The set’s native handling of motion is strong, too, so you can turn TruMotion off entirely if you don’t mind a little bit of judder to pans. Or you can try Cinema Clear, which is rather like a halfway house between Natural and Off.

This is why when you read online people refer to the TVs as only C1, because the other differences are not important. The only important bit is the model range and model year. It's not possible to buy a TV with a different region from the UK, for instance...unless you're importing it from abroad. While the LG G1, Sony A90J and Panasonic JZ1500 can go that little bit brighter [...], in isolation the C1 gets very close to that level at a lower entry point..

Conclusion

Moving to the calibrated Rec.709 colour gamut results, we can also see superb accuracy here with no major errors at all. Once again, LG has made it very easy to dial in reference levels of accuracy to the industry standards. HDR Results

Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output LG gets around this to a certain extent by using virtualisation. AI Sound Pro enlarges the soundstage and sharpens dialogue for standard content. Dolby Atmos decoding is switched in when it's detected, a virtual height channel offering faux immersion. Percentage luminance drop at 20 degree vertical angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output The stand is quite wide, but the LG CX’s overall footprint is a fair bit narrower than that of sets such as the Sony A8, which has feet at either end of its bottom panel. The CX does sit rather low, though, which could be an issue if you plan to place a soundbar in front of it. Tuner regional difference. In this case single for several Western European countries. (6 is also for different countries in Europe, but still includes UK, also single).

Video Review

Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 10% of the screen (measured in Nits) Addendum. In fact, Sony offers essentially the same TV at the same price but with catch-ups included. Why would you buy the LG? Because you like playing with your dongle?😂😂😂 Reply Users in the US will also find Hulu and Vudu in the app selection, although Vimeo is missing, while Australian buyers get the likes of Telstra TV Box Office, Foxtel and Stan. Having won over home cinema fans with its OLEDs, LG has its sights set on wooing gamers even more than previous models. The C1 has support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), NVIDIA G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync, as well as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). There’s also eARC, for routing sound out of the screen into one of the best soundbars– although bear in mind that the low stand means there's little scope to sit a soundbar in front of the panel without obscuring the screen. I am also very surprised that Whathifi did criticise LG more for their product’s serious deficiency.

Life's about more than having the latest technology. It’s about the experiences technology creates. From TVs and refrigerators to laptops and computer monitors, LG UK delivers home electronics that let you embrace life and prepare you for its greatest moments. Should you want a bigger CX model, it’s also available at 65in and 75in sizes. There’s also now a smaller model, the OLED48CX, which is in fact the world’s first 48in OLED TV. The HDMIs are better specified here than on rival TVs. For starters, they’re officially HDMI 2.1 certified, and while that isn’t the guarantee of support for all next-gen HDMI features you might expect, the CX does support those likely to be of concern for the next few years, including eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), HFR (High Frame Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).

What is the LG C1?

Available in screen sizes from 48- up to 83-inches, the LG C1 is home to LG’s entire premium feature set (with the exception of the brand’s brighter new Evo panel technology, which is reserved for the LG G1 and G2), making it as well specced as most of the best OLED TVs.

You don't get much clearance at the bottom of the screen, and all that I've seen will obscure the bottom of the screen! The C1 also delivers lovely, naturalistic HDR. Peak highlights were measured at 750 nits using the Standard image present and a 5% measurement window (better reflecting how highlights typically appear on screen). This isn’t as perky as the new 'OLED Evo' panel on the G1, but it’s not far off at all. The major image changes in the LG C1 compared to 2020's LG CX are in the processing, which uses a year's worth of advancement in so-called 'AI' enhancements, which enable the TV to recognise more specific types of scenes, and to make custom adjustments that make the images look as good as possible depending on what's being shown.While the C1 generally over delivers on the video front, its audio performance is less stand-out. The screen has volume – output is rated at 40W cumulative - and boasts Dolby Atmos decoding, but the physical speaker configuration is limited by the set’s cabinet design. Image gradations are effortless, thanks to improvements in dynamic tone mapping. We spotted fewer errant halos around high contrast highlights. Pictures look smoother, almost photographic. You stare into its images, rather than look at them. The LG C1 didn't disappoint at launch in any way –and even a year on it's a stellar OLED option to consider.
