Recently got the 65 inch C2. Very impressed. The picture quality is stunning 👌
I just ordered my C2! Looking forward to getting it next week.
Got this tv over Black Friday
My first oled tv and it’s awesome
I just got an LG C2 after upgrading from a Vizio MQ6. All I can say is, WOW! Such a crisp & clean picture. Especially watching stuff in 4K. Not only is there a huge difference in watching regular TV & movies but playing the PS5 on the LG C2 is a whole new level of beauty when it come to picture quality. I am really happy with this TV. I am just beginning to find everything it has to offer.
Yes 100% the C2 is one of the best all round TV's of 2022.
want to get it too. but thinking of getting an 8k tv... dont know... is 8k worth it?
@@excellins No I don't think it is, It's too expensive and when you get to high resolution like that it becomes hard to tell the difference between 4K and 8K
@@Tryzesdent thanks Man
What is your opinion after 8 months, is it good to watch sports like football?
Nice, interesting review. 👍Looking forward to seeing the comparison between 48 inch C2 and the Sony 48A90K.
The pointer to navigate is one of the selling points for me. Never drop that please LG😁
Excellent review 👌
Love your videos. How well does it integrate with the Sonos Arc? If it’s good I’ll be ordering from you again.
The larger, scoop-shaped stand on the CX and C1 supposedly works with the downward-firing speakers to deflect the sound toward the listener. I wonder if the smaller stand on the C2 has resulted in a deterioration in sound.
Wow the A75k looks fantastic! Was thinking the semigloss panel might reduce contrast and blacks but it's all still very impressive, and less reflective than the C2!
Got the CX for £1500 when the C1 was released. Unless you have these TVs side by side you wont notice the differences. OLEDS are amazing.
I did the same. I have the C1 and the CX in a second home. Both are amazing.
Would love to see it vs the A80k
My 13 year old Sony Bravia has finally packed up and I have just ordered the C2. I suspect the picture quality will be a whole new level to what I have been used to. Can't wait for it to arrive.
I am in the market for the 48 inch version. Right now I am leaning to the A90k but would love to see that comparison you talked about in the video review of the A90k from 5 months ago! and now this C2 video from 2 months ago! ha ha but I do like your review style....hurry it up will ya :)
Is the stand (55") high enough for Beam 2 if it is not wall mounted?
I bought the 42" C2 for my pc monitor. Is there a settings guide you recommend to follow? I like a vibrant crisp colorful picture, I followed one guide and it make my screen very muted so thought you might have a good recommendation.
Just got a C2 65 and now playing with settings after a firmware update. However, was welcomed this morning by a blue screen with a message saying this TV does not support HDCP on the source HDMI 2.1 port (which is Sky Q btw), which usually means the TV drops from 4K to 1080p resolution. Is that correct, and if so how can LG sell a contemporary TV at this price that does not support HDCP 2.2(?) on all its 4 HDMI 2.1 ports? Thanks for any feedback, as I am a relative newbie as far as TV tech is concerned....now thinking about returning this panel.
The C2 was my first ever oled and im very satisfied with the deep blacks and beautiful contrast. I have a dark room so the brightness of the C2 is plenty enough for me
Mine is pretty dark too, not to the extreme but my only light source is directly behind me so it just sort of lights up half the room and I also have my TV roughly 2+ meters away from me. My big concern is the reflection/gloss I've seen mentioned in several reviews. Do you have any problem with possibly seeing the light, your own head or anything else that is in your room when there are areas of your screen that are going to be very dark or in some video games pitch black?
Looking to see if I can get a new years deal on this but I want to be sure reflection isn't going to be an issue.
@@Bacbi well the reflection can be annoying if the light source is bright and directly facing the screen. But if you get good shades it helps a lot. And watch the tv with the lights off. But other than that its a beautiful tv. The glossy look makes the colors on the tv pop more
@@Bdot888 my light source is more warm than very bright and it's covered so that it just goes up. But it's literally behind my head so if it shows up on the screen that is a dealbreaker considering how much money they are asking. I use my PC hooked up to my TV so I'm not going to have the light turned off all the time.
Lg c2 42inch oled is the best tv I have. I have a Sony x900h 65 inch and that’s good too. I play my PS5 and XSX on the LG on a desk. She’s beautiful
@@rastaman7140 yeah the 48inch C2 is beautiful and was definitely worth it!
Bought an S95 Samsung only to find the panel bending and the general build quality and remote control an embarrassment, whilst Samsung’s Tizen OS is sluggish and not intuitive, so it was returned. The C2 on the other hand, a world of difference, far better build, better OS and with the right settings an incredible picture 😀 at a bargain price 😀
Oh great choice. The S95B is crap
I also just ordered a 77” C2 yesterday as I found it at a bargain price! Can’t wait to check it out!
It's bending because of the terrible design it bends because it's so thin and there is not enough material to hold it straight leading to stress points after a while it will start to bend even more, it's even worse when wall mounted because there is more stress on the tv
QD oled has a underlying issue with not have a white pixel. They use 3 pixels to make white
Which is why they are WAY more prone to burn in that Woled
I bumped into my Samsung a week after getting it and it was toast. And I mean I BARELY bumped into it. Most fragile tv I ever bought.
Please have you done a comparison between C2 and C3?
Can someone please tell me what the often-appearing "O." in front of "Picture mode" means? Can't seem to find any info about it online. Thanks ahead!
when is the lg c2 vs sony A90k review coming? im looking to buy a 42 Oled but need to make a decision soon.
Best settings for movies/games please
I’m v tempted and have been saving up for the 77” G2 unless anyone can tell me there’s a better option.
Hello i wanted to ask you is there any diffrence between these 3 models ? LG OledC22LB vs LG OLED55C2PUA vs LG OLED55C21LA? Thank you in advance!
I have the a90k could u help me with the setting for gaming on it thank u
great review what sound bar have you got connected to the LG TV?
Hey John, glad you enjoyed the video! The soundbar is the Sonos Beam
thanks mate
Recently bought a LG42C2, transitioned from a Roku LED. Not even a week in and I already love the phenomenal experience it provides. Combine it with the PS5? Match-made.
I think this is a direct competitor against the Philips 807, but Philips offers Ambilight which is a really nice feature if you're into it
Can someone help? I'll try to explain best I can. Im new to OLED, I'd like to know if you aim the pointer for e.g, too far up or too far down into the screen - is it supposed to mess up / misallign the direction of the arrow? So even when I next point it to the middle of the screen while holding remote dead straight, the arrow kinda ends up anywhere but the middle unless I turn the pointer arrow off & on again to make it normal. I hate it
How can I collaborate my c2? Is there a link I can follow ?
I got a 65" c2 for £1500 on black friday and absolutely love it. Love it even more when I seen it's gone up to 1800 after black Friday. Absolute bargain ♥️
Well played, that was one of the best deals this Black Friday 🚀
Damnnn my Samsung crystal UHD tv cost $300 you basically saved a whole TV 😅
1399 now at PRC direct
I hate how the new OS doesn’t pop up on the bottom of the screen like the old OS. That was my favorite thing EVER
Looking forward to the C2/a90k comparison.
I just notice that sales are over.
We wan't see 55" LG CS for 799 and Samsung 55" S95B for 1099 any time soon.
Got my 42” LG C2 for $899 from my local Best Buy this past Saturday (the store had ONE left and I wasn’t going to let the opportunity pass me by) and set it up myself some hours later. The 48” is maybe just a bit too big for how close I am to my TV, about 6.5’ away and the previous TV I had was 42” (a 2016 Samsung JU4200 which was only decent for input latency and response time and I could notice some of the delay for some of the games I play, but good enough for the time I had it) and the C2 is a massive upgrade in picture quality and input responsiveness over my previous TV.
IM thinking of buying the c2 but if there is a reflective issue then its out. Can anybody confirm about reflection on this tv thanks
I bought the Sony A80J a few weeks ago so watching this as a sanity check to make sure I'm not having buyer's remorse. Feeling pretty good about my decision now. Only issue I could foresee would be if I get a second 4K gaming system to compliment my current Xbox Series X, then I would have to switch out the HDMI 2.1 cable when switching consoles. Can't wait for Sony to add more HDMI 2.1 ports to match LG.
You can get an 8k/60 hdmi splitter
Finally got the c2 but could only afford a 42 inch and going from a 55 nanocell lg it takes some getting used to lol
C1 had inputs closer to the side and easily to get to but on c2 they have been pushed in,I wonder what they place the inputs way on the middle especially when you wall mount it.
This is actually a great point, lol. I own a C2 and find it pretty annoying to fit behind the tv to add/swap an HDMI input.
@@tjc20 I had to remove it from the wall mount just to assess the usb port,you can imagine the inconvenience.
Cable management. You shouldn't have to access your ports after set up and the cables are well hidden.
Always use a full motion mount just in case 🤷🏼♂️
Quick question on this - Ive noticed some of the images online for this TV have a white back and some of them have a black back - Theres no option to choose what colour back to have when purchasing so just wanted to know what colour back the TV comes in? In the UK.
You can get it in black or white. Some retailers stock both but most only the black or white so ask before buying.
Does it have a headphone jack?
Will the heatsink reduce the risk of burn in?
Only the G2 has a heatsink
can someone please review the lg pose?!
Got an S95B in the beginning, loved it, never seen anything like it but Samsung have ruined it with all the broken FW updates so I went and got the C2 77 inch for £2299 and love it, just noticed they have gone bk up to £3299 already wtf!!! Interesting to see next years offers eh.
Which looks better, the C2 or the S95B?
@@Icipher4 accuracy and better colours deffo the C2, saying that the S95 is good in extra brightness and pop. I had to mess in the service menu to bring it back so if left with the updates as is,,,, I didn't like the S95 anymore until I tweaked its brain lol. Puts the TV at risk as well. C2 is a lot brighter than I was expecting....No issues at all with it. They're both brill Tvs tbh.
@@Takeme_DCUO thanks for the feedback. So you definitely wouldn't consider the C2 to look dull by comparison when it comes to color pop and saturation?
@@Icipher4 honestly I don't have any issues with the brightness on my c2, I watch everything in cinema home, one thing I did if I'm honest was service menu, turned on the hdr module from normal to on, left the tpc and gsr thing at the bottom on. The panel stays cool and with logo dimming on high and a couple of tweaks even crummy ota sdr is pretty good. Hdr on roku is excellent. So yeah it's great for all environments. Once the contrast and brightness is set it's great 👍
Maximum bargain there for sure! 👌💯😎🌟
Picking up the lg c2 tomorrow for my ps5😊
How is it??
@@Chris-qe2dq fantastic!
@@XxHessxX7 do u see faint vertical line in the center? my c2 has it
@@DIMIX0ND no not at all. It’s literally the perfect tv, can’t go wrong with it.
Bought a C2 77" for 2500$ new and for that money its a no brainer for me
Hello! I`m considering buying the 65" lg c2, but i get confused because some stores sell C21LA and others C25LB. And the C21LA is 200e cheaper than C25LB. what is the difference between these two models and are they infact the same tv than LG C2?
Hi there, they are exactly the same panel the only difference will be that the rear of the TV will be either white or black. We would go for the cheapest option as you don't notice the colour when watching the TV.
@@smarthomesounds Thanks for the response! Today I bumped into one more model (C22LB) I assume that this is also just visual difference?
Undesisive between Sony and lg what should I do . I want a 65 inch for ps5 and movies .
I recently got a LG42C2. It’s been a phenomenal experience transitioning from a Roku LED, especially for the PS5.
Thinking about buying an OLED it's between Sony and LG
How much does this cost?? 43 inches
I’m putting money aside to buy the 42in C2 to pair up with my PS5. Going to be upgrading from a Acer Nitro VG240Y. 75hz 1080p 24” monitor. Can’t wait to see that amazing screen😤
I’m in this process right now 😅
Can’t wait to get mine in a couple weeks
@@YoungDrizzy23 hell yeah bro I got mine 2 weeks ago I fucking love it. Was like $984 at Best Buy after taxes
@@youngjesus5992 Nice, I will join in on the gaming fun soon. Debating if I want the 55 inch or 42 inch with a warranty. Btw One piece is Peak fiction
@@YoungDrizzy23 you’re god damn right bro watching one piece on this TV is fucking amazing too just saw Luffy split the sky with Kaido like half an hour ago. Amazing ass colors on the tv man 🔥🔥🔥if u got the room for a 55, get it bro. I went for the 42 cuz that’s prbbly the biggest I can go on my desk. Got too much one piece posters on my walls and shelves filled with one piece figurines 😂
which is best for gaming lg c2 or samsung 95b
C2
Which has the best picture quality for everyday media content i.e movies and tv shows/streaming also gaming on Xbox series x?, im not a competitive online gamer either, Sony A90k or LG C2?? i'm seriously stuck between these 2 tv, its my first 4K Oled and i want the best Tv for my dark bedroom 42 inch is the size choice and sony and lg are the ones im looking at for what i need, can someone help me out please??
This is a tough tough question. Both are great TV's but personally we would recommend the Sony if you watch more movies / TV but if you game more frequently & you have an Xbox the C2 is a smart choice and will save you some money.
Hope this helps.
These reviews are only as good as the person seeing one in the flesh. Go to your local electronics retailer and see one in action then buy it cheaper on line..
C2 evo vs sony A80j 55inch ? Mostly OTT and cable watch time
Personally the A80J but if you plan on gaming in the future the C2.
Getting one for my ps5 I've only been hearing good things
I switched from a Samsung 2017 TV to the LG C2. The panel is a massive improvement but I really miss the minimalist remote from Samsung.
how could anyone love the Samsung minimalist remote is a mystery to me, because I just hate it. LG controller is much better.
@@lavahorsecz I've never needed to press the number keys. I just press the home button, click over to Netflix/Prime or switch inputs to my Playstation. All the extra buttons means more mistake when pressing in the dark
@@TehListeningPost Everybody is different but I really love magic controller. No need to press anything, just using the controller as a mouse.
Is the C2 different from the C2 Evo?
55 inches and higher the ones which has an EVO panel. It's an updated OLED panel that is much brighter and has better image quality.
@@goldensperm7182 thanks man.
The G2 comes with a similar looking remote but smaller , so fits really well in the hand
Nope it's the same remote
@@henrywinters9496 oh ok. Ppl always complain it's too big but I was and still an surprise how small and compact it is. I like it
@@christianmarmol3230 Yeah I'd rather this than a large and bulky remote
remote is the big plus for me....
Anyone else have those waves at the bottom of the screen? Almost looks like little dents/waves especially at the bottom?
I’ve been watching the C1 for 2 years and have had the C2 for a month now. IMO the C1 does most things better and I wish I didn’t waste money buying the C2.
Hi there, after the new update do you still think so? Thanks
@@BrandonMarlow It’s the EVO panel itself that just doesn’t have the same mirror like reflection to the panel as previous models. I’ve been watching both but the C1 is clearly better IMO.
It’s amazing. When comparing images of Spidey standing in the forrest, with the sun behind the clouds, etc. The Sony is getting more praise, but I STILL prefer the C2’s image here. I honestly don’t give two squirts of piss, if the Sony is more color-accurate, I still think the C2 looks best, and for me it sure as heck ain’t worth the price-jump, just because there’s a “SONY” label slapped on it. In the end it all comes down to what YOUR eyes like the most, and C2 it is for me (plus you can always do some tweeking, to get the image a bit closer to what one prefers) C2 is an INCREDIBLE tv, and total “Bang for your Buck”.. Oh well :-)
Just got the c2 simple reason coming from a b9 so the c2 is a worthy upgrade for me I don’t do Sony tv’s because you have to pay more for less features like 2.1 hdmi and when it’s come to Samsung I know Samsung QD 0LED is brighter and the colours are more saturated but there updates are broken more than not and for me my c2 is more than bright enough and I’ve never watched a movie or played a game and wished I had more brightness
After watching numerous reviews and then looking at them IRL I went with the Sony 48” A90K.
I couldn’t deal with the reflective nature of the LG screen and when I saw the image on the Sony I was absolutely stunned. Another thing that pushed me to the Sony is that I’m paring it with a PS5.
Your pairing it with the PS5 and yet the LG has a faster response time.
@@liquid79 I’ve seen zero issues with response time. None.
So, yeah.
@@joetrosclair8434 glad you have no issues but you made it sound like the Sony was better because you paired it with the PS5 all the while the LG has better game performance. So, yeah
@@liquid79 the Lg does not have ‘better performance’
😂😂😂
It’s got a couple MILLISECONDS better response time. EVERY review lauds the Sony with better image processing and that fucking LG you’ve got up your ass is like a giant mirror.
@@joetrosclair8434 touchy, touchy are we! 😂 Mind you I don't own either as reviewers said it. Also, talking about image processing that's for video processing, when gaming thats set to off to help with response time. Don't start crying.
Comparison should have been in film maker mode.
Standard mode on all is not an equal comparison and nullified the results.
What’s that game called? @ 8:50
That's Riders Republic 🚲🏂
@@smarthomesounds Thanks!
The C2 OLED is truly an amazing TV but FFS can they make the remote with back lights? $3000 for a 77" TV and I get a remote I can't see in the dark! If Comcast can get lit remotes, why can't LG?
Got the C2 last week it’s fantastic I had the c8 and cx before, it’s definitely better the build is good LG have made a solid TV here, I got a great deal on it I picked it up for under £1000 die to Black Friday and a further discount with John Lewis
Haha I kept hearing 'Augee' instead of LG
Film maker mode > All
That mouse controll option is a life saver on LG man what are you even saying? I am just a little move away from what i wanna click to while you are forced to use your buttons until you are where you wanna click 🤡💀😂
Coming from an Apple TV Remote this remote is way better lol
Wii sports was great, what are you talking about
ahhh good old oleds , only good for 2-3 years than the picture gets dimmer and dimmer . just returned mine and have a store credit now , debasing to get another oled or just wait till summer and get a mini led instead that does
it lose picture quality over time .
May not be true with Evo.

DON'T BUY A SAMSUNG TV, THEY ARE CRAP
An OLED TV is only a smart choice if you prefer a dull picture with perfect blacks. I like a vibrant picture, so mini LED is the smart choice for me.
Lol, unless you live in a greenhouse why would you go for mini led? Sounds like cope to me.
the s95b does not look fake at all, it just looks too good. the c2 looks way too dim. so how could u say the c2 is more accurate? its a crappy picture. the s95b out preforms the lg c2 and the sony
