You need to use freesync not vrr on Xbox
It’s still on sale on Amazon! Purchased last month after almost buying the newer version, reviews of the C1 saved me a lot of cash, the best gaming experience I’ve had in a long time (PS5).
Just bought the CS model which is the C1 OLED panel with the C2 processor for Black Friday. Incredibly pumped with how yours looks! Great review
Have had my 65 C1 for about 11 months now. And I swear to god, it looks better then it did when I first got it. After a bit of calibration per device and it’s HANDS DOWN the best panel I’ve ever owned. I will NEVER go back to LCD/LED panels. And will stay with LG brand, assuming they continue to put out full featured panels like this. My PS5 and accompanying 1st party studio games(TLOU, UC, HFW, and GoW) just absolutely blow me away.
You’re extreme excitement has forced me to buy me a unit!
Agree 100%
Great and honest review bud 👌🏼 I've just ordered my 77" C1, got a ridiculously good deal on it and cannot wait for it to arrive 🙌🏼
Thanks, how much did you pay and where did you buy from?
Yep, feel the same way about my c1. Glad i bought this over any lcd or led. Dark scenes of older movies are completely different than i remember due to these incredible black levels.
Scooped my 48 inch LG C1 over 4th of July weekend got $796 on Amazon, best deal ever!!!! Works amazing with the PS5, feels like a massive visual upgrade!
I was playing the last of us 2 yesterday and it’s so bright that every time Ellie was in a dark room with her flashlight on that area of the room illuminated. I’m really impressed with this tv so far
C1 OLED. Cheers for the 1 year later review. I personally found it very helpful.
Thanks
LG C1 all the way brother!! cant wait to pick mine up. Been doing a lot of tv research lately, because i want to upgrade my Sony UHD 60Hz to something optimal for the new PS5, and this LG C1 seems to do it.
❤️
Love my c1 48” for my ps5 not bothered with the c2 the brightness level is perfect for me not to bright and colours look natural
got my 65" c1 for 1600 usd here in the philippines and the performance is a huge step up from my 60" 1080p lg la6200 i had in 2013.
Wow 👌
Thanks for the review. Love the backlighting that you have. Can you link the product?
I'm so happy to order this the c1 65" version for a wonderful price of $ 1,196 can't wait!
My first oled!
I love it!
Looks like the purrrfect all around television for your uses. I see you are getting the most out of this LG c1
💯 Bro
The S95B is better.
@@CaliFinestDemon Well yeah, considering its twice the price.
just picked up the 65 inch for 1600 dollars from amazon, with 2 day delivery. Super glad I was able to jump on this before these prices end, because 2k+ for a 65 inch 2022 OLED would always remain a poor value proposition in my head with the sale prices of the C1.
upgrading from a sony nsx-46GT1 that came out around 12 years ago give or take.
My girl gifted me my c1 a year ago , hands down the best panel I have owned .
Nice one 👍
I. Have the c1 and in my opinion it's still has the best motion I have ever seen on any TV past or present
I've got the LG C1 48inch, it's replacing my Samsung KS7000 55inch as my new gaming room is small, I've had it for a month now & I'm so pleased with it, PS5 games look fantastic especially Horizon Forbidden West & Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X also look gorgeous, I managed to get it for £760
Nice one!
I did the same. Love those prime day deals!!!
Are you okay with dropping to 48?
I replaced my 55 inch Sony in my game room with the 48” C1 and wow it’s amazing. Been playing my PS5 and series x on it and I don’t regret it. Best $899 I’ve ever spent lol.
@@FredT1988 yes perfectly ok, the big TV in my new small games room was hurting my eyes after a while because I was so close to it, the 48 makes so much difference
I LOVE THIS TV :D love my c1!!!!
Just purchased the LG55CS a hybrid of the C1 and C2 for £839. Cannot wait to receive my first oled tv.
How many hours do you have on your C1? Also why does some CZcamsrs say that the C1 has NFC on the controller. I bought mine a couple of days ago and it doesn’t have that feature
C1 OLED, and that’s what I have - the 77”. It’s a marvel. Upgraded in March from the Samsung 65” KS8000, couldn’t be happier. This TV is worth every penny.
❤️
How much did you pay for it?
Ditto, I thought 77 was too big at 1st but now I love it for gaming.
CX 48 here, best display still yet to be beaten. OLED FTW
November 2022, bought 65" C1 OLED for $1600 CND. This a WOW tv. Wall mounted with LED bias lighting in a dark room. Very happy with this purchase.
I got a C1 55'' earlier this year to use on a monitor and it's been great.
We have the LG CX and C9 both great T.V.s . no burn in on either display. The only issue with either display is reflections. So be ware in a bright conditions you are going to see your smiling face looking back at you. I'd 100% recommend as long as you are not in direct sunlight. In which case just buy some crappy £300 budget special.
Hi Geek Street ! What is your color depth settings and also what is your white balance settings. Also did you calibrate hdr with hgig and then switch to DTM . Thanks 🙏🏻
I am using the LG 55 C1 :) Got it for 1060€ last week
About screen burn in, I have the Lg E6 from 2016 and I have 0 burn in. Yes you do get some image retention but that goes away pretty fast. So anyone worried over burn in just ease your mind if you're on the fence over buying an oled.
thank u !
Did you calibrate your tv? Can you share your settings ?
I’m still somewhat young 24, and I’ve purchased 3 TV on my own since I turned 17. The first tv was pretty cheap, it was a Vizio that was already used. 2nd was a Samsung UHD on Black Friday 2017, good tv but that’s all it was average. And Black Friday 2021 bought this masterpiece, and I’m thankful every time I watch it or play my ps5 on it. Can’t wait to see in another 2 or so years, on what will come out so I can purchase another banger.
I got the 65 in c1 and love playing my PS5 and Series X on it and I play the switch OLED once in a blue on it with kids looks amazing I’m skipping the C2 and waiting for the C3 next year
Im using LG C1 55" i have almost 1500h. TV is perfect working with my PC RTX 3080Ti . HDR GSYNC compatible very well. im editing videos im playing games and still perfect screen working very good
Hi mate, what is the best hdmi port to plug the Xbox series x into, also what settings do you use ?
I'm using the C9, Gonna upgrade soon :)
C1 OLED, definitely looking like the time to pull the trigger on this one finally.
❤️
How many hours have you used the tv ?
Wow bro, so good wideo, might buy it now cos good for price oled I like tomorrow it
The price has dropped so much since I bought it. Definitely worth it now!
Backlight is pretty solid. Do you have a link for that ?
Can i ask you something...i have the problem that i have in almost every game this "white fog" when the sun shines (in the game). What do i must do to have a clear picture because this "fog" is all over the picture. I have a C1 and the Series S. I play in HGIG and my calibration on the Xbox menu for HGIG is 0 800 800. This setting is correct and my tv setttings too.
Got 2 recently, a 48 just for gaming with ps5 on my cockpit and after 2 months I got a very good deal fot the 65 and replaced my unforgettable 50" panasonic plasma...
BUY THIS TV NOW! Contemplated the c2 for a while but nah get the c1 I use it for pc/ps5 gaming it’s amazing you won’t regret it!
💯
I have a 48 inch C1 in my bedroom and I love it. My only regret was not waiting to get it. I got it for $200 off last year and had I waited I would have saved money. That being said I love it. It’s great for movies , gaming on the Series X, PS5 and Switch.
Does this tv render well for SD gaming for the Switch?
@@Hodag37 It looks good to me. I’ve used it with and without the mClassic.
watching this video on the LG C1 is very nice. 👌👌👍👍
🥳
The G2 although more expensive has the Evo panel along with a heatsink which should drastically increase the lifespan.
Can you explain your best picture setting on this channel? 🙏
I got the C1 and the Series S. I play in HGIG. But like in FH5 the colours are washed out and and the contrast is not really strong. I must still find the right setting.
Great review , great TV , I bought myself one 3 months ago since the c2 came out and the price lowered . It’s the 65”.
I just have a complain . Gran turismo being my favourite game of all time , I must say that you REALLY suck at it 😂
Apart from that all good 😆 regards from London mate.
ps: “C1 OLED”
😂
I purchased the 77 inch C1 a few months back for 2399.99. Excellent tv. I owned the 65 inch GX so I already knew it would be great but it still blows me away. Gaming on a PS5 and watching dolby vision content on streaming.
Thinking about getting the 55 inch version. And i really hope your right. this will be my first upgraded tv coming from a basic 4k tv
Where did you buy it from mate? £2699 on Amazon currently :(
How deep is the stand?
Have you or anyone else noticed that if the screen is yellow, on the right side there is a vertical line of green pixels (one pixel wide), only really visible close up seeing individual pixels
EDIT - green line on right side and red line on left side (on yellow screens mainly)
I still have my old Sony 50 inch led 1080p tv. I still love it. Really reaally good screan uniformity, low input lag and just really nice picture overall. Not much blooming at all either. I feel pretty afraid to swap tbh. I hate buying new tvs. It's an anxiety affair!
I can relate
well, my philosophy is if you're still satisfied and that it's good enough, why bother?
@@Dxntoo i agree, my TV is 8 years old and still solid but if you get an OLED at a decent price I think it does make a huge difference, especially if you love movies.
I can relate. I had a Sony X850C which still serves me well and still looks great after 6 years. I upgraded to the LG C2 and while the picture quality is definitely better (especially the "inky blacks"), it isn't as revolutionary an upgrade as the hype seems to make it out to be. In fact, the main advantages of the OLED for me are the 4K/120Hz and VRR support for gaming. It really is transformative.
I had a similar tv and got the LG C1 a few months back. Seriously the difference is night and day. Best money I ever spent. Your not getting the best out of next gen games until you do.
LG C1 OLED is awesome great tv for gaming and movies I have that TV 48 inch and it's amazing
💯
i want to buy also the 48 inch C1 but im very afraid of the burn in
C1 oled ,saving for the c2 at the moment got 800 only 400 to go😁
Good video. Sounds like a good TV. I currently have a Samsung 65" curved screen TV. Can't remember the model, but it's about 4 years old. Do they make this model in a 65" version? - C1 OLED
Thanks, yes you can get this in a 65" version.
have the 2018 samsung q6fn 49" qled tv but would love the lg c1 or c2
I love my C1 😁
Hi, it is a question is there is no way to remove these ads from LG TV home screen or hide the ads and leave the screen with quick access to live channels as it was in version 5 of the Web Os
Change region to other
"C1 OLED" I own it for two weeks now and it's by far the best tv for gaming I ever owned !
❤️
Still?
@@Fake_q8account yes still
God I wish I wasn't a college student. I want this so bad and I am so tired of my Vizio with VA motion issues. Plus my work decided to cease product for the entirety of july 😭
Coming from a crappy 27” insignia This tv is the best purchase of my life !!!!!!
That's a massive step up!
My LG c1 I got 5 months ago has 3 big white spots when it’s turned off. One big one in the center of the tv. Is that the oled burn in ?
i would say burn in or just other issue....
Torn between getting the C1 or C2 on Black Friday, depends if they still have stock of the C1
O they will..im wit u brother..or at least oct...c2 ...isnt that much of a leap for the 600 price mark up..shit im still lookin for a gx or cx...frfr
Got one for 1380 open box 📦 65in great 📺
C1 ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Just purchased during prime day . Dead scared of burn in! I play a lot (around 5-6hours a day) on ps5. Should I be concerned?
No, as long as u use for different content
Gaming setup using a 2021 Samsung QN94A
I’ve never had a favorite tv until I owned the C1 👌🏽
how is the burn in
@@commendatore2516 none so far. I play games often.
SONY KDL-W9,1080p, 9 years,going strong,very very deep blacks and rich colors,so i am on the boat of just afraid to upgrade,because my tv picture quality is amazing.
the same over here, i have a kdl from 2007 and still going strong but i just want to upgrade to a 4k, but im torn between an panasonic/sony led 55 inch and the lg c1 55 inch, but im very afraid of the burn in
LG C1 is still an excellent choice especially for gaming
The game optimizer makes everything washed out tho. I still haven't found a fix for that, seems like there isn't one
@@bigmanwildin2216 really my game optimizer looks awesome 🔥💯
Does anyone have any recommendations on settings? I'm having a difficult time getting everything just right.
HDTV test is good for settings
#1 turn off energy saver
Look up darko calibration here on CZcams
Is it usable in a medium lit room?
Definitely!
Hello when i go to buy lg oled c1, its say 100hz and not 120hz i dont know why ?
Where are you buying from?
This seems like an excellent tv, I might buy this for gaming because my current one is so bad
Definitely worth it! You won’t be disappointed!
@@GeekStreet 😃
Bought a c1 55 in July 2021 and it was the best picture and sound I’ve ever seen and heard. Unfortunately broke the screen and bought a new one at end of 2021 and it’s not the same at all. Picture is much more blurry and sound is terrible. Pink/red tint viewing from angle also. Looks like I lost the tv lottery on this one.
what do you mean by "broke the screen" did you brake it yourself or did it by itself the screen?
Hi how did you hide all the cable going out from the TV into the past and Xbox?
I've cut hole behind the TV and the TV unit and put the cables through.
@@GeekStreet I still don't know how you did that as it's all very clean. Where do the cables meet inside a wall? I thought your using like Philips hub or something
@@Bro-tr2xq its a plasterboard wall so hollow behind so I just dropped the cables through hope that makes sense.
Just ordered this TV for £749, an upgrade on my Samsung LCD mainly for gaming on my PS5. Hopefully I made the right choice.
Wow what a bargin! You won't be disappointed.
im a tv guy and not a super tv guy. OLED is the best puyrchase ive made in a while. Have PS5, XSX, and PC. Use a 48 C1 on all of these using three High speed HDMIS. if ur hesistant dont be.
Nice>3
Thanks
Someone on FB Marketplace is selling one of these for $500. Is that worth it? 55-inch C1
💯
Had my c1 55 for just under a year and a single red pixel has appeared which is very irritating when the screen goes black 🙄 trying to sort it out with lg whilst the warranty is still in place
Let us know how you get on would be interesting to hear.
how is your tv now?
@commendatore2516 its fixed now it was still in its one year guarantee, so they replaced the full screen for free (UK). I have taken out additional insurance, which costs me £10 a month just incase it happens again
@@Just_Natsu. i hope you will not have new issues and stay clear of problems, i want to buy the C1 but im afraid of burn ins etc, would you recommend it me to buy and would you buy another oled in the future?
Could you pretty please tell me what DIY ambilight are u using?

I want a LG TV
C1 OLED team
❤️
In bosnia this tv is now 1200 euros , i bought c1 last yeear for 1100 euros , and for now best panel i ever have , only g3 with mla is beter
What rgb light have behind your tv?
It's this one czcams.com/video/rFR4tEoC99s/video.html
Oled looks great when they are new but after just 3 years of normal TV viewing, my LG 65E7P looks really bad with burn in and color shading. Don’t waste your money, better options out there.
i want to buy the c1 but im afraid of burn in
How do you get games to show the fps?
Press the green button on the remote 7 times fast.
The Tv of black crush...damn shame no one mentions it...took mines back fyer 2 mnths, even lifitng the black crush made the pic look horrendous...no bueno
why is it so hard to put a SOURCE button on the remote?
There is one. It's the right top button next to the nav weel part in the middle of the remote. It'll pull up all of your inputs, and will automatically switch to next active input when you press it.
I got the 55' model. I love it, but there are some downsides:
• In the Netherlands the Google home integration doesn't work.
• playing FIFA 22 (ps5) the auto brightness limiter (abl) kicks in terribly.
The tv must think the green pitch is one big static field. The screen goes from bright to dark and visa versa. Turning oled brightness down from 100 to 80 helps a little. Very annoying. Fifa is the only game where I encountered this.
• I don't like the screen protective layer on lg tv's. Making some colors look off, but only from a specific angle.
• My C1 is in a bright room. Allthough it's bright enough, I wished it would be Just a little brighter.
• reflections
Still this is the best tv I've ever owned. Especially for the 930 euro's I paid for it. Bargain. My Friends and family are astonished when they see this beauty 👍🏻😋
there is a secret menu to turn off this dimming issue, its actually absl who does that and not the abl, had the same problem on fifa and some other games, fully enjoying it now
@@RONlN_ didn't work for me man..
@@RONlN_ What did you turn off? Gs... Something?😋
@@Pekelder turn off GSR and TPC both are linked, i don't know why my previous answer got deleted
@@RONlN_ Thnx Bro, will try with the new fifa 23 👍🏻
Jep gonna use this tv until there are 8k 240fps oled tv’s
Fuken incredible
C1 OLED!
❤️
Just got a c1 65 inch for 1400$ canandian: doesn’t seem as bright as my B9 which is weird but still love it. One thing ppl never talk about is how LG built in codecs play every file you plug into it. I download 4k films and plug them in via usb and they ALL play
Screaming deal. Where did you find that?
@@FlyingThruCanyons factory direct. It’s a “refurbished” chain here in cananda. but often their stuff is simply open box not even refurbished. As far as I can tell it was never used.
Hey Mike! Are you happy with it? Do you recommend buying it from Factory Direct? I see they have some online still... Not sure if I feel comfortable buying from them....Please lemme know your thoughts. Thanks ahead of time
@@tripleplatinum2002 ive had great luck with them with tvs. I get a warranty just in case. I make them take it out of the box and I do a thorough fine comb look over the screen and I even bring a usb and do a gray screen test to check the panel for bars and inconsistency. they hate me at factory direct hahaha.
it ultimately comes down to the money. if you have the money, go with best buy or whoever 100%. if not then ive had great luck so far. I bought a b9 from them 2 yers ago that had literally 4 hours of usage. the c1 I couldn't check because with webos6 you cant you need a service menu. but still
@@mikemcmike6427 Thanks for your prompt response I think its great idea to bring a USB key and asking them to do a gray screen test. I think I might consider doing that. I Appreciate that.

C1 Oled! ;)

C1 in Germany for 899 Euros 55 Zoll, amazing price in my opionen
Now thats a bargin!
@@GeekStreet yes, in Germany we say amazing for cheep products
