Beautiful picture with EVERY SINGLE FEATURE YOU COULD WANT.
Should preface when I turned it on there was some texturing in the middle when all solid colors. This is somewhat normal. I did a pixel cleaning and it was 100% gone and haven’t noticed anything else. If this happens it’s alright it’s normal AND the panel does this cleaning automatically after being turned off. So you will notice if your screen has been on for a couple hours turning it off will not make the same click. It will then click off idk 20 minutes later with a little light at the bottom. Just wanted to preface with that knowledge as I feel I’m a bit more technologically inclined and was still a bit spooked by the texture. Now onto the actual tv. The panel looks perfect. HDR is really bright, colors pop, and blacks are perfect. Features include auto low latency mode meaning a pc or console connection instantly turns it to lowest latency. The input lag on this tv is lower than any panel I’ve ever used even a TN 144hz panel. Airplay 2 support means you can “cast” 1080p 60 hdr video with no loss of quality. I have to be honest even 720p video looks freaking awesome on this due to the super sampling. I personally also enjoy the interpolation this tv provides. Little to actually no artifacts with just fluid motion. Everything has worked correctly and consistently with this TV. This tv is perfect for gaming imo. Such low latency and VRR, GSync, and freesync all work correctly. No flickering, works all way down to 20hz, and even works correctly with my nividia gpu. Additionally this tv even supports Bluetooth if you want to not have the speakers going. The speakers though sound much better than I was expecting I have no desire to get any external equipment. They are very full and no mud even with super low or high frequencies. I’m not saying it’s better than a sound bar I’m just saying it’s definitely the best TV speakers I’ve ever heard. This review is a bit all round but honestly this tv is worth far more than the 1.3k I paid for the 55inch. When it came out it was high high 2k range. It has that level of quality and personally I wouldn’t even look at the c3 or g3 unless these are sold out. In short out of 100 I’d give it 100/100 this isn’t a rounding 5/5 it’s truly perfect and I have no complaints. Get it trust me you won’t be disappointed in the product.

Using this as a monitor is great
NOTE: LG recently released a firmware update to the LG C2 that substantially reduces the ABL auto-dimming! This makes it much more competitive to the PG4*UQ and other OLEDs without opening the service menu to disable those features.I hear a lot of issues people have with using a TV as a monitor, especially this one, but I haven’t had any such issues. After setting it up properly, the only problem is the RWBG subpixel layout and having to turn it on along with my computer. But as someone that grew up with CRT monitors, having to press an extra button in addition to the power button is not even the slightest bit inconvenient. The thing that really kills this as a monitor is the subpixel layout.RWBG adds noticeable fringing and bleed on text on OSes calibrated for RGB subpixels. Turning subpixel rendering compensation off makes it tolerable, but it’s still much harder to read than on a normal monitor, and some games use it regardless of OS settings with no obvious way to adjust it. For visual content like movies and games it isn’t noticeable at all, however.As long as you aren’t planning to read a whole bunch, or if you sit further back and make your text bigger so the subpixels don’t mess with the text as much, there isn’t a single issue with using this as a computer monitor.I originally purchased the PG42UQ and PG48UQ instead, and got 2 dead 42’s and one 48 that only survived for a few weeks before it spontaneously died. I’d like to compare some points on the C2 vs PG4*UQ:- The box on the C2 is thicker, the Styrofoam completely protects the screen unlike on the PG4*UQ where there are tons of gaps, the Styrofoam on the corners is also much thicker preventing drops from affecting the corners like what happened to BOTH of my PG42UQs, and the accessories and feet are placed in sane location unlike the strange Styrofoam origami that was both the PG42UQ and PG48UQ.- On both, the panel quality is fantastic. But on the C2, you can really tweak the settings until everything is perfect, especially if you have the service remote or other way to get into the service menu. This TV in particular can easily be color calibrated to make it shine in whatever environment you put it in with 22 point white balance adjustment, gamma curves, and multiple black/white level boosts and compensations.- The glossy screen is a boon as it leaves the blacks completely dark, vs. a matte screen like on the PG4*UQ where there is significant light bleed and blooming.- The C2’s panel is much thicker and doesn’t feel fragile compared to the dangerously paper-thin, basically unprotected edges on the PG4*UQ- The power button housing on the bottom doesn’t bend easily and feel like it’s going to snap off like on the PG4*UQ. It’s also much thinner and less obnoxious to look at. Man, I hate “gamer” stuff.- In general, the design on the C2 is much more sleek, simple, and modern, allowing it to fit into the room better than the eye-catching “gamer” aesthetic on the PG4*UQ.- Due to the thicker panel backplate and rear cover design, the C2 is easier to lift safely without feeling like you’re going to damage it.- All the cable managing on the C2 is in one spot on one side only, instead of top, right, and bottom.- With the right settings in Game Optimizer mode, the C2 can reach the same point-for-point performance metrics as the PG4*UQ, with only the peak brightness not being as good (but that doesn’t matter as it dips substantially for both the second a scene starts getting bright, after which the difference is negligible).- The subpixel layout on the PG4*UQ is better for reading text. This is the only praise I have for it over the C2.- The refresh rate can be overclocked on the PG4*UQ to a staggering 138Hz! Wow, how impressive. Unfortunately, the difference visually between 120Hz and 138Hz is basically nonexistent, as someone that has compared the C2 at 120Hz and PG48UQ at 138Hz. The response time is still fantastic on both units regardless of mode.Overall, highly recommend this as both a TV and a monitor. I don’t use the smart features and leave it disconnected from the network, and unlike with other smart TV platforms, the C2 doesn’t annoy you and simply lets you use it without the smart feature bloat impeding you. And if I want to consume content and use the motion smoothing etc. features, they’re there at a press of the button. I don’t think all the massive number of problems with the ASUS units make the overclocking or other small extra features worth it; and at the same time, the C2 offers some nice features of its own that the PG4*UQ doesn’t have. I would highly recommend it as a multimon replacement as I am, if you’re willing to live with the subpixel layout and having to turn the TV on and off separately to the connected PC; do note there is a Windows-only, community-maintained companion app, which I can’t use as I don’t use Windows.

Excellent OLED, but suffers from standard OLED issues.
Version: 77 inchSeller: AmazonDelivery by: NSD (more about this at the bottom)Photo 1: 68″ width. Will need large tv stand to look “right”.Photo 2: Mid-day reflection handling.Photo 3: Inputs are on the left side of the set. Thin screen, but a wider portion holds the internals.First, the product.The picture is fantastic. Viewing high bit-rate content such as Blu-rays is amazing. Ultra HD (2160p) HDR content is flawless and Full HD (1080p) SDR content is handled well. I like the upscaling of my Nvidia Shield for 1080p-> 4K upscaling over the TV’s, but most individuals will find no issues. The ability to turn off pixels for true black allows for an amazing contrast of color and blacks.This TV supports high frame rate video game consoles with up to 120 FPS and offers a variable refresh rate (VRR) for gaming that isn’t locked at a steady 120/60/30 FPS. VRR ensures that games that support it will appear smoother and free of the screen tearing that is normally associated with frame rates that don’t match the TV. For PS5 owners, this means games that support a 40 FPS mode can be fully enjoyed on this TV. For PC owners, your 60-120 FPS experience will be similar to a good monitor, plus the amazing features of a top-tier TV. Also, input latency while in game mode is untouchable by non-OLED displays.The TV speakers sound fine for daytime TV programming, but I utilize the TV’s eARC feature to send audio to my sound system. This feature works fine and is only a menu toggle away. Unfortunately, I can’t speak on the audio performance beyond this.The set handles reflections well, but that doesn’t mean they disappear. This brings me to my one issue with this set, which is an issue shared with most OLEDs. OLED does not get extremely bright. If you intend to use this set in a living room with many windows, I suggest black-out curtains for the best viewing. If you cannot control the light in your room, I recommend considering a high-end LED TV instead, as they can get much brighter than OLEDs.As for the TV’s operating system, I find the remote’s “motion as a mouse pointer” a little annoying sometimes, but hardly worth docking stars. Very usable system. The TV handles streaming 4K content from YouTube, Disney, Plex, and other services without issue. The perk of a major brand is knowing popular apps will work without a problem. This remains the case with this set.Lastly, I must discuss my delivery experience. A special freight delivery service is needed for a delivery item of this size. NSD handled fulfillment. My experience was abysmal.Delivery must be scheduled. A signature is required for delivery, and the item will be placed inside your door (allegedly). NSD was a no-call and no-show on the day of delivery, and they did not reach out to reschedule. I attempted to call NSD for rescheduling three times, was hung up on twice by their system while waiting, and the third time resulted in being told that the local office would call to reschedule. After three more days of no contact, I had to contact chat support another three times over three days, asking to be contacted to reschedule. The second chat said NSD would escalate my delivery due to a no-call no-show. The third chat let me know that had not been done but assured me that they would. The sixth time is the charm. Delivery tracking showed the TV in town for an entire week before delivery was “attempted” and another week before the company finally called to deliver (no rescheduling of delivery, just delivery with only a few minutes warning). I live on a military installation, and the delivery team said they were not able to come onto the installation. This can be the result of several things: a lie, laziness, criminal history of one or both delivery members, or drugs/weapons in the delivery vehicle. As the company did not call to reschedule, I was out of town when they called me for delivery. Fortunately, I had a coworker I trusted to accept delivery off-base and hold the TV at his home until I was able to return.As the delivery was not fulfilled by Amazon and the product itself is great, I am not deducting from my rating for this experience. However, let this be a horror story of delivery for potential buyers of the 77” version. If you have to buy online because you are rural like me, select NSD as an absolute last resort. A $2,400 purchase can be quite stressful when no one wants to talk to you about its delivery.

Best Picture on the Market
After lots of online research and in-store viewing I settled on a previous year model 77″ screen OLED, the LGC2-PUA (not for WalMart or Cosco) model. It has more features than I will regularly use and has the best features of the things I want. The newer G2 isn’t really a better product if you can get this model.I settled on this early for picture quality, but hesitated because other reviews noted the interface as difficult or annoying. Then, I discovered some online videos showing hidden menu features to simplify the display and eliminate those same annoyances that others complained about, but apparently missed the tips on. The menu does SOME self-explaining, but you will need to read about the effects if you want to go mess with a DIY calibration for your room. Default isn’t too bad, but there are lots of tweaks you can use to get the best in your home.I have 81 near-flawless hours on the set after gaining operating tips online for tweaking settings. It displays well even in moderately bright day, as long as direct sun isn’t hitting the screen, Evening viewing is quite stunning allowing a change of settings for more depth and color. The screen can be very reflective of lamps and other light sources, but we have overhead lighting so don’t have an issue there. Off-axis viewing is decent especially in the vertical as we can watch from the upstairs internal balcony. The unit has a self-cleaning feature at shutdown that refreshes pixels every few hours so that burn-in isn’t likely.Set-up was quick and we followed basic LG advice for unpacking. The stand went on easily but does require two people; one to to position & hold the screen until the through-screws can anchor the pedestal to the set. A/V connectors are placed on the side and easily accessible. Premium-capacity HDMI WILL BE a necessary expense to preserve best quality, but there are many reasonably-priced options.We route sound to wired, external speakers with a Denon AVR but the TV sound is not too bad with the AI tweaks built-in, and would work OK in a small room setting.It WAS more than I intended to spend (after the existing 2014 65″ plasma died) but has been well-worth the money in quality and performance.

Best Picture Quality in the Biz, software is ok
This really is the best picture quality in the biz. Anything better is only by a small margin in very technical ways that very few users will notice, or need very specific types of scenes in order to display their upper hand. I have a few Samsung QLED displays of varying quality and this blows them away (although Neo QLEDs are closer in match, still not that close). I was sick of inconsistent blacks, backlighting blooming, and other typical LED issues and this TV does not have any of those issues. But I left a little wanting on the software. Here’s the breakdown.Picture Quality 5/5:It’s simply the best. Viewing angles are great, contrast is great, HDR and Dolby Vision content is looks spectacular, backlighting is perfect. I had issues with all of these items on my Samsung QLEDs – the blacks and backlighting just completely drove me nuts with those, especially in dark scenes. Practically no viewing angle on a QLED, this you can look at it from 178 degrees with no color degradation. New OLEDs are pretty bright – I live near Phoenix AZ so it’s bright everyday, and this is in a North facing living room with big windows. I leave my blinds open all day in there and there are no issues with brightness. So don’t listen to people who say it’s not bright enough, unless maybe you plan on using this outside in the sun. I will say that the front is more of a reflective glossy surface, so keep in mind lights behind you that may reflect on the tv. I also thought I damaged the panel mounting it to the wall because there were a lot of vertical lines when I turned it on, especially on the left, but after running the Pixel Cleaning cycle on the OLED Panel Care menu the lines completely went away so that’s kinda cool.Software 4/5:I do like the software on Samsung better. This isn’t BAD per-say… it just isn’t great. Menus are as clean and easy as the Samsung home screen, or the mini menu that pops over the current content (I don’t think LG even has that, just goes to the main home screen). I have a Samsung frame, and that gallery software blows the LG gallery software out of the water. Also not sure you can really compare because a true gallery option isn’t really an option due to OLED burn in – you really don’t want it displaying one image all day. Alexa kinda doesn’t work as well as my Samsung as well. However, I do like that it shows as always on so that I can beam some Airplay content from my phone while the tv is off and it just turns on and goes to my selection.Remote 4/5:Eh it’s fine. I like the pointer feature, it’s better than a wii remote, but if you accidentally scroll the center button instead of click when not using the pointer it switches to pointer and that’s annoying. It’s also huge! Well, by modern standards. Apple TV remotes are small and maybe too sparse on buttons, but I like the new Samsung remotes that are slim and have the solar charger on the back. They are also bluetooth so you don’t need an IR line-of-sight to work. There are a ton of unnecessary buttons on the LG remote. They need to sexy it up and simplify the button layout and switch to BT instead of IR and that would get them back into the modern day remote.Sound 3/5:It’s fine – all modern tvs are bad cause they are so slim but this is actually ok. I use their S90QY soundbar/subwoofer so not an issue for me (separate review for that). But why would you buy this tv and go for sub-par sound? Go treat yourself to a nice hometheater, you won’t regret the addition.Aesthetics 5/5:It’s pretty sexy. People who come over always comment on how thin it is. I have it mounted to the wall with a 0.6″ thick wall mount so that’s about as close to the wall as you can get. The bezels are smaller than any other display I’ve seen. The stand it comes with is unnecessarily big and bulky in my opinion but yeah it looks better on the wall anyways. It’s definitely a statement piece in the living room.Dolby Atmos/Dolby Vision 5/5:Whenever I stream content that supports this format, it shows a little popover in the top right for a few seconds telling me that it’s using that format and my soundbar switches to the right audio profile setting over the e-Arc connection, and the content looks and sounds perfect. Feels like I have the best home theater around. You have to try hard to find it’s flaws. Best viewing experience I have ever had.Summary:Best in class viewing experience for the money. They could improve the software and remote a bit, but they aren’t unusable and just take a bit of adjusting. Definitely need a good Dolby Atmos capable sound system to really maximize the experience. LG may have finally gotten me off Samsung displays, but now Samsung is hot on their heels with new OLED panels coming out. In 2023, I’d say buy LG C2 OLED (C3 only has marginal improvements for a higher price). We’ll see who comes out on top in 2024.

Frustrating Alexa, CEC, Stutter.
For me, a TV is 50/50 picture/convenience. This is a zero on convenience. (Update 3/19/23 I’ll Never buy an LG tv again).Forget the nonsense about “oleds don’t get that bright”. People are just saying stuff that they hear the pros saying because it’s a couple hundred nits lower than an LED set. It’s plenty bright for HDR highlights and daytime viewing. I have to squint my eyes. And if you’re like most people who work a 9-5 and mostly watch tv in the evenings – you’ll find it bright enough. Come on people.Let’s start with the UGLY:CEC: NIGHTMAREI have a PS5, XBSX, Shield Pro. Whether these devices are all plugged into tv then ARC-> Yamaha receiver, -OR- everything plugged into a new Denon 760H receiver then eARC-> tv, it’s equally faulty. The tv likes to turn on my PS5 whenever I hit the input button (it shows the row of inputs first like it should, but then turns on and switches to PS5, also whenever I hit the back button from the ThinQ menu (I need to remember to hit the HOME button instead) and other odd buttons it fires up the PS5. Last night it did this when I hit the settings button ?!? Cannot get the Shield Pro to turn the tv on when it powers on. Yet, it will turn the tv on when it’s connected to my 10 year old Yamaha receiver (eARC to tv).The Universal Control Management is terrible. So much bloated crap on this TV.Auto-resume?!? Pause while watching netflix. 3 minutes later it starts playing. Watching something on plex- exit to home screen. 5 min later it switches to Plex and resumes movie.ALEXA: HORRIBLEThis has to be the WORST Alexa integration EVER. My 3 year old Sony 900h connected on day one and has been FLAWLESS. Same with my $400 TCL roku tv. I say “Alexa, turn off xxx tv” and it would work 100% of the time. NOT ON THIS TV. It took me a week to troubleshoot, uninstalling apps, reinstalling (why are there 2 different LG devices on the Alexa app?!?). I’d say it works 10% of the time. Usually it says “LG tv is not responding, please check it’s network and power connection). If I grab the LG remote and hit the Alexa button and tell it to turn off it will work. But I could obviously just hit the power button on the remote.UPDATE: try calling the Tv “tv” instead of “lg tv” . ALSO-” the tv has its own Alexa built in. Our echo dots are all named “echo” so this actually works quite well. Try calling “alexa” to the tv and issuing command. This has been working lately rather than telling my dot “echo, pause the tv”. We’ll see tomorrow. /update. (This still only works 50% of the time. Usually says ” network error”. 3/19/23)LEARNING CURVE: STEEP AFMake sure to register at AVSFORUM and read up/post your questions. The menu settings are very confusing and oddly placed. Read the manual, do your research. Go onto RTINGS.REMOTE: LOVE/HATEThe pointer wheel is kind of cool and probably quicker most of the time. It’s like using a Wii remote but far more accurate and stable. The problem is when you just want to click over and select something (by pressing the wheel in). But my finger slips and instead of pressing the wheel in it turns the wheel which brings up the pointer and takes much longer to do what I need to do. There’s also no Play/Pause button, you need to press in the wheel.I consider myself a person of average intelligence but it’s 2023 All remotes should have 3 things MANDATORY:1. ALL buttons need to light up when lifted (like the Shield remote).2. There ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to be a sliding LOCK BUTTON to prevent accidental button press (and kid mischief).3. It needs to have a remote finder. Go into the app, hit a button, the remote makes a sound.(4). It would be nice to have a few learning buttons and customizable app buttons, not just Netflix.”Gallery” feature is a missed opportunity. It only appears if you are on an external input after the device has been powered off. Or you can select the gallery app manually. Here’s a stellar idea – why not use the gallery as the screensaver instead of the ugly fireworks or clock?GAMING: SUPERBPlaying Horizon Forbidden West on PS5 at 60+ FPS in 4K is absolutely ASSAULTING on the eyes. It looks incredible! TV is responsive in regards to input lag and response time. When the tv is in GAME MODE, hitting the options button on the TV brings up the GAME menu which shows you all the gaming-related options and displays the current FPS on screen. Very nice.MOVIES: OBJECTIVENo TV is perfect. Side viewing angle is big for me. I can see the color washout sitting 12″ over on the couch while watching my Sony 900h LCD tv. Unacceptable. This TV has an AWESOME VIEWING ANGLE. Go to RTINGS to view and compare. There is no discernable color/luminance washout in any seat in my living room. You need to go off to the extreme right/left to notice it.My dvd backups played via PLEX app on TV look incredible, thanks to the rich OLED blacks. 1080p BD rips also look fantastic (compared to my LCD SONY 900h). And of course 4k content looks great. We all know about the “inky” blacks of OLED, no need to talk about it. Image quality is the best I’ve seen.STUTTER/(Judder?):This is a big one for me. During panning shots, usually when there is something tall and thin not moving on the screen there is a HORRIBLE STUTTER effect. It’s jaggy and looks like the picture can’t keep up. It’s extremely jarring and takes me right out of the experience. This is due to the extremely fast response time of OLED technology. I find it extremely undesirable and a flaw. Options to mitigate this will introduce the Soap Opera effect, which is worse IMO.SOUND OUTPUTSound on the tv is fine. The usual. Sound output via ARC/eARC will only output the basics: stereo, Atmos, Dolby Digital and (DD+) to your receiver. And there is a difference between this DD and the DD you will find on a DVD/Blu Ray. It’s a much more boring, stripped-down version (as with the Atmos I have heard) It’s a lower bitrate signal. But it will suffice if you’re going for a true 1-remote system. The TV will NOT OUTPUT DTS, DTS-MA, DD True HD via ARC/eARC. ***UPDATE: RECENT NEWS INFORMED THAT LG MIGHT START OFFERING DTS OUTPUT VIA ARC. IT’S UNSURE WHETHER THIS TV WILL RECEIVE THIS UPDATE*** Go onto RTINGS to check this info. Most TV’s these days do not support outputting hi res audio signals which is unfortunate. The Nvidia Shield Pro is the recommended set-top box if hi-res audio is important to you.webOS: fineEveryone seems to hate on the webOS. Look, they ALL have ads. I much prefer the Google Android (SONY tv, Shield) OS. But this one is fine. It offers all the apps I need: Netflix HBO MAX, Hulu, Disney +, and all the other ones, and displays them in a row at the bottom of the screen. You can easily go to what you want without looking or noticing all the other ads and crap on the tv. There is also another “ThinQ” app home screen where you can look at more crap you will probably never use. I stay away from all of this and hit my buttons very precisely otherwise one wrong move and I will launch the PS5 or some other device via CEC.HINT: If your PS5 (maybe other devices too) does turn on, hit the (…) button on the LG remote to bring up a menu where you can put the PS5 back into sleep mode.EYESIt took about 6 weeks for my eyes to adjust to this tv. Not sure of it was the detail, the brightness (it’s plenty bright for me) or the blue light – whatever – my eyes got strained. It felt like a dull pressure behind my eyeballs. I’m 43 and perhaps I have some eye issues, so this is objective. I’m sort of used to it now, however I do start to feel eye strain in excess of 2/3 hours. Sooner if gaming.BOTTOM LINE: WOULD I BUY THIS TV AGAIN?I don’t think so, especially now with other brands (SONY) offering OLED. I just don’t think I should have so much to complain about with a $2500 tv. I would expect it with HiSense, TCL, Westinghouse basement bargain garage sale tvs, but not with a top shelf LG OLED.I would NOT choose OLED if there was another tech that offered similar gaming response time, decent black levels, and NO STUTTER during panning shots. This is like right on the edge of being a deal-breaker for me.1/30/23 – I will update when/if things change. 3/19/23. I still hate this tv. Love the picture quality but just HATE the way it operates and all the shortcomings. No more LG for me.

LG makes a nice display, but a lousy TV
Yes, I didn’t give this a great rating because the engineers made way too many amateurish mistakes in the user interface. To show why is a long review …This TV lacks ATSC 3.0. In the end, I didn’t care much because when I downloaded the manual of a very popular competitor’s TV that “had” ATSC 3.0, the manual stated it wouldn’t decode the high def content! Wow–not very useful. So, I wondered how many other TVs had the same limitation that “claimed” ATSC 3.0 which is why I removed that as a requirement.I personally feel that we are approaching the point of diminishing returns on how good TV displays look. Case in point, I looked at the TVs at Walmart & Target, which cost 1/3 this one and they don’t look bad. Yes, you can see some color shifting at extreme angles, but still, not bad. As for more expensive TVs, I looked at the various reviews out there and my take is that you can measure differences in display quality amongst the ones costing more or less the same, but unless the TVs are sitting side by side, I think the display difference is barely perceptible, if at all (some reviews actually mention this). In the end, I decided to focus on the user interface of the TVs, not rely on reviewer’s measurements.Before I go into the remote and user interaction I want to discuss the poor upconversion when watching 480i TV. The jaggies are readily apparent and so bad, small text is difficult to read. It’s like all they did was double the pixels and did little interpolation. I attempted to take some pictures. One is from live TV and the other is the same program recorded (and interpolated) by my HTPC. My HTPC with 10 year old software and processor uses a very basic linear interpolation algorithm and it outperforms this TV when displaying this content.One thing I noticed when looking at the various TVs was some remotes didn’t have numbers. Wow. I’m a TV watcher. I couldn’t imagine scrolling through channels trying to get to the one I want.The remote is an RF one, but the TV does support an IR one (you lose the “mouse like cursor” and I think the “mouse wheel” though). The first thing you notice is the buttons are kind of small and close together. I have small hands, so I didn’t care.The layout is bad. They didn’t even try. No excuse–they’ve been making remotes for how many decades?? The volume up/down paddle is on the left. Below it is the home button, NOT the mute button (the mute button is in the center, where the home button should be). The “go back to previous channel” button is on the left, not on the right where the channel up/down paddle is. What this means is you’ll be looking at your remote a lot.Then you notice the various input selection “types”: up/down “paddles” for volume and channels; a ring that can be pressed up/down and maybe left/right; a mouse-like wheel; and don’t forget the “mouse cursor”. Why all of them? It’s like rather than do a quality exercise by having various people interact with it and give feedback so they could select one or two, they just used all of them. One problem is all the real estate wasted by this. The other issue is, and this is really weird: the different buttons only work in certain situations. For example, when you start typing a channel number, a list pops up with the channels it could be. You can use the ring to move the selection up/down, but NOT the mouse wheel–apparently, it’s function is (apparently only) to scroll to the next channel you are currently watching–it won’t work to move the selection up/down. And you can’t use the mouse cursor either. It’s darn right amateurish, by engineering standards. Think about using a PC/Mac app and in one spot, you had to use the up/down arrows; in another spot you use the mouse, in yet another, you used the mouse wheel. It’s maddening and makes it hard to use.The “go back” ONLY deals with TV channels. It should go back to what was previously displayed on the TV. For example, if you were watching HDMI input 3 and jumped to TV channel 3.2, pressing the “go back” button should take you back to HDMI input 3. This is nice because it’s a hack to act as a screensaver if you pause the video on an HDMI input. This display suffers from image retention, so if you get up to make popcorn, for example, you don’t want a still image. Since there’s no “screen saver” button (hint), this hack works nicely to quickly jump back and forth. My old Panasonic TV did this and I used it all the time.The cursor is nice (and it’s fun to use). The mouse wheel works pretty well. I think they found the sweet spot for how hard it is to turn and falsely turning it. However, the wheel is a selection button as well, and a couple of times when scrolling I inadvertently pushed too hard and selected something I didn’t want. Also, when scrolling through the up/down submenu for channel selection, I have hit that wheel causing a channel change that I didn’t want.The remote has a bunch of largish “quick jump” buttons on the bottom for jumping to various streaming services. However, they take up valuable real estate. I’d rather they were smaller or replaced by a row of smaller buttons you could program to the stream of choice. There’s some small colored buttons (have yet to determine their purpose) and maybe they would suffice.The RF remote has a voice input. I was looking forward to trying it out, but it only works if the TV is connected to the internet.When you power up an external device connected to HDMI, a popup appears asking if you want to go to that HDMI input. Nice, BUT, if you try to use the mouse wheel, it unselects the default “Yes”, but doesn’t select the other option (“No”). You have to use the ring for that.One last note about the RF remote. There are a lot of clones for sale here and elsewhere. Beware. Some hint they are RF remotes when they aren’t. And every non LG RF one I looked at appeared to be lacking a sticker on the back with the FCC ID. To be legal for sale/use in the U.S., each device emitting RF must have an FCC ID (that you can lookup) to verify it passed FCC tests. This is to ensure the safety of you and your neighbors. Imagine someone attached to some medical equipment that is interfered with by an illegal RF remote.UPDATE: I’ve had this awhile now. I’ve noticed glitches every now and then. Sometimes it’s slow reacting to user input. It lost track of time (was like 10 hours off). I had to uncheck “auto” and set it manually to correct it. Time will tell if it will keep track of daylight savings time for me. Lastly, I was looking at the OTA content guide (“what’s on each channel”–part of ATSC meta data). I moved the remote too quick which causes the cursor to display and then all the channel data blanked out. I had to exit out and come back in to get it to display the content.To be fair–there have been two or three updates now for this TV (yikes–why so many?!). Maybe they fixed some of the glitches I’m seeing. However, I’m not a big fan of updating–my experience says you risk breaking something.And the weird layout of the remote is still driving me nuts. I wish a 3rd party would make a remote for these TVs.

Clearly the best tv
I read and watched a lot of reviews on a variety of tvs. The C2 LG was always on a lot of lists. They were right. The colors, contrast, and highlights are all the closest to real life I’ve ever seen on a tv set. The sounds are ok, but, it’s the picture that makes the deal. All in all a great tv I genuinely approve.

Brilliant picture with depth approaching 3D
The unit was easy to connect to all our exisiting sound and CD equipment. Has every feature we need. We bought it several months ago and it has functioned perfectly.

Arrived on time and in good condition. I’m pleased
I like the fact that every review I read referred this as the TV to get for best picture and features for the price. I am glad to have been lucky enough to find one before they were all gone.

Great Quality and User Interface (UI)
After ordering the LG C2 OLED, the high definition picture quality exceeded my expectations.The TV setup for streaming services is very convenient when using a mobile device.There are so many amazing settings fit for gaming, watching movies, and for those with slow internet speeds.The remote is fantastic, it works like a normal remote and like a Wii remote that you can point on the screen to navigate. If you want, you can use your smartphone as a remote aswell.The UI is easy to navigate. I could access all the streaming platforms and other inputs without confusion.The 3D sound was impressive. The volume was on twenty five in my apartment and it was better quality and just as loud as my old sound bar from Samsung.If you are scrolling and debating on getting this product, I highly recommend this TV as it was worth the price for the all around higher quality experiences.

Great for Switch and Gamecube games
I know the consoles don’t make use of the 4k 120hz capabilities of this TV, but it genuinely makes the games look so much better. And for the occasional movie I watch with my wife, it’s been incredible! If it’s within your budget, you won’t regret it.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah
I’ve learned that buying $1500 TV’s can actually make you insane.A few years ago I bought a Samsung Q8FN. Very nice TV–but a few problems. The colors were classic Samsung. Incredibly “vibrant” and “popping”, but over-saturated. You could dial this back in settings, but not completely. Also this thing was INSANELY bright. A dark scene switching to an outdoor scene made me want to grab my sunglasses. Or the glare from open windows especially in HDR was painful. Again, not completely fixable in settings. You could severely dim the screen but then anything other than super bright scenes looked bad.So last year I got my first OLED: the Sony A80j. At first I thought it was the solution to all of my problems. Colors were WAY more realistic without even having to adjust anything. (And please shoot me if I ever get my TV calibrated). The TV had great sharpness with Sony’s awesome picture processing. And the decrease in brightness was a welcome change. Until it wasn’t. The TV is just dim and this began to bother me more and more. Even with the lights off at night it seemed a bit dim. Now you CAN set it to look bright and beautiful–for maybe five minutes. Then the TV gets super aggressive in auto-dimming. It won’t let you keep the brightness level you want! This is to protect the OLED panel from burn in, but I feel Sony takes an OVERLY cautious, conservative approach. With such a cloudy image, I almost wanted my TV to die. It was especially bad trying to watch sports. Those static images would cause auto-dimming like you can’t believe. Every game starts to look like its being played in a foggy dungeon.So I considered retreating back to LCD. The Sony x90k looked enticing. I wouldn’t need to worry about brightness and it was cheaper. But I was afraid that all the things that never bothered me about LCD before would suddenly seem unbearable after a year of watching an OLED TV. So……………….I bought this. My wallet hates me SOOOO much. But after a few days I think I might have finally found the TV of my dreams. I knew on paper this was brighter than A80j but I wasn’t sure how noticeable that would be in the real world. Online comments seemed conflicting. But it’s definitely noticeably brighter I did have to enable Peak Luminance and disable Eco and slightly lower the contrast. But now it’s plenty bright and the atuto-dimming seems far less aggressive than on the Sony.Stop reading and hit Buy Now!

Most overrated TV
I literally just bought this TV in November for about $2500 and I’m trading it in for a G2 (arguably better and technically). About $800 more for a slight upgrade.I had my hopes and expectations set way to high apparently when the picture appeared. I heard that fancy click noise after hitting power and then WTF? It did not impress me and looked just like the five year old video led I had. Another reviewer said this too, it doesn’t offer anywhere NEAR the amount of channels it should to get what you paid for. E.g this thing is an absolute beast a total monster streaming!! Even better looking on particular ones e.g HBO max and believe it or not looks best streaming on Peacock.It pops incredibly watching another on peacock. So I thought the show Superstore would put it to a good test of what it’s capable of.I felt lile I was sitting on stage watching live without the colors truly popping out. I could see people spores.If you’re looking for a TV for streaming pick this one. It’s amazing.Unfortunately this TV has way too mnay cons. The stand it comes with is a joke. If you live by yourself its fine less chance of it easily gettint knocked over and plus you’re going to want a sound bar being the volume is mediocre and good luck fitting it under the TV with 3 inches.Also it could be very complicating. I had to keep explaining what to do (tweaking the picture and how to use certain things). The magic remote is a pain in my ass. It’s annoying.I bought a TV not a Wii. Never seen nor tried gaming on this but hears its better on the Samsung but it’s all subjective remember that. Keep that in mind seeing all these positive reviews.My main suggestion is if you’re going to spend this much, maybe you can go further and try thre QD-OLED SONY 65″ (If they had the 77″ i prefer I would have chose it in a second.) So my main suggestion would be to have someone who knows what they’re doing and calibrate this TV for you so you get every cent worth it. When you spend a lot on a TV you should feel happy watching it and glad you did. That’s when you know you found a good one. So going with the G2 over the Samsung QD-OLED strictly because it only went up to 65″. Whoever makes these descions is an idiot. It appeals better to the eye at that size but once you watch TV on a 77 you won’t go back. It you’ve only had a 65 stick with it and continue to feel content rather then your eyes spoil Ober the eats foot of size.The range of sizes is a plus if you’re looking for a high-end that comes in sizes up to 97 inches.Its as wide as your cellphone. Very very skinny and gentle. The best TV for the blackness. I personally don’t know if the upgrade to a G2 is worth it but this time my expectations are low

Great PC and gaming monitor. I just wish they didn’t disable audio features for wired headphones.
The 42 inch is a great TV/monitor, and it comes with an audio jack for headphones. Unfortunately they don’t allow any audio features while using wired headphones, which makes no sense at all ( like dolby atmos works best with headphones… so why disable that? ). Also, dolby atmos and other types of dolby only seems to be available if the streaming service is using it ( I was thinking it would be like on my computer where everything I listen to is enhanced by the dolby atmos app I installed on it ). The other annoying thing is it kept turning on my PS5 when I was on the home screen for no reason at all ( had to disable on my PS5 some HDMI option to get it to stop ). There’s a lot of complaints about ads on the TV, but so far I have no idea what they are talking about, unless they mean the ads on the homescreen. The only thing that annoys me about their homescreen is I can’t seem to be able to organize my streaming apps ( which is annoying because peacock and paramount plus have to be scrolled over to find, or I have to use the mic button to run the apps, which is the much easier option ). It also comes with LG TV streaming channels and free TV shows and movies ( there doesn’t seem to be any ads for the movies, though I only watched part of Groundhog Day, but the picture quality seems really bad for a lot of their live channels ).

After the replacement it works like a dream.
*Edit to 5 star review after directly contacting Amazon and getting a very fast replacement within 2 days and them picking up the non working tv within 2 days.5-star Review- The replacement works like a dream. The video quality is amazing and everything I had hoped. While it was a bit tough figuring out turning off certain features and enhancing others to get the exact picture i wanted thats more to the fact there are so many options, sometimes even depending on the device you hook up. A must is to turn off is energy saver mode. Makes everything look too dim. With xbox series x, if you want the tv to stop randomly switching the video settings (like when hooking up headphones it switches to cinema picture settings), the only thing that stopped it for me is turning off dolby picture on the xbox itself. For whatever reason that was giving me a hard time with automatically switching my settings as it pleased.The audio is amazing too but before getting into that Ill give a more thorough review when i get more time with the tv.*Old 1 star Review for my non-working first tv- The tv had no visible external damage but as soon as i set it up, it only had audio. After hard resetting it multiple times i got the screen working for a few minutes for it to just start flickering really fast until it turned itself off.Amazon when trying to replace it on the app only gave the refund option not the replace option. The deal i got and the pay in 5 option might be gone if i return it and try rebuying it.I was waiting to review since i contacted lg directly. They were helpful and they set up a free repair and they would replace it if they couldn’t fix it……….but the repair man didn’t show up. Ill keep this review until they fix my brand new tv that i cant even use or they send me a new one. Either lg or Amazon. I dont care which. I just want a working tv. Its been a terrible last 30 days and this is just icing on the cake. I understand its probably a shipping issue of it not getting handled well, some small thing inside getting knocked loose, but it wouldn’t be as annoying if the way of getting a replacement wasn’t so convoluted.

Must have tv!
I fall in love every single day with this tv. Everything I watch on it is absolutely stunning, from cinema to old tv shows to old anime. It makes everything look great and just makes you smile the whole time! I have zero regrets buying it and would use it forever if I could!

Amazing TV, WebOS needs updating.
The picture and sound quality are mind blowing after upgrading from an 8 year old LED TV. Where the C2 lacks is the slower operating system and ads on the home screen.
Very vivid image, and very thin. Easy to mount. –

tremendous hardware, coupled with annoying software
OLED is where it’s at. And LG is the premiere OLED maker at the moment. While QD – OLED is certainly brighter, Samsung is still working its way into the market. In any case, the C2 model one for LG has improved brightness over the C1, and the C1 works well on its own. what does frustrate me with the LGOLED models is that the web OS interface is difficult to customize with very limited options and rather insistent or annoying with it pop up notifications for starters there’s an entire 77 inch menu, but the only thing I can manipulate or change about the menu is one little line of apps where I get to decide what order the apps going from left to right. I would much rather be able to create a grid with those apps so I can fit everything on one page there’s certainly enough room for this. other than frustrations with the web OS interface the only other issue over run into is LG is infrared signals seem to be universal rather than unique to each model line. So I have an LG ultra gear OLED gaming monitor for my computer in the same room as the LGOLED C2 TV. This means anytime I try to manipulate the TV with an infrared signal on a universal remote that I use to control five other pieces of equipment in the room, I’m also activating menu items on the computer screen. This is rather annoying. I understand having the same infrared signals on the same model lines, but they should be different on computer displays, because it’s perfectly reasonable to expect a computer display to be in the same room as a television. But that’s a minor inconvenience, the big annoyance is webOS and its lack of malleability.As for picture quality, the LG C2 OLED is top notch. No complaints whatsoever. I prefer to leave everything on filmmaker mode, that’s the most natural default setting. I watch all of my movies and TV in a very dark room. However, I do watch a lot of sports, and that happens in very well lit rooms, both from sunlight and overhead lighting. There is absolutely no problem seeing the screen or ambient light diminishing the picture in any way. The only issues the C1 or C2 have in relation to brightness is that at certain angles sunlight can reflect off of the screen, so if I’m looking at the screen from the left and there’s sunlight coming in from the right, I do sometimes get reflections on the highly reflective screen surface. This is an issue for just about every glass screen ever. It has nothing to do with ambient light affecting the screen or viewability. It’s more an issue of the choice about what kind of screen LG is using. What I mean by that is the ultrafine LGOLED computer monitor has a matte screen as opposed to the glossy one that most TVs have. And the matte screen drastically reduces glare. I’m not sure if pumping out QLED levels of brightness would do much to alleviate that. but that is the only possible caveat I have about brightness affecting the C2 OLED.

Exceptional TV and Impeccable Service!
I recently purchased a TV from this seller on Amazon, and I must say that the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I placed the order to the prompt delivery, everything went incredibly smoothly.First and foremost, the TV itself is a gem. The picture quality is absolutely breathtaking, with vibrant colors and crisp details that bring every scene to life. The sound quality is equally impressive, delivering a rich and immersive audio experience. I find myself completely immersed in my favorite movies and TV shows, thanks to this remarkable television.What truly sets this seller apart, though, is their exceptional customer service. Throughout the entire process, they were attentive, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. They promptly answered all my pre-purchase questions, providing detailed information and expert advice to help me make an informed decision. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident from start to finish.Furthermore, the packaging was done with utmost care and attention to detail. The TV arrived in perfect condition, securely protected against any potential damage during transit. It was evident that the seller takes great pride in their products and values the customer’s experience.I also appreciated the easy setup process. The instructions provided were clear and concise, allowing me to have the TV up and running in no time. It’s always a pleasure when a product lives up to its promises, and this TV certainly exceeded my expectations.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase from this seller on Amazon. They have proven themselves to be reliable, trustworthy, and committed to delivering an exceptional customer experience. If you’re in the market for a new TV, I highly recommend considering their offerings. I will undoubtedly turn to them for any future electronic needs. Kudos to the seller for their outstanding product and impeccable service!

The best OLED TV currently – Crystal clear & beautiful!
I’m glad I got this TV over the Frame TV – this OLED TV picture quality is so good that it reveals any less-than resolution videos stark-naked! When playing ps4 games like Spider-Man, it’s so realistic that it really immerses you and makes a difference! Though I use separate sound bar, its speakers are rather good too – no distortions and good bass too.I was worried about the finicky remote they talked about but honestly, it hasn’t been too distracting or bad. I guess I’ll find out more as I have it longer (had it only for 2.5 months so far). And I love that LG has better sync with Apple because I can finally play Apple TV right on my TV app (unlike my Samsung which I had to cast appletv.com webpage from my MacBook Pro’s Chrome browser) and do AirPlay from my iPhone 14! Lastly, the TV is so thin. (and light) yet very solidly-made… just beautiful hanging on my wall!I am impressed at the overall stride in quality that LG has made in the last 20 yrs! I heartily recommend this TV!

SETUP WAS INFURIATING
I have 2 other brand smart TVs on which I have streamed and cast from my Android phones and Windows PCs. It was very difficult getting the proprietary LG software to recognize my input when trying to link to my LAN. If that wasn’t bad enough, the remote is some new type without plyr, Pause, FF or RW buttons. You have to use some combination of movement and a “magic” disc. It just about drove me mad, trying to figure it out.Despite my distraction, I did notice the sound was strikingly better than my Samsung TV and even better than my Vizio. The picture was very good too – assuming I can figure out how nto get it to go full screen. I finally gave up and watched my Amazon Prime movie on the Samsung.I guess I need to spend some time learning the arcane LG features before I can use the TV. I enjoy the ins and outs of computer building, but right now I just want to watch TV.

Perfect picture with a few drawbacks
Let’s get this out of the way up front. You won’t find a better quality picture than the LG OLED. Why 4 stars instead of 5? There are a few picky details that you should know about before opting to purchase this 83″ beauty/beast.1. If you opt for this size, make sure you have some strong friends available to help you get it home and set up. The box it comes in is over 44″ high, 76″ long, and about 9″ deep. It weighs almost 92 pounds. If you will be negotiating any stairways with switchbacks, make sure you measure the available space first. You can cut down on the weight you will have to carry by removing the 20 pound stand, BUT…. that requires opening the box. Be advised that the 4 bands strapped around the middle of the box hold the bottom on. Once you cut those, carrying the box (sans stand) will be all but impossible. I opted to do this, and replaced the packing bands with tie down straps. You will need at least 12 foot lengths to encircle the box. Even with reduced weight, the box is very unwieldy going up stairs. And don’t even THINK about just carrying TV itself. It’s more unwieldy than the box (more later on that subject).2. Okay, you made it to the room where your new set will live. Remove the straps/bands, slit open the top, then remove the four plastic plugs on each end of the box. Voila!, you can access all packing materials. if you will be attaching the stand, it comes in 2 pieces that must be joined together first. If you have watched any videos on this process, you know that the set must be laid on its side and propped up (pillows/cushions?) to accomplish this. There is an easier way. After tipping the set over (you need help for this), pull the styrofoam blocks away from the bottom just far enough to allow the stand to be attached. Put a 3/4″ board under each block, and the bottom of the set will be high enough off the floor to allow the stand to be attached. Remove the blocks and bottom styrofoam bottom pieces, and stand the TV up.3. Whether or not you attach the stand, the set needs to be moved to its final location on a table or wall. This gets tricky. The only place you can hold the set is by its thick center section, at the bottom. DO NOT HOLD OR PUT ANY STRAIN ON THE VERY THIN SCREEN ITSELF. The easiest way to do this is to stand the set up, and get a good grip underneath, using your other hand to (gently) keep the upper screen vertical. Again. all your lifting needs to be done from underneath. You may be tempted to attach all your HDMI and other cables first. If you do, you will need a third person to hold these out of the way while you carry the TV. If you only have one helper, attach the cables later. One thing that bugs me is that the 83″ G2 set has none of the drawbacks I just outlined, being of uniform thickness throughout. It’s also $500 more for essentially the same TV.4. Assuming you now have the TV up and running, you can enjoy the stunning 4K picture. If you are using one of the onscreen apps (Netflix, Prime, etc.) you immediately notice black bars at the top and bottom of the screen on most content. Easy fix to that, right? Just change the aspect ratio in Picture Settings to 16:9. Not so fast. You will find that this option is grayed out. For some reason, LG does not have the ability to override the aspect ratio of the provider’s content. To make matters worse, when you read LG’s warnings on “burn-in”, continually watching letterboxed content is not recommended. In any case, if you want to use all 83″ of your screen, you need to watch cable. Some folks say watching HD (as opposed to 4K) content allows you to select a 16:9 aspect ratio, but I haven’t tried this.Again, the 83″ LG OLED (OLED83C2PUA) is without a doubt the best picture out there. Just be aware that there is a lot of work to be done before you can enjoy it!

Big step up from the OLED B7a, but the whole ads and data collection is concerning.
Replaced my 65″ OLED B7a from 2017 with a 77″ C2 and I’ve been running it for a week as of now. The picture quality after calibration has improved over the older model. I feel the black levels on this device are far far better than the B7a ever were, which BTW required a lot of “tinkering” to get to what the C2 did pretty much out of the box. My old OLED had no burn-in that I could see, even after 5 years of daily usage, but the older OLED panel was never as uniform in solid colors test as this panel is, not even when the B7a was new. Especially watching dark scenes now, there is no fixed pattern noise anymore.The scene motion on this TV is better what the B7a has, which was already good, but it had issues with some stuttering under certain conditions. Obviously this TV is 120hz with a 5 year newer video processing unit, so it would be expected to be a good improvement.The worst part for me during initial setup was figuring out the new WebOS UI. Coming from the older B7a WebOS, which had things in different places and required different steps to get things done was quite frustrating at first. I guess once you understand how it works its okay.After setting the TV like I wanted, I then updated the firmware and after the firmware update things didn’t work right, things like LG channels got stuck, couldn’t click out of some popups, etc, so I had to perform a factory reset, and redo the whole setup again. The TV has been running well since. So be aware that if you perform a hardware reset, chances are you might have to do a factory reset and redo all the settings.The remote internal accelerometer wasn’t calibrated somehow when I first paired it, so the pointer kept always pulling to the left on the screen. To resolve this I had to shake the remote several times until it finally became accurate. The scroll wheel feels a bit too deep this time compared to the previous magic remote from the B7a, which was way too high… guess the next TV will be at the sweet spot! :)IMO. For the price of this TV I would’ve liked some backlight on the remote too. I did miss not having a pause button on the remote like the B7a. Which was nice to pause shows without having to bring the menu and click on the pause screen button.Connectivity for DLNA worked well, the NAS and other storage stuff in my LAN was detected fine after everything was setup correctly.Mobile screen cast via Miracast, etc… worked well with all my phones/tablets that are capable of screen cast.All the basic streaming services I’ve tried worked well too.Audio from the default speakers is certainly okay for a TV, and it seems to have improved the spatial audio somehow over the older B7a. Still no match for a dedicated receiver/speakers setup, but if you don’t have one, this TV alone will be a good start.Privacy was and is still a concern for me with this TV. And let me say it loud and clear: Serving ads on a 2500 dollar TV feels quite a bit of an insult, TBF; b/c at that point why not just give the TV away for free? if you are going to soak the end user in ads, and sell their usage stats, etc at some good $$$?I believe most of the tracking, etc can be disabled by going into the agreements and disabling all the options there. For most of the basic B7a level of functionality that I wanted I only had to agree with the two first terms, so voice and all other terms are not enabled, which still is a bit of a concern to trust if a company will honor a checkbox… Also, the remote seems to have a built-in microphone, so if you are super concerned about this thing eavesdropping then you can just take the batteries out of the remote, or use an universal remote but you lose the nice mouse-like pointer. The old B7a remote doesn’t seem to offer full functionality with the C2, at least not the mouse pointer part.Overall the TV was a step up from the B7a, both in size and picture quality. Only time will tell how the TV pans out in the end, but if the B7a was an indication, working well for 5 years, I think this TV should last at least the same amount of time.

Great TV for the price
Needed to replace a relatively new Samsung Q60A QLED that was mostly fine but had annoying ghosting/black flickering during motion due to its VA display. So I’ll be making some comparisons to that TV.PROS+ I was immediately blown away by the black levels and vivid colors. I had to get used to the high contrast and pure black levels at first. My QLED didn’t get nearly this dark. Plus you could not disable Dynamic Contrast on that TV which constantly adjusts exposure between shots.+ It is nice to have a full-size remote with a bunch of dedicated buttons. My Samsung QLED remote was a solar/USB powered stick with few unlabeled buttons. Just gotta get used to the rolling Enter button.+ I use the Optical out but the built-in speakers are decent. Surprising amount of bass. The thick OLED backside can fit decently sized speakers compared to thinner LED TVs.+ I like that the bottom metal stand of the 48” C2 is so wide that it hides what’s behind the TV such as HDMI cables.CONS- Gaming/Low Latency mode is a bit dimmer compared to Standard mode, especially at 1080p with my Switch. Did not have such a low brightness level on my Samsung’s QLED display gaming mode either.- For HDR, the LG’s Dolby Vision is way more consistent between scenes than Samsung’s HDR10+, however Dolby Vision Cinema mode is calibrated way too dark and results in crushed blacks (very apparent watching House of the Dragon on HBO Max). Dolby Vision Standard or Vivid modes are the preferred HDR modes if you wanna see what’s happening during dark scenes.- The LG app availability and number of internet channels is not as good as Samsung’s. No Criterion or Shudder apps that were both available on the Samsung App Store so I’d need a separate device for those.- It radiates significantly more heat than an LED TV.- The remote control uses the same frequency as my air conditioner.

Nice TV
I did a lot of research before purchasing before deciding on this LG TV. The picture quality is excellent and the price is reasonable. The only negative is a small bug where the TV keeps saying that it has lost the ethernet connection when it has not. It reconnects but is still annoying. My understanding is this is a known issue, although a minor one.

Super Clear
I recently updated 2 16 year old Televisions in my home with the LG OLED EVO 55C2. The setting up of the TV’s was easy. Actually the taking down of the older ones and all the cabling was more difficult. Once you get to power up everything, the TV walks you through the set-up. The instructions are vague, so take your time and be patient. I would recommend looking up some youtube videos that other people have shared, very, very helpful. The product is great, with so many changes to the television experience these days, it helps having updated equipment to make it much more enjoyable.

Great picture.
Switched to LG as we are no longer buying any Samsung products. User Interface is hard to get used to after many years with Samsung (plus 70YO). And we switched from Dish satellite to Breezeline cable as we moved. So there is that…

Bad motion
I’ve had this tv tv for about a year now and love the picture quality easy to use apps, My biggest disappointment with tv given the amount of money it cost me is the fast motion is terrible on sports and car racing. I’ve tried all different settings and have gone on lone to find a fix with no luck. My Samsung tv was much better at dealing motion for half the price of this one. So if you are into sports or car racing or even some fast action movies you won’t be happy with the motion freezing and juddering. I gave 4 stars because the picture is pretty sharp.

Best looking TV I’ve ever seen
Super lightweight, super thin, base is nice. Very sleek appearance, user interface and magic remote are excellent, it was super easy to set up a Bluetooth speaker, which can be used in conjunction with the TV speaker (which is decent).Sound quality on built in speakers is clear and crisp and you could definitely manage without external speakers or a sound bar, but a good sound system will definitely improve your experience.I also liked how it automatically detected the HDMI inputs from my PS5 console and Nintendo switch and labeled them as such for easy reference. The free LG channels app is great and I enjoy watching Reuters and other channels on there.Image quality and appearance is the best of any TV I or anyone I know has ever owned, maybe the best I’ve seen. The 144hz is great, 4k games, movies, and shows look stunning with amazing contrast between blacks and bright spots in the picture. Expensive but one of my favorite purchases in years.

Excellent TV for essentially everything!
This TV is the absolute best I have ever owned, no question. It performs very well in dimly lit and brightly lit rooms. The picture is phenomenal, and I absolutely love the myriad of settings to fine-tune everything exactly how I want.I game pretty extensively, and my experience of this TV with my Playstation 5 has been excellent! It makes for a great gaming experience, can handle everything that the PS5 is capable of, and I simply love the ‘game mode’ that the TV has, complete with being able to select the type of game I am playing and it automatically adjusts several settings to match the game.A big plus for me is the screen burn prevention technology that this TV comes with. The ever so slight dimming of static displays on the screen (a HUD in virtually every game I play), and minor, periodic repositioning of those static images to help prevent screen burn are great! You legitimately don’t even notice either feature unless you are really paying attention to it, but it does enough that I have yet to have a single issue with screen burn in the last nearly 4 months of heavy gaming. The TV looks just as good right now as it did when it first came out of the box.My ONLY knock on this TV, and it is a relatively minor issue, is that is occasionally thinks I’m talking to it to issue a command when I’m simply gaming with friends. Can be a minor distraction when the prompt comes up on the screen, but it’s not a major issue. I ensured that I have the setting off that would allow for hands-free Alexa control, instead opting for it to function under the push-and-hold of the Alexa button on the remote, but somehow that doesn’t seem to stop the TV from infrequently trying to operate hands-free regardless. Again, not a huge issue, just a minor annoyance. Everything else that this TV offers far outweighs such a minor thing, so my rating remains at 5 stars.Simply put, if you want a fantastic OLED TV that definitely delivers on what it promises, the C2 is the way to go. I see that the C3 is about to launch, but the 65″ C2 at under $1700 is perfect for me. I don’t have any desire to pay $2500 for the 65″ C3 for what is very likely a minor upgrade, if any at all. I’d have to imagine the C3 might have some software and/or UI changes that may somehow improve general quality-of-life, but I find it very unlikely that the screen quality and image quality of the C3 will be any different. Short of being an 8K resolution, there’s nothing I can see where it could be improved. (8K is absolutely useless right now anyway; essentially no media content is in 8K).Perfect TV without draining your savings account! I may end up buying a second one for my bedroom, in all honesty. It’s that good.

Picture quality is Truly Amazing
I’ve been watching a hisense 1080 tv for 5 years and decided to upgrade….I hit all the sites to find out which tv was the best for the money and they all agreed that the 42” LG C2 was it and boy they weren’t wrong. It took my brain/eyes about 5/6 hours to get used to the 4K picture,coming from a low end 1080 tv with what I thought was a pretty decent picture to this LG C2 was kinda a shock to the brain system…The picture on this tv is next level amazingI bought a over the air antenna for local broad casts and living just outside the city of Boston there are plenty of channels available and this tv does not disappoint…for those of you who don’t know over the air channels are not compressed so you get a better picture than you would with a cable box and with this tv and it’s upscaling technology the pic is just amazing….I watched the US open golf tournament and was blown away at the picture quality….I can’t wait for football seasonI don’t use this tv for gaming or as a computer monitor but go to rtings.com to read there reviews on this tvthis tv’s smart platform is ok I guess but I have nothing to compare it to and it did take me some time playing with it to finally get used to it and now I’m all good with itThe speakers on the tv work for me for now,they are what they are and I’m thinking of buying a simple soundbar with available Dolby Atmos because this tv does not work with DTS audio sources but for me is not a big dealI use the 4k fire tv max stick with this tv and it works perfectly….the prime app on the tv works just fine too but I use the stickSo if you live near broadcast towers and want an amazing picture or your still watching cable,this LG C2 WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I am 150% satisfied with this purchase and the tv

Excellant TV, works great as a gaming monitor for PC
I absolutely love this TV! I bought it intending to use it as a large computer monitor, and to have an OLED at half the price of a “gaming monitor”. It works extremly well, no issues with quality. Brightness is satisfatory, although you may want to use this with window shades as it is a bit dim in full sunlight. I did have to tweak the settings to get it to behave as a monitor, since the energy saving and auto-dimming features are annoying when using this as a static display. No issues with image distortion (near the edges often times TV’s have a lense effect) even with the massive 42″. I was a bit worried this wouldn’t look good close up but at 4K (or even 1440p) there is no visable pixles or image distortion. Text even looks good despite what may people report I have had no issues that. I absolutly love the gaming mode, G-Sync works flawlessly with my nVidia card, absolutly no image tearing any more and games look georgous!

Awesome OLED TV
I keep my TV room pretty dark and this TV is so bright that I have to turn it down quite a bit. I love the blacks and the contrast. It’s way better than my previous LED TV where the blacks were really shaped of gray. This TV was worth waiting for.

Beautiful picture quality, not a fan of OS
I am delighted with the video quality of this TV. The images are incredibly vibrant, and the game mode, especially when paired with my Series X, is truly outstanding. The experience has exceeded my expectations, and I’m thoroughly impressed with this purchase.

Great overall but HDR seems lacking, some streaming apps don’t support 4k HDR
This is a great TV overall but while HDR and dolby vision is good, I expected better. Replaced 2017 LG 65B7PUA OLED with this C2 77″. That old B7 seemed to have as much as or bit more pop in HDR. Samsung QD-OLEDs on the otherhand have very impressive HDR (but no dolby vision).I’m also very disappointed that paramount plus and peacock plus apps in WebOS doesn’t do anything beyond HD SDR. Yuck. Netflix, Disney plus, Amazon ok. Got around this issue using a Google Chromecast but now I constantly get “device pairing request” but there’s no actual way to pair Chromecast with the LG TV. What a joke. My guess is it’s LG trying to get you away from using external streaming devices.Anyway, TV mostly great for all the reasons people and review sites said but I take one star away for good but not great HDR and WebOS app support.

Sharpest picture I’ve ever seen.
The TV is great right out of the box. Amazing picture. Truly. 10 starts. The only thing I did not like. Not about the TV quality or picture. But you’d think for a TV this expensive they give you more than a tiny 4 page pamphlet. With tiny print 🤣

Okay workstation, good gaming monitor, annoying TV features
First week impression: visually stunning with some annoying quirks as a computer monitor.I purchased this to replace an aging Seiki SM40UNP. I use it exclusively as a computer monitor, both for work and gaming. Visually the LG is in a different league than the Seiki. Colors are more vivid, it’s much brighter, and blacks are like a portal to the endless void. These differences were apparent before enabling HDR, and then HDR bumped up the colors and brightness even further. During HDR calibration I flinched and cursed to an empty room when it switched from black to white; it was blinding. For gaming this is good stuff. I played some games with native HDR and some games with Windows Auto HDR. I ended up disabling Auto HDR because I thought it made some games look over-saturated, but that’s probably just personal preference. Native HDR looks great.The same visual fidelity that’s great for games is a little overwhelming when using the monitor as a workstation, particularly when reading black text on a white background. Even after cranking the SDR brightness in Windows down to its lowest level, I can feel eye strain starting after just an hour of reading text. Some people have suggested that this has more to do with Windows’ HDR implementation than the monitor itself; I don’t know. Whatever the cause, I prefer the drab presentation of the Seiki monitor for reading/editing text. I’m typing this review on an old LCD monitor because it’s more comfortable than doing it on the LG.OLED protection features are also a bit annoying at times. E.g. if the TV detects that the input it’s showing is mostly unchanging, it will slowly dim the screen. Unfortunately, typing into a dark-themed text editor seems to count as “mostly unchanging”. Every 10 minutes or so I need to grab a bright window and shake it to wake the monitor from its apparent stupor. It’s like trying to keep a tired puppy awake. I disabled other features like logo dimming that seemed to be causing problems, so this whole-screen dimming is the only one that continues to irk me. I also voluntarily use a black wallpaper and configure the Windows taskbar to auto-hide to protect the panel from burn-in; make sure you know what you’re getting into if you’re going OLED for the first time.The most significant weakness of this TV is that it is… well, a TV. It’s a bad sign when you have to use a remote control to agree to a privacy policy before using a computer monitor. It’s not plug-and-play, it’s plug-and-read-reddit-thread-and-modify-dozens-of-settings-and-play. After spending a couple hours researching and fiddling with settings there are still some things I’m not happy with. For instance, the TV doesn’t enter standby the way purpose-built computer monitors do. When the computer stops sending a signal the TV takes over and shows vibrant wallpapers for a while before turning off completely, such that you have to turn on the TV again separately from waking up the computer. Maybe there’s a setting to change this – if there is, I may never find it.The final quirk is a graininess most noticeable in uniform blocks of grayish colors, which unfortunately feature prominently in many dark-themed applications. It appears to be caused by slight variation in pixel color. The grain is visible at a viewing distance of 24 inches / 60 cm, but IMO it’s only distracting if you’re closer than 18 inches / 45 cm.

Best TV on the market at this size.
For almost 10 years in my office I used a 32″ Sony that was almost $650. At the time, I could have bought a much larger TV (that may have been a match for quality / wouldn’t have fit the space) OR a much much cheaper 32″ TV (that fit the space / but didn’t have the same quality). I was willing to spend the extra money and make that tradeoff for an excellent TV that fit my office without dominating the space but still had great quality.Almost a decade later that TV was dying and I was ready for something larger. I felt like I was back in the same boat. I could get a 32-42″ 4k TV for VERY cheap, or a great larger size model with all the modern bells and whistles (OLED or full array backlighting, etc). That’s when Sony and LG both announced they would be releasing 42″ OLEDs.So I bought the cheapest TV I could and waited them out for a few month. Then I ended up trying BOTH 42″ models in my home. They both have their merits. The Sony has better sound, a way cooler and premium build – but in the most important detail for a TV (picture quality) I think the LG is a clear winner…plus it’s cheaper and has (what I think) is a better glossy vs matte screen. This is despite what you read about better “Sony Processing”. I’ve been a Sony TV owner my whole adult life – and I think the LG wins hands down. The LG POPS in a way the Sony does not.I even went out and got the 65″ for my living room for a few weeks after owning the 42″ model replacing another (10 year old) Sony.If you’re in the market for a 42″ TV get this you won’t be disappointed, I’m fairly certain it’s the best TV you can get at this size or smaller.

Good lord
Bury me with this thing.Gets extremely bright. Lots of inputs. Incredible, true rich blacks. Upscaling is surprisingly capable; can really polish a turd. It’s everything all the online hype makes it out to be. Only complaint, which is common to OLED, is that the picture leans a little towards “red”. You may have to make some minor adjustments. Built in apps work great. Magic remote is a learning experience, but it’s basically point and click. Not hard to use, just hard to feel comfortable. Really puts some fatigue in the arm and wrist, if you can believe it.Add an Apple TV and take it to the next level. Between the 2, you’ll be ruined for life.If I were stupid, and had more money than sense, I would buy the matching C2 soundbar. It’s made to mount in the spot where you remove the base for wall mounting. Documentation states it works in conjunction with (not in place of) the on board speakers to give an ultra immersive Dolby Atmos experience. I’d love to know if that’s true, but it’s hard to justify at $799 when nothing is wrong with what I already have.(Let’s be honest. My wife said ‘no’.)

Meh
The picture quality is pretty good. The only issue is that this TV crushes blacks, which is kind of the important thing on an OLED. The community is well aware of this issues, and LG is making it worse with every new update. It’s bad enough that the community recommends keeping it offline and not taking any OTA updates. I agree, as I have taken them and I would honestly return this TV if it were still in the return period on Amazon. I missed it by two days. The next awful thing about it is that it handles passthrough inputs terribly. If I turn it on, it’ll randomly turn on one of the devices (sometimes more than one) that are connected directly to it or though my receiver. That’s even the case when the device isn’t the CEC initiating device. So for instance, I may turn on the TV by turning on my Playstation 5. When I do that it might turn on my Apple TV or my bluray player with it. It’s ridiculous. LG’s software is junk. I don’t use any of the Smart TV features, and have no idea about their quality. Next, their software is terribly abrasive with their “optional” user agreements. If the TV is online and you haven’t agreed to use their smart TV features, it pops up randomly, daily to bother you to accept them. If you have the TV offline, it will still pop up a window complaining about how the TV can’t use voice control because you haven’t agreed to the agreements, even though it can’t get network access. It will never go away. Why is this a problem (besides it interrupting you randomly while you’re watching TV)? Because their software and what you’re agreeing to is absolutely insane. They want to monitor what you’re watching, collect data about everything you’re doing, share it with third parties, advertise to you based upon this, even if you don’t use their smart apps. They are monitoring your visual usage, collecting voice data, etc. It’s one of the worst agreements I’ve seen. According to previous user reports, you used to be able to optional agree to the visual snooping. Now you must agree with it to get out of the incessant user agreement popup issue. From my experience, this will be the last LG device I ever buy. This TV recently went on sale for a great price. It’s NOT worth it.

Great picture, terrible UI
The picture is outstanding! It is not as intuitive as it could be when choosing setting options and the UI is terrible. We have a FireStick 4k Max plugged in so we could use it’s home screen but the picture streaming through the TV is actually better. The cursor in the remote sometimes points where it wants to go rather than where you think you are pointing it but shaking it left to right realigns it. If it weren’t for those minor annoyances, I would have given it 5 stars.

Picture so good it changes the experience
Have wanted an LG Oled for many years. Caught this on prime day as a package with the sound bar and stand. Picture is stunning. Makes going to the theater a letdown. Blacks are really black. Sound from TV is very good and it pairs with LG earbuds perfectly, you can even pause and restart the show by tapping the earbud. Remote is easy to use and works with Alexa. Very pleased.
