG i moss some highlights contrast or the full graphics of the game, Sony X950k is my next tv im just a casual gamers in PS5.
You are so right about HGiG. Some games looking fantastic in HGiG but many of them are just too dark (dull) . The C2 (as well my CX) is just not bright enough to display HGiG as it should be. DTM ON is a compromise with very big disadvantages as well.
Exactly, it’s unfortunate because They revamped DTM for movie mode on the C2 but only while AI picture pro is on & that won’t work in game mode of course so we’re still having to deal with DTM’s downsides of how it was in previous LG OLEDs still better than nothing for some games though like you mentioned.
So, using a Nintendo Switch Oled on tv, the Qled Q80B by Samsung wouldn't be anything less than this right? Seems like this tv is more suited for xbox and ps5 based on every video I see.
I had the C1 and it was fantastic. But I ended up exchanging it for the Samsung qn800b from this year. And it is amazing to be honest. I like the super bright highlights. Specially for gaming. I have tried both lcd and oled and I keep coming back to lcd due to how good it makes gaming look
Led like the Samsung have very poor viewing angles which washes out colors and contrast. Also it lacks depth compared to even the oldest Oled. Yes you get very punchy colors and high brightness, but it’s actually blown out and not accurate at all. 9 out of 10 times I prefer Oled
@@tears2040 if you watch some of KGs videos you will see that’s not the case. Maybe back then. The new Samsung has excellent viewing angles and the colors are super deep and the blacks aren’t crushed. Color volume is fantastic! I’ve had both and I love both. But the new LED tvs are not like that. Back then sure. Both OLEDs and LEDs had their issues.
@@sth7 I agree man. Often times this happens when you mention a preference or something you like. Either way like I said before I’ve always owned both technologies so I feel I can be sure of what I prefer. Those bright colorful new LEDs really are something incredible. They are so close to oled there is barely any difference anymore. And I do prefer that for gaming more. Again, both are great. And it’s a preference thing. I happen to like brighter colors and deep blacks although not perfect I can’t even tell anymore. :)
@@tears2040 Not true at all actually, Samsung and Sony have very good depth of image using their processing You probably only base your opinions on TH-cam videos not real experience
There is a boss fight in elden ring where its complete black except for the 2 enemies. Looks unbelievable on an OLED. Saying that I still like my pretty skies so I like LCD.
Hey man. I have a sony oled in the living room and i adore it. But obviously the Sony lacks in features for more competitive games. Is it crazy of me to think I should get the LGC2 42 inch instead of a monitor for my other gaming room? Monitors that do 4K 120 are ridiculously expensive
Gaming on an Oled is next level it makes even older games look better and all the latest run and look better I have A Qd Samsung Oled so it has the perfect darks and brightest highlights out of any oled
Mr. KG question i got a CX thinking to get C2 or G1 do you think C2 HDR are better than CX in gaming? is it worth it C2 over CX? thanks and more power to your channel.
Thanks!! Personally I wouldn’t bother with that upgrade unless your jumping size. CX to C2 or G1 same size would almost look like the same exact TV in most scenarios.
definitely left out alot of details u could have talked about with this C2 and would have been interesting to know if gaming on here in better then the c1 or the same and what's the difference between both when gaming
I'm interested in the LG C2. I primarily game on my TV. And it seems that the LG OLEDs are king for that. I do have some inhibitions though. The TV I now have is a Sony X900H. Which is a very good TV. It's got 4K at 120fps, VRR, local dimming, low input lag, and looks great 90% of the time. I've had it for only 2 years. It's still pretty new. But I just have some nitpicks that bug me. For instance, when using VRR, the TV disables it's Local Dimming. Which looks like absolute trash. So I don't use VRR even when a game would greatly benefit. And it has a slight blurring issue when receiving a 4K 120hertz signal. Barely noticeable, but it's there. Same when using VRR. It's almost like there is some strange barely perceivable after image blurring. And it only has 32 dimming zones. So in dark scenes in a dark room, the blooming can be very noticeable. And its brightness acually doesn't even exceed the brightness of these OLEDs. And it's plenty bright for me. Though the OLED would probably be dimmer in bright scenes. I'm just not fully satisfied with it. So I'm considering the C2 now that it's at its cheapest price. I'm just not sure if the upgrade would be worth it. And I'm still a little put off by the risk of OLED burn in. Just can't decide.
I just got the C1 and let me tell you it’s killer, worth every Penny and if you game then yeah it’s probably worth the upgrade. You can get an amazing deal at Amazon rn.
I just bought this TV and it's amazing! The only thing I don't like is everytime I switch games the screen says No Signal and and I have to unplug the hdmi cable and plug it back up for it to show the game again. They said it's only a Xbox probably and Microsoft has to fix it on their end. I hope they fix this soon.
Thanks KG , new sub here , if I'm only streaming movies , is the C2 any good or the new Samsung S95B would be better for his purpose ? I'll wait for your Samsung review
@@TechWithKG is this worth gettin over the slow performance of the G1? Does it matter if I’m using an Apple TV? I’m looking at the s95b first and the G1 or C2 second
What brand or tv do you advice for gaming and movies? The best in your opinion? Without having the flat or dull images in SDR? I appreciate your honesty about these OLED’s from LG and thanks for the vid!
LG, it’s not just the brand it’s the C1 or the C2 you would want. Nothing comes close to LG when it comes to gaming TVs. They’re not cheap but they’re the real deal.
KG, 3 months on do you recommend this C2 42" as a PC gaming monitor any more strongly? About to pull the trigger on buying this for gaming on my PC and future PS5 purchase (still chasing stock!). This and the Alienware AW3423DW were on my short list, but the AW has 2 month plus wait where as this is in stock. I watch movies on a seperate G2 65" so this is just media and games.... D2 and Outriders/HZD are my main gaming staple diet rather than racing sims.... @Tech With KG
I love my C1 gonna hold off for a C3 or maybe the Samsung S95B OLED but I don’t have a issue with ABL on my C1 you can turn it off and it’s very bright and punchy wish it was at least a 1000 nits cuz then HDR could truly shine but it’s very impressive that’s why I’m skipping the C2 and will wait maybe I’ll get the S95B or I’ll wait till next years C3 I can never go back to LED TVs after you go OLED you never go back the washed out colors overly bright screens and washed out blacks and bad blooming even with the highest end models I’ll pass on that any day I hate LED TVs yes they get super bright but 1000 nits is more than enough they also don’t offer that punchiness the oleds haves great video homie keep up the good work
I'm sure the QD samsung and Sony has more "pop", though testing has shown they are more prone to burn in. I'll take the dull picture to have peace of mind
Question. I know the 48"-55" C1 are currently discounted at a nice price. Do the larger 75 inch models on these high end TV's ever get a similar significant scaling discount like the smaller ones do?
I bought both the 48c2 evo and 77c2 evo. Both were discounted $300 during Super Bowl week. No scaling. They are amazing TVs. I've only used to watch sports. Have not gamed since 2019 when i was playing Witcher 3. But now i just read there is a re-release called Next Gen Update. So, i'll try it on my 77inch soon.
You are definitely my favorite reviewer. But when you talked about the color gamut you had said the qn90b and maybe should have gave a little love to the qn85b as well. Just saying I remember how much you enjoyed the color
Yeah no thanks. I rather wait it out this year until new QD-OLED tvs come out or I'd get the LG G2 with heatsink. But I'll go with the former. Currently using a LG C7.
With the game optimizer call of duty shadow example... most games let you adjusted black level so that would an alternative for those without the LG option I think if I'm thinking right. I could be wrong.
@@Cmdaddy88 that noone will care and sadly, they're are not that wrong. MANY "reviewers" didn't even mention and most users don't know of the bfi function and it's benefit.
Yo i know this is old but im looking to buy a new TV, I mainly play Elden Ring tho with constant fps drops, do you think BFI would be beneficial in a game like that? I have a monitor that I play fps games and such on.
I might be crazy but iam thinking of buying the 48" C1 just for gaming because I don't want to worry about burn in on my A80J primary TV. I also have considered the QN90B in a 50" or 55" can't decide which way to go
Either solution is probably good, I don’t think you should be too worried about burn in if you vary your content. Having a dedicated gaming display is cool though especially if you can adjust your seating to it.
I just got the C1 - It's lived up to my expectations. The biggest thing I'd say, now that I went through the decision process and came out the other side a month later, is brightness. The C1 and C2 are bright enough, but the room brightness will determine if it looks bright enough to you. Without curtains on windows in the room, it will not feel bright enough. If you can limit the light a bit in the room, it'll be incredible for you. And gaming is just incredible - going from a 4k Samsung TV at 60hz to this OLED at 120hz is really clean - and of course HDR is stunning!
Can you please try to add timestamps to your future videos? It would make it very convenient for viewers like myself and it can help you increase your view count
so, becouse i cant compare any tv i have one question, im looking to buy new tv cant decide what to get i play games from ps5 to switch i like my tv to be on from the time i wake up to bedtime i dont usually turn off my tv if im not gaming i usually put some movie on and let it roll, do i get the lg c2 or wait for s95b samsung becouse its not out yet in the eu thx
S95B for sure, the upscaling and brightness on the Nintendo Switch is amazing. Nintendo Switch is poor on the LGs sadly like all SDR gaming, LG really needs to address this it’s been an issue.
Burn-in and image retention are and will always remain the biggest weaknesses of OLED for me. I'm ready to put up with all the other limitations of OLED but the fact that some people have already got burn in on their CXs and even C1s puts me off from buying one. I'd rather pay a higher price for a high-end Mini-LED like the QN90B which actually has inferior picture quality in many ways to get a TV that will last me 10 years.
I am waiting for Black Friday and buying it. I want to game at 4k 120hz. For 1k or less its going to be fantastic. I have a computer system that should be able to do it. Im excited. And I am already using a shit 4k tv and its ehhhh. So just trying to be patient.
I don't understand how he really likes the C1 and said it was a great tv but then says the C2 is the same but then the C2 is not as good as the C1. Makes no sense
It’s great for movies of course. For the most part it’s roughly the same as the C1 unless your using the DTM toggle which I usually switch off because it lifts areas in movies and you kind of lose depth I’ve always enjoyed the LG OLED TVs for movies, although I like Sony better for movies if that’s your main focus because their image processing are really great for that use case.
@@TechWithKG Im just really interested in the C2 and I was just looking forward to it being really good for gaming and movies because that's what I usually use my tv for. This yr the C2 doesn't seem like a full upgrade as I would have hoped it to be
so why people say it has infinite contrast but in fact it has unstable brightness , its a misconception that say that a monitor has good contrast just because it has great blacks, contrast is from dark to bright not just blacks alone, im trying to convince people they dont f listen
We have all been infected with a want for high tier technology. And for a top tier expensive TV like this one, it's best to research and have in depth reviews to spot all the pros and cons. But I won't lie. I miss the old days where stuff like this didn't matter at all to me 😞
@Sawdust I agree 👍 I have a (2020 Samsung QLED 4K HDR10 60hz) I just got the new Xbox series X and guess what ?😅 the Xbox support 4k at 120hz with dolby vision which is better than HDR10 because of it's dynamic metadata, so it is technology innovation 💡 that forces you to upgrade if you want to enjoy better quality gaming 😅 and that's why I miss the old day. Because everything about this gaming generation is EXPENSIVE 😢
Thats not the reason people are buying it they just happen to also enjoy playing SDR games not really that dumb if you think about how many games that are brand new have no HDR.
@@bryangray936 It must do something right since its selling very well. And the reviews say its better than the QN90A. I would rather see a QD-OLED at a size I want like 32" -38" but that is probably years away
I own an LG OLED but the con is definitely in sdr. Also daylight scenes unless you use DTM but then it overblows whites and cloud detail. So I wouldn't call it perfect even though it's what I've been using.
@@TearsofJoy69er are you fucking serious. What a joke lol. You can get a 65” C1 for that price. Edit: that price got be scalper price. For 2 new addition to the C2. There is no way that should be the price for a 42”

Either solution is probably good, I don’t think you should be too worried about burn in if you vary your content. Having a dedicated gaming display is cool though especially if you can adjust your seating to it.
I just got the C1 - It's lived up to my expectations. The biggest thing I'd say, now that I went through the decision process and came out the other side a month later, is brightness. The C1 and C2 are bright enough, but the room brightness will determine if it looks bright enough to you. Without curtains on windows in the room, it will not feel bright enough. If you can limit the light a bit in the room, it'll be incredible for you. And gaming is just incredible - going from a 4k Samsung TV at 60hz to this OLED at 120hz is really clean - and of course HDR is stunning!
Same here man. Love my SONY oled but I’m looking for a smaller screen but monitors are wicked expensive and have bad picture
Turn off energy saver. You don't get the dimming down of alot of whites. They stay lit.
So is C1 better than C2 for gaming?
About the same really C2 slightly better colors and a little bit brighter. Unless you care about BFI@120 then C1 is better.
@@TechWithKG what is BFI@120
Can you please try to add timestamps to your future videos? It would make it very convenient for viewers like myself and it can help you increase your view count
How about the OLED stutter with 30 fps games? i wish LG OLED have something like the game motion plus from Samsung.
True I did forget to mention that
@@TechWithKG That stutter is still a problem with the C2?
VRR makes it it more playable but yes 30fps will still be better on LCD especially Samsung w/ GMP.
starfield...30fps..wtf?
You are really selling the QD-OLEDS by bringing up these limitations on this tv. Well done breaking things down!
Cheers for the review.
so, becouse i cant compare any tv i have one question, im looking to buy new tv cant decide what to get i play games from ps5 to switch i like my tv to be on from the time i wake up to bedtime i dont usually turn off my tv if im not gaming i usually put some movie on and let it roll, do i get the lg c2 or wait for s95b samsung becouse its not out yet in the eu thx
S95B for sure, the upscaling and brightness on the Nintendo Switch is amazing. Nintendo Switch is poor on the LGs sadly like all SDR gaming, LG really needs to address this it’s been an issue.
Does LPCM 5.1 works trough eARC?
When you start game does your tv do black for few seconds?
Can’t say that I’ve ever noticed that
Burn-in and image retention are and will always remain the biggest weaknesses of OLED for me. I'm ready to put up with all the other limitations of OLED but the fact that some people have already got burn in on their CXs and even C1s puts me off from buying one. I'd rather pay a higher price for a high-end Mini-LED like the QN90B which actually has inferior picture quality in many ways to get a TV that will last me 10 years.
OLED ABL not good for sport games
I wanna buy
This but I feel like
Picture is too dark
I am waiting for Black Friday and buying it. I want to game at 4k 120hz. For 1k or less its going to be fantastic. I have a computer system that should be able to do it. Im excited. And I am already using a shit 4k tv and its ehhhh. So just trying to be patient.
I don't understand how he really likes the C1 and said it was a great tv but then says the C2 is the same but then the C2 is not as good as the C1. Makes no sense
I never said C2 is not as great as the C1.
Ok. Would u say it's just a good gaming tv or it's also good for movies too ?
It’s great for movies of course. For the most part it’s roughly the same as the C1 unless your using the DTM toggle which I usually switch off because it lifts areas in movies and you kind of lose depth I’ve always enjoyed the LG OLED TVs for movies, although I like Sony better for movies if that’s your main focus because their image processing are really great for that use case.
@@TechWithKG Im just really interested in the C2 and I was just looking forward to it being really good for gaming and movies because that's what I usually use my tv for. This yr the C2 doesn't seem like a full upgrade as I would have hoped it to be
Running My Nvidia GeForce 3090 graphics card on the my C2 I have none of these cons. , must be a console thing .
I can’t decide between the 65 c2 or 55 a90j Sony for mostly hdr movies. Stress 😂
Annoyingly tho even bright games CAN look bright but they use that nuts auto dimming you see it for about 1% of the time. It’s stupid
so why people say it has infinite contrast but in fact it has unstable brightness , its a misconception that say that a monitor has good contrast just because it has great blacks, contrast is from dark to bright not just blacks alone, im trying to convince people they dont f listen
Remember when you use to buy a tv on and play a game 🤯
OK.. Well these days I appreciate in depth reviews especially with the high cost. I've been researching for weeks.
We have all been infected with a want for high tier technology.
And for a top tier expensive TV like this one, it's best to research and have in depth reviews to spot all the pros and cons.
But I won't lie. I miss the old days where stuff like this didn't matter at all to me 😞
@Sawdust I agree 👍 I have a (2020 Samsung QLED 4K HDR10 60hz) I just got the new Xbox series X and guess what ?😅 the Xbox support 4k at 120hz with dolby vision which is better than HDR10 because of it's dynamic metadata, so it is technology innovation 💡 that forces you to upgrade if you want to enjoy better quality gaming 😅 and that's why I miss the old day. Because everything about this gaming generation is EXPENSIVE 😢
so... 120Hz is a lie? only ever saw 60Hz in your shots
Waiting for your S95 Samsung OLED and Lg G2 OLED review or comparison
Im getting ridiculous colour banding/newtons ringpiece on gta v and other games, how do i get rid?
Good review. Nice to see you talk about cons n pros
Why would anyone buy $1,700 OLED tv to Play SDR games? Or Wii u? That's a dumb reason
Thats not the reason people are buying it they just happen to also enjoy playing SDR games not really that dumb if you think about how many games that are brand new have no HDR.
It is baffling LG puts so much limits on SDR gaming.
Yeah it’s definitely a shame.
It looks awesome but way too dark
I hate it when you have to choose whether you game or watch movies more. I am not the only one using the tv so it gets used for everything.
Not as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Don't own an LG but have a Sony and it does both no problem. Def overrated statement in quality OLED
Samsung QN90B would be a decent all rounder
Lol what?!samsung are terrible plus it has shocking light bloom
@@bryangray936 It must do something right since its selling very well. And the reviews say its better than the QN90A. I would rather see a QD-OLED at a size I want like 32" -38" but that is probably years away
@@fredmcgovern302 only cause the Sony isn't out until June lol if anyone picks a Samsung over a sony I'd be questioning their sanity
LG c2 vs ASUS ROG Swift PG43UQ/// anyone?/??
Everything is dim on this OLED
god
🤗👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Cons:burn in.That is all
I own an LG OLED but the con is definitely in sdr. Also daylight scenes unless you use DTM but then it overblows whites and cloud detail. So I wouldn't call it perfect even though it's what I've been using.
@@ye-rochawkins5432 yeah that too. Just had to comment since the one guy acted like they were perfect.
Drivil.
No thanks Im gonna stick with samsung mini led
LG = Quantity
Sony = Quality
Huh?!? As far as I'm concerned I saw Sony OLEDs regularly in stock all of last year
Great video as always 👍 👌
I'm still waiting to know how much this TV is going to cost in Canada 🇨🇦
Same
@@smokethatgameb9937 $2397.99 plus tax on Amazon apparently and 4 year warranty $267.94 plus taxes on that in total it says $3025.63 🙄.. 55 inch.
@@TearsofJoy69er are you fucking serious. What a joke lol. You can get a 65” C1 for that price.
