LG C1 OLED Review In 2023: A Future Proof Powerhouse of Performance!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- The LG C1 OLED is almost 2 years old, and yet the LG C1 OLED TV in 2023 is still competing head to head with new TVs. I bought the C1 about one year ago, and my main purpose for buying the LG C1 was for color grading movies and films in DaVinci Resolve; however, I also use the TV for gaming and content consumption when I am not working. 1 year later, I still feel this is one of the best TVs in 2023, especially if you're looking to get into OLED technology. Most of the newer OLED TVs in its price range offer incremental upgrades instead of huge leaps.

Working the C1 the past year has been nothing short of a dream! Be sure to subscribe and stay tuned to learn how to calibrate your LG C1 and set it up for color critical work!
One of the best reviews I've seen on TH-cam about the Legendary C1 and I stumbled across your review. As a proud owner of a C1 I agree with everything you stated and more. Its one of the best OLED tv's ever made by LG in my book and if people can still find one I say buy it and don't look back.
Awesome perspective! I currently own the LG C1, and it's been an amazing experience so far. I'm looking forward to your color calibration video. I want to dive into that so I can calibrate my own set.
I almost never comment…but I’m Not gonna lie this is one of the most informative & easy to watch and reviews out of them all. And believe me bro I’ve watched them all! Subscribed!
Thank you for the wonderful video - you explain things very clearly. Pleasure to watch!
Fantastic review hopefully getting my c1 tomorrow😊
Great review, thanks! Love your style and your cadence, great job!
Thank U
Great review 👍
You checked all my questions and boxes ☑️
I own a 65 inch C1 and it’s simply amazing. With all the new 3 series stuff coming out I’m on the hunt for an 83 inch C1. I just couldn’t imagine paying nearly $5k for a newer model and feeling like I’m getting that much better of an image. I’m not being a fan girl but I just don’t see how the human eye could tell a difference. I haven’t had a single friend or family member come over and not ask what my tv was, it really is that good. Could it be a touch brighter? Sure. Do I have black out curtains and dimmable lights in my media room? Yep! A family member had the Samsung S95B and maybe it’s his settings but my C1 blows it out of the water from an image standpoint. Yeah his gets brighter but that’s not always the be all end all. There just isn’t a competition from what I’ve seen and I just can’t see spending thousands more for a newer 2 or 3 model.
Update: ended up snagging a 77 inch C1 with 1500 hours on it from my local classifieds. It really is just simply the best. They had better come out with something that changes how we view television if they expect to beat this. For all around use it has to be top 2 or 3 tvs ever made up to this point.
Really great video! Perfect match between easy to follow and informative 👌
Awaiting the color grading specific video. Looking forward to it.
Definitely enjoyed the video, make me want one even more
LG C1 continues to be one of the best TV experiences you can have. It's iconic & legendary at this point.
That ending/outro message was beautiful. A sub just for that. The rest of the video was great as well! I didn't know the c1 had hdmi 2.1 and 120hz. Maybe it's only the 43 inch that doesn't? I was looking at the 43inch c2 but shoot. Maybe I should go for the 48 inch c1 instead! I forget if you mentioned what size yours was or not!
hey man, thanks for the video. What type of TV arm you're using in this video? It seems flexible
Thanks ❤
Picked up a like new 48 C1 for $600. If you do your due diligence, can find some Incredible deals.
Also, OLED motion pro on high is something LG never should have got rid of. Clarity in games is so nice to have.
C1 is currently being fazed out so you may be able to pick the c1 up at a very discounted price, I would it's a phenomenal TV
What are the down sides to grading on a TV vs a dedicated grading monitor? Would it make any sense to use it as your only monitor?
I recently bought a 77" C1 and it has a build date of October 2022. Does this mean that up until then they were still making them? Any ideas? (I'm in the UK)
Is the a90j still a good buy in 2023?
I've just had a Samsung Tu7100 series fail & I bought the c1 55inch this month to replace it, I'm pretty sure that was a good replacement
Yoooo your setup is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 do you think the 42in is big enough or should I get the 55in and fight the headaches that will come using as a monitor 😅
Honestly it really depends on how big your desk is. 55 inches is quite big, but I kind of feel like I’ve gotten used to it as a reference display. But it would be uncomfortable if my desk was smaller, and I’m not sure if I would like it a monitor
I only able to find C2 or C3 on the market. Which one would you recommend guys? How is the quality comparing to C1? Should I pay more to get C3 or better to save and get C2? Price difference is around 30% lower for older model.
Is it normal for lg c1 TV to have image retention?
Got my C1 55" last year. The upgrade from Samsung with 50 dimming zones was very nice. Now I have my attention at G3. Can you or anyone else tell me if it will come down in price in the spring?
What is the most budget friendly receiver that will support the c1 to the fullest?
Not paying 4 grand on a receiver i bought the c1 at some place opened boxed and used for a fraction of the price?
Like 1 grand or something. Need the HDMI inputs more, gotta support the HDMI standers or the c1 and Xbox series x.
I just see half hdmi 4k and 8k. They said 8k is hdmi 2.1. Need full bandwith for 4k 120hz hdr 10 and all that.
Hey Sidney, I have a 48" C1 and I use it as a client monitor, and oh my gosh the tinting is so frustrating on black and white images it has blue tinting on the sides, apparently the C3 fixes this? Does yours have the tinting issue too? Otherwise for gaming and everything else it's perfect.
I do not have an issue with black and white images because of the corrected white point
I managed to get a lgc1 55 inch for 500 bucks without the stand which I had to buy separately. Mann This tv is fantastic🔥
Hi. How can i use multipple Sound outputs for example.
I have lg c1 55 inch with soundbar lgs80qr
Can i synchronize the Sound from the both devices to play at the same time 😊?
From the TV and the Soundbar correct? lol
I am lost because I wanted the c9 in 2020, but ended up getting the B9 which is amazing. So did the numbers start over?????? And I wonder how these compare because the LG c9 was next level, and the b9 is still light years ahead of all other TVs. I can't even watch TV and ANYONE else's house but my own
I’m not sure what they’re going to do with the numbers. 🤔 also same, I can’t watch tv except in the studio 😂
I've seen this tv these days with a deal of 700-720 USD aprox in Colombia , is it a good deal in 2023? thx for ur comments, sorry 'bout my english
Depending on the size yeah it does sound like a good deal. Don't apologize, you know two languages. Good for you man !
Damn I can’t decide if I want to spend an extra $500 to get the C2 knowing that the C1 is still considered a solid tv. Any suggestions?
I mean I love my C1. C2 is a good option slightly brighter. But I'm not sure if it's going to make a difference in everyday use.
👏👏👏👏👏
This video makes me appreciate my G3 even more.
I 100% hate my C1 83- The banding is terrible. I had a repair person come out before the warranty expired but they decided to call it the "moire effect" and said it wasn't an issue. I'll never buy LG again.
I scored the 83 incher from BrandsMart in the ATL area for $2700 brand new in box. Steal of the century.
The C1 has 1500 nits on the 55” model
The C1 has a sustained net value of 750 nits. I measured it, and you can Google it.
@@sidneybakergreen when I check my system display settings on my pc is says 1499 nits on 4k UHD, am I missing something? I am new to this stuff lol so I most definitely could me completely wrong!
@@Ghost.living1 I’m not quite sure why your system settings would say that. The only way to be sure is to use a calibrator to display the value for you. Every TV is even going to have some variation in the same line the only panel that I know that can hit above 1000 nuts is the G3.
The “soap Opera” effect has been a terrible addition to modern TV’s. Who the hell likes it?
You can disable this on almost every TV I know of
It's a piece of shit. Speaking from experience. How much did they pay you for this ad? The day after it runs out of warranty it will be riddled with dead pixels.
I'm low key honored that you think companies as big as LG have reached out. Most companies leave my emails on read lol. Nonetheless, I bought this with my own money off of Amazon a year ago.
My post production color studio started offering HDR color services that year. That being said, I am sorry about your experience. I cannot say I have had the same though.
How wrong you are on that one. My C1 has been going strong even after warranty expired. What are you a Samsung fanboy or Sony? Good luck with them if you are that's all I will say.
@Steve Smith I'm wrong that my LG c1 Oled TV that I payed alot of money for is completely fucked? Would you like pictures? When yours does the same thing. Make sure you come by and let me know
You’re wrong to think that your case would represent all. Just as it would be wrong for me to tell you that you didn’t have issues. As I said, I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience, but to accuse someone of being paid to lie because they had a good experience despite your bad experience seems nothing short of jaded and bitter.
@Sidney Baker-Green hell yeah I'm bitter lol that's by far the most I've ever spent on a tv, and it's the only tv I've ever owned that shit itself. Didn't even last afew short years. I do apologise for accusing you of being paid though. Sorry about that. I was out of line.
Bro, thanks for the feature 🙏🏽🙏🏽🥹
Here in the u.k the 65" c1 is £1049. Bargain movie monster. 😘👍
Where? Brand new
