LG C2 OLED TV Review: Can LG’s newest TV beat its predecessor?

[@nealbethune3252]

Bought LG C2 65inch OLED in early Jan 2023. Best tv ever. Perfect for movies & high quality tv series. Couple that with a good surround sound system and you don’t get a better experience.

[@DefinitelyNotMyRealName]

Buy a C1 in 2022. Buy a C2 in 2023.

[@leivaandre]

This is the way.

[@comson68]

Just bought a C1. Admittedly C2 is the way to go with a better processor and added brightness and newer features, but the appreciable price difference between the two gravitated me to C1 - and C1 is no slouch! Especially when you can save money to buy a decent soundbar to go with it. I hope I just don't get FOMO in the long run by forgoing C2! I'll skip buying a C2 in 2023 for now or even a C3 in 2024 for that matter! I'll just wait to see what C5 has to offer. Who knows, I might get a TV with a true AI OS, like the one from the film Her! Now that's a delicious thought! Who wouldn't want a SAM like OS enabled TV for some intimate companionship! However, something tells me that I've to wait for C10 to enjoy this kind of luxury! Or even beyond!

[@dabblerdeluxe775]

burn in is a issue if you use it as a PC monitor, I got it in 3 months from browser elements, youtube red icon etc, never stayed still long so it was just the wear and tear of those pixels . I got the tv replaced and have ran it for almost a year now without that issue with some safety measures in place. 1: change to firefox so you can f11 auto-hide taskbar(chrome doesn't) 2: use adblock+ and select element block from it to block page elements like the red youtube logo or the profile icon in the top right which remain consistent. 3turn off the tv every 4 hours of usage(more is better) and let it run so the pixel refresh software inside runs

[@paulcanniff4308]

since I always have two TVs in my living room and use one of them as a PC monitor, I think the best option is to use a QLED as the PC monitor TV, and then the other TV can be a QD-OLED.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

@@GUY-on-Earth yeah with each new TV that comes out there's always gonna be some kind of improvement. But they're usually small. The new Samsung Oled IS something I'd consider to be a nice big jump. The S95B is a phenomenal TV, so if I was going to upgrade it wouldn't be for small processing benefits but rather for large boosts in everything. The S95B might be the nicest looking OLED I've seen in a consumer product.

[@SMack-mj2bp]

My C9 was struck by lightning this week. It still works except 120fps gaming and hdmi port 2. The lack of DTS support with the current LG OLED models keeps me from replacing it. Ughh.

The C2 appears to be the safe pick for 2022 but the consensus so far has been that the S95B (and presumably the A95K) QD OLED offers a significant improvement. Looking forward to seeing these displays go head-to-head.

I bought a 55” Samsung KU6300 when I first got out of school. It was the best TV I could afford at the time and it’s been a solid TV for me for almost 6 years but I moved recently and decided it was time to upgrade and the more I learn about these OLEDs the more I feel like I’ve really been missing out. I just ordered a 77” C2 so I’m pretty excited to see how big of a difference it really is from a 6 year old Budget LCD.

[@SquallyParkour]

Same experience. Bought a 55” Samsung about 6 years ago… the best I could afford at the time. Bought a house last year. I just set up my 77” C2. It’s awesome. PS4 looks great. All my appliances are LG, so I decided to go LG. No complaints. I do think the Home Screen is “cluttered”, but it gives a new, fresh feel from all my other TVs, so I’m enjoying it for now. Cursor on tv is real sensitive, gonna take some getting used to. Hope you love your TV, and more blessings your way!

[@mocheen4837]

You will not be disappointed

[@melrobinson6919]

I'm seriously tempted by the 77" C2, especially with Costco's price at $2500 with their extended warranty. I'm currently still using my Samsung LED 75" 1080P, second model from the bottom that I bought in early 2014. Its been flawless and still looks very good on 1080i OTA, 1080P from my Firestick, Blueray, etc. I would like my next TV to have the new ATSC 3.0 tuner that the C2 doesn't have. Decisions, decisions.... Hope you like your C2.

No. In fact, years down the road the area where the letterbox bars are will appear brighter from not being illuminated. OLED TVs technically don’t have burn in. The brightness of the pixels gets lower over time with accumulated use. We are talking thousands and thousands of hours though. I have a B6 from 2016 and a C8 from 2018 and have had 0 issues. Have watched thousands of hours of letterbox movies and also thousands of hours of gaming and both panels are still clean when I run color slides

Zero issues using the 48C2 as a 3rd monitor, watching streaming services, or watching Xfinity cable TV. Very easy to switch between audio depending on what I need to do day or night. I was going to pick the 42C2; but, the 48C2 was cheaper on Amazon.

[@C_G33]

it is much shorter. i like it. i like the old style too.

[@wallyjohnn6434]

Forget wiring, the question is whether you can put a Sound Bar in front of the TV without obscuring the picture or the IR remote eye. The C1 has a channel on the rear for wiring maintenance, but side HDMI cables may still stick out. The C1 is shorter to allow the down firing speakers to extend their sound wavelength, using the table top surface as a speaker length extension. Sound fires down, then curves and travels along the length of the flat surface. I love the substantial, stable feeling base, instead of wobbly skinny legs on the sides of the bottom.

[@michaelmora6545]

The C1 remote is by far my favorite. Extremely responsive and easy to use. If the c2 remote is similar, not sure what there is to complain about.

Surprised you didn't go over the weakness of the TV.. .. (besides burn in)... In general LCD can get much much brighter than OLED. This can be useful for HDR content some of which is mastered at these higher brightness levels... or just in general. Such as when you are a in a bright room and need something that can overcome the glare. OLED also has this aggressive ABL that tends to lower your already limited brightness when lots of bright stuff on screen..

[@turbosix9198]

I was thrilled too when I first got my LG Oled 65E7P but within 3 years of normal TV viewing the picture has degraded dramatically with color shading all over and burn in. LG claims 40k hours of life but I’m less than 1/4 of the way there and the TV is shot.

There are small Braille bumps you can feel for in the dark before depressing the Volume or Channel see-saw buttons. From the Mouse Wheel count two buttons up, then go diagonally left or right. Yes, looking at the remote is faster, but it can be done in the dark (think "F" and "J" keys on your keyboard that helps with finger placement without looking down.) Personally, I never use the Home button as the screen becomes too cluttered. I use the Mouse button, under the Channel Change see-saw buttons, to go to my HDMI selection screen.

[@mutcorentin7231]

You really don’t need a other streaming device, it’s just a question of preference .

[@wallyjohnn6434]

Just remember that years from now those apps will either be obsolete or laggy because the Processors get faster and faster, more memory is added, etc. and the old apps. can't keep up. Also remember that built-in apps may not have the capabilities of a separate device. For example, the Fire Stick has the 3 bars option, which allows you to add channels and movies to favourites, but the built in does not.

[@wallyjohnn6434]

In the case of a Chrome Stick it is because one can add titles to a list by depressing the 3 bar button. Open up "My Library" and you can go directly to your selection. AFAIK you cannot do that with the built-in Prime app.

CX has perfect black and 120hz. tf?

[@TueenTuo]

Wow, this sounds like BS hyperbole. The CX to C2 comparison only involve a meager 5 percent "improvement" in picture quality. The biggest difference comes from the CX to C1, and if anything, the C2 is a downgrade from the C1. If we are talking BFI, then we have to look at how the C2 dims the screen far more and does not even have the 120hz option. This cannot be changed either, unless they decide to change the hardware limitations in the C2 down the line. They will not do this, as it screws over early customers and would require a reworking of the processor and software. The CX and C1 have this option, but then again, this comment seems more like a sarcastic joke than an ironic, insecure projection. If anything, I would simply get a C1 and wait a few years before an upgrade. After the C1, I would go for a more mature QD-OLED, which seems to be something that LG will not adopt. Unless they add something truly groundbreaking, the C1 seems to be the last hope for LG, micro lenses and phosphorescent blue or not. Good luck, LG, because you'll need it.

[@lordhunterluasuperior905]

I want LG A1 to play some games, like my Summer car, GTA V etc Good to hear your good point about burning, i still fear it a bit although. But i watched a video of a guy that used it for one year With 2.500 hours of use [something like almost 7 hours a day in a period of one year} And nothing bad happened. In my opinion c2 is too premium, would be good they doing one more simply like A1 or even C1, because if I'm not mistake This new panel is less likely to have burning, so would be good having this without paying too much more. Specially for places like my country, here things come more than double the price 8:42 they did it, i talked too soon 💀

[@andrewmiller4664]

The C9 is bulletproof for me, it has the HDMI2.0 port built into one of the hdmi ports for "future use" you can probably grab one for cheap in 2023. I paid 4 grand for mine brand new in 2019. I don't use it as often as my Samsung 65in curved TV that sits in my upstairs living room, because I save all the good shows and movies for the TV in the man cave. The C9. I also don't game on anything but my Samsung, so my Oled should hold up for another 5 to 10 years, if we're basing the life of the TV on hours watched.

[@techsamurai11]

All reviews of premium TVs have to be vis-a-vis the S95b and A95k. I think the 65 inch C2 is a great option at $1,600 to $1,800 once they fix the latency issue. My biggest gripe is the blurry effect it has. It’s like a dirty window that you cannot clean compared to Sonys. But Sonys have ASBL issues…

@@hastensavoir7782 yeah or the Sony X95k that we've all been waiting to see as an alternative to OLED. Very disappointed by the new EVO panels' lack of brightness.

@@techsamurai11 True!!! The Backlight master drive tech that is even improved with better motion, upscaling and viewing angles etc. from the most loved Z9D suddenly becomes obsolete.

[@techsamurai11]

@@hastensavoir7782 Yeah, we sadly don't get Philips or Panasonic TVs in the States but at least we do get lower prices. Yes, I'm curious to see how the X95K compares to the Z9D and Z9J. Sony has been so quiet. We should start seeing their panels arrive in a week or two. Philips is developing a very interesting means of pixel refresh to reduce burn-in but QD OLED could render that obsolete as well. I love the B&W soundbars on the Philips TVs. Panasonic was the first manufacturer to introduce heatsinks so they deserve credit for many of the upgrades we've seen up until now.

[@SteveSmith-cm1hx]

Good review of the C2. However in my opinion the C1 still beats it in several areas such as build quality. From a side view the C1 is thinner and feels more premium and high quality compared to the C2 which feels more plastic and cheaper. I also do not care for the stand. Looks like LG took that idea from Samsung but at least they dont have the dreadful "feet". The PQ is not much of an upgrade from the C1 to justify replacing my C1 with it.

[@TueenTuo]

The only real image quality benefit that you get with the C2 is a minor increase in color volume. The brightness, shadow detail, and even the options for color gamut management are overstated and can vary between sets, i.e., a C1 can be brighter than a C2 if you're lucky or unlucky. You can also get much of the same image quality by simply calibrating the picture between the two. The features are the biggest "improvement," but they have also stripped features away or have added useless features. Many of these features like DVPD could've been added to the C1, but they have to add exclusivity to their new line of TVs. They may still add it, but it's currently an exclusive feature that mildly sharpens the detail in Dolby Vision. If anything, it just brings it on the same level as the C1 at this point, at least in DV. The C1 actually has the overall better, sharper, and more contrasty picture out of the two, meaning that it's color gamut appears to be a little better. I should also mention that the native gradation is better on the C1 than it is on the C2 and even G2, but the C2 is the worst. With the C2, you may get slightly less noise with near black detail (shadow detail), which can help clarity. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of overall clarity and detail (sharpness). The depth is also significantly better on the C1, and the detail always appears to look better. It's not to say that the C2 is bad, but it certainly isn't all improvements or better overall -- this is a fabrication. They just hid behind more marketing jargon this year, which is quite pathetic and sad.
