- It’s been 9 months since the LG C1 OLED launched, and having used it for thousands of hours for movies, TV shows and gaming, this is my long term review. Is the C1 OLED the best TV to buy, and would I still recommend it?
I’ll cover picture quality, gaming, burn-in, UI improvements and my honest experience. I’m using the 77” LG C1 with the PS5 and Xbox Series X #OLED #LGC1 #TV

Thanks for watching! I hope this answered a lot of the questions I get about it.
Thanks for this great review! I ordered this TV two days ago after watching your other videos on it!
What do you think about Qled?
I love Sony and i think Sony is better,
Love from Karachi Pakistan ❤️.
You should play Ghost of tsushima
@SpawnPoiint - would you ever consider doing a full in depth settings video ?
What you use for TV, SDR, HDR etc. and gaming ? For example do you use 4:4:4 PC mode for consoles ? Dolby Vision or HDR ? HGIG or DTM ?
This TV has so many different settings and options - it gives a lot of choice and experimentation.
Hope you consider doing one - Thanks 👍
Had the 55” C1 since early April and it’s just the perfect TV, you can’t beat its design, it’s so stylish. The picture quality is just amazing too. There is an option to stop the dash loading everytime you turn the TV on, liveplus maybe, not sure. Also you can clear the cache in the menus and this makes apps and menus open quicker. Gets tiring hearing comments about ‘enjoy the burn in’ anyone who actually knows what they’re talking about would know that burn in is a non issue in normal usage.
Totally agree on the burn-in, I love seeing the comments haha
They just mad cus they got ripped off buying a super expensive TV with budget features.. seen somebody with a LG nano cell talking shit about the C1 lol
Also the screen refresh feature negates it further
My only issue with my C1 is I need to turn TPC off in the Service Menu to watch Dolby Vision. Terrible ASBL which hopefully they’ll fix. Tired of screen dimming down in dark scenes. No issues with standard HDR or SDR. Watch Dolby Vision with TPC on & if there is a dark scene, brace for the TV to start dimming down till you can barely see anything at all. lol
@@derbderbishire1487 I’m being dumb but what’s TPC? I watch a lot of Dolby Vision and have no complaints, picture never dims. I use the Cinema Home preset.
I've had the 55' C1 for about 5 weeks now, and I'm completely blown away by the quality and performance. My next display will absolutely be another LG OLED.
Amazing TV I have a 65" the 55" C1 and a 55" C10, love them all 👌🏽👍🏼
How much did u pay for it
@@fatehranks I added the full replacement plan from Best Buy, so it was a bit over MSRP.
It's so ludicrously good but after 4 years of my LG OLED, the burn-in is real.
@@kimjack1000 Does it distract you when watching movies and Tv shows or is it not noticeable?
I bought this TV around six months ago partially based on your earlier review video and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s absolutely incredible for gaming with my PS5 & XSX! Thanks for the great review video!
Great follow up review mate, nice oled looking forward to lg's 2022 line up.
Thank you as always! I agree, 2022 will be nice!
Im looking forward to Samsungs 2022 lineup
@@SpawnPoiint That 42 inches LG C2 OLED seems perfect for desk gaming!
@@SpawnPoiint worth the slight upgrade to G1? Also do you use gallery mode similar to a Samsung frame tv from the “lifestyle” tv category when the tv isn’t in use? I’m either waiting for 2022 line up drop or picking up 65” C1/G1 sub $3-4k NZD
You’re videos are part of the reason I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a C1 a couple weeks ago. This video came at the perfect time. It’s a phenomenal TV. I was stuck between the C1 and G1 but decided to save the money I would’ve spent on a G1 for a C1 and Sonos system combo. I have a sick gaming set up in my living room now. Nice OLED indeed!
That’s awesome feedback. Thank you too.
Exactly this! I pulled the trigger on a 65" C1 back in November and it's the best money I've ever spent on a TV without question. I was skeptical at first but after watching these videos and seeing it in person myself I gotta say for anyone on the fence about getting an OLED, just do it! You won't regret it. Goes perfectly with my Xbox Series X :)
*Your
Thanks. I just purchased this TV today. I went into BB having my mind set on the Samsung NEO Qled 90A, however after talking to the sales rep and looking at the pic quality of both sets I switched to the LG C1 and after reading some reviews and seeing your’s, I’m glad I did.
Nice OLED! I have a 48" C1 in the bedroom/home office for gaming on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and a 65" in the Livingroom for movies and TV. Both are absolutely fantastic. For someone like me who's been playing video games since the early 70's, they simply blow my mind.
That’s awesome! Sounds like a great setup.
Me too! I had an Atari 2600.
Is the 48 inch big enough for a bedroom TV?
Been playing since the 70s too! Lol. Gotta agree the best image i've ever owned
@@IWILLNEVERDIE885 depends how close you sit to it lol
Nice OLED ;-) I picked up the C1 after watching a lot of review videos (One of yours of course!) and couldn't be happier with it. It's been the main display for PS5 gaming, movies and tons of TV shows. It definitely is all around best TV out there right now.
Thoroughly enjoyed this long-term review, as I’ve owned the LG C1 for a couple of months now, and your video hit on a number of topics that I was curious about. It’s also reassuring to know that I am not the only one that feels that the dashboard is extraordinarily laggy. Hopefully we will see some updates this year to assist with speeding things up. Nice OLED!
Thanks for watching. Glad you’re enjoying yours too.
I recently purchased the LG C1 and it honestly does live up to the hype
You’re previous video made me by this TV during Black Friday sale. I got to say I’m very happy with my purchase. Competitive gaming, watching content onnplatforms like Disney+ or Netflix and the user interface is all very satisfying. Great videos
That’s awesome! Thank you too.
Thanks for your content on the C1, always loved how you come across in these reviews.
Needless to say, as of today i am now £1100 out of pocket after purchasing the c1 55" version. Looking forward to setting it up with my Pc. Couch gaming here i come !
That's awesome, enjoy the new TV!
Great video, bought my C1 three months ago and loving it too. You can remove the annoying home dashboard popping up by going into options - general - system - additional settings - home settings - disable both home options. Hope I could be of some help! Keep up the good content.
Thanks for the heads up🙏
@@SpawnPoiint Does someone know how to change the time on Lg c1 when the TV goes into standby mode ?? (In clock mode)
In the dark, you pause the video and after a minute the screen turns black for one hour, you can’t see anything in the room 😕
Is it really impossible to change this time or the clock screensaver itself ??? I went through all the settings, searched in Google TH-cam, there is nothing !! This is inconvenient, one minute (figuratively, maybe 2) and immediately the screen goes blank
First off… you have a BEAUTIFUL HOME!!! I love how you got the colors behind your tv. On to the tv…. I was nervous of getting that LG 55” C1 OLED because I’m hearing about the burn-in. This is my first time hearing about that because I’ve never had a OLED 📺. Your video helped me more than other videos. I’m not going to worry about that burn-in and enjoy how much I’m hearing about that tv showing amazing pictures. Thanks for the great video 👍🏽
I’ve just recently found your channel and I can say hands down, the style of your videos are one of my favorites. Very minimal, high quality, and excellent voice over. Also, thank you for using an iPhone to record your videos. Absolutely top notch stuff and actually forgot you even used an iPhone till you mentioned it again in a previous video. Amazing what you can do without needing an expensive camera rig. Keep it up!!
Thank you! I appreciate the support too 🙏
Love these long term reviews. Still rocking the C7. When the C1 is getting a nice price drop this year i might pull the trigger. Could use the gaming features for the Series X
I’ve had my 55 inch C1 OLED for about 5 months now and I really love it, I have all the next gen consoles and they all look so amazing on it, can’t wait for more games to take advantage of the next gen hardware and look even better on this TV 😄
Totally agree. Games look so nice on it.
The PS5 and Series X were released nearly two years ago. They’re definitely current gen consoles at this point.
Nice OLED. I got mine, 48”, a month ago thanks to your LG OLED videos. Best TV all around, from watching movies and TV shows to playing PS5, everything just pops and looks amazing. Cheers!
good to see this as i just got the 77" C1 a couple weeks ago. beautiful tv.
Top content, as usual.
I own a 65 inch C1 for my living room, and a 48 inch C1 for my gaming room, and both performs absolutely stuning.
I've received many comments about how the CX is much brighter and I should move to a CX for my living room (surrounded by windows), but honestly i've never needed to boost the brightness to get a perfect performance. My brightness is usually somewhere between 55% and 65% of brightness, and 80% OLED pixel brightness, and I consider that more than enough. I can't really think of using more brightness without burning my eyes.
I used to own a Samsung Q6FN that shines for it's brightness and the experience (only talking about brightness) was not much different.
I already have over 3.000 hours of use in my 65 inch C1 and there is not even one mark on the OLED panel. Burn in is clearly on the past.
Keep it up, mate!
It's because you don't use it as a pc monitor or to see the stocks for hours 🤷🏻♂️
Have you tried hooking up a Dolby Atmos sound system to it? Using eArc?
I just bought C1 55" which will replace my 3-year old B8. The only problem that I had with my B8 is that macroblocking / near black issue.
I think it got resolved already (I didn't see that problem with exactly the same material on my friend's CX, so I'm hopeful).
Anyway, I would never buy anything else than OLED nowadays after having one. Amazing picture/color/blacks quality!
Fantastic video. Love the flow of your videos. I still have the CX. Gonna try keep that for at least 1 more year. Im still blown away watching content sometimes. Never gets old.
Nice OLED! I have the 77” C1 As well. I’ve also had it almost as long as you have, and yes, I’m still very much in love with mine.
Just bought this last week. absolutely love it. Got it on sale for $1700
I got my C1 a few months ago and I’m loving every second on it. Everything I watch looks so good. And gaming is fantastic on the TV. Definitely my favorite purchase in a while!
Just bought the 55", love the insightful vids and I think the follow up reviews are essential, good stuff.
Nice OLED! My only question and concern was the burn in. I'm happy to hear that isn't an issue after that amount of hours you've used yours. I notice lag and delay when switch apps. Now I used the Apple TV as my hub for streaming apps. It's only an input use and not taking away from the tv processor. Thanks for the update.
I wouldn’t say it’s not a risk for moderate or heavy use if it’s mixed content. I have a C1 and it has slight burn in but not noticeable still on most content until you get to blues/purples/pinks on almost a full screen. To be fair I cannot blame the technology cause I used mine extensively on one game for 4-7 hrs a day(not exaggerating) for about 8 months. I understand my use is not heavy or moderate but extensive compared to others but it’s still there. I’m keen to see what these qd oleds by Samsung will do. There is still no better option for color/picture quality though which is sad because I had to go back to an ips computer monitor to save the life of the tv and move it to the living room for more moderate use.
So I bought one of these the 65” one based on your review. Yes it’s absolutely incredible infact AMAZING!!! A game to play which I’ve found amazing is Ghost of Tsushima (PS5) and Halo Infinite (Xbox series X) film wise any of the Disney + IMAX ultra films are unreal! Shang Chi was unreal!
Just grabbed my 77 c1 yesterday and I absolutely love it. Even beat my expectations.
Mine too
That’s awesome to hear.
Nice Oled! Just wanted to say thanks for making your videos, I’ve really loved finding your channel over the past few months. Keep it up mate!
Great review, bought mine on the back of your previous vids - love it, best tv ever, films and gaming are amazing.
Nice OLED. :) I’m so happy with my C1, got it back in May and as you i’m still amazed by the inky blacks in the movies, especially when are in Dolby Vision. But i’m interested in your picture settings. Are you using the default ones or your custom ones? And if you do can you post them? Thanks for your content I’m big fan! :)
I've had the 77" C1 for about 6 months now and before settling on this I had the G1, A80J and A90J as other contenders but I don't at all regret getting the C1 as I think the quite a bit extra dosh for the evo panel in the G1 and A90J was not worth it as the extra brightness was a very small evolution rather than something more groundbreaking.
I agree. Considering our eyes adjust to perceived contrast dynamically? Only in side by side would we REALLY notice this "30% brightness" increase between different OLED. And since OLED is already supreme in contrast due to each pixel on/off capability, its even less so important to pay more for this minor APL and peak spec. Again unless you watch super bright LCD in the 1500 nit range in a different room and then go straight to the OLED in the same night... yeah you might feel its a bit dim doing that immediate comparison.
Agreed. I just got the 77 inch as well. Did you put yours on the stand? Had an issue where it’s leaning back ever so slightly and was wondering if you wanted that if it’s on the stand?
Picked up the 48” just before Xmas…absolutely love it! 👌🏼
Love the video. Picked up the 65” version last week. Was going to get the 77”, but had a little talk with myself and decided not to spend the extra $1k, but to rather get the $400 5-year warranty in case of burn in. Now, don’t have to really think about how I use it, as opposed to freaking out when I think an image has been static too long.
And of course Best Buy releases a sale on the 77” for $500 on sale this weekend, I believe.
I had to get the 5 year warranty also since I've never bought a TV this expensive before and want it to last.
I bought a C1 77” for Black Friday and damnnn. The series x and the c1 are a perfect combo 😏
How much did you pay for yours? It's currently 3k at best buy. I'm thinking about getting it.

Whats the full name of tv?
@@blond_slut LG OLED55C1PTB
Thinking about getting a 77" myself. I have a Vizio OLED and it's great but the bugs are ridiculously out of control. I frequently have to keep resetting the tv smh. C1 is definitely looking more likely. Thanks for this!
I have legit been wanting this TV SO BAD..I’m waiting for the 77’ to go on sale (I’m hoping it drops a bit when the new ones come out this year). This video really helped me be confident in the longevity of purchasing it. Thank you 🙏.
I've had my C1 about the same time and I'm absolutely in awe of it! The menu isn't the best and is indeed laggy but those are my only issues. Great content, man!
Thank you. Pleased you’re enjoying yours too.
Clear the cache in the settings. It'll make things snappy again.
I’ve only owned 1 LG tv and it stopped working after only 24months and the menu was very laggy on that too. I just assumed it was because mine was the budget end but I guess not. Oh well, the main thing is picture quality and by looks of it, this tv looks great.
Thinking about buying it too but coming from the led Sony xh90 and therefore a little sceptical because of the lesser brightness
@@grahamkelly8662 It's because of all the bloatware they add that slows the TV down. If you clear things every once in a while you should get back to normal.
Nice OLED ! I'm keeping an eye for several months already for the C1 in 55"... reviews like this makes it just harder to wait 🤣
The price has already dropped comparing to last year, so hopefully the C2 and G2 will make the price drop even greater. ATM I'm rocking a 12 year old 42" LG LED tv so the stepup would be massive haha.
Thanks lad for Al the great content. I really hope you could get your hands on a C2/G2. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you Jeroen. As you say the C2 should push the C1 prices down, then it’s a case of weighing up the difference.
Same here! Let me know if you see an even bigger drop in the price once the C2 comes out!
I just bought a C1 48inch for $997 on Amazon
Dude! I got the C1 Twice one when it first came out and another one for my moms house during the price drop and the tvs are awesome! mines still works! and momma loves her c1!
I can’t fathom on how fortunate your children are. And I hope they know they seem to have it way better than much others! Keep up the amazing videos sp.
Great video, only had my C1 65inch a few months, still get stunned by the mind blowingly good picture quality
I went ahead and picked up the 77inch C1 for 2799.99 in the US. I came from a 65 inch E7 and it’s quite a difference. Video game wise I would check out horizon forbidden west. I never seen a game look so good on Oled.
Good sale now, you may be able to price match depending where you bought it.
Hey man.. great vid. Loving my C1. You can actually disable the home screen pop up when you turn the TV on. System, additional settings, home settings and disable home auto launch.. can also turn off home promotion so no ads when open home
This is AWESOME! Thank you.
@@SpawnPoiint No problem mate..
How do you do that?
@@SIRKSxFUNK All in the same settings menu.. 2 options. System, additional settings then home settings. Turn both off
Nice OLED, I’ve got an old B6 LG OLED and love it. I see no reason to upgrade unless a new feature is released I really want or I can convince myself to upgrade from a 65” to a 75” in the future. Look forward to the series 2 reviews.
Nice Oled! I have a 65 inch C1 and I have been really enjoying the tv since Day 1 when i bought it during the black friday sales. It is my main tv for all sorts of entertainment. Such as Video gaming to watch movies on Netflix or local Satellites tv. It does amazes me how much Technology has improve. Although I am a bit disappointed it didn't come with ATSC 3.0 TUNER or usb 3.1 ports. The 120hz on all 4 hdmi still makes up for it. great review !
I daily use a 65" C1 for about 4 months now, and I couldn't be happier with it. Picture quality still amazes me every time 👌
Have you had any problems with it? Is there any burn in?
@@TheDarkKnight2064 zero problems. No burn in at all. Regular updates. All good here! 👌
I've had 3 C1 65 inch tv's now all with a nasty pink tint down the left hand side. Can't understand why nobody is talking about this serious issue? Or is it simply the fact that most people either don't notice or don't really care!
@@darrenwatts5218 nothing on my side so far. And believe me, I sort of have OCD on those kinds of things. My designer eyes wouldn't let me live with a TV like that 😅
What settings did you go for? Does the panel require much adjustment to get it looking right?
Hi, it’s me again, I am gonna get a nanocell lg tv soon when I hopefully get ps5 later this year, nice OLED.
Great choice, I loved the NanoCell I had.
Nice OLED! Bought the C1 thanks to your review & it definitely lived up to the hype!
Nice oled! I started watching you’re channel nearly two years ago. I remember when you hit 100k subs. Glad to see your audience is growing and content is improving. Keep it up💪❤️
Nice review! I was close to buying the c1, but i found a cx 55 inch for £200 less. When i got my lg cx I was surprised by the lack of image retention after all reviews mentioning it as a potential issue - also the gaming performance is amazing - the response time in competitive fps feels awesome to play. 4k films and even normal hd looks great although i did find sdr didnt look as good as it did on my old sony x900e. On the downside though i did find when viewing near black content there is sometimes noticeable posterization which is pretty much the only issue ive noticed. Im so happy with this tv 😁
What picture mode and setting do you use for HD stuff?
I'm not happy with the CX upscaling, it's nowhere near as clean as my previous Qled Samsung
@@ArtVandelayOfficial mostly turn off everything - if its non hdr i use isf bright room oled light 35 contrast 85 brightness 49 sharpness 0 gamma 2.2 warm 2 black level low dejudder 2 deblur 2. Agreed the overall image processing is not as good as my old sony for hd stuff either i mostly bought it for the gaming features - definitely has better contrast than any other 4k tv ive seen
I got lg CX burn 🔥 in after 1 year I think all cx will get it within 3 years I’m a heavy gamer so hot it early same will happen on the C1
dude you should have got the c1 ..best tv I have ever owned period!
Hi SpawnPoiint!! Nice OLED! It would be extraordinary if you have the chance to get Sony TVs this year! Especially that QD one that is supposed to be the next game changer technology in years to come.
I hope so, it looks really promising.
Nice OLED! Got the same LG C1 77” and love it to bits.
Nice OLED! I’ve just ordered the same model 77 C1 OLED after watching this video.
Always been interested in the C1. Maybe I'll grab the C2 this year. I like my Sony a lot though. Not as good for gaming but the UI (Google TV) is better. Don't think you can go wrong with either brand.
I totally agree. Both are awesome and you can’t go wrong with either.
Isn't the C2 the one with the new Qd Oled panels which will cost you an arm and a leg 🤔💸😉
@@winnied.9844 Sonys qd panels will be in Sony TVs, LG have their own evo panels
Could always get a chromecast with built in google tv?
@@Y-J65 ah ok 👍 but still gonna be f×cking expensive 😭
Just picked up a 65" C1 yesterday, and I've got to say that so far it has been mind blowing.
Both XSX and PS5 games look amazing on it, and more importantly, feel amazing. Streaming content looks so real it feels like you could touch it. I got really lucky with the color as it is pretty accurate out of the box.
Coming from a Sony X900h the standards for picture quality were high but the step-up is quite apparent. I was looking at the A80J as well but all the gaming features were hard to pass up for $200 less.
One thing the X900H definitely did better was upscaling. Playing older Xbox titles definitely looked better with Sony's processing but not by a night and day margin. The sound on the Sony I think was also better, so a soundbar will probably be in my future which is another benefit of the extra HDMI 2.1 inputs as Sony's two limits configurations.
Really can't go wrong with this set.
I was really curious about the X900 upscaling compared to the C9 CX C1
Thanks for sharing
I found the C9 and CX inferior to older Q70R in that regard...
LG processing seems to be a few years behind
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I wouldn't go quite that far. The upscaling is decent, it's just that Sony's is so so good.
I just got this last month. The 65” one and everyday I’m just blown away like I’m seeing it for the first time. Movies are fantastic and games even more immersive.
I have the 65 C1, got it in mid November 2021. You just cant beat the picture quality of this beast. Everytime I turn it on a drool. The Best!
I'm with you, great video.
Nice oled, I bought this tv a couple of months ago and I love it
That's awesome, it's such a nice TV.
My C9 is still chugging away after 2 years, still a brilliant screen, still no burn-in (I colour checked it last week). Feel like I hit the sweet spot with cost, future proofing and capabilities. I'll think about getting the C5 when it comes along. :-)
Only thing missing is no 4k120 hz Dolby vision on C9. Just CX, C1 and future models. C9 does have the DTS decoder though which is slick
@@jackherbert7694 I bought C9 55 December 2019, it does have 120hz and it’s native 4k .thanks to HDTV Test channel, *LG listened and updated C9 to 2.1 HDMI in 2020*

Thanks! In this video I'm using the LIFX Z Strip, but I've also used Govee. Both are great.

You’re in for a treat haha
I just discovered your channel yesterday and your content is amazing, im addicted to it 😅
I've already seen a lot of reviews about tv's for gaming in your channel, im really interested in this specific model.
Keep the good content mate!
Thank you!
Yes! I love it! I got mines late last year. I forgot all about it and that it was on my list to buy so glad I got it and didn't waste a dime buying it. Couldn't believe it has gamer mode and all when I fully found out onece I got home. I thought I was buying a regular TV with OLED but this TV is special. the 2022 model can wait..
I’ve recently been playing Mortal Kombat 11 in HDR on my RTX 3080 PC with HGIG and it looks incredible! I suppose it should look just as good on the PS5.
Oh wow, nice setup!
Had the LG C1 for around 2 weeks, man am I late to the party. Unbelievable tv, I’m literally blown away by the picture quality
I got mine last week mate, absolutely love it. Got the 55” C1 $1700 on sale
NICE OLED!
I picked up the G1 65" couple months back, so many improvements since my last OLED. EG9600B
I've recommended the C1 to so many people who have actually got it.
such a awesome all around everything tv.
Nice OLED, your videos helped me to choose this tv as it was a good price and a great overall tv for gaming on PS5 and watching films, Cant wait to see what news videos you produce in 2022. Lets go!
Ah thank you Sean, I appreciate it.
Many of the burn in OLED comments are made by people who live in the past. Very early OLED models did have some burn in issues but the technology has vastly improved since then.
I play FIFA... NBA .... GTA 5... MK11 ... HUD always problem for burn in OLED... ABL in sports game still very aggressive
I agree. The thing is a lot talk about it, so it must exist (somewhere), I’ve just never experienced it.
@@SpawnPoiint I’ve had the c7 going on for four years and I have burn in. My previous tv was a Samsung plasma which I had for 7 years and had very little burn in. My tv in the living just stopped working (12 year old Samsung plasma) and I couldn’t justify buying the c1 because of burn in. I went ahead and ordered the Samsung qn90. I’m waiting for it to be delivered.
Bro I don’t think you know how good of a tech reviewer you are, like I love your edit skills and design of everything, truly thank you❤️
Always loved the aesthetic of your room , the vibe !
Thank you 🙏
Great review update. Totally agree regarding the lag through menu selections, however overall quality of viewing makes this a minor gripe. Personally I’ve really enjoyed visiting some Marvel films again in Dolby vision which has been phenomenal. 👍
I totally agree, it’s very minor in the grand scheme of things.
I've had a 55 inch C1 since mid December. I sold my Sony XH90 to part fund the upgrade and it certainly is an upgrade! I can't explain it but the P.Q is on a different level. It just feels so much deeper and crisper.
1080p content looks almost 4K. The Blacks still look incredible. Watching the Australian Open final today was a double treat.
I use my P.C to game and engaging VRR at 4k@120 is awesome. I do active the gaming dashboard just to see the "Nvidia Gsync" logo. Yes, odd behaviour I guess!
Sound is good from my wall mounting.position although I use my A/V reciever for movie time.
I still think Pasengers and The Martian are my favourite films for literal eye candy.
When watching Premiere League I've seen no vertical banding at all. Even better than my old Sony 900e which is still really good to watch now.
The Home Screen is laggy but I can live with that.
In summation I'd say this is my best TV to date and I've had a few over the decades.
I'm just watching The Green Planet now in HLG 4K and it's incredible!
Great follow on review btw.
Awesome comment and good to hear about your experience! Enjoy 💪
How do you find gaming on this tv compared to led tech? Ive seen so many comparisons where the led is just waaay brighter.
@@sj460162Compared to My previous XH90/900H I feel its better. Even though the Sony used Forum VRR I feel the smoothness of the C1 just feels more polished.
As for brightness, I never had my Sony on higher than about a quarter brightness. Once I increased the brightness to much it seems to blow out the image a bit.
My C1brightness doesn't go above 60 percent in SD viewing and it's plenty bright enough for me. Of course, in your personal viewing environment you may need a brighter image but it works well for me.
And the image is defo a level in quality higher 👌
@@garysgreat1 Ok thanks for the feedback
@@sj460162 No probs mate. Its always a difficult decision buying a TV. At least I won the Pannel lottery this time lol!
I've been loving my 65" C1 as well. I also noticed how responsive it is, especially when playing games at 120fps where the input lag is so minimal it feels instant. Even games like Dead Space 2 with the fps boosted to 60, look and feel incredible. Funnily enough, Dolby Vision is my main gripe with this TV as everything with it on seems to look too dark, even with the brightness settings adjusted. Like the picture quality is good with DV, but just too dark and not as good as HDR10 in my opinion, so I prefer to use that instead.
Yea i agree, DV when watching witcher through the app vs Witcher in HDR 10 on my series x, both look good but HDR10 is just more brighter and colorful. Also for some wierd reason, DV on the series x netflix app looks terrible compared to the tv app. But the C1 for gaming is great.
@@theelusivememe1772 That's interesting how it varies on both. I watch all my video content from the TV apps but have noticed that Dolby Vision looks considerably darker than everything else. I think it's still in its infancy. Vincent from HDTVTest did a video how much worse it looks on Halo Infinite compared to HDR. I actually have DV gaming turned off now on my Series X.
Make sure you have energy saver turned off and use Cinema Home if you want Dolby vision a little brighter in an accurate mode.
@@socratese5 I do. If i use dolby vision I use it an standard since I like the color that it offers more.
Honestly I’m in love with the way you record and edit man. Solid
..OLED
Absolutely love my C1 which I got back in April. Perfect for gaming, movies and sports like the football and tennis! ⚽🎾
The C1 is a fast TV and easy to change settings. You can even use the LG remote as a PS5 remote. C1 is truly a smart TV.
You can?! How? I've got my ps5 hooked up to my 65" c1 and would love to hear more.
Nice OLED! I'm thinking the C1 will be my first OLED in the very near future. I'd go for the C2, but the C1 is cheaper, and definitely better for my wallet.
Agree. I can now get the C1 for $1100 to $1300 or pay $1800 for a C2. Hmmm. Thanks, but I can apply the difference to an XBoxc X, PS5 or a Sound Bar.
@@wallyjohnn6434 I've had the C1 for a couple of months now, and I'm loving it. Plenty bright for me. Luckily I already had a PS5, so I picked up a new LG soundbar as well.
@@TrexxArmz I still have a PS4 and can't stand to play BDs on it because it displays all movies too darkly. That's when I power up the PS3. It plays a lot brighter. I found if I set the 55C1 Display to APS, power saving mode, the PS4 actually plays brighter, on par with the PS3. Since the PS4 does not play 4K BDs, I power up the XBox One, instead. I just don't like that it tends to get warm, so I do not leave it in Stand-by Power Mode.
I'm still trying to get used to the slight stutter on the C1. Playing around with the Motion settings changes the screen brightness and colour settings. Calibrating the unit, changing the Motion settings and then having to go back and try to get it close to the original calibration is tedious and self-defeating.
So far those are the two deficiencies that frustrate me. Because of the stutter I found a Pioneer Kuro 50" to tide me over and hope to some day repair my LG 60PA6500. I'd get a Kuro 60" but at 133 pounds it is too heavy, especially since the 55G2 weighs 37 pounds without the stand and 47 pounds with the stand. The 55C1 weighs 42 pounds without the stand and 51 pounds with stand.
One thing I really appreciate with the C1 GUI is that it is not cluttered with apps. It isn't a "Smart" TV in that sense but it should appeal to those of us that prefer "Dumb" TVs. I use a Fire Cube for my apps.
The other thing I appreciate is that when tuning a weak signal the display does not get blocky, unlike the 60PA6500 where I had to enter APS mode to be able to watch an OTA channel. Thank goodness it has a good ATSC tuner.
Nice OLED! I have one and I love it. I’m also glad you mentioned image retention too. I was pretty concerned about that myself
Thanks for watching. Yes, absolutely no concern.
Thanks to videos like yours, I ended up picking up the C1 48 inch for the PS5 and Series X
No way. That’s awesome 🙏
The c1 is an amazing jaw dropping tv no doubt about that. But I feel like qleds just can't be overlooked.
Im currently playing the uncharted 4 update on the ps5. Started it on the my c1. Decided to hook it up to my qled (q90t) to play on the couch (using OLED as pc monitor). Holy hell what a difference it was. The qled just smacked me in the face. That hdr brightness, colors popping. The Scotland mission where you are outside during the day was so much better on the qled. I was literally blinded by the sun. Ofc when you go to a darker scene, that's where the c1 shines. But the q90t doesnt do too bad as well. I felt like I just wanted to continue the game on the qled.
Really excited to see the new qd OLEDs. If they can merge these two tvs together I'm definitely going to be looking into those if they don't cost an arm and a leg.
Great video as usual mate!
LG C1 is definately the best for gaming on XSX, PS5 and watching movies.
Got it last year on sale, after using C6 for 4 years.
Did your C6 show any burn in?
@@Tougebeat No. There were no problems.
@@Tougebeat The burn in may have been a problem long ago.
It's not an issue nowadays.
Also noone leaves a frozen image on the tv for hours/days.
@@cristi8183 That’s good because I bought my first OLED (LG C1) and I was a bit worried.
Thank you for the honest and good review. Im getting one for myself tomorrow mainly thanks to this video. Big fan of your work, keep it going pal.
That’s awesome! Leave a new comment with your thoughts once you’ve used it, would love to hear them.
Thank you for making me purchase this tv. I remember few months ago I was watching videos on QN90A and this. And one of things I loved about your video was how your tv was in a well lit room and that solidified the deal for me.
Now I cannot go back to led TVs 😂.
I looked at this TV but chose the A90j. More expensive but the sound and having a Google OS made it worth the extra. The lg is still a good value TV however.
Value TV? Get the f*ck out of here. Who do you think makes the OLED panel for Sony?
I’m so jealous of the black PS5. That was the main reason why I didn’t want to buy it at launch. Black on electronics is just more clean and sleek to me. It’s ironic how Sony finally releases more panel colors but not more consoles😂
Just bought the 77in. It will be delivered soon. I can't wait
Great review, really helps me. I was going back and forth between a 65" C1 or 75" TCL R646. I typically sit 9 feet away which is fine for 65" but sometimes I sit 12-13 feet back on a farther couch and could be not as good viewing on a 65 vs 75, but the quality difference just seems like its worth it and to just try and sit 9 feet away as much as possible lol
The only bad thing about this TV is once you own this thing you don't want anything else. Spoiled
Thank you for uploading this video mate!
Just bought the 65 inch and I love it. Still need to play around with the picture settings but honestly it’s so perfect
Just got the 48" C1 three days ago and it's incredible!
I got the G1 for my newly build home theater in September and instantly fell in love. It’s just amazing to watch movies on it.
Great choice!
Nice OLED! I have both of my next gen consoles in box still just waiting for the next generation of these oleds
Just got my C1 yesterday and it already blows my mind and blows away any tv I have owned. It pretty much has every feature I need and the PQ is just stunning so I have no need for any more tv's at this point. I own the LG B10 OLED as well which is going to my wife. My B10 is excellent as well but compared to my C1? There is no comparison is all I will say. Excellent video.
Nice oled! Glad you still like the C1 77” as I finally cracked and ordered one on Friday. Looking forward to seeing how it handles 4K movie playback from Plex and gaming on the Xbox Series X and PS5 compared to my C8 65”.
Thank you. Movies look so nice on this!
