In this video I wanted to go over my thoughts on the LG C1 as a gaming TV in 2021 not only will I be detailing what I like and don't like about it but I will also be talking about how much of an upgrade it is for older OLED users such as the C7. I also wanted to talk a little about the TV review/discussion community as well as update you on some things.

Not every hero wears a cape
@@Dinosaullo indeed.
Omg thank you
Yeah a lot of blah blah blah blah
Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Glad that you work for a positive community and recognise the other positive YT content creators! I’m also a believer of the “wisdom of the crowd”
You absolutely nailed this with me! I have the C7 now, so this really spoke to me. Uncalibrated, I have definitely noticed the black crush and pretty bad game mode. I game in standard mode and even that is...I guess passable. Wondering when to make the jump. Looking for sharper detail, better tone mapping, more shade detail/less black crush and game mode that impresses and actually looks the way it should. Your videos are really helpful. Thank you!
Thanks! Happy to help if you got any questions ever anytime. Yeah the newer OLEDs definitely don’t lose any brightness in game mode which is nice and hdr tone mapping makes games more detailed for sure.
Does game mode upscale content and do you think it would be beneficial to have game mode calibrated? Also why does her seem dimmer with warm 2 over cool (my preferred picture mode)?
Great intro explaining shot about gaming straight up
Great video!
I wanted to ask a few question.I'm also planning to buy C1 to use as my PC monitor.
1)Have you also tried the C1 in 1440p, 120Hz?
I have a RTX 2080TI GPU (with HDMI 2.0 only), so I was wondering If it would be possible to play in 1440p, 120Hz and chroma 4:4:4 or RGB?
2)I have a question about LG picture modes (when using TV as a monitor).
Now I was wondering when you change your HDMI input name to PC (in order to get low input lag and 120hz, chroma 4:4:4 or RGB). Can you then also change the picture mode?
At the moment I have a Samsung QLED. There you also have to change your input name to "PC" in order the TV to recognize your computer and to play with low input lag, 120Hz etc. When applied, you can't change the picture mode. It stays as a "standard" picture mode.I found a workaround. After connecting PC to TV, change the input name from "PC" to "Bluray player" and then you can change picture mode to "Movie", which has better picture settings (colors, contrast etc.), you will sacrifice a little bit of input lag. But it is barely noticeable.
So I was wondering is there also a similar workaround with LG OLED-s? can you also change the picture setting to a better one, when using TV as monitor or are you locked to the "standard picture" mode ?
Thank you,
Chris
Can you compare sony a80j vs lg c1 by using cable.. i want to see which one better in upscaling
Can you post your calibration picture settings for gaming on this TV? That would be great!
Looking forward to that a80j full review and complete comparison with C1. Would love to see your take on a80j vs. c1 in HDR movies. Thanks for your vids!
Thank you!
Thanks KG, great intro and overall content
Thank you!
Hey, thank you for another great video.
May I ask you . . . Do you happen to feel any difference in input lag when using Game Mode within the PC Mode icon, versus Game Mode using the traditional Game Console icon? I have the LG B9, and, I do love it. And I am lucky to have a PS5. I definitely prefer the 'pristine-ness' of using PC Mode (less colour banding and the added visual benefit of full chroma) but I really do feel a bit more lag. Especially with any game using the right thumb stick to move the camera. And I notice it in both HDR and SDR.
Anyway, thank you in advance.
On your B9 you need to use PC-Mode for the lowest inputlag. On the c1 there is no difference between game mode and icon on PC mode
Hi KG, really considering getting a C1, my playing time is 100% on FIFA and MLB the show (not interested in any other kinds of games). I did buy a CX last year, but the ABL (Auto Brightness limiter) was a pain while playing FIFA, I could notice the TV dimming on regular gameplay and it really bothered me, ended up returning it... Did u notice any ABL while playing FIFA or Madden? For me at least on the CX it was too agressive...
Thanks @Tech with KG I was able to buy a lg 48 inch c1 and I love it
Great reviews I'm thinking of buying the 55 inch LG TV C1 120 frames for my Xbox series X I got for Christmas have il be mainly using it for gaming but when I'm not il be using it to watch sports mainly football soccer and some Netflix and Disney plus if I have it on for a few hours watching sports or films should I be worried about burn in ?also just subbed and liked your vid !
Great vid, i have a quesrion, can i use white and dark stabilizers outside game mode? Because i want the best picture quality and oled motion pro but i need to know if i can used those outside game mode
Excellent video my friend! Keep up the great work!
Thank you good sir! You do the same as well !
Your doing well with your videos mate keep it up
Thank you
man great content and really like your healty focus in the comunity,, kg i hope you could do a focus gaming video about qled vs oled c1 vs 90a y heard the 85a is almost the same picture in my country is to xpensive im considering the 85a , i really think the oled is to dim
Thank you! I like seeing familiar names like yours around, community is huge to me. QN90A vs C1 gaming only video is definitely possible I have some gaming videos from when I had these two side by side that I liked better for gaming in terms of scene impact.
Hey KG man, I just found your channel and I appreciate what you're doing brother. I'd love your take on comparing the LG C1 to the Sony A80J, especially since they're basically the same price (thanks for that shout this morning!) I'm pretty much settled on the A80J atm, I wasn't a huge fan of the LG CX. Might just buy it today!
Thank you! Yeah well that video definitely isn’t ready yet, but I have been filming the comparison already so if you got any questions about the two I can try and tell you what I’ve noticed this far.
@@TechWithKG Yeah man, I'm really hoping to see the stutter difference when playing a game and slowly moving the camera, like orbiting slowly around your character with mountains in the background.
What about the issue when ps5 is connected to lg c1. It greyed out some of the settings under the clarity setting in advanced settings on lg c1.
I still play on my C6 65" OLED, now i like to upgrade but not nur to which TV, i am concerned to repick LG as i have massive burn in on my C6, you really see all games menus in real content, extremly annoying but this was the first gen OLED so im wondering if this has improved?
Amazing Spectacular Marvellous LG C1 by the way what size is that tv .. 65 or 77 ..?
It’s beautiful tv ⭐️❤️
I was like you when I worked at Target from 2002 to 2013. Other workers would get mad at me for telling the customers what actually would fit what they want instead of what the workers was trying them to get. One guy even pulled out a folder and tried telling me the info Target gives them is correct. This was when Blu Ray and HD DVD came out. He ended up telling a higher up and they told me I wasn't wrong but if I could avoid doing that to him and to ignore him lol.
Lol yeah, good on you for staying true to yourself some people let these jobs corrupt their integrity it’s sad to see.
I'm watching this video on my LG nano cell 85 and I can easily see that A. The CI looks great and B. You can see it's significantly better then my LG nano cell which is not a bad gaming TV itself. I'm definitely upgrading to a c1 at some point
Love your video so informative. You tell us what we’re thinking! 👍 subscribed! Only thing I wanted to know from the video, is the picture (which looks awesome!) out of the box or after calibration? I want to get one but I am on the fence 😔
Thank you. These are out of the box settings.
@@TechWithKG Thank You 🙏🏽 I’m all over it 👍
Keep up the hustle brotha. Enjoying your content. Can't wait to watch the Sony vs LG video as I'm debating which one to go with (leaning towards LG simply as they offer more gamer oriented options).
Thank you!
The tv is incredible haven't tried other top gaming tvs but i can't imagine any of them topping this
hi bro! love your channel. I would like to ask u a questipn i have 50%on tv film v v and.another 50%is ps5 and pc gaming
would u please.tell me which one should i.choose A80/90j ? or C1? thanks man!
Thank you. PS5 and PC gaming your probably going to want to lean towards the C1 or the G1 because you have VRR day one and if you ever plan on getting eARC with Sony down the line your going to run into a port issue for HDMI 2.1 if you ever want to fully utilize your devices. However if you don't think you need the extra HDMI 2.1 ports the Sony TVs are better looking in terms of image quality.
Great job bro! Is it worth getting the C1? I have a Q80R. Would it be a big step up? It’d be for gaming mostly. Subbed!
From a Q80R you will be losing some brightness but you are getting better black performance it really depends on your picture preference, also can your room condition allow for an oled? Thanks for the sub btw!
Is it worth upgrading from c7 to c2 for gaming pls help
In my country now there is less than 100€ prive difference between the cx and the c1,so the c1 would be the obvious tv for me.Also nice video,keep up the good work.
Very helpfull video! I can get the 65 inch G1 in the same price as C1. Should i take it? Have never an Oled before.
Thanks and wow seems like a good deal same price as C1 hard to say no to that!
Great content! Would love a C1 vs. A80J comparison. The A80J is the same price as the C1 today on Amazon...I'm trying to figure out which to buy. Thanks!!!
Is gaming important?
@@TechWithKG I have a PS5, so yes, it's important, but so is streaming and movies. I have a 2013 Sony W900a and am looking to upgrade.
Would the c1 would still be the best option as both oled and led ? Since My use would be more or less the same as this guy. Would the 50 inch qn 90a be a great 2 option if oled might not my preference or the any Sony recommendation not above 65 inch ?
For a competitive FPS (mainly) player that would want the best out of gaming, would you say the 48 would be the best? Wouldn't the 48 have the lowest input lag? Also I've been wondering, but since all the sizes of the same model has the same pixel count (2160p), Wouldn't the 48'' have most detail since the pixels are more compact rather than spread out? I would say the bigger the TV would be more suitable for a larger room. I have a small bedroom that I want to either get the 48" or 55", but since I'm focusing on the gaming aspect, wouldn't you say the 48" would be the better choice? Less input lag, higher refresh rate since pixels are more compact? I'm not sure I need some ideas on this.
Input lag is roughly the same amount across the sizes. I’d say if you can sdjust your seating in a computer chair or something get the 48 but if your further away and can’t adjust go for 55.
Hey man great video! I got the 77" CX for $2200AUD less than the launch price of the 77" C1. Was that a good move you think?
That’s a great deal yeah
Does the game mode degrade picture quality and if so is the degradation noticable?
Nice video man. I was going to buy a Q90T, but you were saying it had a dimming issue. Would you avoid it? I game and watch movies in a mixed lighting room. Thanks for the gamer's perspective!!!
Dimming issue is not an issue for most content but there are still some bugs present that are minor annoyances. What’s your budget looking like for a tv purchase?
@@TechWithKG Around $1800 to $2500. My living room gets a little bright in the day time, but I watch at night as well.
@@Digimortal1622 better wait for QN 90A NEO
Just bought one today from best buy, this tv is amazing for gaming
Good Content and Greetings from Germany !
Thank you! Greetings, I am half German myself good sir.
Awesome video bro tell it like it is
Thanks bro!
Is it better than the AORUS fv43u?
Ima be going from LG GN950 ips monitor to now the C1 when it arrives this week. What are your thoughts between the two? Im hoping to have a better gaming experience on my PS5 with the C1. Hopefully i can kill more on call of duty with the C1.
Update?? I have c1 48 coming Tuesday.
@@Realmccoy614 its a beast! I see everything and game settings are great
Did you encounter any banding issues? In gaming/ tv/ movies? Or even some flickering when it’s in a dark screen?
Like banding in the sky and stuff or vertical banding?
For the sky yes banding is present in some games for sure I did notice that, but it has to be said some games just have banding regardless of the TV and there’s nothing you can do about it, this kind of makes it hard to tell if it’s the game’s fault or is it the TV.
I have this TV. But whenever I play an older game that's not in 4k.. the game optimizer doesn't activate nor the HDR. Leaving me with a huge lag response because it's not in 4k... any game.. it's infuriating and I don't know how to fix this??? I mean for 4k games it's out of this world! But help??
Why is the last scene on the C1 so blue looking compared to the samsung? Is it supposed to be like that? I feel the samsung picture has better colours, am i alone?
Hi man, i can see some blooming,is it normal on oleds??
I dont know which one should i pick... 85 inch qn85a or 77' C1 or 65' A90J. I mostly game but my couch is far from the wall where the tv is situated- 4 meters or 13 feet. Maybe a bigger size will have more impact than the actual picture quality
85 qn85 for sure if mainly play games. Samsung also only one with game more 30 to 60 fps conversion. Always can buy dedicated movie TV later if extra money and better tech comes around.
13 feet id say the biggest TV for your budget you can get without sacrificing your quality. Is it a dark room or light room?
Im good with my q90t and the ps5 next time ill upgrade will be for ps6 Pro or something, i will checkout regular the new tvs but this year didnt impress me compared to 2020. I only wish we could get that gamebar menu for 2020 models but im sure samsung wont do that
Trust me your not really missing anything with game bar unless your a PC gamer primarily and have the graphics card to run games in 21:9 or 32:9.
Pla i want to know is this full brightness and is tone mapping on
What settings did you use 😎
Great content bro. Thank you for showing actual gaming footage. I have a C9 in my bedroom. Definitely looking at upgrading my living room tv. Definitely staying with OLED.
Nice! Yeah they haven’t gotten a ton better since C9 but I think if you get one look to Sony to switch it up. Their entire experience is just different it’s a nice change up from LG if you just want a different feel but same oled quality.
Can anyone help me by answering some basic questions about setting up my 1 day old C1?
How do you feel this compares to monitors when playing FPS and input delay?
Pretty comparable feel wise, I don't notice a different to be honest.
Been looking at this TV. I'm a struggling man but I will have it. This tv just looks amazing.
It is you won’t be disappointed
W jakiej jest formie tv LG C1 dzisiaj. Sa jakieś wypalenia .
Awesome Video!!! Killing it!!!! C1 VS QN90A???? Regrets going C1 over QN90A???
C1 is nice
QN 90A is masterpiece and never let you down in next 10 years
So you think this or a 4K 120hz monitor for the ps5 for fps gamers ?
Looking at this or the Eve spectrum
lg c1
Kg what are your thoughts on the c2 42 inch strictly for gaming. I play a little bit on my a80j 77 it feels faster than my benq monitor but 77 inch for me is to big for games thinking of getting the 43 inch thoughts
Definitely not a bad choice I enjoy faster paced games on my 48 c1 I try to play on that when possible for those games .
Which do you prefer gaming on the c1 or samsung qn90a?
Depends on the game, fast pace competitive type FPS games I like the OLED same with darker atmosphere games like dark souls or some horror games, but for just about everything else I think I preferred the QN90A I love that peak brightness it produces some amazing highlight detail.
What are the standpipe dimentions on the 77 C1?
KG I play cod mlb the show madden nba 2k and a little racing do you think I will get burn in usein the lg c2. Or how do I lower the logo score tickers.
I don’t think it’ll be an issue I played Madden a lot as one of the only games I played a few years back with my C7 and that didn’t burn in and this was before all the extra burn in protection.
My 2018 QLED TV is 1500nits so many plder QLED tvs are super bright not just the QN9 tvs
this the TV many are saying is great for Gaming? the LG C1 is there a certain one or does it matter? also not looking for the biggest a 55" would suite just fine, just trying to gather information to not buy the wrong one and have to Return hoping to get Good Advice into buy a TV instead of a Monitor many are transitioning to playing on a TV more then a PC monitor if it's possible I'm in. Also Thank you for Sharing with all of us and of course Thank you again for putting this video together I know it's a lot of Work.
Any OLED TV is great for gaming because of the response time its a nice plus to OLED. Let me know what you end up going with. See if you can find a sale on the 55" G1 I like those for use as a monitor.
@@TechWithKG : Thank you for replying back, yeah for sure i will wait for a sale, leave a Link if i run into a good Deal.

I got some of this coming in an upcoming video!
Can’t wait for the a80j vs c1 will subscribe!
Awesome its coming pretty soon stay tuned!
You forgot to mention my name as a creator😀😀😀😀😀 Just kidding my man love your content love your honesty what TV are you using right now for your gaming?
Thanks! I am still using a Samsung Q90T as my main TV but I plan on getting another TV later this year still undecided I watch and play a lot less than I did before I started TH-cam weirdly enough but yeah I think want to get an OLED again so I have a good LCD and a good OLED in the house.
@@TechWithKG Would love to talk to you further do you have an email?
Thank you, i was waiting for this Video👌
Thanks, hopefully it lived up to expectations!
Like you said in the end of the video - I bought the CX because of its current price. I am very happy with it and even in my bright room it is bright enough. HDR looks phenomenal on it. But I am very concerned with burn-in. I bought this TV for "science" to lern if burn-in is still a thing in 2021. I am gaming, watching movies but I am also watching regular TV content like news channels. Let's see how long it will last.
Yeah definitely keep me posted, I think you should be fine but if something changes and looks out of the ordinary let me know
I have a c8 with almost 9000 hours on it. Probably 60/40 gaming and tv. It doesn’t have any burn in from minimap, hud or tv logos. I also don’t baby it or do anything special. The deputy v does its own thing with h pixel refresh and logo luminance. I’m looking at getting a c1 or a G1 this summer and giving the c8 to one of my kids. Cheers
I have KS model from 2016 until today around 20.000 + gaming hours... 100% only sport full power brightness level games..... still counting like day one 💪💪💪💪
@@TechWithKG KG have ever someone measure KS model and QN 90A NEO???
So would you say that burn in is not an issue? Because man, I play a lot of games, and I do mean A LOT. 4~5 hours a day, 8~10 on weekends. I don't usually stick to a single game, but when I do it's usually an JRPG. I'm not a fan of shooters and sports. Also, I watch a lot of TH-cam in between my gaming sessions. You think I have any risk of getting burn in in my TV?
Your definitely fine, I played a ton of games on my old LG C7 games never burned in and those were the ones that had bigger risks.
Is it a big difference between c1 vs sony x900h?
Huge difference
Im trying to decide between 85" sony led or to pay a lot more and get 77" C1. I have perfect room for an OLED - no windows and 8 feet away but I never had an oled and I dont know what Im gaining in practise for a more money and less screen
Well no burn in with the sony 85 inch led... size will always beat at smaller quality
Go for the Oled. You won’t regret it. Burn in is a non factor with current oleds.
I’ve had the c7 for 4 yrs with almost 7k hours on it with no issues. Burn in is overrated. Getting C1 77
Hey man, I really enjoy your content and I do also enjoy other channels and different points of view, I am glad you are getting sponsors and support, TVs are expensive, I can't buy the new models right now lol.
Thanks! TVs are definitely really expensive.
I love your channel and your content. I'm not in a good spot right now financially, but once I am, I'm hoping to be able to contribute some money to help keep you going.
Thank you! Glad you like the channel. Just you watching, liking and commenting is enough support for me!
Hope you get there soon😎
Can you upload a video playing Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch with your feedback?
can u do morre cutscennes in gAmes on both a80j and c1
since u testes c1 a80j and qn90a which would u prefer out of the 3????
Depends on what it's for. Tough choice for sure and it comes down to preference. If you are just gaming and only need 1 HDMI 2.1 port I think I like the QN90A the best. Movies & TV A80J . They are all good TVs overall though.
@@TechWithKG i was the blooming on qn90a alot etter than last years
2017 I tried LG SJ8000 nano cell 13ms
2018 Samsung NU8000 15ms
2019 LG C9 12ms
2020 Sony X900h 15ms
when I play on C9 it's much faster and clearer when first use or switching between TVs
for fast pace games I think LG OLED wins easily
note 2017 nano cell also dim you have to use dynamic contrast which is not accurate enough compare to tone mapping and HGIG in my opinion is the best
also I tried all these TV and LG C9 sound is much better next level
Yeah no doubt OLED is going to feel better for faster paced games, A80J is the same way as the C1 for this.
The best in-game scene you show is the strip of moonlight in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. The LG C1, that strip of moon light looks so dead and muted where on the Samsung QN90A, the light of the moon was so bright and vibrant. Use that same scene KG. It’s very telling. Please use that scene on the A90J and A80J Oleds and let’s see if it can brighten up the moonlight strip on the snow in Assassins Creed Valhalla. That scene should be your trade mark scene going forward on all future TVs.
For sure I’ll try to find a similar scene. It’s hard to find the same exact place I was at I’ll have to figure that one out.
I'm really considering the 55 inch c1... This is the 65 inch right
This is a 55 inch.
Will this tv also be great for fighting games?
Of course! Low latency input lag + Fast response time honestly probably the best TV for fighting games if you go by the response time + input lag numbers combined.
Hello guys!
I want to buy new TV for mostly watching movies and playing games on PS4/PS5 so I need HDMI 2.1 to get most out of my consoles.
I cant decide between LG's C1 and Samsung's QN90A.
What do You guys think which is better for movies and mostly playing games? The biggest concern is "burn in" effect on OLED TVs like LG's C1. Does anyone have C1 for longer period to tell me their experience?
If someone have any other suggestion feel free to share it but keep in mind that I need TV that is NOT bigger than 50" because I will be using it in my bedroom.
Thanks!
I'm in the exact same boat as you right now, I'm leaning towards the C1 with warranty, it really is the best gaming TV for the best price point at this current time. I would say the burn in warranty is worth the piece of mind if you can get one.
@@Silence.Mortal Hey Hanmah, I've bought C1 and its amazing, go for it!
@@vjekoslavk9455 very smart man
Were u playing on ps5?
Does the LG c1 supports 4096×2160 120 Hz 10 bit 4:4:4 ?
???
I have this tv -image and gaming is perfekt but i have eye strain with this oled tv i looking 3m away :(
Hey KG, does your C1 panel suffer from the dreaded Venetian blind effect?
I haven’t noticed anything yet but too be honest I’m not sure how to properly test it. I think all panels have this effect though.
Are you talking about vertical banding?
@@Keabrown79 - No, vertical banding is a separate defect. The Venetian blind effect, a.k.a., grid-pattern lines or mosquitoe net pattern inherent on most or all OLED panels originating from the Guangzhou factory.
Amazing video ! Not only lots of great info but also just so much positivity - gotta love that .
While I know LG oleds are the best oleds for gaming , I’m a disappointed by Sony’s gaming reviews (perhaps counter intuitively 😂). I’m really hoping Panasonic can be both a great gaming tv and a great movie tv . Otherwise it’ll be tempting to get an A90J and a LG B1 (as well as a mini led for the side room ). And if that happens - my wallet will hate me for all eternity 😂
Thank you! I gotta say though I disagree with people saying Sony OLED isn’t a great gaming TV I think it’s pretty amazing just lacks VRR right now.
@@TechWithKG maybe for the A80J - but I’ve not heard much positive about the A90J. Seems there’s 4k120 issues , if/when VRR gets updated - will there be a way to reduce flickering - and no hgig (to me that’s a killer ).
If Sony addresses those then I’d pick the A90J over the LG without thinking twice .
Do you still have the QN90A?
I have to exchange it Monday, I did take a ton of video on it so I am not done with content on it.
How is the trumotion for 30fps games on it?
Is the input lag any good with trumotion?
I heard about if you turn on instant game mode for the hdmi port and turn trumotion it will still have low input lag. Is that true?
No motion will still give you about 80ms input lag
@@TechWithKG is it playable for single player games? Or is it noticeable?
It’s very noticeable I don’t recommend it at all
@@TechWithKG do you prefer Samsung q90t or the LG C1?
I personally don’t feel like C1 is an upgrade over my Q90T from an owners stand point I like it better especially for SDR gaming and 30fps games you have game motion plus. Picture quality is better on C1 but it’s going to lack brightness especially in SDR, to me for what I use the TV for that’s really important.
You'll notice the benefit of that low response time with higher framerates and refresh rates even more: basically where an OLED can appear ''stuttery'' with 30fps content it appears extremely clear in high-fps/refresh rate content because of that fast pixel response time. Basically if you play 120fps @ 120hz locked and turn off motion blur, there really is barely any blur or smearing. It's even better than the fastest TN gaming monitors (the 144hz versions at least, I'm not sure if even an OLED at 120 can keep up with a gaming monitor locked at 240 for motion clarity... experts please chime in!) when it comes to motion clarity. But your assumption was correct: the reason the C1 feels/looks better than the competition's LCDs for 120hz/fps content is that pixel response time :) Some people prefer LCD's for lower framerate contents due to the natural extra blur smoothing out the motion, but those of us who're into higher fps/hz content and motion clarity will always prefer OLED.
I agree. I noticed that when I bought this tv and started playing games. It’s much faster then my last oled which was the C7. I love this tv
But most nowadays consoles and 90% of games are 30FPS. So in most cases this TV really sucks.
@@AlexanderShelestov 90%? Only on Switch. I love the switch, but it sounds like it isn't the TV that sucks here. It's not the TV's fault if someone's inputs can't take advantage of it's features. There's no point in buying a TV like this if you aren't going to be using 4k 120hz 2.1 HDMI consoles or PCs. It'd be a waste money. Use cases like that are the only reason TVs like this exist.
@@AlexanderShelestov it’s a great monitor for most games. Doesn’t really suck for any game…
YES!!! Been waiting for the Sony review. It looks phenomenal the picture quality. Even tho vrr comes later the actual quality is insane
Hopefully vrr is brought with a firmware update. No guarantee based on Sony's track record.
@@josm8063 I suspect it will Deff since the ps5 update for it will come. It might drop same week
@@dangy785 not necessarily. The issue with Sony getting vrr on their TV's is that their SoC is third party from MediaTek so Sony does not have direct control over when and if vrr is released. Unless MediaTek gives Sony a solution then Sony is screwed.
Updates may or may not ever happen.
Wait until Sony issues an update and then wait until that update is verified to work correctly without breaking something else.
@@chashint1 it’s safe to assume tv update will happen. I mean they always do. Lol. As far as this specific update your right. We have to wait and see. They did mention winter 2021. So hopefully!
Definitely the top of the list of tvs I only want.
Hi..i have a xbox series x..it's best buy or not this tv?
Its a good gaming TV and the right choice if you feel like you need VRR if not I like the Sony A80J a little bit better for everything. The LG CX is also an option and its a little bit cheaper so you just gotta decide what the right OLED is for you but make sure you can control lighting in your room or you might have a hard time with OLED.
@@TechWithKG thanks!!!
I guess I will buy a Q95A over the C1. I got a really bright room and a series x
Give me fresh information about QN 95A NEO Samsung and mighty Xbox X game pass ultimate??
LG C1 or Samsung QN90A? I'm really terrified from the risk of burn in :'(
If you can’t shake that fear get the QN90A and don’t look back.
I went from a Q70a to an Qn90a to the CX WITHIN 2weeks! I’m a big stickler when it comes to brands.. I prefer Samsung but for the price of the Qn90a I didn’t think it was worth it that being said I actually will be sticking with LG and I probably will get the C1 instead of the Cx since I wasn’t aware of it lol!
A80j vs the C1 is what I am considering for myself at 77”!
Nice! I’ll see if I can help you make a decision with the comparison. What kind of content do you mostly consume?
@@TechWithKG This would be fore tv, movies, and gaming. Although I have an LG CX in my office I game on now. But there might be single player games I want to be more immersed in.
What settings do you use? Currently have this tv and experience a lot of judder
Could be Ton of reasons. Driver, video card type, try capping the frame rate to 120. Or try vsync on. I get no tearing in 4k with rx 6800.
Similar to my Dell 144hz monitor.
@@tykendrick800 PS4 only runs 120hz. Have used game optimiser now but graphics are slightly worse but means no judder
@@jakelandsbury3736 I don't use game optimizer. Did you try tinkering with input lag settings that he went over in the video. I'm sure you can get a better console experience
@@tykendrick800 I’ve had a look but honestly not sure what’s the best thing to do. Optimimizer seems the best bet but it gives a tiny bit of blur. I think when I’ve got a PS4 and have 120hz it’ll be a lot better
Ps5
I saw on a review guy said C1 gets REAL dark in game mode using Gsync hooked up to pc with nvidia graphics card.
Ive heard this but I haven't tested it thankfully there is a slider to help brighten that up.
Is the A80J better then the C1?
For movies, tv and lower res content to be upscaled yes its close in a lot of Dolby Vision content but everything else the stuff the XR chip is doing is unreal at times. For gaming it’s less clear and I don’t feel like I’ve tested enough to say which one is better, I’ll get back to you on the gaming aspect.
How good is the X Cognitive Processor compared to the C1
@@TechWithKG is your c1 calibrated
Did you notice any differences in HDR highlights with the recent update on the C1?
Not really yes there is a overall peak brightness increase but it’s hard noticeable.
@@TechWithKG Interesting. See that qled comparison, I was shocked by the difference in highlights. Seeing as I'm coming from a B7, I wonder if the highlights are dimmer on the C1 by comparison.
Definitely going to be more impressive than the B7 because the B7 doesn’t have HDR tone mapping.
@@TechWithKG Fair enough. Guess I won't truly know how much difference until I have the C1 in my room :p
Yeah to me the B7 was dark when I played AC Orgins on it the first time I was like I gotta be doing something wrong here...
that side by side with the QN90A really showed how washed out LCD can look huh, pausing it at any time it was clear the OLED had far more depth and richness to the image... in fact for that reason i just purchased a C1 to replace my alienware AW3821DW pc monitor which is already amazing by the way and uses a LG nano IPS display... go figure lol. hope the burn it does not rear its head though im super nervous about it.
LG C2 is out now. Price dropped on the C1's. Anyone out there wanting a OLED C1 with price drop where it's at.
