LG C1 OLED: 9 Month Review - Still the Best?

@SpawnPoiint - would you ever consider doing a full in depth settings video ? What you use for TV, SDR, HDR etc. and gaming ? For example do you use 4:4:4 PC mode for consoles ? Dolby Vision or HDR ? HGIG or DTM ? This TV has so many different settings and options - it gives a lot of choice and experimentation. Hope you consider doing one - Thanks 👍

Had the 55” C1 since early April and it’s just the perfect TV, you can’t beat its design, it’s so stylish. The picture quality is just amazing too. There is an option to stop the dash loading everytime you turn the TV on, liveplus maybe, not sure. Also you can clear the cache in the menus and this makes apps and menus open quicker. Gets tiring hearing comments about ‘enjoy the burn in’ anyone who actually knows what they’re talking about would know that burn in is a non issue in normal usage.

My only issue with my C1 is I need to turn TPC off in the Service Menu to watch Dolby Vision. Terrible ASBL which hopefully they’ll fix. Tired of screen dimming down in dark scenes. No issues with standard HDR or SDR. Watch Dolby Vision with TPC on & if there is a dark scene, brace for the TV to start dimming down till you can barely see anything at all. lol

[@wallyjohnn6434]

@@TrexxArmz I still have a PS4 and can't stand to play BDs on it because it displays all movies too darkly. That's when I power up the PS3. It plays a lot brighter. I found if I set the 55C1 Display to APS, power saving mode, the PS4 actually plays brighter, on par with the PS3. Since the PS4 does not play 4K BDs, I power up the XBox One, instead. I just don't like that it tends to get warm, so I do not leave it in Stand-by Power Mode. I'm still trying to get used to the slight stutter on the C1. Playing around with the Motion settings changes the screen brightness and colour settings. Calibrating the unit, changing the Motion settings and then having to go back and try to get it close to the original calibration is tedious and self-defeating. So far those are the two deficiencies that frustrate me. Because of the stutter I found a Pioneer Kuro 50" to tide me over and hope to some day repair my LG 60PA6500. I'd get a Kuro 60" but at 133 pounds it is too heavy, especially since the 55G2 weighs 37 pounds without the stand and 47 pounds with the stand. The 55C1 weighs 42 pounds without the stand and 51 pounds with stand. One thing I really appreciate with the C1 GUI is that it is not cluttered with apps. It isn't a "Smart" TV in that sense but it should appeal to those of us that prefer "Dumb" TVs. I use a Fire Cube for my apps. The other thing I appreciate is that when tuning a weak signal the display does not get blocky, unlike the 60PA6500 where I had to enter APS mode to be able to watch an OTA channel. Thank goodness it has a good ATSC tuner.

Top content, as usual. I own a 65 inch C1 for my living room, and a 48 inch C1 for my gaming room, and both performs absolutely stuning. I've received many comments about how the CX is much brighter and I should move to a CX for my living room (surrounded by windows), but honestly i've never needed to boost the brightness to get a perfect performance. My brightness is usually somewhere between 55% and 65% of brightness, and 80% OLED pixel brightness, and I consider that more than enough. I can't really think of using more brightness without burning my eyes. I used to own a Samsung Q6FN that shines for it's brightness and the experience (only talking about brightness) was not much different.

Coming from a Sony X900h the standards for picture quality were high but the step-up is quite apparent. I was looking at the A80J as well but all the gaming features were hard to pass up for $200 less. One thing the X900H definitely did better was upscaling. Playing older Xbox titles definitely looked better with Sony's processing but not by a night and day margin. The sound on the Sony I think was also better, so a soundbar will probably be in my future which is another benefit of the extra HDMI 2.1 inputs as Sony's two limits configurations. Really can't go wrong with this set.

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

I was really curious about the X900 upscaling compared to the C9 CX C1 Thanks for sharing I found the C9 and CX inferior to older Q70R in that regard... LG processing seems to be a few years behind

[@kean10c]

@@ArtVandelayOfficial I wouldn't go quite that far. The upscaling is decent, it's just that Sony's is so so good.

[@doublet147]

Always been interested in the C1. Maybe I'll grab the C2 this year. I like my Sony a lot though. Not as good for gaming but the UI (Google TV) is better. Don't think you can go wrong with either brand.

[@SpawnPoiint]

I totally agree. Both are awesome and you can’t go wrong with either.

Nice OLED! Bought the C1 thanks to your review & it definitely lived up to the hype!

[@foxriver1697]

I have the C1 OLED 48 inch in my bedroom for a couple of months. And I play literally everyday games for hours. And there is no burning in. I’m sooo happy. This tv is just a beast. If you want a tv for games (ps/Xbox), just buy this

[@samirzuhayri]

Nice OLED. :) I’m so happy with my C1, got it back in May and as you i’m still amazed by the inky blacks in the movies, especially when are in Dolby Vision. But i’m interested in your picture settings. Are you using the default ones or your custom ones? And if you do can you post them? Thanks for your content I’m big fan! :)

[@neilpatel1989]

I've had the 77" C1 for about 6 months now and before settling on this I had the G1, A80J and A90J as other contenders but I don't at all regret getting the C1 as I think the quite a bit extra dosh for the evo panel in the G1 and A90J was not worth it as the extra brightness was a very small evolution rather than something more groundbreaking.

[@alyssacrypto]

I agree. Considering our eyes adjust to perceived contrast dynamically? Only in side by side would we REALLY notice this "30% brightness" increase between different OLED. And since OLED is already supreme in contrast due to each pixel on/off capability, its even less so important to pay more for this minor APL and peak spec. Again unless you watch super bright LCD in the 1500 nit range in a different room and then go straight to the OLED in the same night... yeah you might feel its a bit dim doing that immediate comparison.

[@311mikey]

Agreed. I just got the 77 inch as well. Did you put yours on the stand? Had an issue where it’s leaning back ever so slightly and was wondering if you wanted that if it’s on the stand?

[@MrJabs81]

I’ve recently been playing Mortal Kombat 11 in HDR on my RTX 3080 PC with HGIG and it looks incredible! I suppose it should look just as good on the PS5.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Oh wow, nice setup!

[@garysgreat1]

I've had a 55 inch C1 since mid December. I sold my Sony XH90 to part fund the upgrade and it certainly is an upgrade! I can't explain it but the P.Q is on a different level. It just feels so much deeper and crisper. 1080p content looks almost 4K. The Blacks still look incredible. Watching the Australian Open final today was a double treat. I use my P.C to game and engaging VRR at 4k@120 is awesome. I do active the gaming dashboard just to see the "Nvidia Gsync" logo. Yes, odd behaviour I guess! Sound is good from my wall mounting.position although I use my A/V reciever for movie time. I still think Pasengers and The Martian are my favourite films for literal eye candy. When watching Premiere League I've seen no vertical banding at all. Even better than my old Sony 900e which is still really good to watch now. The Home Screen is laggy but I can live with that. In summation I'd say this is my best TV to date and I've had a few over the decades. I'm just watching The Green Planet now in HLG 4K and it's incredible! Great follow on review btw.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Awesome comment and good to hear about your experience! Enjoy 💪

[@sj460162]

How do you find gaming on this tv compared to led tech? Ive seen so many comparisons where the led is just waaay brighter.

[@garysgreat1]

@@sj460162Compared to My previous XH90/900H I feel its better. Even though the Sony used Forum VRR I feel the smoothness of the C1 just feels more polished. As for brightness, I never had my Sony on higher than about a quarter brightness. Once I increased the brightness to much it seems to blow out the image a bit. My C1brightness doesn't go above 60 percent in SD viewing and it's plenty bright enough for me. Of course, in your personal viewing environment you may need a brighter image but it works well for me. And the image is defo a level in quality higher 👌

Value TV? Get the f*ck out of here. Who do you think makes the OLED panel for Sony?

[@SpontaneousWeasel]

Nice review! I was close to buying the c1, but i found a cx 55 inch for £200 less. When i got my lg cx I was surprised by the lack of image retention after all reviews mentioning it as a potential issue - also the gaming performance is amazing - the response time in competitive fps feels awesome to play. 4k films and even normal hd looks great although i did find sdr didnt look as good as it did on my old sony x900e. On the downside though i did find when viewing near black content there is sometimes noticeable posterization which is pretty much the only issue ive noticed. Im so happy with this tv 😁

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

What picture mode and setting do you use for HD stuff? I'm not happy with the CX upscaling, it's nowhere near as clean as my previous Qled Samsung

I’m so jealous of the black PS5. That was the main reason why I didn’t want to buy it at launch. Black on electronics is just more clean and sleek to me. It’s ironic how Sony finally releases more panel colors but not more consoles😂

[@sweedishpie360]

The c1 is an amazing jaw dropping tv no doubt about that. But I feel like qleds just can't be overlooked. Im currently playing the uncharted 4 update on the ps5. Started it on the my c1. Decided to hook it up to my qled (q90t) to play on the couch (using OLED as pc monitor). Holy hell what a difference it was. The qled just smacked me in the face. That hdr brightness, colors popping. The Scotland mission where you are outside during the day was so much better on the qled. I was literally blinded by the sun. Ofc when you go to a darker scene, that's where the c1 shines. But the q90t doesnt do too bad as well. I felt like I just wanted to continue the game on the qled. Really excited to see the new qd OLEDs. If they can merge these two tvs together I'm definitely going to be looking into those if they don't cost an arm and a leg. Great video as usual mate!

[@MurderTechnique]

I'm so excited for my 77" C1 to arrive tomorrow. I'm watching these KZbin vids to familiarize myself with it a little bit more before receiving it. I decided to upgrade from a 65" Samsung Curved QLED. It stung to pay the price for the C1 but there was no better time to buy it; the new C2 forced significant price drops. It's hard to see any difference between the picture of the C1 & C2 so it was a no-brainer to go with the C1 and save substantial money. The C2 may have a slightly faster processor to speed up load times within the Smart interface but for people (like me) who will not be using the LG interface at all, that difference means absolutely nothing. I will be using my SeriesX to run streaming services and play blu ray discs. I'm not even going to connect the TV to the internet, lol. If you plan you use an external device to run your apps the LG processor improvement on the C2 means nothing. I highly recommend picking up a C1 at a reduced price while you still can. Otherwise you'll spend a lot more on the C2...and you will hardly be able to tell a difference.

[@Jakeznk]

I actually bought the C1 three months ago because of your reviews. The tv is so damn good

[@cun7us]

I've been loving my 65" C1 as well. I also noticed how responsive it is, especially when playing games at 120fps where the input lag is so minimal it feels instant. Even games like Dead Space 2 with the fps boosted to 60, look and feel incredible. Funnily enough, Dolby Vision is my main gripe with this TV as everything with it on seems to look too dark, even with the brightness settings adjusted. Like the picture quality is good with DV, but just too dark and not as good as HDR10 in my opinion, so I prefer to use that instead.

[@theelusivememe1772]

Yea i agree, DV when watching witcher through the app vs Witcher in HDR 10 on my series x, both look good but HDR10 is just more brighter and colorful. Also for some wierd reason, DV on the series x netflix app looks terrible compared to the tv app. But the C1 for gaming is great.

[@cun7us]

@@theelusivememe1772 That's interesting how it varies on both. I watch all my video content from the TV apps but have noticed that Dolby Vision looks considerably darker than everything else. I think it's still in its infancy. Vincent from HDTVTest did a video how much worse it looks on Halo Infinite compared to HDR. I actually have DV gaming turned off now on my Series X.

[@socratese5]

Make sure you have energy saver turned off and use Cinema Home if you want Dolby vision a little brighter in an accurate mode.
