The perfect balance between enthusiast and the everyman. Cheers Caleb
Cheers!
@@Caleb_Denison Hello I need so quick guidance Ive seen your videos countless times and am torn on what to get. A80j 65 inch or c1 in 65 inch . Im not a gamer and will mostly be streaming netflix etc and know I cant go wrong. Please advise what you would go with personally.
I just got the 48C1 and am simply blown away by how good it looks. The addition of VRR is truly a game changer and screen tearing is now a thing of the past. Farcry 6 is simply gorgeous on this TV. I predict LG is going to be selling these things like hotcakes and if you are a serious console gamer lucky enough to have scored one of the next gen machines you should seriously consider getting one of these sets. Heck sell one of the kids if you have to (jk) or at the very least get them to start mowing lawns or something for extra scratch lol. You will not be disappointed. I upgraded from a Sony X900e BTW and game on the XSX. Great channel and thanks for the recommendation!
Nice so you have the ps5 and did you buy a 8k hdmi cable
@@MC-ie8xl Using the Series X and an HDMI 2.1 cable. Waiting on the PS5 until it gets 4k at 120hz Dolby Vision VRR figured out and the next Uncharted game is released which is really the only exclusive PS franchise that I'm interested in.
My TVs that I have upgraded from:
LG 4K TV (2016 or 2017)
32 Vizio 1080p (2017 or 2018) (because LG broke)
49 LG 4K TV UN7000 (2020)
55 LG Nano85 (needed a TV for HDMI 2.1)
65 LG CX (2021) (because Nano85 broke) bought July 4th
65 LG C1 (because CX black screened of death after 40 days)
I’m waiting till tomorrow to open my C1, OLED is the best technology and I have triple dipped on TVs because of my ignorance. When you upgrade, ALWAYS buy the best! LG made me send back the CX and I got my refund, I have lived without a TV for 3 months and now I can stop using my LED monitors.
I just got c1 4k gaming is stunning but sub 4k looks shot
Enjoy that burn in brah.
Just got a 48 inch for 899€ with a three year warranty and I can’t get over how good the tv is. One of the walls of the room is a gigantic window and the tv is perpendicular to it, absolutely zero problems with brightness. Infact I reduced it and use energy saving on medium so that the tv automatically adjusts as daylight decreases
Explanation for judder/stutter and crushed blacks in this video are superb. Great review!
Our planet the sea 🌊 episode took my breathe away seeing the details in every animal. Especially the big herd of smaller fish swimming in the same direction. I love that show. hands down best way to show off a great oled tv
Dude, you like Polyphia?? They are one of my favorite bands. That video for G.O.A.T is insane. Was stoked to see this! Great content btw. Keep killin it, and rock on Brotha 🤘🏼.
We just purchased a smaller c1 on sale to use use as our secondary tv. Our main tv is a 65" lg oled that's a few years old now and we're so happy with it that we decided to upgrade our second tv to an lg oled as well :). Lg oleds truly are the best tvs out there imo.
Just bought a 65” C1 to replace a 55” C9. This is the third LG OLED that I have owned. All have been solid performers!
Does the c1 really have that much better of upscaling and motion handling than the c9/cx or is it kinda unnoticeable/not very different?
@@sharebear421 Personally I did not see a significant difference. I bought the 65C1 mostly for a bigger screen. The 55C9 was rock solid.
I just brought a 65’ C1 LG Oled tv and it’s the first Oled tv I have ever owned and wow the pictures and sound is truly breathtaking, what an amazing tv I love my new big screen Oled tv 🥰
I purchased my LG C1 55inch for £1140. I am stunned and so excited to use this TV every day, if you are a gamer and want the best for gaming, this is the best.
Great review! In future could you please take a few seconds to show the screw holes used for wall mounting brackets, and mention the dimensions between them? Thank you.
Getting this tv delivered and installed in 5 hours so excited!!
I just bought this TV and everything you've said is spot on. Brilliant review. We game and love sports and I can honestly say this TV is amazing...
Hi, Can you tell me how you pause/play media playback? The remote doesn't seem to have dedicated buttons to do this task
Did you get the ps5 for it
@@MC-ie8xl partly but I love movies too..sports aswell
Cannot fault this TV at all
The C1 has a really great sale going on at Best Buy (as of April 4, 2022) currently priced at the $999 in the 48”, $1099 in the 55” (this is what I chose!), $1699 in the 65”, $2799 in the 77”, and $4499 in the 83”!
im about to get the 55 rn
I got an open box 55inch C1 for $700. So far so good 1 month later!🤞
That price difference is actually ridiculous between 55 and 65...if 65 goes to 1300 ill get it
I got the 65" on ebay for 1499. after having a 800 credit score and getting denied at best buy.
@@keithsmith6356 theres no way you got denied at best buy with 800, i had 690 and they let me, now mine is close to 800
Bought a CX last year at your recommendation. I can't express how great it is
Have you dealt with any burn in on it so far?
@@Flojani no way and I game a LOT
Thanks again for the amazing review - I watch every single one of your videos. I would love to know more about the differences between the G1 and the C1 - basically I want to know if the extra money is worth it for the G1! :-) Thanks again...
Going to be picking my c1, 65 in up today after work im stoked cannot wait to plug my PS5. Thank you for the nudge.
I just got mine ! AMAZINGGG!
How do you like your TV? Need a new one now that my girl took it when we separated...lol
Got this set ordered for my Series X. Cannot wait. The gaming feature set is what made me ultimately choose this over a Samsung 9 series.
How is the series x looking on it?
I saw one of these in costco, and the image quality just looked perfect.
I bought the TV yesterday and will be here next week. I can't wait.
I could listen to caleb talk about tvs all day.
Loving the steady stream of content 👍👍👍
I've had a CX for a year and it's the best 1200 I've ever spent. Since they're so hard to find now, and I want another one, I have no problem getting a C1 a year later for the exact same price. Now my girl and I will each have beast gaming TV's. So stoked.
Looking forward to the Sony A80J review. I'm between the C1, G1, and A80J for my TV this year.
I still went for the CX 65” here in London, UK. It was on market for a good price of £1899 and I got a 10% discount on top of it. Extremely happy with my purchase!
nice. my 77” c1 just delivered. How is your cx holding up??
@@skutt3506 still loving the CX 👍🏼
@@anishshah9775 excellent thank you
I just got a 64 inch today. Is that too big for gaming? In your opinion?
@@devketchem1955 I think it’s a perfect size. Not too big for me. To enjoy this brilliant resolution better to go for 65 than any smaller
Got a 65 C1 a few months ago, and i'm blown away every single day. Sometimes it's even too bright, lightsabers in Obi-Wan Kenobi in Dolby Vision are literally burning my eyes even in Cinema mode. I love it.
Also, there was an update this week, WebOS got way, way faster. I retired my Chromecast with GoogleTV because of this update.
Also GOAT from Polyphia slaps, nice.
How is it in daylight? I just god Samsung neo qled but thinking about returning it for lg oled
Got the C1 this past March and it ticks ALL the boxes I was looking for in a tv. So is it still the best choice even in 2022? Hell yes. From PQ, Build Quality you name it I freaking love it and will not upgrade for a few years or more.
Awesome review as always man, would love to see Vs videos for those cheaper Visio TVs
Massive fan, and this is always my channel for every new TV I buy. I have a C1 coming for my PS5, and will pass everything through my my digital receiver to the TV. Could you offer a detailed settings guide for optimising the TV for gaming and movies? Thanks for all you do!
Just got a 48 inch C1 and Wow! One of the best reviews. 👍🏼
The hardest thing to get used to when switching to a 48" CX for gaming was dealing with true blacks in gaming scenes. On a bright monitor blacks look grey or so bright that you can still see the parts of scenes that are supposed to be black. On an OLED black is truly black. It was hard to get used to at first, but then you realize this is how it is supposed to look and that is part of the challenge inherent in the game you're playing. Once you go OLED you'll never go back whether it's TV, Gaming, Streaming, Blu-ray, etc... I think the prices will remain flat for the C1. There's nothing else on the market that provides the same degree of flexibility and features (4 HDMI 2.1 ports, Free/G Sync, etc.) Until someone releases a TV to match it LG is not gonna be in a hurry to lower price. I wish you could get a 48" G1...
My wife got me this for Father’s Day , I’m a blessed man !
Telle how it is
Recently purchased the *CX65* from JL (5yr warranty) for £1799 & it's incredible so this C1 should be amazing 👍🏻
One word, Awesome! Review. Greetings from Canada.
Love your channel man. So what do you do with all the TVs after?
Watching this with my new lg c1 48. I’ve upgraded my old tv that ive been using since 2013, mindblown about the picture quality of this tv, i’d say money well spent
I actually originally bought a 50 inch M7 Vizio as a secondary TV for the bedroom, but I'm use to my Sony OLED that I couldn't go back to a regular LED TV. Loving this C1.
Excellent review dude God bless you keep the good work up 😊
Excellent video Caleb! Question - How do you correct the colors and calibrate your TV?
First TV I’ve spent more than £1k on, worth every penny. Best screen I’ve ever owned by far.
Same. I remember telling myself a year or so ago that I will never spend this much money on a tv...I have no regrets buying the C1. It's an amazing tv!
@@KenEstiller same hahah
Through out my CX 77" when this was released! OMG perfect black levels, 120hz, 4k! WOW!
I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a C1. Going to pick it up tonight.
Really felt like it was time to upgrade to something that would best pair with my PS5 and Series X.
People complaining about nits, like, am I the only one who prefers playing games and watching media in a room with the blinds closed? I want to reduce as much ancient light as possible.
would love to see a video comparing professional calibration on the C1 to the new Apple TV 4K content calibration
Guys is the a dramatic difference between the LG c1 and the Sony z9 j 75 inch when it come to realistic picture quality?regardless of the price ?
Pickup my 65" c1 soon can't wait!
Great stuff... Can't wait to get one...
Love the new intro❤️
Caleb, can you share the color measurements pre-calibration? I know it can differ per panel, but I've seen other reviews (Rtings in particular) say their C1 had terrible out of the box color accuracy. Thanks!
Yes, I was wondering the same thing.
Hope there’s a C1 calibration/optimal settings vid coming soon :)
Sadly even with a video showing how he calibrated his won't help much by way of another panel with different colors being pushed, I feel you, I'm considering having mine calibrated when I get it, if I can't figure out how to balance the colors myself anyways lol
@@mythoti He’s probably not talking about pin-point calibration but for general calibration and settings, since almost nobody cares for professional calibration, as it’s too expensive for the extremely minimal difference it provides in most high end TV’s of today.
@@Miha-ii3dy well said. Most are just looking for a starting point and not a professional calibration.
upvote!
@@Miha-ii3dy Yes well said, as long the TV colour reproduction doesn't looks weird at very least, it should be fine for most peoples. Same case with motion smoothing. We AV nerds may hate it to the T but many regular peoples actually prefer, so it's matter of opinion. My 2 cents
Picked up the 48A9S master series from Sony and thought that it would just be a huge picture quality champion vs the C1.
I could never get the picture to look anything but dull, since the A9S ABL was so aggressive that I could never get it bright enough in any condition.
I swapped it out for the 48C1 and I haven’t looked back.
The gaming features, especially with the Dolby vision update on the Series X, it’s almost untouchable among its peers.
Thanks for all you do Caleb.
Just bought one 65” thanks Caleb!
Hi, Can you tell me how you pause/ play /rewind and fast forward media content on netflix for example. The remote doesn't seem to have these dedicated buttons
my LD B8 is 3 years old and I love it.. looking at a small C1 for my bedroom and this review confirms its the right choice.
^^ LG lol
got mine for $2100 at Best Buy today. thanks for the reviews, really helped me confirm the choice!
Price dropped to 1800 on October 1st, Best buy refunded be the difference! Love doing business with them
As always the best and amazing in one place
I would love to see a video about jutter versus motion stutter
Almost bought a 77” today! Waiting til Labor Day hoping Costco has a deal on this!
I grabbed c1 55" for $1380 including tax. I was going to wait for 2022 model but after seeing the expected price tag, I just got c1 instead. c1 to c2 performance difference would be very little to justify additional $500-600 price tag and I was sick of my current $500 vizio tv I bought 4 years ago. :D
I have a 55 inch CX, planning ro get another oled for living room when C1 came out and qled q90a i end up buying 77inch CX because nothing much a different between CX & C1.
It would be nice if any reviewer mentioned that out of the box color accuracy of C1 is terrible. Rtings gave it 4.6 out of 10. Not many of us have $2500 SpectraCal Calman Studio laying around to calibrate it ourselves .
Great job Caleb!
Had mine a month now. It's awesome except for one thing: when changing volume, there are no numbers, just up and down icons. It's impossible to tell what the volume is until you hear it. Depending upon the previous source, it can be way too loud or too quiet. Very annoying.
I get numbers when I change volume…something is wrong with your tv
Hi Im a fan of your TV review! Curious question do you have any recommendation what's high-end TV below 42 inch like 32 inch or more?
Wow, your shirt is right at 4K resolution. Shimmer Shimmer. Makes a great test pattern :)
Afternoon, I'm getting my C1 55" tomorrow and so very excited.
Is there an OLED for dummies guide or first things you should do with your LG ?
I'm slightly paranoid that my wife will complain about its darker picture in our bright room.
Cheers.
EDIT: just found your first things you should do video.
I love this channel.
Hi,
Great vid!
Can you post best settings for watching tv/Netflix and best settings for gaming?
Thx!!
Just ordered mine. Game Optimiser , FS Premium and GSync, and discounted prize plus 2 free items thrown it made it too good to pass up.
Upgrading from LG C9.
The TV itself looks great and by year’s end I will upgrade to a 2021 model of some kind, I was looking at this tv and I don’t like to watch tv in the dark and the glare on this tv was killer. I could not believe how much glare it had while watching content. I’m hoping the G1 is better as that one is high on the list.
It’s been a top pick for five years
I somehow forget how much i like this series from Lg
😂
Qn90A vs C1 pls, thats what all are waiting to make a choice!
nice... bought an 83" cant wait for instal... what do you recommend as a good speaker for my living room?
We need that list of blurays!
Just got my C1 was debating between CX but happy with my purchase regardless. Upgrading from X900E
Hi, Can you tell me how you pause/ play /rewind and fast forward media content on netflix for example. The remote doesn't seem to have these dedicated buttons
Would love to see the settings applied, that might've changed from the unboxing video.
Nice to see.
Maybe I'm missing something with the LG remote but why isn't there a button for program information? As on the Sony remote. I'd happily live without all streaming services' buttons and actually have fewer buttons overall and instead have a well made GUI for the streaming services and such.
BTW: If anywhere that stand will reflect the sound to the ceiling : )
Just picked up a 48C1 for $779 ($899 Sale + $120 in Rewards). Can't wait to set it up!
Best tech channel on TH-cam.
Thx you. Could you make a video of good calibration ? Some recommandation in the values, I know it’s quite specific but would be awesome!
I'm sure that would cost people got to eat everything isn't free
@@DETERMINOLOGY In about another decade being a professional tv calibrator will be like having a career right now as a web designer is, a dead profession.
Hate the full screen pop menu and suggesting apps sounds like a pain . I guess I'll have to keep it off line since I don't use the internal apps anyway.
Have a Nvidia Shield and Apple tv for that.
Thanks for the review.
Once again no mention of ambience auto brightness which on the CX only appears to work on Dolby Vision, plus the adjustment of black crush only available in Game mode on the CX,
I‘ve ordered a 48LG C19 a week ago for 1050€. It should get here tomorrow. I’m excited af.
🙏Thank you Mr. Denison. Brought the 55inch variant for 2000$ in Bangalore,India. Yet to installed by engineer. I will first watch that Netflix video you suggested
Its on sale all over bangalore and I might get one soon? Any signs of burn in so far? Burn in topics on the internet are really divided and is stopping me from pulling the trigger.
@@sakthisudanss2341 no complaints, go for it
Just got my c1 48" in today.. my back is the brushed silver look, not white 👌
I just got a C1 48 inch for $850 from best buy it comes in a few day!!!! Super excited 😄
I'm hoping to get a 65' on Black Friday, I hope it goes down under $1500, that would be perfect
Any way you can show us if the new setting under their motion settings “cinematic movement” works to reduce stutter in 24fps movies without introducing too much soap opera effect? I returned the CX last year because the stutter was too hard on my eyes.
Caleb - Let’s see a head to head G1 to C1. Can you see the difference?
Caleb you said C1 is not as bright as G1 .. all the measurements im seeing its almost exact same nits and only 2% more color. Were you assuming or in person you see the extra pop?
Robert z from VE said C1 got a new panel but not evo seems like the new processor is pulling that extra brightness
He said in a previous video he no longer has the G1 with him 😔
@@damonblackburn2434, every TV reviewer. Has said the G1 is 20% brighter than any other lg oled. So I don't know why you say it's the same measurements. It's not a huge leap but it is brighter. He said in his video comparing G1 to A90J. The G1 had brighter nits than the Sony. Except in vivid mode on the A90J.
The G1 so far tested is the brightest oled in a normal (average consumer) viewing mode . A90J does get really bright but only in vivid, it's lower than the G1 in other modes.
Panasonic will probably be the brightest Oled this year though from a manufacturer (evo panel plus heatsink).
@@stealth2951 lots of ppl have said that but when you actually measure peak brightness on C1 and G1 they are measuring the same right around 750. I think it has more to do with the new processing increasing brightness than the Evo panel I've seen multiple measurements from different reviewers all point to about 750 avg
Also the C1 is measuring brighter in SD
Thank you me and my wife just ordered this TV.
A video on best upscaling TVs please!!
I would love to see this up against the Sony A90J, reason being is I would really love to get the 83" version of either and curious if the extra cost of the Sony is worth it or if the diminishing returns hit hard here.
For gaming the C1 destroys the Sony
@@W1Z_38 oh agree, I am more of a 75% movies 25% gaming so image quality etc. is important and after calibration both sets I am sure are super close. I prefer the google interface on the Sony, but agree 100% the LG is made for gaming. since the 83" is new and costly, I might wait till this next year to see the changes and the cost coming down etc. But appreciate your comment.
Loving this review. May i ask which soundbar do you recommend having with this TV? I bought already the C1 55 size version for a relatively small room (almost 12 m²) and is mounted on a wall.
Sonos Arc!!! If you're going to spend the money on this TV, get the Arc.
@@MG91978 ... huh? That doesn't make any sense ;) If you bought another TV you'd still have crap sound.
Would love to see a comparison between the C1 and QN90A. Or OLED vs Neo QLED
IMO oled will win every time unless your tv is going on a literal sunroom. In fact, I feel like the qn90a is TOO bright sometimes.
Guys is the a dramatic difference between the LG c1 and the Sony z9 j 75 inch when it come to realistic picture quality?regardless of the price ?
@@arronworrell1354 Yes massive difference! C1 is amazing
Just bought the 77 CX for a good price here in Australia. Very happy!

All the Oleds this year have been great so far . C1 looks like my top choice. I hope the price gets closer to $1900-$2000

"And now we go on to gaming " and then i liked the video and realized why i subscribed. I don't know alot about televisions only i really like the OLED one and i am deiciding what to buy this a new television or pc Components
Another awesome video!!!!
I got this tv in 55 inch and the only I can say is awesome and perfect 🤩
Is the picture quality the same as 48 inch?
do you guys know why LG removed the HDR effect option from the C1 ? It was so effective in the C 10.
Glad I got the C1. I'm a very happy customer.
I got the 55" C1 for $1100 and no tax. Great deal and it's not even black friday yet.
I would have loved to hear about the gaming aspect of the tv
The C1 is built for gamers. I just upgraded from a Sony X900e LCD panel to a 48 inch C1 and the difference is night and day. The best feature IMHO is the variable refresh rate software that virtually eliminates screen tearing. I was experiencing significant screen tearing in FC6 on my XSX and after getting this set it has gone away completely. It was worth the upgrade for that reason alone but when you also throw in the OLED visual quality, Dolby Vision and 120hz this is really a no-brainer. This is the first time in a long time that I have been so blown away by a freaking television set lol. Hope this helps Chris.
When you speak of an issue with picture ie:STUDDER could you point to it? I often don't know where to look for the issue..before you change the picture. Thanks for the explanation of terms!
Great stuff Caleb, as always 👍🏼
P. S. No I don't like soap opera effect either 🙄
Thank you for the comment and the validation, lol. Appreciate it.
