If you have never had a flagship OLED tv like this, trust me you are not going to regret it! When they talk about the peak brightness compared to the Sony, I tell you, you will not miss it. This TV is fantastic!! I hesitated to buy it when it was on sale this black friday because I thought I would have buyers remorse and think it was too dim or not colorful enough, but I'm glad I DID buy it because everything looks amazing on it! I am dazzled at it's power, beauty, and performance and I never think "I wish it was better!" Maybe if you have experienced the Sonys, you would notice a differences. But if you haven't, you will be perfectly happy with it. 100%, especially if you have never had flagship OLED like this. I feel sometimes these reviews, although helpful, get too caught up on comparing instead of putting themselves in the buyers shoes and think weather they would be satisfied with the TV on its own. The answer is yes for this TV. Hope that helps someone who is on the fence. 🙂

The only problem with this "review" is that he never actually summarizes what the best general settings are for the average person to improve the out-of-the-box settings. It just runs through something like a hundred settings and gives you ideas on what you can change, but no final set of recommendations for this TV based on all their knowledge of it. Just a simple settings adjustment list with values would have been much more useful for 99% of people watching this video.

@@jamesmccombe6269 Clearly that is not the case. Many TV manufacturers boost the saturation, contrast, backlight and brightness on purpose to make their TV's "stand out", yet throw accuracy way off.

And the worst part is that 90% of TV buyers don't even bother to adjust their default settings and turn off that stupid motion smoothing. So every movie they watch looks like absolute crap, and they just learn to live with it, or don't even notice. Even my own mother didn't, and I had to literally explain why it looks so bad to her. It was only when I toggled it on and off during a movie did she finally have that "aha!" moment and understand what I was talking about. There is probably not a modern TV on the planet that doesn't require some basic adjusting away from the defaults. Worse, each input requires fine-tuning, since broadcast TV has very different display characteristics vs. movies, vs Bluray, vs game consoles, etc.
Not that difficult with some research. What's difficult for most people is if they try calibrating, if you do it yourself it usually makes picture worse.

Great review, thanks very much! Will you be doing a PS5/Xbox recommended image settings Video like you did last year? I think a lot of people would find it useful!
Would love to see a retro-spective review of the LG E9 OLED and seeing how it stacks up now in 2021. I have one and after seeing the 2020 and 2021 OLED's from LG, SONY, Vizio and even Panasonic I'm glad I purchased it over everything else
Got the C1 last week and I love it! I originally intended to get the G1, but I didn't have the patience to wait for the U.S. release. (It hasn't been released in the U.S. as of the time of this post) I'm glad I got the C1. I'm satisfied with the brightness level and everything else
For Dark Room is perfect I was about to Buy the G1 but after testing the tv in a friend house.. is useless for me . My Room is Dark. And when we test the tv.. I put the brightness leas than half and eye saver min.. otherwhise will melt my eyes xD.. so in My case G1 is not the proper option.
I went with this over the G1. The G1 looks amazing, but I can’t justify the cost for something only slightly better. I imagine in a few years, there will be substantial changes in technology but the EVO panel did not provide the peak levels of brightness that make it worth it, I’m excited to see a generation or two down the line though! Thanks for your reviews they’re extremely helpful
I say It's not worth it for extra few brightness nit they all looks nearly identical . Get C1 instead if you already have CX. I don't recommend to upgrade. Also G1 doesn't come with stand which cost extra 100$ separately . With 20% brighter evo panel on g1 you get 25-30 extra brightness net.
@@djn0nam374 not saying it doesn’t make a difference, I’m saying it’s not worth the extra money in my opinion. Once again, this is my personal opinion and can understand if people want the newer panel
@@naughtygirl6505 its pretty pathetic how little the upgrades are if any the g1 is the same brightness as the c9. same color volume too they haven't really upgraded in the last few yrs c8,c9,cx,c1,g1 all pretty much the same tv.
Any idea on how to shut the TrueMotion, etc off on every input, every framerate, everywhere on the C1? Each time I plug something new in to my C1 I have to turn all of that crap back off, despite me always choosing "Apply to all inputs". Unfortunately it only applies it for whatever that signal type is. It's EXTREMELY frustrating.
@@Jason_YT Well I pipe everything in through HDMI 1 and select with an AVR. HDMI 1 is indeed set up for game mode, but if it detects something of a different refresh rate, Game Mode goes away and I have to set it up again. Same if Dolby Vision pops up vs regular HDR. Each possible combination needs it's own setting. So each time I turn something on the TV hasn't seen before, it basically makes me start (mostly) from scratch. The only thing I don't have to adjust is the "Just Scan" option which gets rid of the overscan... not sure why it has overscan at all, much less on by default.
Can you simply switch to another input that's already on your preferred settings, then click "apply to all inputs" again? Or does plugging in a new device reset all inputs? I'm planning on picking up a C1 on Black Friday this year, and this will be frustrating to say the least (though not a problem exclusive to this set).
@@socratese5 That's a test screen ... a white rectangle covering 10% of the screen in the center of a fully black background. Vincent measured the luminance of the white rectangle.
Thank you very much for the comprehensive review. I just purchased a C1, and i am very happy with it. You really helped me in my decision making process on what television to buy.
@@Enzel02 in spanish he would be tio Chente just like previous commenter said. In spanish almost every name has a nickname to which friends and family would refer to rather than their actual name. It's a cultural thing 😁
@@Enzel02 ok I should have been more specific it's a Latin thing. You being Spanish are considered Hispanic so you're right it wouldn't apply to your culture. At least according to you. You can ask anyone from any Latin American country but I know in Mexico and Guatemala that is the norm. As I am of Mexican and Guatemalan descent and I just asked to double check. Also I have a Colombian friend and he says that is normal as well. I know some Argentine folk and I've heard them calling people by the same nicknames so it has to be the norm.
@William Downie Can’t the motion be fixed with future software updates though? That type of stuff seems like it could be easily remedied by manufacturers.
I've been watching your videos since last April when deciding to buy the LG C9. But I waited and you have convinced me to buy this C1 and it arrived today, thanks Vincent.
nice I read your post wrong at first I thought you meant that you bought a c9 and that you were upgrading to the c1 I was about to say what?? its basically the same tv no real upgrades at all. same color volume same hdr brightness same everything.
My main takeaway from this video is that neither the G1 nor the A90J are worth the premium this year. Maybe Panasonic but that’s not available in America. CX or C1 are still very solid, and for 2021 the processing keeps improving for actual movie watching. We will have to wait for 2022 to see “OLED EVO” actually pushed to its limits and see what Samsung does if they actually bought panels from LGD.
Thx you! Will you make a best setting video? I don’t understand everything with the menu and would love to know what settings are best to enable, or not, for gaming and movies. You talked about calibration of some settings , would love to see exactly how etc. Thx again!
I bought the 55 inch CX in the US last week. The 55 C1 was available from the same retailer for an additional $450 and, after watching this review, I don't think it is worth nearly that premium for me. I'm only a casual console gamer (I do much more PC gaming) and the biggest C1 improvements noted here were with new motion control settings and, as a purist, I turn them all off anyway. (Motion looks fine to me on CX with all processing off.) HDR brightness on the C1 was actually a bit lower than Rtings measured on the CX (both TVs in Cinema mode), but, as Vincent notes, they are functionally pretty much equal in real world viewing.
@@cciureanu Paying for TH-cam Premium also respects the content creators by paying them directly and not having to endure ads. It's up to the viewer to decide if $10/month is worth the time and user experience changes.
Just ordered a C1, the 55"model for €1495 (with €100 cashback from LG and a free 5 year warranty worth €324, which includes pixel guarantee and screen burn in). I'd been dithering between the G1 Evo and the C1. As I'm not a gamer and after watching Vincents video above, I don't see the need to pay out extra cash for the not so great jump in brightness on the G1. I also have doubts about how durable the new 'ramp up the brightness' evo panels will be. The next few years will tell if screen burn turns out to be a big issue or not. This is going to be a replacement for my E6V, which had developed terrible screen burn, yellow colours were showing as green. Luckily, I had an extended warranty and LG admitted that there was a problem with the panel and I got 60% of the original price I paid for my E6V which was 4.5 years old. With all that it means it hasn’t cost me a penny and the €100 cashback can be put in to my savings account. It should arrive on May 5th. I'll miss my 3D though, which the LG E6V did beautifully.
Another great video Vincent! As a gamer, I have been waiting for this since I have been on the fence on whether i should purchase the 48" C1 or the 55" G1.
I think you should review the out of box performance of these TVs as well. I doubt the majority of your subscribers me included get their TVs calibrated - maybe you should run a poll? But if you're travelling to East London to calibrate TVs, let me know 😬
@@hdtvtest Thanks for the consideration. Also for the TVs you've tested and calibrated, do have an Ebay shop or similar where you sell these displays once you've finished with them?
Hardly anybody gets their TV calibrated. They need to show how much better calibration is even if it makes all the TV's look the same. It's their business. A lot of people don't like the calibrated look, as it is dimmer and less saturated. It's also set to a 30 year old standard for so many things.
It doesn't make sense to measure prior to calibration ... if measuring 3 identical tvs you will get 3 different measurements/values... You may ask for which will be the correct or typical value out of these 3 then ... answer: none ... because each and every tv is "suffering" from production tolerances.
I own the CX with a PS5 AND Series X. Get that shit for gaming and you will be so happy and have saved so much in money. If you are not an OLED fan go for a QLED which is also an amazing tv, but the lack of 100 extra nits is unimportant (IMO) when using the tv with games and hdr compatible apps. All in all OLEDs are truly tremendous and if watching in a room not bathed in constant sunlight and lamps you will be blown away. Have fun everyone just pick the tv you feel is the best for you👍
I wish you would point out the crappy ethernet port (100Mbps) and USB 2.0 ports that LG still uses. They need to know that 1Gbps ethernet port and USB 3.0 should be standard in 2021, especially if they are advertising the TV as for gamers. Many people (like me) prefer to use wired ethernet and local streaming, so wifi is really out of the question because of stutters caused by signal interference.
Spot on. Needed to buy a USB-to-LAN adapter so I can get more than 100Mbps, had some issues with certain 4K remuxes (King of New York for example) where the avg bitrate was around 94 Mbps and had spikes of more than 120 Mbps I believe so it introduced buffering as I was playing it back from my Plex server.
From 10:41 onwards Vincent demonstrates how PC Mode on the C1 adds a layer of input lag to the mix, which was really surprising to me, as on the CX/C9 PC Mode supposedly minimizes input lag as low as possible (with or without Game Mode Picture Preset enabled) . So I guess my question now is, if I want the lowest possible input lag on this TV, do I set the HDMI icon to console while using the Game Optimizer Picture Preset + Input lag boost or does changing the HDMI icon from standard to console have no effect whatsoever? Also, did anyone else measure the additional input lag from PC Mode on the C1 (perhaps even while using the Game Optimizer Preset) ?
I bought a 65” Samsung QN85a in January for a little over $900 with a combined open box discount and my employee discount. Needless to Sav I’m tired of all the issues and am going to pick up a brand new 65” C1 in the morning. I can’t wait!
It amazes me that people prefer to have all of the motion smoothing (de-blur and de-judder) switched off. I have it on all the time. Turning it off, the content on screen might as well be a slideshow it’s so jerky. Easily the best feature of modern TV’s in my opinion. Content looks 100x better with it cranked up to max.
I’ve had to exchange 7 C1’s so far due to pink tint on the left side of the panel that is visible in lights scenes in gaming etc. This is exhausting. I wish I kept my C9
Among the video enthusiast community, the LG G1 and Sony A90J with brighter OLED panel have been getting all the attention, so much so that the C1 is largely ignored. Hence "sleeper".
i just bought this TV and i cant believe it doesn't have auto shutdown/sleep after 2hours of inactivity. You have to remember to toggle sleep time every time you switch on.. what are you doing LG
10:34 is this "lower-nits with Game Mode HDR" a bug that will be fixed in the future? Similiar to was shown to be solved with a beta firmware on the G1 review (did not see it being mentioned in this review, but I could have missed it)? Also, I assume PC Mode doesn't add input lag when it's used in conjunction with Game Mode, just like previous TVs (where it does not)? Thank you for you hard work!
I’ve got the CX and I can honestly say the improvements on the C1 are not staggering. I’d save the cash and get a CX. In a few years time the changes should be worth that extra money. Spending hundreds for some extra milliseconds of decreased lag is basically all you would be doing.
Great review. The problem is, all this super detailed and very technical data is presented, and statements are made about settings that were tested, but in the end, there is no summation of what *most* people should set their settings to right out of the box. I did see on of your other clips where you gave about a dozen or so quick tips for the LG C1 towards that end, which was extremely helpful. But for the average person, who will not be buying thousands of dollars worth of calibration equipment or spending a large amount on a professional in-home calibration service, they really just need to be give a list of 30 or 40 settings that, taken together, provide helpful improvements to the out-of-box visual performance. Just showing people a hundred settings and telling them "you can do this, or you can do that" is not ideal, because they won't really know the best "general" settings, since many settings influence other settings.
Lots of comparisons between the C1 and Sony A80J. I'm not sure why people keep talking about the LG being better for games but not for sports and movie streaming. I see no issues with the motion processing but people say Sony XR processing is better.
Thanks for this great in-depth review! Any idea about 48C1's price? LE: unfortunately I found it listed at $1500. It's sad to see it still highly overpriced to be appealing to PC gamers. I think it would be tempting at $1000 or below but not more. Also, I'd love to see an actual OLED monitor from LG in the future, preferably smaller 31" or 32" with 1440p@240hz, that would be like heaven for PC gaming.
So it's basically a copy and paste of the CX with a new OS as I thought. What concerns me though is that new OS home screen taking up the entire screen! What gives?
@@Yalookin A90J is actually dimmer in-game, cinema mode. A90J is brighter in Vivid mode but who uses vivid mode? G1 is actually brighter than A90J in real-world usage.
Yeah. Better get C1 instead. Oled doesn't get cheaper after certain prices. But you might save couple hundred bucks for cx.. But is worth it? I'll say get nerwer c1 55 inch. Cheers
@@manea7074 Then you won't hear any audio from DTS tracks (I tried this myself on an C8 [DTS] and a CX [no DTS]). You will need a external media player (and AVR/Soundbar)
are you aware that C1 TVs produced in Poland from August 2021 are not working with SkyQ 4K HDR in UK and Itay due to (seems) a mother board component that does not comply with HDCP? Sky and LG are currently investigating but it seems solved only by changing the mother board on the TV
Not only SkyQ… all my devices (Fire TV 4K, Yamaha RX-6VA receiver…) complain that my brand new C1 does not support hdcp2.2. I think PS5 users are complaining about the same.
Did you even watch the video before asking this? He literally said in this video the only really and significant difference between the C and the G (the G has the evo panel, the evo is not a different TV again you'd know this if you actually watched the video)
@@Spy0nu the evo panel as of now is exclusive to the G1 . Vincent mentioned that later in the year , it is possible that the c1 will get the evo panel , as factories start using the evo panel more and more - it’s not a 100% guarantee , but a likely scenario. I think you’re mixing up what he said about ‘new and old’ panel in the c1 - with the factories in which the panel was made . In his experience he finds certain products from one certain factory to be better than the other . There should be a video called ‘LG line up explained’ in his older videos , he released a few months back . I’ll see if I can find it and link it here
Great video, Vincent! i really appreciate your extremely detailed reviews a lot. I am going to use the LG C1 with my PC. You said in your input lag test, that enabling PC Mode will increase input lag. Did you play on console or PC then? My question is, does enabling PC Mode on an actual PC also increase input lag?
More than 40gbps is entirely useless as long as your tv is only 10bit ! If your first 12bit tv will only have 40gbps ... then it will be time for being concerned.
Since costco most likely will only carry the c1 and not the g1. It looks like i will get the c1 with a 7 year warranty for free or extra $100. Not buying thw g1 qt best buy when they are charging like and extra 800 for 5 year warranty
10:30, so for Console gaming in HDR (like a ps5), we should use cinema mode instead Game Optimizer? then why LG add that mode? :S .. I mean there is no sense in use a mode that have lower hdr brightness.. maybe you should contact LG and let them know that issue
@@wasimkazi580 ya sony is sony, meaning no updates, no vrr, crap motion, and no full Dolby Vision games support. No point of comparing with a inferior featured TV from Sony.
@@scopeofjustice Threatened? Why would I feel threatened? do you feel threatened reading some internet comment? do you intent to threaten someone when you leave a comment?
The c1 is a great TV and is still plenty bright imo for an oled I like it and am enjoying it but I will still be checking out the a80j and the a90j more before I make my mind up also the g1 of course I'm trying to make the right choice this year I'm not looking to upgrade my panel next yesr or the yesr after this time I want it to be at least a 3 or 4 year tv so I'm trying to make the smartest choice for me and tbh I don't need the extra brightness I really like a deeper image so for me the c1 and the a80j will be plenty bright enough

After watching your vids for months I’ve finally grabbed a 77” C1 at $2599 usd. Love it!!!!! Thank you for making these videos.
I'm happy with my LG CX 👌🏽
Yeah because the C1 is basically a clone of the CX while the CX was a clone of the C9. The only difference is some settings, OS and features.
Not me, i think my b57 looked better
Very happy with my new C1 48", impressive Tv set. Thanks for the review.

His videos always get me to crack up at some point.
My guy knows his stroke game well 😂
Vincent confirmed my worst fears, quality control diminishing at the new Guangzhou plant.
I went with this over the G1.
The G1 looks amazing, but I can’t justify the cost for something only slightly better. I imagine in a few years, there will be substantial changes in technology but the EVO panel did not provide the peak levels of brightness that make it worth it, I’m excited to see a generation or two down the line though! Thanks for your reviews they’re extremely helpful
I say It's not worth it for extra few brightness nit they all looks nearly identical . Get C1 instead if you already have CX. I don't recommend to upgrade.
Also G1 doesn't come with stand which cost extra 100$ separately . With 20% brighter evo panel on g1 you get 25-30 extra brightness net.
Brightness nits are fully relevant if you’re calibrating
@@djn0nam374 not saying it doesn’t make a difference, I’m saying it’s not worth the extra money in my opinion. Once again, this is my personal opinion and can understand if people want the newer panel
@@naughtygirl6505 its pretty pathetic how little the upgrades are if any the g1 is the same brightness as the c9. same color volume too they haven't really upgraded in the last few yrs c8,c9,cx,c1,g1 all pretty much the same tv.
Watching on my 48" C1. Upgraded from a 22" LCD. Its amazing to me😅😁
That's what I want to buy, 😃
Same here. It's great. Just annoys me out returns to game preset audio each time
I recently ordered that myself can’t wait
I had 48inch on pre order but changed to 55 inch hope it's a great TV
@@ianholden7 Yeah it's great. I have a small room and I need it for PC use as well so had to go 48".
Any idea on how to shut the TrueMotion, etc off on every input, every framerate, everywhere on the C1? Each time I plug something new in to my C1 I have to turn all of that crap back off, despite me always choosing "Apply to all inputs". Unfortunately it only applies it for whatever that signal type is. It's EXTREMELY frustrating.
@@Jason_YT Well I pipe everything in through HDMI 1 and select with an AVR. HDMI 1 is indeed set up for game mode, but if it detects something of a different refresh rate, Game Mode goes away and I have to set it up again. Same if Dolby Vision pops up vs regular HDR. Each possible combination needs it's own setting. So each time I turn something on the TV hasn't seen before, it basically makes me start (mostly) from scratch. The only thing I don't have to adjust is the "Just Scan" option which gets rid of the overscan... not sure why it has overscan at all, much less on by default.
Can you simply switch to another input that's already on your preferred settings, then click "apply to all inputs" again? Or does plugging in a new device reset all inputs?
I'm planning on picking up a C1 on Black Friday this year, and this will be frustrating to say the least (though not a problem exclusive to this set).
I’m sure like me, 90% of your viewers don’t really understand half of what you say in these reviews but you’re that good I keep coming back.

i'm actually waiting for one with 10.000 nits and no burn in risk
I've been watching your videos since last April when deciding to buy the LG C9. But I waited and you have convinced me to buy this C1 and it arrived today, thanks Vincent.
nice I read your post wrong at first I thought you meant that you bought a c9 and that you were upgrading to the c1 I was about to say what?? its basically the same tv no real upgrades at all. same color volume same hdr brightness same everything.
My main takeaway from this video is that neither the G1 nor the A90J are worth the premium this year. Maybe Panasonic but that’s not available in America. CX or C1 are still very solid, and for 2021 the processing keeps improving for actual movie watching. We will have to wait for 2022 to see “OLED EVO” actually pushed to its limits and see what Samsung does if they actually bought panels from LGD.
A90J is ridiculous expensive!!
Thx you! Will you make a best setting video? I don’t understand everything with the menu and would love to know what settings are best to enable, or not, for gaming and movies. You talked about calibration of some settings , would love to see exactly how etc. Thx again!
I bought the 55 inch CX in the US last week. The 55 C1 was available from the same retailer for an additional $450 and, after watching this review, I don't think it is worth nearly that premium for me. I'm only a casual console gamer (I do much more PC gaming) and the biggest C1 improvements noted here were with new motion control settings and, as a purist, I turn them all off anyway. (Motion looks fine to me on CX with all processing off.) HDR brightness on the C1 was actually a bit lower than Rtings measured on the CX (both TVs in Cinema mode), but, as Vincent notes, they are functionally pretty much equal in real world viewing.
You don’t get judder or stutter when watching 24fps content or 30fps games? I wish I was that lucky. My cx has a ton of it
Thanks Vincent for your hard work, I appreciate it and you are my go to guy for home TV selection. It made my choice for the LG C1 2021 so easy.

@@cciureanu Paying for TH-cam Premium also respects the content creators by paying them directly and not having to endure ads. It's up to the viewer to decide if $10/month is worth the time and user experience changes.
Just ordered a C1, the 55"model for €1495 (with €100 cashback from LG and a free 5 year warranty worth €324, which includes pixel guarantee and screen burn in).
I'd been dithering between the G1 Evo and the C1. As I'm not a gamer and after watching Vincents video above, I don't see the need to pay out extra cash for the not so great jump in brightness on the G1. I also have doubts about how durable the new 'ramp up the brightness' evo panels will be. The next few years will tell if screen burn turns out to be a big issue or not.
This is going to be a replacement for my E6V, which had developed terrible screen burn, yellow colours were showing as green. Luckily, I had an extended warranty and LG admitted that there was a problem with the panel and I got 60% of the original price I paid for my E6V which was 4.5 years old. With all that it means it hasn’t cost me a penny and the €100 cashback can be put in to my savings account. It should arrive on May 5th. I'll miss my 3D though, which the LG E6V did beautifully.
What store is that deal at
Another great video Vincent! As a gamer, I have been waiting for this since I have been on the fence on whether i should purchase the 48" C1 or the 55" G1.
There’s no massive difference between the CX and C1, save cash and get a CX.
@@guitarsy the 48inches are the same price for CX and C1
just received mine today! it's looking great so far. still have to test gaming and movies to fully appreciate it though 🙂
I think you should review the out of box performance of these TVs as well. I doubt the majority of your subscribers me included get their TVs calibrated - maybe you should run a poll?
But if you're travelling to East London to calibrate TVs, let me know 😬
Spot on!
Thanks for the suggestion... we'll consider doing it on retail units we buy ourselves.
@@hdtvtest Thanks for the consideration. Also for the TVs you've tested and calibrated, do have an Ebay shop or similar where you sell these displays once you've finished with them?
Hardly anybody gets their TV calibrated. They need to show how much better calibration is even if it makes all the TV's look the same. It's their business. A lot of people don't like the calibrated look, as it is dimmer and less saturated. It's also set to a 30 year old standard for so many things.
It doesn't make sense to measure prior to calibration ... if measuring 3 identical tvs you will get 3 different measurements/values...
You may ask for which will be the correct or typical value out of these 3 then ... answer: none ... because each and every tv is "suffering" from production tolerances.
I own the CX with a PS5 AND Series X. Get that shit for gaming and you will be so happy and have saved so much in money. If you are not an OLED fan go for a QLED which is also an amazing tv, but the lack of 100 extra nits is unimportant (IMO) when using the tv with games and hdr compatible apps. All in all OLEDs are truly tremendous and if watching in a room not bathed in constant sunlight and lamps you will be blown away. Have fun everyone just pick the tv you feel is the best for you👍
I wish you would point out the crappy ethernet port (100Mbps) and USB 2.0 ports that LG still uses. They need to know that 1Gbps ethernet port and USB 3.0 should be standard in 2021, especially if they are advertising the TV as for gamers. Many people (like me) prefer to use wired ethernet and local streaming, so wifi is really out of the question because of stutters caused by signal interference.
Spot on. Needed to buy a USB-to-LAN adapter so I can get more than 100Mbps, had some issues with certain 4K remuxes (King of New York for example) where the avg bitrate was around 94 Mbps and had spikes of more than 120 Mbps I believe so it introduced buffering as I was playing it back from my Plex server.
This guy is really funny for anyone who's actually paying attention.
From 10:41 onwards Vincent demonstrates how PC Mode on the C1 adds a layer of input lag to the mix, which was really surprising to me, as on the CX/C9 PC Mode supposedly minimizes input lag as low as possible (with or without Game Mode Picture Preset enabled) .
So I guess my question now is, if I want the lowest possible input lag on this TV, do I set the HDMI icon to console while using the Game Optimizer Picture Preset + Input lag boost or does changing the HDMI icon from standard to console have no effect whatsoever?
Also, did anyone else measure the additional input lag from PC Mode on the C1 (perhaps even while using the Game Optimizer Preset) ?
This is my dream TV for 2021! I hope to get one this year when prices have settled! Shout out from the Philippines here!
purchased my dream tv already!
I love that you upload in HDR. Makes a huge difference.
I have 55" cx and fully satisfied when watching any content. I'm not a gamer and for movies it was excellent choice.
Nothing like a little butter and "Kentucky" Jelly on a biscuit!
I see no reason to let go of my C9 just yet. But I'm happy for Lg to prove me wrong with the C2 next year.

Great Review!
Thanks for the suggestion. [PC Mode] sorted it out on the LG C1.
It amazes me that people prefer to have all of the motion smoothing (de-blur and de-judder) switched off. I have it on all the time. Turning it off, the content on screen might as well be a slideshow it’s so jerky.
Easily the best feature of modern TV’s in my opinion. Content looks 100x better with it cranked up to max.
Agreed.
I’ve had to exchange 7 C1’s so far due to pink tint on the left side of the panel that is visible in lights scenes in gaming etc. This is exhausting. I wish I kept my C9

A90J da god
Sleeper? It’s the successor to the hottest tv of last year.
Among the video enthusiast community, the LG G1 and Sony A90J with brighter OLED panel have been getting all the attention, so much so that the C1 is largely ignored. Hence "sleeper".
Great review as always! Thanks again for your support.
"I can't believe it's not KY Jelly!"
i just bought this TV and i cant believe it doesn't have auto shutdown/sleep after 2hours of inactivity. You have to remember to toggle sleep time every time you switch on.. what are you doing LG
10:34 is this "lower-nits with Game Mode HDR" a bug that will be fixed in the future? Similiar to was shown to be solved with a beta firmware on the G1 review (did not see it being mentioned in this review, but I could have missed it)?
Also, I assume PC Mode doesn't add input lag when it's used in conjunction with Game Mode, just like previous TVs (where it does not)?
Thank you for you hard work!
As usual great Video comparison happy to have CX 48" but if someone is looking for new TV will highly recommend the new C1 Series from LG too!
Great video Vincent, I wanted to know if the C1 had improvements over the CX to justify the extra $$ and it does, thank you for the info.🙌😃
+1 I want to see Vincent's comparison too. The CX is cheaper by $500 on the 77" model in the US.
I’ve got the CX and I can honestly say the improvements on the C1 are not staggering. I’d save the cash and get a CX. In a few years time the changes should be worth that extra money. Spending hundreds for some extra milliseconds of decreased lag is basically all you would be doing.
@@guitarsy it'd pathetic there is no updates the c9,cx,c1 are the same tvs with no upgrades to picture quality or hdr brightness or color volume.
Great review. The problem is, all this super detailed and very technical data is presented, and statements are made about settings that were tested, but in the end, there is no summation of what *most* people should set their settings to right out of the box. I did see on of your other clips where you gave about a dozen or so quick tips for the LG C1 towards that end, which was extremely helpful. But for the average person, who will not be buying thousands of dollars worth of calibration equipment or spending a large amount on a professional in-home calibration service, they really just need to be give a list of 30 or 40 settings that, taken together, provide helpful improvements to the out-of-box visual performance. Just showing people a hundred settings and telling them "you can do this, or you can do that" is not ideal, because they won't really know the best "general" settings, since many settings influence other settings.
This is going to be the best seller
Lots of comparisons between the C1 and Sony A80J. I'm not sure why people keep talking about the LG being better for games but not for sports and movie streaming. I see no issues with the motion processing but people say Sony XR processing is better.
Thanks for this great in-depth review! Any idea about 48C1's price?
LE: unfortunately I found it listed at $1500. It's sad to see it still highly overpriced to be appealing to PC gamers. I think it would be tempting at $1000 or below but not more. Also, I'd love to see an actual OLED monitor from LG in the future, preferably smaller 31" or 32" with 1440p@240hz, that would be like heaven for PC gaming.

Great video, Vincent! i really appreciate your extremely detailed reviews a lot.
I am going to use the LG C1 with my PC. You said in your input lag test, that enabling PC Mode will increase input lag. Did you play on console or PC then?
My question is, does enabling PC Mode on an actual PC also increase input lag?
There's a rumor that c1 is an evo panel.
Please check the power measurement
It's illogical for a c1 to have evo panel imo, that would cannibalize G1 sales for LG.
That's because it is
I don’t like the long term fact the hdmi port is limited to 40gbps. The c9 was full speed...
More than 40gbps is entirely useless as long as your tv is only 10bit !
If your first 12bit tv will only have 40gbps ... then it will be time for being concerned.
Since costco most likely will only carry the c1 and not the g1. It looks like i will get the c1 with a 7 year warranty for free or extra $100. Not buying thw g1 qt best buy when they are charging like and extra 800 for 5 year warranty

alone the lower energy needed and longer lifetime with the currently max c1 brightness would make me want to see the evo panel in a c1.
