Upgraded to this C2 from my C9 ... Best Buy said I had burn-in on my C9 (kicker, I didnt!) so.... C9 went into a box for later use and BB sent out a new C2 to me! My first thoughts - C2 is snappier and the picture is brighter. So far, LOVE this tv and it's certainly noticeably better than the C9 which feels like the first step into what we have with the C2 ... like the C9 was the first to get the GSYNC option and LG began to embrace gaming, both PC and console gaming. What a time to be alive in the A/V world!
Just bought this TV at costco for $638 after taxes, got the C2 55". Had to upgrade from my C1 48", so I took advantage of the great deal and I LOVE this TV. great video man
When the motion settings are grayed out, go to the AI menu and disable AI genre. Then the motion settings should be adjustable. If any of the motion smoothing settings are on, Cinema Screen will be grayed out. Turn off the true motion settings if you want to use Cinema Screen.
@@ClassyTechCalibrations I have a lg b1 and I only watch videos and movies(23hz) and I can not watch movies without truemotion. But when connecting to my desktop pc the truemotion gets grayed out due to hdmi is in pc mode. so I have to set hdmi to standard mode or home theater mode. And I also have to disable gsync on nvidia panel. All this have to be done to let me use the tv with my pc to watch videos. Shouldnt this be unecassry and Lg should allow this to be used. Surely many watch videos on their pc and need interpolation to do so. I find it strange that I have to do all of this to not let truemotion get grayed out. And I find it very strange that gsync needed to be deactivated on nvidia panel. Could it be that something is wrong with my tv set or there is another fix or way to do this?
@@tampayt7728 that's the way it is because of the processing required for true motion to be on. PC mode disables additional processing for less input lag.
Welcome to evo techno but I still think LG 2019 are one of the best telly, yep that's how I have my earc setup pass through you nailed everything nothing to complain about
Great video, I'm taking some notes. I might have an 83" LG G2 now on the way. It'll be my first OLED having used various LCD flat panels and JVC projectors. Need to learn all the ins and outs of the settings.
Very good review. You and a few others have convinced me to get this TV hopefully this holiday season. I just got 1 question. Is calibrating the TV colors necessary? I've heard from some content creators that it kinda is.
My pioneer receiver is 4k HDMI 2.0 60hz, therefore without having to replace my receiver does it make sense to plug my 120 hz bell Fibe HDMI direct into HDMI 1 on the TV then run my sound from tv to the receiver using an optical cable?
@@TechnoDad If I would use arc I would would lose my 120hz if I hooked up a from the output of the bell box to the receiver then receiver to arc. Then I am back to buying a 120hz tv and not being able to utilize it due to my receiver being only HDMI 2.0 limiting to 60HZ
Great video. Really appreciate all the tips - especially the ones for the audio…. Sooooo many people miss out on those and don’t set it up correctly! Keep up the good content! 👍👍👍💯
Just found your channel after buying the C2 from best buy last night, I am DYING to know what those little red bulb thingys are!?!?! I'm not very techy sooooo, wanna tell me please? The TV and sound bar all works so I'm confused haha
I really like how denon handles hdmi cec and arc, being able to listen to music and switch sources is the way it should work, i wish yamaha and pioneer could support that feature. With Oled having been out for ages, how dont most sound systems with hdmi handle this. think im going qn95b, only because cant be bothered with burn in, s95b or sonys qd oled would be my first pick, then a80k then c2.
Right on! I think Sony is sending me an A80K. It's on my list. The Samsung Q90T and QN90A were good LCD/LED TVs, so I'm sure the newer QN95B should be good. Finger's crossed...
@@TechnoDad Mad! Yeah A80K should be great alternatative to c2. i would go sony mini led but no 55 inch. youll get a s95b in and game over, ill be surprised if you can control yourself, im not even going to look at one in store lol
Just watching your video about the LG C2 . You have become a Master at doing TV reviews.They flow so smoothly and are very well done. KUDO'S to you buddy and hope you enjoy your TV's.

@@keepingupwiththejones2933 yo Jones that's what I'm about. I've been watching Channa D for years. He has remained the same guy and has not got a swollen head like some of these guys who have gotten thousands of subscribers to their channels.
Great video with lots of useful information, I'm thinking of purchasing this same TV and same size myself, did the TV seem heavy when you were carrying it, a lot of reviewers have said it's quite heavy but you never see them moving it like you were, another thing do I plug my sound bar into the eARC or will any hdmi socket do.
Hi! I’d say it’s about average. I have taken it with me to my night job, so I do love it around. In fact, I’ll be taking it to my work tonight for some gaming. Yes, you’re soundbar should be connect to the eARC port.
There are plenty of negative feedback in regards to what happened with the Samsung S95B after receiving the latest firmware update which affected picture quality and some cases bricked the remote controls.
Thanks for all the tips! I have a 65” C3, Sonos Arc Soundbar and Gen 3 Sonos subwoofer coming at the end of this month along with plugging in my PS5 so I’ll sure I’ll be referencing this video a few more times 😂🫡
I've been buying LG OLED TVs for the last few years and I've noticed the picture quality getting better but the functionality has gotten worse over the years. WebOS, settings and everything else besides picture quality and the build was better on the C9 in my opinion.
I just upgraded to a 4K OLED TV, an AVR that supports 4K, and an Apple TV 4K. The OLED TV has the ability to run many of the apps I have installed on my Apple TV 4K (AppleTV+, Disney+, Hulu, Nextflix, Plex, etc.). Because eARC supports audio going in either direction between the OLED TV and the AVR, I'm wondering: From a picture/audio quality point of view, is it better to connect the devices to the TV or to the AVR? I'm leaning towards connecting them to the AVR; however, this video shows them connected to the TV. Does it matter?
Can I have my xbox in hdmi 1, ps5 in hdmi 3 and sound bar in hdmi 2Arc, and get audi to my sound bar while playing either console? In other word's, can the hdmi 2 arc output be used only for audi to my sound bar while the TV still gives out the video image from one of the other hdmi ports/consoles? ATM I'm using an optical cable for audi only to my sound bar, but it just won't sync correctly.
Great info, just bought a 77 inch C2 and have a 42 C2 as my pc monitor. Do the 77 and 42 have a back protective cover?? I didn't notice it. I'll have to look...got me wondering!
Hey Techno Dad! I stream only TV, sports and movies. I use Apple TV 4K and am not a gamer (old guy). I'm considering the 42" LG C2 (899 at Best Buy today) and Sony Bravia XRA90K 1149 at Best Buy today). I only have room for 42" and there are not many choices anymore. I'm leaning towards the Sony as the room is brighter during the day with glare in the afternoon. Is either a better choice? Thanks, David
I cant press on the game optimized, its written set up features to enjoy the game more realistically. It only works with hdmi inputs???!!! Can anyone help?
So, LG C2 doesn't support DTS. Can a 4k Blu-ray player be plugged separately into both the TV (for visual) and an AV receiver (for audio), so that you still can get the DTS X audio in your speakers when watching a Blu-rays that are in DTS X? And if that is correct, can the C2 also be connected to the AV receiver for when you stream movies? I have physical media and would hate not to be able to utilize DTS that many of them have.
You said use an 8k HDMI cable from receiver to TV? I wonder if that's why I'm not getting Atmos. Currently running Sony HT-A9 connected to eARC/ARC port on LG C2. I get Dolby Vision but no Atmos...anyone got any ideas?
I just bought a c2, my soundbar I use hdmi arc for my 5.1 sound system but for some reason on my Xbox now I used to get 5.1 uncompressed sound but now it only allows me to get stereo uncompressed. Any help?

I just got this TV, and I'm so disappointed. I've gone trough the entire setup and after turning the TV on it got stuck on "Press the OK button (wheel) on the remote" screen - pressing OK turns it off, actually pressing anything on the remote turns it off, and there is no way for me to move on from that screen. If anyone had a similar experience or possibly knows how to fix this, would appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks
I cannot for the life of me get the TV picture to look even close to it streaming. Bought the pearl doesn't work just audio no picture I'm so frustrating.
I feel if you are already invested in the LG Oled TV brand that is already proven, I see no need to spend more money on a new "TV Tech" that hasn't actually proved itself yet in the long term. Save your money you already own an excellent TV!
@@Kapono5150 A 42inch C2 hitting a 1000 nits? Where did you see that when a 55inch cant do that?. My C1 dont hit a 1000 nits and I could give a damn cause its bright enough for me. I remember one time it was all about deep blacks and contrast ratio. Now its all about what nit count a tv has and brightness forsaking accuracy. My how technology has changed.
Shout out Techno Dad you helped me with the setup of my first oled LGC2 went with that over the new Sony and Samsung for the gaming features this TV is freaking awesome!! I have a Dennon AVR and appreciated the showing of ARC settings 👍
That blue shirt with the pink flamingos is straight 🔥🔥🔥. Channa you certainly care about the details. That blue light in the back and the pink heart light sign accenting your shirt choice. The review hit all the highlights but didn't feel forced. It felt like an artist knowing where every stroke of the brush is going on the canvas. 🔥👊🔥❤🔥
Because I’ve never owned an AVR, I’d like to understand why you would connect an XBox or nVIDIA Shield, etc. to the TV rather than to the AVR, which has many more HDMI inputs. Thanks.
Chana D hi, Did you end up keeping the Focal speakers? I know you liked them but was curious if you ended up pulling the trigger for your personal rig? Also why do you think Gene hates Auro? I don't get it he's usually spot on but he seems to have a unfair negative bias towards Auro which is probably hurting the brand unfairly in North America when we need to be pushing Auro to encourage the companies and the public to engage in the superior format which will by extension force the manufacturers of the software and hardware to go where the excitement and market share is but if you're throwing Auro 3D under the bus people and companies won't even give it a chance in an olready crowded arena. Just saying I know he usually listens to you maybe you can help his weird bias out?
I had to turn off CEC because the tv kept randomly turning on my Xbox and Playstation when I didn't want to use them. It was great when I wanted to play games because I could turn the entire system on by pressing the button on my controller. But when I didn't want to play games I was constantly having to shut off the game consoles... which would then turn themselves back on again.
Thank you so much for this video! It is the only thing I found that showed the exact set up for the stand that came with my LG C2. The printed directions (which are only pictures) are terribly inadequate. I almost returned my TV just because of that. So frustrating!
Is there a video that only shows how to hook up a Directv DVR , a DVD player and a Bose speaker system (yellow,red cables attached to small Bose volume control receiver on a LG C2 65 inch. NO playstation or other things and a few settings that would give me good Movie and TV show experience.
So I have a question I am planning on getting a Samsung 5.1 Dolby Atmos dtx sound system and I am wanting get the 65 inch tv and I've noticed that it doesn't have earc or arc is it only certain ones that has that
Thank you for making this video. I just picked up the 55" C2 at best buy for $999. Coming from a Samsung 7000 series 50" this thing is AMAZING. Only issue I'm having so far is when I am using the TV with my PC. the image will cut out, go to a black screen for a second and then come back. I do have a HDMI cable the says it is rated for 8k but will be purchasing a different one to see if that helps. The GPU that is in the PC is a Aorus RTX 3070ti. I did not have any issues with the samsung TV once I got this current HDMI cable. I was having similar issues with the generic cable I was using. So I am not sure what might be causing this.
We just received our new LG 65" OLED C2 and I've already went through the setup process and everything seems good except I have a question. We have an older Vizio soundbar hooked up but it doesn't have any HDMI ports, it has some phono style plugs and an optical input. We have an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar. It sounds pretty good for an older one, we also have a Yamaha subwoofer connected to it. I guess my question is this, is there any benefit to connecting our Amazon Firestick to the eARC /ARC HDMI port or any other particular HDMI port? Currently it's connected to the HDMI number 1 port.. Some of these newer features are a little confusing to me.
Also, I have (isf) Expert (Bright space, daytime) selected for the picture mode. So far I think the picture looks awesome but I'm not sure what I would gain by switching the mode to Cinema or Filmmaker. This TV is in our living room which normally doesn't have very much ambient lighting, there's one picture window right behind the TV but we usually keep the light filtering drapes closed so it's usually medium lit in here.
Question, if I have all my sources plugged into my Denon 3800. Do I have to change the picture settings when I watch a SD , HD and 4K source or no? Should I plug my Apple TV or Xboxseries X of 4K BD player straight into the C2? What’s better?
Hi! You should just be using the one input on the TV if everything else is going through the AVR. The picture settings should change automatically depending on HDR types, not really for resolution.
I’m a firm believer that these big tv companies are producing inferior products and selling them like they are better because they are newer. I’ve seen older LG and Samsung TVs that are noticeably better than the newer models. Which means they ARE capable of manufacturing very good televisions but don’t.
Hi. New to you but what great advice and knowledge you’ve shared.Thank you. Fixed a few issues with my 55C2 I recently purchased. I have one question if I’m able to ask? Why is it that when I select an app ,for example Disney Plus it will not play through my Bose surround sound? That goes to all the Apps. I have tried everything but just cannot get them to work. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Very useful guide. I just picked up the LGC2 for about $840. Apparently the picture settings are intentionally garbage out of the box, so it's worth watching another video for this.
I've had my LGC2 and Samsung Q910B soundbar for more than a week. Love the sound/picture, but had no idea until your video that eArc wasn't enabled. I also found a lot of other useful tips. Thanks!
I have an lg c1 matched with an lg sp11ra soundbar and i have problems with dolby atmos or so i think. When i am watching dolby Atmos content on Netflix the soundbar identifies the audio format but the rear speakers or loud as a whisper and it's not speakers related problem because they can get loud when i hear to music. Should i toggle on the sound share mode on tv should i leave it off? Any ideas?
Hi, do you have any info as to why my ps4 has to be powered on in order for me to watch my cable box, I have a denon which before I got the evo c2 the denon allowed me to choose cable without the ps4 being powered on, I was previously able to control my ps3, ps4, n ps5, or is there a way to stop my ps4 from being powered on when I only want to watch cable, it automatically turns on
I notice watching sports on cable it looks great when still close up shot , but pixilates a lot it seems during the wide game shot on basketball and hockey, reguardless of true motion on or off. Cpuld this be my connection from outside ?
@@TechnoDad deff something todo with the cable tv. As it looks much better when I use the amazon fire stick it seems. Might have to switch to fios, or supposedly cable coming out with fiber optic service as well. Very annoying however
Thanks for the helpful setup video. I just bought the 77" and had a question about using a digital optic cable for the soundbar system. I have standard sound bar with sub and two wireless speakers on a rear table. What is better to use for the setup, the HDMI in the ARC and do all the settings, or is the digital optic cable fine? Do I still need to mess with settings for this? Thanks
HDMI ARC is a better option. It supports Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, and up to 7.1 channels of uncompressed audio while Digital Optical only supports Dolby Digital and up to 5.1 channels of uncompressed audio. I just bought the same size. Hope this helps.
Great video Channa and welcome back buddy. If I were to replace my C1, which I aint for a few years, I would grab the C2 in a heartbeat. A C2 or G2 anyway lol. I heard you said you also grabbed a Samsung 95B which is cool and I cant wait to hear your thoughts on that but for me it's a hard pass and I wont say why because I have been over that already way to many times on other TH-cam pages and I honestly have had enough of that discussion lol. But again great video Channa and again welcome back.
Thanks Steve!! I am stoked to be reviewing TVs again. There isn’t that big of an upgrade except for the Evo panel from C1 to C2 unless you have the 83” C1. I have a feeling the Samsung might be a good gaming TV. I’ll see very soon.

New subscriber, lov the channel. Do we know if this tv coner with the wbc or wbe panel in it? Thanks😊
อย่างกะคนประเทศ บรูไน ไม่ทราบ บรูเรย์ ดิส LG ดีมั้ยครับ?
1800$? Today I bought my 48' c2 for 740 eur, 920E with tax. C1 was 600E before tax but it sold out before I got to store...
Very good review.
Thank you, Andy!
I just got this TV, and I'm so disappointed. I've gone trough the entire setup and after turning the TV on it got stuck on "Press the OK button (wheel) on the remote" screen - pressing OK turns it off, actually pressing anything on the remote turns it off, and there is no way for me to move on from that screen. If anyone had a similar experience or possibly knows how to fix this, would appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks
Dont forget to turn off sharpness
What is earc?
It stands for Enhanced Audio Return Channel.
Does it matter which HDMI port to use for 4k dobly Atmos?
I believe the eARC port is the best one for dolby atmos
I cannot for the life of me get the TV picture to look even close to it streaming. Bought the pearl doesn't work just audio no picture I'm so frustrating.
I feel if you are already invested in the LG Oled TV brand that is already proven, I see no need to spend more money on a new "TV Tech" that hasn't actually proved itself yet in the long term. Save your money you already own an excellent TV!
Yeah, I would agree. Also, the brand new tech will be more refined in 3 - 5 years, which would be a better time to buy in my opinion.
Cec is a good tip.
Thanks, Craig!
Salu~tmr.Wow-outstanding -
And do you think Liverpool can even score Madrid 4 lol 😂😂
Do you know where I can sell my tvs easiest I have a Sony x930e I'd like to sell
Hi! I always try to sell them in town so shipping isn't an issue. You can also try selling or giving your TV to a relative.
I was told to not lay this TV on it's side. 😊
Can you speak with out constantly saying "LIKE"
I can surely try!
Channa did you get my email excellent vid as always
I don't think so. Last one I have from you is dated 9.6.21 - send again please - TechnoDad55 at gmail dot com
Where can I find your email address

This was an EXCELLENT, educational video. Exactly what I was looking for. Nicely done sir. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
What a great year to buy a TV!!!! I’ll admit tho, I’m slowly loosing faith for the heat sink. It might not be necessary
Why? Because they dont use one in the 95B? I would rather have a heat sink in todays brighter OLED tv's then not have one.
@@SteveSmith-cm1hx You might be right but after seeing a 42 inch C2 and S95B hit 1000 nits, that seems plenty bright for me.
@@Kapono5150 42 inch C2 hit 1,000 nits 😂. not even a 55invh can do that
@@Kapono5150 A 42inch C2 hitting a 1000 nits? Where did you see that when a 55inch cant do that?. My C1 dont hit a 1000 nits and I could give a damn cause its bright enough for me. I remember one time it was all about deep blacks and contrast ratio. Now its all about what nit count a tv has and brightness forsaking accuracy. My how technology has changed.
@@christianmarmol3230 Here’s the video to prove it. This man’s 42 inch C2 hit 1000 nits. 🤣

Shout out Techno Dad you helped me with the setup of my first oled LGC2 went with that over the new Sony and Samsung for the gaming features this TV is freaking awesome!! I have a Dennon AVR and appreciated the showing of ARC settings 👍
You’re very welcome, David! I’m glad my video and it helped out so much.
That blue shirt with the pink flamingos is straight 🔥🔥🔥. Channa you certainly care about the details. That blue light in the back and the pink heart light sign accenting your shirt choice. The review hit all the highlights but didn't feel forced. It felt like an artist knowing where every stroke of the brush is going on the canvas. 🔥👊🔥❤🔥
Wow! Thank you, Tristan, for all your support.
Because I’ve never owned an AVR, I’d like to understand why you would connect an XBox or nVIDIA Shield, etc. to the TV rather than to the AVR, which has many more HDMI inputs. Thanks.
Chana D hi,
Did you end up keeping the Focal speakers? I know you liked them but was curious if you ended up pulling the trigger for your personal rig? Also why do you think Gene hates Auro? I don't get it he's usually spot on but he seems to have a unfair negative bias towards Auro which is probably hurting the brand unfairly in North America when we need to be pushing Auro to encourage the companies and the public to engage in the superior format which will by extension force the manufacturers of the software and hardware to go where the excitement and market share is but if you're throwing Auro 3D under the bus people and companies won't even give it a chance in an olready crowded arena. Just saying I know he usually listens to you maybe you can help his weird bias out?
Hi! Yes Cybertron, I kept the Focal setup. All 10 speakers are Focal. I can't speculate about Gene but I think you said it best with "weird bias..."
I had to turn off CEC because the tv kept randomly turning on my Xbox and Playstation when I didn't want to use them. It was great when I wanted to play games because I could turn the entire system on by pressing the button on my controller. But when I didn't want to play games I was constantly having to shut off the game consoles... which would then turn themselves back on again.
Thank you so much for this video! It is the only thing I found that showed the exact set up for the stand that came with my LG C2. The printed directions (which are only pictures) are terribly inadequate. I almost returned my TV just because of that. So frustrating!
Can you do best picture settings for 4k movies
you can brag a bit about your tv but mine lg sm 9000 pla also has 120hz on all 4 hdmi 2.1.
also mine has dolby atmos, dolby vision , hlg, hdr 10
Yes sir 2019 LG's are the best the only thing it doesn't do is Dolby vision 120 gaming but it does dolby vision 60 gaming and that's good enough
@@macgyvermac2344 i know👍
Is there a video that only shows how to hook up a Directv DVR , a DVD player and a Bose speaker system (yellow,red cables attached to small Bose volume control receiver on a LG C2 65 inch. NO playstation or other things and a few settings that would give me good Movie and TV show experience.
So I have a question I am planning on getting a Samsung 5.1 Dolby Atmos dtx sound system and I am wanting get the 65 inch tv and I've noticed that it doesn't have earc or arc is it only certain ones that has that
Thank you for making this video. I just picked up the 55" C2 at best buy for $999. Coming from a Samsung 7000 series 50" this thing is AMAZING. Only issue I'm having so far is when I am using the TV with my PC. the image will cut out, go to a black screen for a second and then come back. I do have a HDMI cable the says it is rated for 8k but will be purchasing a different one to see if that helps. The GPU that is in the PC is a Aorus RTX 3070ti. I did not have any issues with the samsung TV once I got this current HDMI cable. I was having similar issues with the generic cable I was using. So I am not sure what might be causing this.
We just received our new LG 65" OLED C2 and I've already went through the setup process and everything seems good except I have a question. We have an older Vizio soundbar hooked up but it doesn't have any HDMI ports, it has some phono style plugs and an optical input. We have an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar. It sounds pretty good for an older one, we also have a Yamaha subwoofer connected to it. I guess my question is this, is there any benefit to connecting our Amazon Firestick to the eARC /ARC HDMI port or any other particular HDMI port? Currently it's connected to the HDMI number 1 port.. Some of these newer features are a little confusing to me.
Also, I have (isf) Expert (Bright space, daytime) selected for the picture mode. So far I think the picture looks awesome but I'm not sure what I would gain by switching the mode to Cinema or Filmmaker. This TV is in our living room which normally doesn't have very much ambient lighting, there's one picture window right behind the TV but we usually keep the light filtering drapes closed so it's usually medium lit in here.
I don’t think there would be a difference in which HDMI port you are using for the Firestick.
@@TechnoDad Thank you! 👍
SOLID video. Super helpful. You gained a subscriber! 😊
Hi There! Thank you so much, welcome!
Very very good review. Now I am convinced to get the LG C2.
Nice! It's a great TV!
Question, if I have all my sources plugged into my Denon 3800. Do I have to change the picture settings when I watch a SD , HD and 4K source or no? Should I plug my Apple TV or Xboxseries X of 4K BD player straight into the C2? What’s better?
Hi! You should just be using the one input on the TV if everything else is going through the AVR. The picture settings should change automatically depending on HDR types, not really for resolution.
I’m a firm believer that these big tv companies are producing inferior products and selling them like they are better because they are newer. I’ve seen older LG and Samsung TVs that are noticeably better than the newer models. Which means they ARE capable of manufacturing very good televisions but don’t.
Yup! They need to sell you something by next year…
Just keep dreaming
Hi. New to you but what great advice and knowledge you’ve shared.Thank you. Fixed a few issues with my 55C2 I recently purchased. I have one question if I’m able to ask? Why is it that when I select an app ,for example Disney Plus it will not play through my Bose surround sound? That goes to all the Apps. I have tried everything but just cannot get them to work. Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Very useful guide. I just picked up the LGC2 for about $840. Apparently the picture settings are intentionally garbage out of the box, so it's worth watching another video for this.
I've had my LGC2 and Samsung Q910B soundbar for more than a week. Love the sound/picture, but had no idea until your video that eArc wasn't enabled. I also found a lot of other useful tips. Thanks!
I have an lg c1 matched with an lg sp11ra soundbar and i have problems with dolby atmos or so i think. When i am watching dolby Atmos content on Netflix the soundbar identifies the audio format but the rear speakers or loud as a whisper and it's not speakers related problem because they can get loud when i hear to music. Should i toggle on the sound share mode on tv should i leave it off? Any ideas?
Hi, do you have any info as to why my ps4 has to be powered on in order for me to watch my cable box, I have a denon which before I got the evo c2 the denon allowed me to choose cable without the ps4 being powered on, I was previously able to control my ps3, ps4, n ps5, or is there a way to stop my ps4 from being powered on when I only want to watch cable, it automatically turns on
I just upgraded my tv to the C2 and going from optical to eArc and this really helped. I found it so confusing
Sure wish LG made the eArc so it would also pass through DTS:X and DTS-HD as well
C2 best tv
I notice watching sports on cable it looks great when still close up shot , but pixilates a lot it seems during the wide game shot on basketball and hockey, reguardless of true motion on or off. Cpuld this be my connection from outside ?
It could be...is that 1080i from a cable box or DirecTV or something?
@@TechnoDad deff something todo with the cable tv. As it looks much better when I use the amazon fire stick it seems. Might have to switch to fios, or supposedly cable coming out with fiber optic service as well. Very annoying however
B2
Thanks for the helpful setup video. I just bought the 77" and had a question about using a digital optic cable for the soundbar system. I have standard sound bar with sub and two wireless speakers on a rear table. What is better to use for the setup, the HDMI in the ARC and do all the settings, or is the digital optic cable fine?
Do I still need to mess with settings for this?
Thanks
HDMI ARC is a better option. It supports Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, and up to 7.1 channels of uncompressed audio while Digital Optical only supports Dolby Digital and up to 5.1 channels of uncompressed audio. I just bought the same size. Hope this helps.
Great video Channa and welcome back buddy. If I were to replace my C1, which I aint for a few years, I would grab the C2 in a heartbeat. A C2 or G2 anyway lol. I heard you said you also grabbed a Samsung 95B which is cool and I cant wait to hear your thoughts on that but for me it's a hard pass and I wont say why because I have been over that already way to many times on other TH-cam pages and I honestly have had enough of that discussion lol. But again great video Channa and again welcome back.
Thanks Steve!! I am stoked to be reviewing TVs again. There isn’t that big of an upgrade except for the Evo panel from C1 to C2 unless you have the 83” C1. I have a feeling the Samsung might be a good gaming TV. I’ll see very soon.
Nice Retro Rifle shirt !
Thanks! I love this brand!
Would it be a good deal if someone was able to buy an LG C2 55” for under $1,100.00 after tax?
Yes, that’s a great deal!
Absolutely great Thanks a lot
You are welcome!
Thx for the vid TD helpful
You’re very welcome!
