- Here is my look at the LG C1 4K OLED TV.
This video is not going to talk about colour accuracy or peak brightness, in this video are other things you will notice day to day and make a big difference to you as an average consumer when watching the TV.
There are plenty of much more in depth reviews on CZcams that go far more in depth with the settings if you need that info.
Is this the best value TV around, for the price you get A LOT of TV.
There are better sets out there, but they also cost more.
Do you own a C1? a C2? or are you holding off for a C3?
Let me know

Hello and welcome to the Main Cave. We all know the LG C1 boasts an incredible screen, but what about other features? Here are 10 reasons to also get one other than it looking one of the best value for money TV's on the market.
I’m coming off my old LG plasma HD ready tv from way back in 2008😄
Which TV would you recommend I move on to next between C1 and C2.
I’m also attracted to the Samsung Neo QLED series.
Help!
(Yes I’m both a gamer and movie watcher- my living room is bright )
@@tha_jet_king3537 I'm on the LG 65C141b OLED from a PANASONIC VIERRA 50INCH TBLX0097 bought in May 2010 works perfectly BTW great condition
I own a c1 48 inches and it’s amazing . It’s hard for me now to look at lcd TVs even the qleds while brighter no doubt , but man the contrast oled is just unbeatable and the general picture is just much better .
I wouldnt say its better then qe50qn93b qled neo 50 inch 144hz 2022 model
@@jsteff9290 it is . Contrast makes the biggest difference in picture quality and you can’t beat oled contrast .
I know what you mean,, I just brought a 48" myself, Best TV I ever owned!!
I own a C1 65” it’s in my living as my main display and more then likely going to be a 48” for my game room. I don’t see massive improvements even QD OLED tech. Best display I’ve ever owned.
Great video! Love the music on the background! Room look amazing! I got me LG C1 55” but I haven’t open it yet. I’m about to this weekend because I’m moving. I agree on them 10 reasons of having a LG C1. Great work!
Thank you. Appreciate it 👍🏻
I received my LG C1 65”. I’ve only bought two TVs in my life, I’m in my mid 20s. My first TV was an old used hotel LG probably 32”. I bought that 2018. My second TV which just replaced it was the C1 65”. I was supposed to get it Saturday but Amazon emailed me it was coming a day early. What a joyous product this is!! This is what I’ve been missing out on all my life. I bought it to compliment the ps5 I got in May. It has been years since I played games and when I did play I was casual. I’m glad I’ve made these two purchases.
Just got my 48 C1 and Wow! Nice overview, cheers.
Great video. I have a 65 inch C1 in the sitting room, a 48 inch CX in my study/office and a 55 inch C9 in my main bedroom. I love OLED TVs. The journey started with a Sony A1 a few years ago and I loved that TV.
Thanks 👍🏻
Hello from Oregon, US. I got my 65' C1 several months ago. I just purchased the new LG S95QR soundbar 9.1.5. Thanks for the review.
Hiya 👋🏻 Sweet soundbar 👍🏻
Started out with the 55C9 and loved it. Upgraded to the 77C1 and moved the 55C9 into the master bedroom. I liked the 77C1 so much, I purchased another 55C1 to put into my Office. Added the Sonos soundbars to all three TVs and everything looks and sound excellent.
I bought a 55'' C1 earlier this year to use as my computer monitor and love it.
Nice vid pal 👌🏻
Cheers 👍🏻
I'm loving my 65-in C1 especially since I got the new PS5 next week is the Sony a7000 soundbar and sub for True Dolby Atmos the picture is incredible better than I ever could have expected
C1 77" here, such a great TV in 2022! Best price/performance combo out this year.
I have the LG C1 55” and it’s superb! Also solved the issue of getting the stand closer to the wall by not using the included stand and mounting it on a Sandstrom STSTAB19 Stand, this also allowed me to have it sitting slightly higher which gave enough room for my Bose sound bar underneath. (Looks like you could benefit from doing the same so your sound bar isn’t blocking the screen, my Bose SB fits the width of the stand perfectly)
As for Bluetooth headphones, I’ve discovered that I can connect my AirPods Pro 2 direct to the TV with no noticeable audio sync issues which was a bonus.
As for out the box settings, yep it looks okay out the box, but looks incredible if you follow some you tube tutorials for expert calibrated picture settings, then it’s mind blown.
Good to know. Thanks for all the info 👍🏻
I bought my C1 last week and I couldn’t be happier
Have 65” C1, 55” C1 & 77” G2. They are all awesome. G2 is incredible.
Yes C1 is amzming. I was gonna get it when I fist came out but I gor the G1 65in because of the slightly brighter Evo panel. Plus the gaming futures are awesome. Best Oled for gaming. Had it for alittle over a year now and love it
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.
Exactly that 👍🏻
I got 2 two...the c1...55 inc and 48 inc....just love them ...ty for the review....
Great list, I bought a C1 in July and have been very happy with my purchase ever since. I originally was waiting for the C2 to be available in Canada which was slated for July some time. I was doing constant research online between the C1 and C2 at the time. I finally got see a C1 in person because I found out a friend of mine had one for a few months. I was very impressed with what I saw. The store demos don't do it justice at all. But even with that I read that the C2 would be better in brighter rooms due to the EVO panel. What finally clinched it was two things price and the fact I found out the newer manufactured C1s came with an EVO panel( can be verifed by serial number) . While not as bright as the c2s panel it was slightly brighter then the orginal launch panel. I ended up picking one up for $1999 plus tax Canadian and at the time the C1 was $3299 Canadian. I bought it at Costco so had a 90 day return policy if I didn't like it. The C2 came down to $2399 Canadian within my return window and I still didn'tthink the difference was worth the $400.
And what serial number do the Evo panels have? There's a high likelihood I might be buying this TV.
I got the C1 a few weeks ago, it’s freaking impressive with a Xbox Series X
Incredible performance
I bought a C1 last month because I could get a 77" on sale for about the same price as a 65" C2. It is an amazing television, easily the best I have ever owned.
Yeah, love it 👍🏻
I have had my C1 since March and LOVE IT. The best investment I have made in a tv. My advise for anyone looking for a tv is to get a C1 if you can because in my opinion it's the best OLED yet made by LG.
Great points! I just bought 77” C1 at Best Buy for $1,799 open box, it’s a steal for that price. It looks great has the oled evo panel and I love the size of it. I’m upgrading from a 55” 1080p oled from 2016(still keeping because it’s a 3D TV).
The C1 will be my main for probably about 5-7years, or when the next gaming console is released and where 8k is prominent. I’m now spoiled at 77” size, wont go below that size going forward. I recommend that size especially for movies.
77!!! Nice one. 👍🏻
I thought the c1 was a panel lottery if u got the evo version you got a g1 for a c1 price.
Hi... How did you get that price...? Used on best buy on what conditions.. how many hours of used, any panel defect , burn in, anything wrong why they returned Also when you bought it was at the store and it was there physically or online ? I bought a 65 for 1599 and the 77 is almost $1000 are you lying Sr 🤥?
@@Brianmw305i not lying. It’s open box. I bought it physically at the Best Buy store . the screen looks great, has no defects.
It was labeled fair condition because it said it was missing the stand, power cable and remote. but it did have the stand and power cable, only the remote was missing but I bought one on Amazon for $40.
@@spyplane3979 it’s awesome, I’ve read that all 77” and 83 C1 have the evo panel. the panel lottery is with the lower sizes but idk for sure.
C1 is amazing for gaming. My only complaint is a slight inconsistency with the anti glare coating depending on the angle you watch it at it looks different by the edges. Not noticeable during content, but on a white menu screen you can see it. Otherwise the best tv I've ever had
Agreed, LG OLED's have a distracting color shift when viewing off angle, more noticeable on the edges of the screen, but still way better than an LCD.
🤙🏼 *Love my C1 48", got it around 18months ago, great value for money* 🤙🏼
$799 for a top of the line 48" Oled? Kind of hard to beat that seriously.
48” c1 with my ps5 upstairs, love the c1 not bothered about the extra brightness of the evo panel, I prefer the dull feel of the screen easier on my eyes and the colours ain’t saturated, I’ll wait for that c3/c4
Love the C1 55” so much I bought another C1 48” for my gaming room
What is your opinion on HGL enabled?
I bought at the price drop as well. Cheers mate!
👍🏻
Just ordered the LG C1 55inch for £749 being delivered on Saturday, my first Oled TV can't wait to set up my PS5 and play Dead Island 2 on it.
Can you review how is compatibility and performance when LG C1 TV and Samsung Q990B SOUNDBAR paired
I have the 65" C1 and it is the most stunning TV I've ever seen. And I got on sale for $1700. Wouldn't trade it for anything!
SNAP! Amazing isnt it. How many years can we get out of it? 3? 4? Hopefully
@@MainCave 5 hopefully
After what Samsung did to the Q95B today, I’m glad I stuck to the C1
I own a 65" C1. I can't see a reason for ever needing to upgrade from this TV until 8K becomes a thing. It's such a perfect set (for me) 🙂
You’re not wrong.
Nice vid keep up
Thanks 👍🏻
I love oled tvs I have C1 A Sony A95J an Lg G2 the G2 is my favorite but my C1 is the oldest and still looks incredible
I have 65inch cx and it's great tv. I don't ever seeing myself going back to LED tvs
Ordering one tonight after much research. Apart from hiding the taskbar etc., what settings on the actual tv itself (brightness, pixels, etc.) do you recommend to avoid burn in?
I don’t do much to stop burn in as it has things built in such as dimming. if im going to leave it I put it into “frames” mode. I setup a shortcut button so it’s easy to fire it off.
As for settings put of the box is fine for me, just set it to use Game Optimiser for playing PS5. if you want to dive deep into settings there are channels that have gone into that, but for me I’ve never needed to do that. HTH
@@MainCave Thanks. What is 'frames mode'? I'll be using this as a PC monitor for gaming and productivity.
How come your C1 remote have the NFC feature? Mine did not come with it 😭
Good to know
im saving to get one for pc gaming and netflix for my man cave, i have a very powerful gaming pc rn with 3080ti and ryzen 5800x and im sure ill be able to take and advantage of the 120 hz of 4k
I am very proud to own this tv
C1 is amazing ❤
I want C2 42 as monitor, but its so expensive. Then I purchased C1 48 instead, it feels so big after arrived. So, I using it now solely for watching anime instead. Plan to buy C2 42 after 18 months pass or the price drop below or near 1000 usd.
Own the 65 c1 this TV is the nuts, picture out of this world , good price I paid 1250 opened box , no issues what so ever
Good one.
I’m coming off my old LG plasma HD ready tv from way back in 2008😄
Which TV would you recommend I move on to next between C1 and C2.
I’m also attracted to the Samsung Neo QLED series.
Help!
(Yes I’m both a gamer and movie watcher- my living room is bright )
I’ve not used the latest QLED’s so can’t comment.
As for the C1/2 depends on budget but as I say in the video you can’t go wrong with the C1 and you’ll have some spare cash if you get that over the C2. 👍🏻
If you want to buy rn and can't wait for the drop in October. Then I'll say c1. But if you can wait till October to November then get the c2 as the price will drop. If you can wait til c3 is out then get c2 as it'll be more cheaper and most likely c2 won't drop any further down as by that point no more c2 will be made. But I'm interested to see how the c3 is next year. As c2 upgrade was very little only.
I like my C1 but I (like many) have some issues in dark scenes in TV shows/movies or games. Also, i've had instances where it gest SUPER grainy in a TV show i'm watching, to the point where a TV that costs $1000 less feels like it wouldn't show that much grain and distortion. Its only for some shows so I thought it might be the content itself, but for instance watching Daredevil on Disney + which is in Dolby Vision looks absolutely horrible! But then I go and watch Moon Knight and its looks nice, both are in Dolby Vision. So not sure whats up there.
This is my first OLED though, so my issues might be common on all OLED's and in that case, the extra money you spend for OLED's is great sometimes, but other times makes you feel like you wasted some money I guess.
Same issue with really dark scenes. I sometimes have to switch to vivid mode to up the brightness.
Is the sunlight coming from the WIndows a problem for you when you have the TV on during the day?
Not at all. 👍🏻
Waiting for Black Friday to buy one. Hoping there will be some stock left they want to get rid off
Most important: it's still a gaming 120Hz OLED with good reaction times and gaming features. And still crushing blacks little bit in some scenes.
Badass tv
My CX is honestly perfect. Can't imagine I'll need an upgrade for another 4 years minimum
Considered raising the tv (on for example an IKEA lack-shelf) so that the SONOS BEAM doesn’t block the bottom portion? I’ve seen people doing that and considering it myself. What’s your opinion?
That would look smart. If you are able to do it then go for it.
I’ve always wanted to wall mount my TV and Sonos, maybe do that at some point 👍🏻
Came here to say the same thing; doesn't that Sonos bar block the screen at the bottom? I bought an IKEA Lack shelf for a tenner to raise the TV a couple of inches over my Yamaha C20a. It's the absolute perfect size to accommodate the 65" C1 pedestal. Also, if you stick a couple of rubber feet to the underside of the shelf you can feed your cables under it, creating a very 'clean' set up.
I just bought a 48",, It's the best TV I ever owned!! (THE BEST TV ON THE PLANET!!)..
I had a a LG 55 INCH B1 and it stopped working. And I m debating getting a C1 65 INCH.
Hey!
My c1 looks bad in picture quality. Hd content, sport look blurry. 4k contet look about the same as my samsung q75a And the tv is not calibrated. Should i calibrate it?? Or maybe contact LG about a bad panel?? casue that could be the case to. :( And some apps lagg much and the tv freese on my yesterday. maybe 3 weeks old c1. And the internet not working great on it.
First thing would be to try and update the firmware. If that doesn’t help, definitely go back to where you bought it and tell them your issues 👍🏻
Check Quantum TV channel for the best C1 Settings
I have a 55ins C1 & love it. The only problem I have is, when watching Netflix, the picture can be......janky, stuttering! Only really notice when watching shows that are in 4K HDR. Anyone else have this problem??!
C2 is minimal upgrade. G2 would be worth the upgrade but I’m waiting until the A95K from Sony
Yeah 👍🏻 The G2 is even more expensive, that that will drop once the G3(?) comes out. A95K will be sweet. What size?
I have had my c1 for 2 months and now and then I get lines that show up on my screen it sometimes even freezes and I have to turn off and unplug and wait. So perhaps yours is fantastic but mine is shit when it happens and I can’t return it being 2 months old now.
can't you send pictures to the manufacturer since they give a 1 year warranty, or is that not covered?
I own a 65 inch C1 and just bought a lightly used 77 inch C1 (1000 hours) for $1500.
I own a 55 c1 & 55 cx
I love in 👍👍👍😊
after almost year of usage, im still impressed by it...you owe it to yourself to at least try it out
the c2 is just a overclocked c1
if u guys get a deal on c1 snatch them uplolol
even the 48 inch one as a tv or a pc monitor price eto performance is insane
Hey, I bought this tv at Best Buy! Should I get an extended warranty on it?I heard about burn in after 4,000 hrs of using OLEDS. The two-year warranty is $154.99 and the 5 years one is $249.99.
Its entirely up to you, but make sure if you do that burn in is covered by the warranty. Note though that this TV does all it can not stop burn with various features and after hundreds of hours on mine ive not had a thing.
What soundbar is that you are using?
👍🏻 NEW Sonos Ray. Is it THE best soundbar for the money?
czcams.com/video/OZxvi7-7-Uk/video.html
CX still working great
I only use C1 with my Ps5 I don't think there is any upgrade or benefits to upgrading to a C2.
I really need some guidance!!!
I just bought me a C1 oled but I can't seem too find 4k content, I went on CZcams and typed in 4k content videos pop up but there's no signal in the top right corner telling me it's HDR content.?
I have standard hd cables, do I need to upgrade them ?
Can someone help me out please just too put my mind at rest. 🙏
Hi there. You will need cables that can handle 4k content.
If you continually press the green button on your tv remote it will show what resolution and frame rate your tv is showing.
@@MainCave thanks so much man, I've ordered them, and David Attenborough helped me out with my 4k content lol, thank you for putting in the time too answer me back, it means a lot 🤝
Lg c1 55 inch 4k ps5 is soooo good!!!
I’ve been looking for weeks to get the 65” at the price you’ve mentioned. Not found it anywhere.
I got it from Richer Sounds in the UK. 👍🏻
They had money off and if you’re a VIP (free if you sign up to their email) you got a further £100 off.
@@MainCave that’s helpful, thanks buddy, I’ll redouble my efforts!
They seem to be getting out of stock in a lot of places now, so if you see one at a half decent price, grab it
@@MainCave it’s been a bit of a ride; but Currys have this in stock. Although it’s £1599, they have a 10% offer under code TV10 which I combined with the work voucher scheme, so that’s around 17% off. Arrives Wednesday! It’s the C16 version they’re stocking rather than C14 which I think is white but that’s good enough for me! Thanks for your help!
Can someone please help a shopkeeper was pushing me to go to sony x90k full aray tv vs C1 is it worth it considering m getting both at similar price range
I’m bias and will say C1, but both are great.
It’s definitely worth buying at the price it’s going for now it’s a good tv
Thats it. The price it has dropped to is the reason i got it. Value.
What puts me off the TV is the stand because I have a sound bar that I think would block some of the bottom of the screen.
My sonos ray doesn’t get in the way but I do have the tV slightly lower on the cabinet.
For me the C1 picture in the shops look way too cold. Is there an easy fix for that?
You can just adjust the colour temperature. Should think a shop is setup to show off clarity more than anything 👍🏻
I have the 48" model. You forgot to add that the tv on the stand will not work nicely with most soundbars due to it being to low.
Hi there. I’m not sure what it’s like for other sizes but my sonos ray doesn’t obscure the view from where I’m sat on mine fortunately.
@@MainCave glad it works out! Anything from top end Samsung and Sony will though.
great TV i just don't like the stand. especially if you want to place a sound bar in front of it its very low and the cable management is terrible they have to go from the side back like you have them...
I feel like I robbed this electronic store, I got a 55” open box C1 for $700. I was looking at TVs in that price range that were far less TV than this. I had my heart set on a Hiesense U8H 55” and found freaking OLED LG for the same price lol
My only nit pick is I’m not impress with the sound. Why can’t I mess around with the equalizer? I feel like the speakers lack depth or something, I’m looking to move my sound bar from the living room to our room.
I recommend removing the protective sheet of plastic that you still have on your unit. Dissipating heat is a factor in OLED panels in regards of its longevity, thats why newer models added a heatsink
Tip. Thanks 👍🏻
Great tip! Thanks so much!
Yes, It is recommended to remove that.. Success in your channel.
I own a c1 and a c2 and I think the c2 is a noticeable improvement. The brightness in HDR is noticeably more impactful and the interface/processing is much snappier on the c2.
you can unlock higher brightness HDR in the C1.
@@jerryx2000 how? And is it safe to do so ?
@@vityavertu526 yes disable TPC & GSR in the service menu & enable HLG. Also use the windows app to enable peak brightness.
Yes it's 100% worth it LG C1 55" compare with C2 42" at the same price!!
IKR! Always worth getting last years TV 👍🏻
Can you access and use the Google playstore?
No, just the LG apps.
Can you advise how you bought the 65 for £1299 1:01 when the price for the 65 is £1599 at the time of recording 1:52 - the price of the TV 3 months later (now) is £1499 - which is a reasonable drop from £1599 but doesn't make any sense with your claimed £1299. Can you advise where you bought and or what offer you got to get it so much cheaper? The lowest apparent price on Amazon was only £1340 which was for about a day before it was corrected
Those comparison shot were from JL website. I bought mine from RS as a UK VIP 👍🏻
@@MainCave nice one, you've done well, RS VIP price is still £1499 atm. Probably best waiting now I guess for the C2 to come in to that bracket with the C3 due.
Ah RS had money off and VIP £100 at the time. Seems to have gone up a bit everywhere. You’re right, as I say in the vid. Always worth buying last years model when this years gets released. 👍🏻
As someone who paid for a LG G1 with my own money and has used it for about 5 months now I’d say stay away from LG TV’s. Mine had a vertical line down the screen 4 months in and the display had to be replaced. This is the shortest life tv I have ever owned and there is no excuse for failures that soon.
Sorry to hear you experiencing that. I hear lg have a 5 Yr warranty. Get the tv replaced.
I got this tv from richer sounds in May paid £1349 very nice TV only annoying thing is I have my PC EVGA 3090 connected up via an Atvoiti 8k 2.1 hdmi cable from amazon Apparently it's a certified one with the scannable code icon, however when I first connected it,took hours to get 4k 120hz 10bit colour depthTben when after I switched the pc of try next day no sound after footering with the nvidia control panel got the sound working again at 4k 120hz , only to repeat the same issue.I've now resorted to 4k 60hz 8 bit colour depth that's the only way I can get sound.I trust it's a dodgy cable I'll not buy Atvoiti from amazon again absolutely rubbish

Bought my C1 in February and it's nice but I've got to say, I'm underwhelmed. Maybe I just play the wrong kind of games or was expecting too much from the picture quality on Freeview but I just haven't felt 'wowed' by anything, to date. Tbh, I kind of miss the brightness I got from my old Sony X950H.
Feel exactly the same when we are talking about games...In darker games you have shadow detail crush, and for me it is a big problem. Movies are different story (better than X950H).
@@libertalian_8415 IM debating on upgrading to the C1 oled, I have a 48 inch super UHD tv Its still going strong . I ve been using it for 3 years, and the picture is good. OLED is definitely better but it is a significant upgrade IDK if its worth spending 800 dollars .

@@mitch20003 C1 is a great tv no doubt. I was gaming on much brighter 4K tv and than bought 48 inch (console gaming) and don't know, just can't get use to darker image in games with dark enviroments, and loss of shadow details- though I haven't calibrated my C1. I saw Sony OLEDs in person with LG, tried many things and Sony is a better tv in every way, but at that timemy budget was a little short for Sony. If you are in no hurry for TV buy Sony, but you won't regret if you buy C1 (especialy for movies).
Not worth if you have a cx like me. Better to buy a samsung s95b or wait till next year lg oled c3 micro lens panels or g3.
im just worried about burn in for such an expensive price. dont feel like it will last 5 years
It has a few things built in that helps to prevent this, but we’ll see in 5 years.
@@MainCave would you still recommend. You think it can handle long binges of gaming over time
If you're place offers an extended warranty you could get that for extra comfort. I got mine at best buy and got the 4 year warranty, it was an extra $300 (tv was $2000) but for 4 years it does cover burn in, bad pixels, ghosting, etc. So at least for 4 years you know you won't get burn in (or they'll fix/replace it).
