As is the norm for LG’s OLEDs, the 2020 range consists of a number of models, with all except the B-series (this year, that’s the BX) having the same panel and processing tech. The only differences are the styling and the sound system. That means this 48in TV gives you the full 4K flagship experience at a smaller size. This is not a downgraded flagship TV – it’s a downsized flagship TV. It has the same brilliant picture quality and feature set of LG’s flagship OLEDs in a smaller, more manageable form, and that’s cause for celebration. These include eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). Those last two are specifically for gamers, with ALLM ensuring the TV’s low-lag Game mode is automatically selected when a compatible console is connected, and VRR dynamically matching the TV’s refresh rate to the frame rate being output by a console.

Cinema HDR, Dolby Vision IQ, Filmmaker Mode, High Dynamic Range 10 Pro (HDR10 Pro), Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) It’s expensive for a TV this size, but if you’re looking for the best sub-50in TV you can currently buy, this is it.The audio performance of LG’s C-series has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. Gone is the muddy fudge of rear-firing speakers in favour of a 2.2ch 40W set-up on the bottom edge of the TV. It’s a similar arrangement to the CX-range from 2020 but a different presentation. Clarity seems to be the watchword for this year and that feels like the right decision, even if that means sacrificing a sense of impact here and there.

The main difference this year is that a few buttons have been dropped, allowing for the addition of direct access to Rakuten TV and Disney Plus, along with activation buttons for built-in Alexa and Google assistants. There’s also a microphone for voice interaction and a newly added NFC tag. LG C1 OLED review: Smart TV platform It’s the gaming features that will doubtless be the biggest draw for many, though. All four of the HDMI 2.1 ports are rated at 40Gbps and are capable of 4K@120Hz, VRR (in all current formats) and ALLM. Input lag, meanwhile, is less than 13ms. eARC is supported, too.

In the UK, Now TV and Sky Store are present, but BT Sport is not, and users in the US will find Hulu and Vudu in the app selection, but not Vimeo. As you might expect, the OLED48CX looks like a mini OLED55CX. Perhaps disappointingly, that means it also looks like last year’s C9: LG has chosen not to alter the appearance of its C-series between the 2019 and 2020 generations. modes (Vivid, Standard, Eco, Cinema, Sports, Game, Filmmaker, (ISF)Expert(Bright Room), (ISF)Expert(Dark Room)) I was very surprised and disappointed to read that this TV does not support the standard suite of catch-up apps. As far as I'm concerned this would be a show stopper. I cannot comprehend any manufacturer these days, introducing a new model without this facility. The review made no mention of any intention by LG to correct this error via a future software update. NHK said:4K is just pixel resolution, and yes beyond a certain viewing distance a smaller screen may not yield much improvement here over HD. But HDR and dynamic metadata (which are common in 4K formats like DV etc) mean smaller sized 4k screens still produce a picture with a deeper and more realistic contrast ratio than a similarly sized HD screen. You could argue in fact that a smaller screen’s increased pixel density gives it the advantage here over biggerTVs.And you could sit closer and thus benefit from the improved image.

The TV will not have been used for any longer then 28 days from new and will have very low hours usage on the panel.

But you knew that, right? Verdict Filmmaker Mode is the most accurate picture setting out of the box, although it uses a peak brightness of 100cd/m², which is meant to replicate a professional monitor in a dimly lit grading suite. For a normal living room, the brighter ISF settings may be preferable and are equally as accurate – just remember to turn the TruMotion setting off for movies.

Display Colour Gamut Volume (CGV) is equivalent or exceeds the CGV of the DCI-P3 colour space as verified independently by Intertek. You can fix these slight imperfections by switching TruMotion off entirely. This allows a bit of judder and blur in, but many will find this unprocessed motion to be preferable. Alternatively, there’s the Cinema Clear option, which offers a little of the sharpening and smoothing of Natural but with a little less shimmer. It’s worth firing up a particularly challenging film, such as 1917 or Blade Runner 2049, and trying these three TruMotion modes to establish which best suits your taste. It’s equally impressive as we head inside Ego’s craft. The sculpted white curves of the egg-shaped vessel’s interior look wonderfully three-dimensional so long as you don’t get drunk on the punch power that’s available with the contrast enhancer. With Peak Brightness on High and the HDR Tone Mapping filter at work, the picture finds an excellent balance between dynamism and subtlety.I then tried a Sony 55” A8 in-store with all motion processing off and motion was rougher with panning shots but more natural overall. This suggests LG in their wisdom don’t let you defeat as much motion processing as Sony and What Hi Fi do give Sony the edge here. The effect for me was so bad with the LG I was ‘seeing’ the acting, the magic had gone. YMMV
