LG C1 (2021) vs CX (2020) vs C9 Comparison: Which LG OLED TV is Best?

[@hdtvtest]

At 2:53 in this video, for some reason the footage showed the LG C9 exhibiting some judder, which wasn't present in real life at all. We're not entirely sure what introduced the judder... perhaps a camera settings/ frame rate mismatch?

[@chrisbullock6477]

E9 is still the king after almost 3 years. Checks all the "Reasonable" boxes. And that's why I got it last year after the CX specs came out.

[@DaMasta83]

@HDTVTest Found out the the C1 also have the flickering problem like the CX. You can see it in loading sequences in Outriders in Xbox Series X on 120hz. Any information about it or workarounds?

[@willdtechthings2683]

Is Freeview standard definition and Freeview hd noticeable improved (sharper) on the c1 over the cx? Or would last years Sony 48A9BU be better at motion and sharpness then the LG’s

[@he.lena21]

As a owner of an C9, I totally agree with you, there's no reason to upgrade. I'll only upgrade to a bigger one (LG CX 77) PS: This is by far, the best TV content channel in KZbin, your job is amazing and you deserve the best of the best.

[@HBLW1975]

I own the E9 and agree.

[@CasualG-mer]

But as a gamer, I would go for the C1 instead.

[@CasualG-mer]

Besides, the C1 has the fastest response time among all of the gaming monitors which is impressive.

[@alyamoney]

@@CasualG-mer It seems the C1 is better in every way.. even upscales SDR content better than the CX.. which is ultimately why I decided to trade my CX in

[@JamesLee-ph9go]

Well that's completely miss information. I purchased the LG 65inch G1. Before I owned the 55inch C9. The G1 is a better TV. Its got better motion, its brighter, also better gaming features, with that Gaming optimiser. On my C9, I had plenty of banding, not on my 65inch G1. I put both TVs next too each other, before I sold my C9. I can tell you, the G1 is a better TV. I'm absolutely loving my 65inch G1. I purchased it for £2099. That's a bargain for a 65inch oled. 👍🏼

The term doesn't refer to all women, it doesn't even refer to all white women, it doesn't even refer to all mid-aged white women. It refers to a specific personality type, that is instantly recognizable, because it exists. And the term could be much much less kind, than it is. All things considered, Karen is still a kind term.

[@funkengruven7773]

2000 hours since 2019? That's great longevity. I've had my 48" CX for 10 months and I have almost 5000 hours already (4880 to be exact). I use it for everything though...computer monitor, gaming, streaming, etc.) Not a trace of burn-in/IR so far. I'm curious to see how long it will last at this pace. Probably a third or more of that time was spent with either a "no signal" PC blank screen saver or the LG screen saver, so it's not like all of that time it was displaying content. If it's going to wash out, develop burn-in/IR, or something else we'll see eventually. I'm curious to see if there will be any noticeable difference at like 10K hours. Whatever happens, there's not a gaming monitor available I would trade for. LG OELD offers the best gaming experience available if you want a larger size display... RE8 Village in HDR/RGB/4K/120 looks sweet at the moment...

[@domepiecemcgrill3896]

Ended up buying the c1 and Cx after watching these videos. I am a gamer console wise. The C1 to me is ready for the new consoles. The Cx is terrific for the Xbox one x. The C1 I do notice smother battles for my FPS gaming habits. Any splash damage or if you are in a battle with a lot going on the C1 handles it all so smooth. I personally financed my Cx and then the C1 came out a few weeks later. I got lucky with earning the most funds within a month for myself so I purchased the C1 and paid it off. I honestly could not help it it has a racing, FPS, and rpg settings for us gamers. Both blacks are truly amazing on the eyes.

Absolutely great comparison Vincent! But hasn't anybody noticed those LG OLED greens? I have the CX and think that it has awesome picture quality overall. But one thing that always has bothered me are the overzealous oversaturated greens even in Filmmaker Mode that make grass and foliage look artificial and skin tones and faces look a little sick. Just look at the green wallpaper in the Bond scene. A totally different color compared to HX310. This can't all be due to different angles and filming condition? There seems to be some improvement from C9 to CX and to C1. But what it is even more puzzling is that calibration does not seem to eliminate these unnatural greens completely. 2:35

What you showed is what DTM does initially when activating it. But give it about 20 seconds or so and it seems to kick in properly. Again, this is what I saw and maybe I’m mistaken. I would love LG to explain more as to what it truly does. I do acknowledge though that DTM is not 100% accurate no matter what. I would just like to say, I mean no disrespect to you Vincent.

When I first started using the CX I immediately felt as though the blacks were not as black as the C9, and if you watch closely in the dark scenes of your video, you can clearly see that the C9 & C1 are a shade or two darker.

The LG C9 has outstanding low SDR input lag in 'Game' mode. In 'PC' mode, the input lag is higher than the C8, which is somewhat strange. With the latest firmware (05.30.31) we measured a higher input lag with 4k @ 60Hz + HDR signals. This is fine for most people, but may be disappointing for fast-paced HDR games.

None of the LG OLED televisions could match the colors of the Sony monitor. At 2:49 look at the color of the wall in the background on the Sony monitor. It's grey, whereas on the LG OLED TVs the color of the wall is greenish. This is what I've noticed in real life as well. Compare the colors on a LG OLED and a Sony or Samsung LCD TV side-by-side and you'll notice that the color grey always has a green tinge on the OLED.

Only in HDR is the Sony brighter, it really has problems in dark scenes they get so dark that you can’t see anything. I called Sony and they tried to help me fix the settings but I never had that issue with the LG.

[@delislice101]

Yeah Vincent is truly the best, anytime I'm searching for information on my LG C1 OLED tv I skip over everyone else and go straight to the information he provides. I'm very happy with my tv for mostly gaming purposes but also watch sporting events as well. It's amazing. If you don't own an OLED tv yet. The new 2021 55" LG C1 is a must have. But if you can go bigger like a 65" I would. That's my only regret not going bigger for a more immersive feeling. I've commented on so many videos now lol. Just trying to get all the information on this tv I can to achieve the best of it's abilities. Thanks for the great content!

[@troop73oo]

Another great video Vincent, really appreciate the hard work involved.

[@BrokenPromis3]

Thanks for this Review! I just bought a 77CX9LA as the prizes dropped sharply

[@Lostassassin123]

Thank you so much for what you’re doing, Vincent!

[@GTRussell]

Genuinely think I could sit and listen to Vincent talk about TV's all day. Best in the business.

[@RXP91]

Appreciate all the work you do here. Clearly a labour of love. I was excited about upgrading to a 77" C1 after 65" C9 but the excitement has wained. I think I'm finally at a stage in my life where OLED goodness has saited my desire for picture quality. Thank you LG Display!

I got a 65inch CX with my series X last November. I'm enjoying movies and gaming at a level I didn't know was possible. 😎😎😎

[@Spirit4315]

I have been waiting for you to release this video

[@stevenleonmusic]

Based on your findings regarding the smooth gradation setting and my own experience with the CX, I suspect that there is actually a bug in the CX. I too cannot tell any difference with that setting no matter what it's on and I think it may be because the setting doesn't actually do anything. The CX probably has its smooth gradation filter internally set to "low" or "medium" and the actual setting has no effect. That would explain why it it looks better than the other two by default but the other two overtake it once you actually enable their settings. The CX is starting with the setting on and not changing based on your input whereas the other two start with it off and do change. I could be wrong but that seems like a reasonable explanation for the strange performance difference.

[@nicolaschallenor1120]

It is crazy the time investment Vincent makes to do these videos, great job as always.

[@greekfreak384]

For anyone who orders an oled from lg you can pair the free lg pl5 Bluetooth speaker they give you to it and get a way better surround sound effect with more bass plus it doesn’t block the tv. It’s worth it and is what i have hooked up to my c1 for that extra bass

[@1ZosoLZ]

So glad I bought the CX

[@PSNGormond]

As an E9 owner this is what I have been waiting for. Brilliant comparison!

[@josecarlosvilla4351]

I have a 65e9 too and i think this TV still be a fantástic OLED today. I didnt know the dinámic tone mapping increase of brigtness in LG OLED.. But for the resto the E9 is a monster

[@marcuscole8796]

@@josecarlosvilla4351 DTM always increases the contrast range of the picture and always fully uses the tvs capabilities ... means: some scenes get slightly darker to not lose bright details ... and some others get slightly brighter to increase contrast. So, DTM most of the time slightly deviates from the original content, but always for making HDR more impactful, using all the potential of the tv and avoiding any clipping ... which is perfect. Why Vincent accepts reducing brightness in some scenes but refuses the same in the other direction will always be a mystery for me ... BOTH ways the picture is slightly incorrect (but always the result is more impactful).

[@josecarlosvilla4351]

@@marcuscole8796 i dont know if Vincent has use the ub9000 for playing the test films but i believe is good to know if dtm of ub9000 is better than LG oleds. I know Vincent like very much this dtm in ub9000, you only need to see your video, and now with MK2 un the market in some time id like to know this

[@marcuscole8796]

@@josecarlosvilla4351 Vincent always uses the OPPO 203 ... plus the "HDR Optimiser" of the UB9000 is no dynamic function like LGs DTM. The "HDR Optimiser" re-maps the incoming signal once down to the max. brightness capabilities of the display ... by only reducing the brightness of bright details ... hence reduces the contrast range in scenes with bright elements. Why Vincent likes this feature although it is deviating from the original contrast range (or creators intent) I will also never understand. Only for projector users (with below 350nit capability) I understand the benefit maybe larger than the resulting loss of contrast range, but not for tvs exceeding 650 nits or more. LGs DTM always increases the contrast range, is actually a dynamic function which analyses the incoming signal and improves content frame-by-frame ... for dark scenes as well as for bright scenes ... and it's calibrated especially for your specific tv ... which neither HDR10+ nor the HDR Optimiser can offer. Be glad you have the much more powerful technology installed in your E9 !

[@josecarlosvilla4351]

@@marcuscole8796 Thanks sir, i really like the E9, is by far the best tv i ever owned and my intention is try to keep it as possible. I dont want to change it year after year, in fact Vincent is clear in their conclusions in the video. Id like the panasonic dp ub9000 too, because it has dolby vision and my sony ubp x800 mk1 dont. Considering Panasonic will make a mk2 version of ub9000 maybe could be a good option to buy, or maybe safe money and go for ub 820 since i dont need the special capabilityes music options in the ub9000. Many thanks

[@Drake23x23]

Your the best in the business! Appreciate what you do!

[@evi1techno]

The thing is the horizontal lines problem you descripe @ 7:45 can develope on the other 2 samples as well. It happend on my 65" c9 only after a 400 hundred hours and about 5 manual pixel refresh cycles. I'm 100% certain it was not there before. It's not an HDR only problem either, but there it's the most obvious. Thanks a lot for speaking about this though.

[@ryanbaker7404]

Vincent, I think you did just fine handling three things with only two hands! 😂

[@garybarham3992]

Why am I thinking of a scene from Total Recall. “Baby you make wish I had three hands”😂

[@FlemmingEgerup]

A huge thank you for taking your time to do this. Much appriciated!

[@tucobenedictopacificojuanm3168]

Finally what I have been waiting for.

[@steveb4012]

Vincent, Outstanding video as usual. I was particularly interested as I bought a C9 after watching your reviews. I've just added a Sony UBP X800 M2 and I'm delighted with the setup. However, I was curious had the C1 and CX left my TV. obsolete already. This comparison is very reassuring. Well done.

[@stevenkaye1625]

Great video, Vincent! Professional and detailed as always!

[@snerg64]

V thanks to you I have purchased 65CX from BOX in April but thought you were not working with them anymore so skipped the recommendation msg. Anyway fantastic telly, panel is super clean and TV was just made in the end of the March according to stickers which was a surprise to me. It was discounted hugely to the point I couldn't resist any longer. Thanks.

[@Zoranurai13]

And back when the c9 released. There was barely any difference with the c8. Yes there are minor improvements once you use test patterns. But imo if i asked 100 random people to watch these including the c8 they’d probably think it’s the same tv picture wise

[@jeanmendez7780]

I have a c8 and im not quite convince to upgrade to a C1

[@cadefoster9279]

Appreciate the effort that went into this comparison Vincent.

[@abritablondeabike]

Nearly spat my cornflakes out with the three Cs joke. 🤣👍

[@lyndonallen3237]

This channel is so amazing. This is content I'd normally expect to have to pay for. Your review quality is unbelievable.

[@filipeperry]

Excellent comparative! I will stick with C9 for more 3 years.

[@Marqjosh]

Bought my CX last week and I still put it aside to watch some Vincent at HDTV test. Awesome video as usual and happy with my choice gaming ha been another level since steeping up from a budget Samsung led from 2017
