I just bought a C1 48" for £799 - incredible TV. Assuming I don't need to worry about black bars like you would with Plasma?
I’ve had my C1 55 for about six months. 1678 Hrs later and still a beautiful picture. We watch a lot of movies and gaming on my Ps5. Best tv I’ve ever owned. Hope it last for years to come.
Can you see the screen time? Im going to buy one probably for my ps5 and watching stuff
@@SepSP screen time as in hrs? I have 1600 hrs on mine and the picture couldn’t be better.
Sorry wrong hrs it has over 1600 hrs now. I watch movies play o games on my ps 4 and 5. It gets turned in at 6 in the morning then off at 9 or so. When I come in around 11:45 pm it gets turned back on until 2 am. I have no regrets if my purchase.
Hi. How is it in daylight? Is it as big problem as some say? In day time i only watch tv series. Movies it will be darker around me
@@christoffero89 Watching tv programs or movies it’s not to dark. In fact it quiet bright. I used some settings I found on CZcams. Ps5 games are freaking awesome. I downloaded Assassins Creed Valhalla maybe spelled wrong. The graphics are awesome. As in most electronics you may get a good one or a lemon. So far I have no buyers remorse.
Just picked up my 55” C1 a little over 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it!!
I have had my C1 since the beginning of March and I will go on record and say it's the best tv I have ever owned. And I have owned ALOT of high end tv's. With prices being as low as they are now for the C1 I suggest you grab one if you can.
How is it in daylight?
@@christoffero89 perfect. Ridiculously awesome picture quality bro. Just get it. You’ll be VERY happy! 😃
I just picked up one on prime for $800 for the 48”
@@christoffero89 Had my 48”C1 for just under a week now and it’s superb! Paid £826,bargain! The picture is absolutely bright enough,my tv is positioned directly opposite a large West (U.K.) facing window and brightness really isn’t an issue. Even in the evening with the sun setting! If it’s needed I just close the curtains a little. The sound quality is again superb for a tv! As long as you have enough know how and a good eye for detail it’s easy to make the required picture/sound adjustments to get the best results from this C1 … Just remember to make sure to run the latest software update. Highly recommended!!
@@philkimber8086 C1 999quid 65inch from Currys.
awesome review, clear and concise, well spoken :) I've got the C1 recently and YEP! LOVE IT!
Just bought the 48 inch C1 for $796!! Most amazing tv I’ve ever had, especially for the PS5!!! I’m playing all my old games again because it feels like a massive visual upgrade 😍😍😍
Hi there. Could you please let me know if you noticed any screen lagging or "tearing" in other words - not smooth gameplay with PS5 games that runs at 60FPS? I won't even ask for games locked at 30FPS - those I would definetly not be able to play anymore. I have 48" C1 and I play on PC with RTX 3080 and my experiences with 60FPS games which are LOCKED to 60FPS are just horrible - for example (Mafia Definitive Edition, Darksouls III). I think that OLED screens them selfs which are High Refresh Rate (120Hz) deals poorly with 60Hz/FPS content - but I would like to make sure regarding PS5. All other games I play on 4K and capped FPS to 118 - with all of them I must at least achieve 75-80+ FPS that it is smooth enough for me - most prefferably is of course stable 118 FPS - but that works only with older titles and with few graphics settings lowered. Thank you very much for you honest answer. This is the only thing that it concerns me, because otherwise I would buy Playstation 5 sooner. Best regards.
Does lg c1 have wbc panel or web panel? Did you encounter any burn issue
I've also the C1 48" and i'm very happy with it, Picture and even the sound is very good!
I buy it 2 weeks ago, tv is outstanding for gaming and movies...
What about for sports and regular tv
@@ericlarsen6209 for sports and regular tv too, but I don't watch sports :D
@@borisbobby0988 thanks
I was the first to get this tv in Southern California. Best Buy special ordered it a month before release and this tv is amazing with no flaws. Especially playing xbox series X. Movies are extremely insane. I have the 77"
@@thehalfnavajo how were you able to do that?
One of the best reviews I have seen in a long time. Very thorough genuine honest and informational. Just the video I needed to see SUSCRIBED! 👍🏽
Thanks!
I just ordered my 83 C1 your review was very helpful n explained alot keep up the good work now I can't wait to get mine delivered I don't have patience lol 😀
Thanks for the info in the vid and the comments. Here in sunny South Africa we can't get the C2 yet but the C1 is available and it does look like a great option.
Thanks for your re-review. Im buying one of those this weekend for birthday, cant wait for it!
Happy birthday!
Had my C1 for several months. No issue, and better than expected. I don’t have a theatre room but my living room doesn’t have a bunch of windows. The tv is mounted smack in the middle of the room so outside light doesn’t really affect it. This LG OLED C1 is a replacement of an eight year old Vizio 1080p tv. With this LG OLED, when Apple TV is on and switches to the screensaver mode, sometimes my dog catches an image and growls at it. She never did that with the old Vizio and I used to leave on that Vizio tv all day. I’m more aware of turning the LG OLED tv off though so that’s a good thing. Since I feel I take better care of the LG, I actually watch less tv than before. Well, I should say I power off the tv more often now, whereas, in the past I would just walk away for periods of time not caring if the tv was on or off. LG OLED C1 is stunning and I hope for it to last a solid 10 years with care.
Loved the review. Will actually get one some day in the future hopefully it's still available then.
Third vid of yours I’ve watched and really do enjoy your style geezer, you’ve got a new sub here 😃
I own a C1 and I've had it since February of this year. It is really like watching tv for the first time. The picture quality is outstanding.
Great review! Bought mine last week!
Read if you're on the fence about buying and/or burn-in. After much research, and ALMOST buying the LG CX in 2021, I opted for the slightly game-friendlier, slightly more future-proofed 48" LG C1 (it was slightly more expensive too, but SO worth it). Previously I had a 42" plasma TV that got Windows Explorer headers and footers burned into the top and bottom of the screen (slightly) after the FIRST WEEK of using it for computer-related stuff just 30 minutes a day.
It wasn't bad though - I kept my plasma for a decade. Letterboxed movies looked flawless and it wasn't noticeable on MOST full-screen TV shows unless there was a bright daylight scene or a white background like the Matrix or something - but I learned FAST not to leave the screen on while the image was paused when I left the room for more than a bathroom break, because I ALMOST burned in a Netflix logo once when I paused and scrambled some eggs "real quick". I learned that the screen-scrolling option helped - and in the case of the Netflix logo FINALLY erased it after multiple full-length scrolling sessions (probably because I caught it so soon) - but those features couldn't cure the problem after a point. So even though the burn-in was minimal, and I loved my plasma, I was already used to frequently turning my TV on and off and thought, for the price, I'm going to baby this new one from the get-go.
I read ONE promising review for the LG C1 from a guy who said he used his as a computer monitor 8 hours a day and six months later had ZERO burn in due to the pixel shift/ dimming/ screen-scrolling options; that he often forgot to turn off the screen and left it while he did other things like run to the store!!!!, and THAT review got me to make the purchase. I thought, well if I baby it, and if it lasts AT LEAST six months, it'll be an improvement, and I'll get to see some high-def 4K after a decade of 720p, plus get to see my Series X games in all their intended glory. SO worth it.
Guys, I have paused while watching Netflix shows - with those big Netflix logos hovering on screen - gone to get a drink, ended up in protracted family conversations, forgotten all about it, and come rushing back in horror 20-30 minutes later... only to find that the picture was occasionally fluctuating from bright to dim, with a kind of automatic scrolling feature at different levels of brightness in addition to the visually invisible pixel shift technology, and the screen is FINE.
Over one year later the ONLY problem I've had (quite recently) is that our house was hit by lightning and an HDMI port shorted out (it blew out my Series X completely). About a month after that, the remaining three HDMI ports failed one by one in a single day, and it's currently out for repairs, but I got through Best Buy, along with their 5 year extended Geek Squad coverage, and won't pay a dime unless they have to replace the TV, in which case I ONLY need to buy another 5 year warranty (around $300 bucks). But if they CAN fix or replace the ports, my coverage allows me one more additional repair in the future before I have to buy another extension to the plan, or a new television. It SUCKS that my local Best Buy had to ship it out and might take A MONTH to get it back, but I don't even want to use a smaller, spare TV that we have in another room because I'm THAT spoiled. I'm watching things on my 17" laptop just so I can have the joy of turning that sucker on and being blown away AGAIN. Just a GREAT TV.
The lightning was not the TV's fault. I play games and TRY to remember to go to the pause screen or the menus or something every few minutes to break things up, but the image is SO immersive I get lost in the stories and gaming sometimes and just forget, and like the guy said - only for me a YEAR later growing ever more slack on the habits I had with my plasma - I'm using it as a computer monitor at times, watching TV and movies, playing games, and NOTHING - NO BURN IN! As others have said, and I don't think I'm exaggerating, it's simply the BEST TV I've ever had.
It MAY burn-in someday, but so far, it's 4K plasma-screen quality without the fast and dramatic burn-in problem my actual 720p plasma had. In fact, no burn-in AT ALL. Of course it depends on what you use it for - I think it MIGHT burn in faster being used as a full-time monitor, only because the dimming feature seems to kick in faster when I plug my in laptop, but even then, I've used it for near all-night writing sessions and when it dims I just minimize the browser, flip through some desktop background images for a minute or two, then get back to work, and a year later, no problem (knock on wood, lol). Hope I get it back soon (already bought a newer, stronger surge protector - 4000 joules this time); it's only been a few days but I REALLY miss it! Hope this helps, and all the best!
I have my 48 inch for a year now still the best panel I had ever owned
Btw...kudos to LG customer support....i bought a bx 55inch model back in feb22 because it was selling much cheaper than other models......great tv very good sound.....but developed several dead pixels in a month......raised complaint with LG...LG replaced it with a brand new C1 within 15 days so now I am enjoying C1
Glad to hear that. I've been VERY hesitant about getting the C1 because if I pull the trigger on purchasing, I NEED it to last a long time. I simply can't afford to have it crap out on me or require repairs at my expense. I've been reading tons of 1 star amazon reviews that all seem to point to LG being terrible with their customer service, going as far as not offering refund, replacement, or repair for TVs that are clearly broken due to mad manufacturing and not user error. In a couple cases, customers claimed that LG even blocked their number after labeling them a "fraudulent customer" and denying they even purchased the TV, even after sending them a scanned receipt with their name on it, after it was determined the TV would need replacing. There was no way for the customer to even dispute this claim as they were blocked. Some have claimed to be stuck with a 2 grand piece of junk after only a few months of normal use with no help at all from LG. That said, it still has better reviews than nearly every TV out there, and it seems like every company's customer service gets blasted in negative reviews. Basically, all TVs and customer service seem to have issues and you just have to hope that you get a good set with no manufacturing flaws.
@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 where I live there customer service is excellent....I have used several other LG products, never had to struggle with their customer service.
So my suggestion will be to check out if their service is top notch at your location, better to avoid then buying this TV if you are doubtful of their service.
I was pretty sure of their service quality in my hometown, so I bought with almost 5 years warranty. Oled is amazing in display and nothing comes close in picture quality. But then they can also develop snags like mine did. Better to buy with robust warranty and from company that gives hassle free service, else look for something else.
I bought the 48" C! when it had a huge price drop a year ago and I don't regret it. It sits on the wall of my bedroom and the picture is absolutely stunning. I don't use it for much gaming, but watch quite a few 4K streaming movies.
I’ll be buying this TV in a week or two and I’m excited about it! This TV is still the most value for money OLED TV out there with all those amazing features perfect for gaming as well as entertainment.
I like mine too... the only drawback for me is the remote. The amount of pressure needed on the circular navigation key to get it to do anything is ridiculous. Same with the power button. Sometimes I feel like the pressure applied on those two areas will break the remote. It's clean as a whistle, no dust or grime and I really take care of my stuff... but the remote is a downer.
I've had my 77" C1 and 55" C1 for over a year and have been extremely happy with them both. No gaming and just cable and internet streaming. I've noticed the 77" seems brighter than the 55" with the same exact settings. I would recommend going as large as you can and you will not be dissapointed. I also mounted both OLEDs on tilt/swivel mounts because the screen is very reflective with any light source (windows, lamps, overhead lights, etc...). The extremely wide view angle makes it very easy to adjust away from light sources with the swivel mount.
It's science. 77 inches will be brighter than 55 inches. More leds literally
@@chigozie424 I thought all 4K OLEDs have the same number of OLED at around 8.3 million? That is why there is a min/max viewing range depending on screen size to maximize the 4K experience?
Can you tell me how deep the stand is? I'm trying to figure out the footprint for my TV stand.
@@J_Seal89 I mounted my 77"C1 and 55"C9 on a tilt/swivel wall mount and my 55"C1 is in a Touchstone pop up A/V cabinet.
Take this with a bit of salt because I’m not fully certain.
Although I heard the C1 was supposed to use the 2021 LG panel but it isn’t made for 77”
Therefore the 77” has got the new 2022 ”EVO” panel which is significantly brighter.
Haha it is not ”science” and there is not more pixels lol…
Definitely get one while you still can. You won't regret it
My son got the C1 for under £1000, and at that price, it was fantastic. I'm waiting to get one for about the same, as it is unbelievable for oled, it's the quality buys. Great vid
from what TV & size did he & are you upgrading from?
If i'm not wrong the C1 is on amazon for less than £1000 right now
it was your year old review that contributed to me picking one up last week
I'm Sure you will love it!
I’ve had the 48’ C1 since October of last year and no complaints so far. Use a PS5 on it and it looks amazing plus the dolby atmos/vision content looks breathtaking!! Highly recommend.
Its a phenomenal tv. Will do me for the next 10 years at least. One feature thats so cool that barely any videos talked about, is the remote control that has a mouse feature (cursor moves around with motion of you hand/remote). That coupled with the impressively adequate web browser, its amazing (works great with football and movie streaming services, not to mention xvideos in 48” 4K 🤣🙈). And yeah its absolutely stunning with a PS5, Dying Light 2 and Far Cry were very impressive and it ran (competitive shooter) Apex Legends basically as good as my gaming monitor (although i usually play apex on my monitor, especially if i’m playing ranked mode). I really like the screen off setting so i can run spotify (with the really good sound wuality the C1 has) and turn off the screen to prevent burn in. So happy with my purchase. Got it in December for £1000. 5/5 can’t fault it at all ❤️
@@phantasticmrphasma9874 I have question pls, so if i pay ps5 and (((LG OLED C1))), are that’s good?
I’m gamer so i play minimum 8 hours and maximum 10 hours per day
i will play elder ring and horizon and cod MW ext
and a lot on extra plus
So do you recommend it?
@@lldarklordll3349 I don’t play as much as you do. But when I do it around 13 hrs on the wknd. Games are mind blowing coupled with the ps5 and C1 are a perfect match. I have no regrets whatsoever.
Hi there. Could you please let me know if you noticed any screen lagging or "tearing" in other words - not smooth gameplay with PS5 games that runs at 60FPS? In comparison 60FPS locked games runs smoothly on my 65" UHD LED Samsung TV. I won't even ask for games locked at 30FPS - those I would definetly not be able to play anymore.

Best TV I ever purchased!!! I have the 83 inch version and it's so damn beautiful and great for everything
Had my C1 since it came out. It's awesome!
Thanks. Great job. Very helpful.
Just ordered C1 48’ for 899€ here in Finland. Can’t wait for it to arrive.
Bought myself one 65” nearly 2 weeks ago , amazing
I’ve had mine for only a week but I must agree it is brilliant!!
Light years better than the 4K Vizio it replaces!
Thanks for your excellent review, I just buy one C1 83", it's a super tv! greatings from 🌶
I just ordered a 55 inch C1 it gets here in a couple days, and this video answered all the questions and doubts i had! Massive thank you!
Now the capabilities of my ps5 are going to be fully used.
I got the 77 c1 for my ps5 and it blows my mind
Have C1 55", it's awesome. BUT, too bad that after Playstation 5 update for VRR, we lost truemotion and hdr and only to get that back is turn of 4k deep colors by which you get 1080p no hdr and no vrr... Such a shame, it's been like that for past month since the update... 👎
The PS5 is awesome on the C1. After six months I’m still blown away by its picture.
@@Hellavionx You dont want Truemotion for playing games, single or multiplayer, its for shows and movies and is disabled in game mode for that reason. Also VRR 100% works with HDR simultaneously, I own a C1 and it works just fine. I would look into the problem more (not sure if youre using game mode on the tv or not)
@@PantsaBear I do want Trumotion on some game that are 30fps ir lower. As when i use it it looks like 60-120fps than, and latency is than a bit higher but since i use it only on single player games I don't mind it. Now everytime when i play different games I have to change the game mode, deep color etc... Again, such a shame since than i don't have HDR anymore since the update.
I saw this tv on Target’s website for $1099 around 10 weeks ago. I was thinking damn, that’s a good price. And as I was planning on purchasing an Xbox Series X soon, I figured I should go for it.
I actually left it unopened under my bed for nine weeks (slight buyers remorse I suppose as I didn’t NEED it). I just got help setting it up yesterday after getting a new entertainment center and the Series X. I haven’t had a chance to spend time with it yet, but the reviews for gaming on this tv have me quite hopeful and making me feel better about the purchase. I also have only one window in my room with light blocking blinds so I feel like I am going to be very satisfied.
I’ll definitely drop another comment here after I have gamed on it a bit.
Kudos SJ, great video! Last BF i was able to get a 77C1 for only 2000 euros. New model 77C2 cost 3800 euros MSRP launch price, nearly twice i paid for the C1. I think i had made a good deal with the C1.
Very nice!
헐 어떻게 2천유로에 산거지
한국에서는 2천유로에 못사는데
Nice got my 83C1 for 3500 euros about 4 weeks ago as well :)
Just got my c1 2 days ago and I’m obsessed with it. Absolutely no complaints, and it’s amazing to game on my Xbox series s. Gonna get a ps5 soon to game with it too
I have question pls, so if i pay ps5 and (((LG OLED C1))), are that’s good?
I’m gamer so i play minimum 8 hours and maximum 10 hours per day
i will play elder ring and horizon and cod MW ext

I’ve had my 48 inch version since August and agree 100%. It’s the best tv I’ve owned to date. No burn in at all and gaming on my series x is incredible.
Did you ever want the bigger one or has the 48 inch been perfect for you?
@@seriouslycoolful I use mine for everything in my office. I mostly bought it to use with t my Xbox series x. The size is perfect for me because it’s in a small room so I’m pretty close to it. That said if my main purpose for the tv was for watching movies, sports and other tv related programming then yes I would like to have a larger one. For gaming though, you don’t want to big a screen for competitive multiplayer gaming.

@@lldarklordll3349 Yes I would recommend it for the PS5 as well. I have a PS4 connected to it as well and even it looks good. Make sure to use a hdmi 2.1 cable. Not sure if the PS5 comes with one. Hdmi is needed for the bandwidth to play 4k 120fps.
@@jmorphius3619 Thx ♥️
Hey, great yearly review, I just bought this TV in 2023 for £ 899
i have c1 55 and over 1400 hours im using with my PC and is still perfect no any problems. im editing movies so screen is some time an static time. im using screensavers too of course . im really recommended this tv
I still can’t decide between the C1 or A80J, thanks for the review
Why can’t I turn off audio description when watching TV? I don’t even have the option to turn off in accessibility . I also tried holding down the three dot button and nothing happens.
My LG CX has 2000+ hours of ONLY playing warzone on it, and I have zero burn in. I’ve maybe watched 5 or 6 movies in that TVs life time on it, but it’s not in the room we watch movies so it’s primarily a gaming TV and that’s frankly the only game me and my friends play haha. Zero HUD burn in, as in none whatsoever !! I run my TV at 100 OLED brightness and 100 contrast as well. I do have pixel shift and logo luminance on low, but that’s it :)
Bought on black friday for 800$ and it’s a steal! And that’s the 55’’ version ❤
Just bought mine today for 999 euros here in Portugal, it arrives on Friday! Super stoked to finally try my Series X with an OLED! And you know what sold me on OLED's? The Switch OLED model, never tried one before!
Was planning to get one in September only to realise there is a massive sale on for them so just bought one. Looking forward to playing in my new flat
sometimes I will fall asleep watching a movie and after the credits are done it returns to the menu screen and sits there all night until I wake up, would this cause burn in? i am assuming it would.
C1 is STILL the best OLED for the gaming features, black frame insertion (that is better than C2 even), and that the 65" is in the $1600 range a thousand cheaper than the C2. If you have a dark room\gaming room\man cave\basement you need a TV for the C1 is still THE best choice
cheers mate i got the c1 based on this, and its absolutely true. Its a man cave master tv lol
How can you enable black screen insertion?
Why is it better than c2??
Great video! Can't wait for mine to arrive!
Does the tv need much calibration for settings? Be my first tv that can actually use hdr properly
Thank you 🙏
Love this long term review thanks!
Hello Samuel, if I want to consider buying the 77 inch C1 model, what's the minimum viewing distance from the TV and the sitting plane? Any advise please.
I totally agree with you. I bought C1 10 days ago. I didn't even consider buying C2. It's simply not worth almost double the price. C1 is great tv and great value for money now that it's around 1000€ .
have you found any issues with the c1 or c2 displaying the xbox in the wrong ratio?
it feels like roughly 1 in every 4 times i turn my xbox on (hooked up to the c1) it looks like im playin a 360 10 years ago and 1 in every 6 times there is no sound, i need to turn the tv off and back on to fix the issue.
none of my friends have this issue with their xbox and someone i know has the same issue with their LG GX (i think that is what model they have)
Been a Samsung guy forever but it went out. Purchased the C1 and my goodness my eyes have been opened! Amazing picture and gaming is🤌👌!!
Just got one c1 £839, shockingly amazed, 😍, picture quality in Dolby vision, HDR, fabulous
does this tv give the option to switch the screen to 4:3 with pillarbox, to watch old tv shows? or are you stuck with a stretched image?
Just got my LG C1 55" to replace my 6 year old LG E6 55" which was covered in screen burn from kids cartoon logos, so it does happen. Really hope the C1 has improved in this area we will see
Pixel Refresher would have removed those
@@L1RW Unfortunately the E6 which is a 2016 TV only had “clear panel noise” which did nothing. There was no pixel refresher option
Got mine 2 weeks ago and had a bit of banding first but after a pixel refresh it cleaned nice... now at 10% grey it is very uniform, no pinking or other color distortions, HOWEVER.... i have a big issue... there is this hot plastic smell coming from the back.... and the TV is not even getting warm back there : ichecked , so i do not understand where this smell comes from... never had this issue on any tv so i don't know if i should ask for a new one or wait a bit for it to go away ?
i want to use this as a computer monitor.. specifically on a DAW called Reason means the image will be static for several minutes at a time, does anyone know if this would cause the screen saver to kick on or any burn in problems?
Just got a 65 inch LG c1 for 1100 usd. Local store held a promo. Worth it!
I bought it in Xmas. Awesome tv 👏🏾 my only regret is that should go bigger, 👌🏾
I have the oled BX over a year and im really happy with my tv
I just bought the Samsung A650 soundbar with rear speakers and Im just worried this wont pair properly. Its the only thing keeping me from buying it right now, what do you think?
Hi, does your screen have a slight curve in it or is it just flat?
I just bought a 55" C1. It's awesome. Replaces my Sony 48" HD tv.
I was going to go Sony again but the features and the price drop changed my mind.
Mostly used for a pc monitor/gaming.
Using this TV as a PC Monitor? Woah...I feel that for that price a curved Dell or a Samsung gaming monitor could have done the job for a bit less
@@BobaFettUccine22 I prefer this type of screen.
Would you say that the C2 is better than the Samsung S95B if I were to use either for Airplay and gaming on Xbox series X and PS4?
Also for anyone still scared about BURN-IN, the C1 does auto dim if there is a static image on the screen for a minute or two. It brightens right back up as soon as there's motion again.
Also yes the "Home" menu is garbage and fills the whole screen BUT that doesn't show up by default when you turn the TV on and I've never actually even used that screen except to look around. The menu\settings buttons do NOT pull the home screen up EVER so it's really not an issue
If i play with it 10 hours maximum per day still will not burn in?
Seconding this reply and am curious about heavy usage ^
@@lldarklordll3349 what kind of work do you do?
@@Osho55 why you ask? Lol
@@Osho55 I’m a student and you?
Should I wait until Black Friday of this year to purchase this tv ? I’m willing to pay for its price right now but just wondering if it gets cheaper during Black Friday.
I’m only looking to use the tv for my ps5 so should I get it
I am strongly considering getting the 65” LG CS which is a C1 chassis and panel with the C2 processor. It on sale this weekend for just 1599€ and the 55” is just 1099€ which seems like a bargain. Basically you can get a 65” C1 with latest CPU for the price of a C2 55”.
Is there a real benefit of buying the C1 over B1 if the second one is noticeably cheaper? About 200 bucks in my country.
My understanding is that burn-in was only a major problem on the earliest generation plasmas. I have one of the last plasmas manufactured and I only get temporary burn-in. You can easily get rid of it by turning the t.v. to a blank t.v. channel. The flying black and white sparks get rid of the burn-in. And that is with A LOT of still pictures being displayed on my tv. I would imagine the experience is no worse on an OLED, but OLEDs weren't supposed to have any of plasma's disadvantages, so Im real surprised to hear about burn-in fears with OLED. I've been waiting years for OLED prices to come down and will be pulling the trigger soon. So thank you for the review. It will either be an LG or a Sony depending on how much I want to spend.
The first OLEDS to come to market did have terrible burn in, many people had issues. But these newer ones like the C1 have very little risk with pixel shifting and dimming and such.
Can u set the tv to boot in to a selected hdmi input?
I’m upgrading to this tv from a $150 tv from Walmart.
I can’t wait to see the difference!!!
Got mine a month ago 55inch along with a Series X xbox.......It's amazing.
Crazy sale for the 77" on Amazon right now.... Mine gets delivered Sunday!
got the 77" fall 2021 for $2800 usd. To this day, every time i turn it on, im happy with the purchase.
thinking go going the same model and size. how's it so far? any problems or regrets? (be honest ha ha)
Bought a 65" for $1300 on Newegg after weeks of research. It's going in my living room which does have windows but we keep the blinds closed for windowns close to the TV.
Does c1 have alexa built in or you need to buy it sepratly if anny body know
My c1 is about 9 months old without any problems. The picture and sound are great. I do find the dashboard is a waste of space. My one complaint is the so called Freeview Play, all it achieves is to supply a range of players. Programs on Freeview, forward or back in time are not available from the guide as found on some other brands and ipads etc
Do you have an extended warranty for peace of mind? Or do you not worry about burn-in? Im contemplating on buying this tv but still looking for assurance I'm making the right decision.
@@GuerrillaxMoBxVILLAIN just have the six year free warrantee from Richer Sounds but doesnt cover burnin. Fingers still crossed! I dont play games, ive grown up now, but my settings on tvs are never the brightest as all the reviewers seem to want!
Had the C7 for a few years for gaming and Windows usage. Got bad burn in and now the TV finally burst into flames. Still buying a new C1 to replace that.
Does anyone get Dolby Digital Lag with this tv? I've had mine for nearly a year and to this day, I still get sound delay via Dolby Digital. Any fix for this?!
Most likely the best TV on its price range.
Picture quality is awesome playing games (I have Ps5) and watching 4K HDR content, movies, tv shows...
Sometimes i just watch 4K nature videos from youtube and im always amazed of the picture.
Hi there. Could you please let me know if you noticed any screen lagging or "tearing" in other words - not smooth gameplay with PS5 games that runs at 60FPS? In comparison 60FPS locked games runs smoothly on my 65" UHD LED Samsung TV. I won't even ask for games locked at 30FPS - those I would definetly not be able to play anymore. I have 48" C1 and I play on PC with RTX 3080 and my experiences with 60FPS games which are LOCKED to 60FPS are just horrible - for example (Mafia Definitive Edition, Darksouls III). I think that OLED screens them selfs which are High Refresh Rate (120Hz) deals poorly with 60Hz/FPS content - but I would like to make sure regarding PS5. All other games I play on 4K and capped FPS to 118 - with all of them I must at least achieve 75-80+ FPS that it is smooth enough for me - most prefferably is of course stable 118 FPS - but that works only with older titles and with few graphics settings lowered. Thank you very much for you honest answer. This is the only thing that it concerns me, because otherwise I would buy Playstation 5 sooner. Best regards.
@@lowcek86 Hi, just woke up and my english is not perfect, but I'll answer 🙂
No, i haven't noticed any screen tearing or lagging.
Played many games on 60fps and they feel like 60fps all the time.
Smooth and no input lag.
In fact the game I've played the most is 60fps; CoD Bo4 (Blackout BR) and most likely I've about 1000hr playtime on my C1.
Its been excellent TV even on a competitive game like that.
Only issue has been team cheaters and US servers because i play in EU, but i have nothing bad to say about TV, quite the opposite.
Took couple months to master all the picture settings, but after owning the C1 over a year now, im still very satisfied and for me it's almost perfect TV.
I've been thinking to upgrade the TV to 65" C1, because 48" look too small on our livingroom.
Have you checked that you have Power Saving OFF and have you tried to change the Motion Smoothing settings (TruMotion) ?
I've set them all OFF.
You also might have some sort of syncing problem between the PC and C1.
Changing some settings might fix this and check out all the C1 Game Mode settings too.
If that's the case it most likely disappear automatically playing on Ps5.
@@trumpjongun8831 Hi. Thanks for answer. Im glad that you have ZERO issues with PS5, I'm really considering buying it. Yes LG C1 is one of the best monitor/TV price/performance wise for sure, I'm very glad I got one. I have all those settings OFF and I also calibrated picture and HDR to best possible settings.. I mostly followed HDTVTest suggestions and tests: czcams.com/video/S0G8sHcFQq8/video.html&ab_channel=HDTVTest czcams.com/video/AiL6ZJXta4U/video.html&ab_channel=HDTVTest czcams.com/video/t2DNCpj5mpU/video.html&ab_channel=HDTVTest
I took advantage of black Friday and got an LG C1 55inch for £997 instead of paying £1200 for the C2 55 as the differences weren't enough to warrant the extra few hundred but I'm definitely excited to use it with my PS5 and 120hz
Regarding burn-in, what I’d be worried about is the top and bottom bands, where most movies are in 1.85:1 or even 2.39:1. So those top and bottom bands will be used much less than the rest of the screen over time.
yes, it will degrade faster in the middle of the screen, my LG OLED from 2018 that i bought new in 2019 has a green hue in the middle when looking at yellow scenes, it only took 3 years to have burning whereas my 9 year old samsung plasma has no burn-in, it does have image retention from time to time but its not permanent like my oled, i wish they still made plasmas, i currently own a samsung qled and its horrible on dark scenes, the blooming is insane, LCDs are still lightyears behind OLED, OLED is definitely the way to go if you're ok with buyng an oled every 3 years or so
I had a C2 pre ordered, 65 inches, I cancelled that and purchased a C1 for £1599 from Argos, it is a really great TV, films look fantastic, gaming is awesome, I’d read Oleds had brightness issues, honestly, what bullshit that is ! the C2 may well be a great TV, but worth nearly £1000 more?? surely not. Picking up a C1 at the moment at the price you can is Great advice !
Dude, the brightness arguments are so fucking stupid. I have an LgEg9600 and it has had zero burn in issues over the 5 years I've owned it. And let me tell you, it gets B.R.I.G.H.T. it sounds like people that complain about it watch tv on the surface of the sun.
@@B4reDown Many comparisons are done for enthusiasts. There is definitely a brightness difference, but for the majority of viewers they do not see a huge difference like nit nerds do. I have two TV's an older LG 55E7P and just got a new Samsung S95B. There is definitely a big brightness difference. I will say the majority of the time it makes a big difference is watching TV during the daytime.
I have owned an LG OLED 55 C7 since 2017. I have had no issues and I don't intend to upgrade (yet)..
I have 4 lg oleds. 2 c1s. And 2 previous gen. 3x 65" and 1x 55". And you are correct, I havent experienced any burn in at all. And I often run my tvs as a gaming monitor for my pc. Which runs in hdr. I would have thought the desktop would burn in. Nope. Not at all. But I will tell you this, my brother also has a previous gen oled (same model as me) and he accidentally left his tv on with his playstation plugged in and paused in borderlands before a week long vacation. And yes, he did get burn in. But its very slight and that was under a very extreme circumstance. With normal use you will not get burn in. With extra care to not get burn in, you could worry even less. These c1 tvs are amazing. Best tvs ive ever owned (and i have owned ALOT). Much so that I just bought a second. I saw the c2 next to the c1 at the store for DOUBLE the price. The difference between the two is hardly noticable and most certainly not worth the steep increase. My advice; buy a c1 while you still can. Or wait for the c3 to drop and buy a c2 when they go on sale lol. Great video here amigo. I agree with everything you said. Cheers!
Just bought a used one for $600 and holy cow, I cannot believe how amazing this is
Hey, Thanks brother, I'm from India & I was searching for this specific kind of 1 year later review for C1, as looking forward to buy this one, was slightly confused, recently Xiaomi launched 55 inch lowest priced OLED Vison tv here at half price of C1 but low on features like LG A1 ( not for gamers obviously), this video will help to take the decison, Thanks for this review !!!
I've had it for 7 months bro ...in delhi ..go for c1
@@avikchaks is there any burn in yet?
@@mqyasser8484 no brother
@@avikchaks bro, planning to buy C265 inch. Should I fo for it? Any other TV you recommend? Appreciate it big time. Thank you.
@@mqyasser8484 i would compare the C2 with c1 and G1 in store or on CZcams..both 2021/2022 models r good . Also check the sony oleds ..but they would be little expensive
As a C1 owner myself. This TV kicks so much ass. OLED TV that is also great for gaming and decently priced. It's all you can ask for.
I have question pls, so if i pay ps5 and (((LG OLED C1))), are that’s good?
I’m gamer so i play minimum 8 hours and maximum 10 hours per day
i will play elder ring and horizon and cod MW ext
and a lot on extra plus
So do you recommend it?
@@lldarklordll3349 lol yes I would recommend it for sure if you can afford both. The C1 is one of the best TVs out there.
@@1hardyparty Thx bro ♥️
C2 55 inch is £1699 though, The C1 55 inch is currently £899. I'm getting the latter delivered with set up next week. It will be mostly used for PC gaming from the couch.
C1 55 using for a pc gaming is there any burn in issue?
I ve got out of tv's 8 months. No problems with it. Good enough for me. Don't have any problems with it burning in the screen ether.
It seems like gamers like the 42 inch and 48 inch. we are not gamers and are looking for a good TV to watch and operating system to interact. would you recommend these displays since we do not need a larger display or is the 55 inch a minimum for overall pleasure?
What's the sound quality like from the TV speakers?
C1 is the best value tv since Panasonic plasma.
