I recently purchased the LG C2 65 inch. And yep your comments on out of the box also apply to the 65 inch. But like you say engage filmmaker mode and then tweak from there and you have an absolute monster of a picture. Superb TV

[geek]

I’m new in OLEDs, I just got a C2 77” and I added an Apple TV 4K, the best combination ever, WebOS sucks and the “magic” remote is not ergonomic at all, on the other hand side, Siri Remote is light years forward. I love this combination LG.C2+AppleTV4K!!

[KS-mtlb]

I recommend using the quick access shortcuts. It saves you dealing with the ads and sluggishness of the home screen.
Also, I don't understand why people complain about brightness. I find myself turning down the brightness most of the time on my Evo panel.

[aeromaniac]

I never care for TV reviews, but somehow you guys make them so interesting. Thanks for telling a story and not just a review!

[GAZMAN]

Thanks for the in depth review. I appreciate the issue of giving us your calibration settings. Are you able to create a step by step video to teach us how to calibrate a tv diy style I like learning things and would spend the money to do it if I know what I’m doing and it isn’t ridiculous cost

[umrryan]

Good morning Andrew and Kristi. You love to see pricing getting more competitive and filling out size options in OLED. Also, I still can't stand LG remote/webOS. Add in the fact that calibration is mandatory just about kills it for me. I desperately want to see OLED be a better fit for average Joe's, I still think that we aren't quite there. Thanks for another solid, informative, and entertaining review. I especially appreciate the "don't share settings" segment.

[myt]

My understanding is that the 2022 83” models (C2 and flagship G2) have last year’s 83” EVO panels and not this year’s EX panels. That’s why I am considering the 77” G2 for my next TV, and probably why your brightness/output level is not where it should be for the current model year. To answer today’s question, I still love my Panasonic Z-series plasma swan song. What a shame that tech could not be made for higher resolutions and still be financially viable. Even at 1080p I still get compliments on how beautiful it is when people see it thanks to its amazing native contrast, and NO motion artifacts while watching sports!

[robinghosh]

A 5 second search on YouTube reveals several videos of people calibrating the C2 showing step by step. Why should it be so difficult to follow these steps to get the best results? Perhaps I am over simplifying? What am I missing?

[jordi]

I love the C2. I absolutely love this tv to death I tested every HDR levels and had it calibrated myself and there are no words to describe how gorgeous the display level is for this tv. It takes a bit of time to set the levels of detail desired to your personal liking, but after you achieved getting the settings what you want this tv will definitely make you really happy knowing you made a great investment.

I had tested the Samsung S95B which also has a gorgeous display but I noticed that there were minor issues with washed out parts of brighter images, tearing and now with the latest firmware update the image quality has sort of downgraded a bit. There are cases with quality control issues of the tv being bent on the upper frame area.

[fa]

The comments about not publishing your settings are self-serving and border on absurd. Actionable? TV settings? C'mon man. If this TV is so bad out of the box, your settings are guaranteed to help (even given panel variation). Further, you could define an 80% solution -- IOW, do these things for sure.... Ultimately, your decision not to provide the settings is, of course, your right. We viewers are owed nothing...and you are providing great free content. Many thanks for that. But your stated rationale is over-the-top. Perhaps better to just say nothing.

I saw the LG TV today - it looks REAL - I took a picture off the screen it was AMAZING - I agree with you - #1 TV 2022

[Lgnd]

Another great review, guys.

Achilles heel of oleds has never been the size. The 77” has been out for years. It’s been it’s brightness. Which is why the QDOLED was introduced.
That said, the LG C series provides the best value - performance. Jumping from 77 to 83 though, from prices I’ve seen, is not worth it.

[lok]

I have the77 inch C2. I bought it because it is pretty much a huge computer monitor for video games. Under 5ms input lag, 120hz, gsync.

[videobandit]

Happy happy joy joy!! You guys did an LG OLED review!!! I have the 55” LG C1 and a 65” Sony A80J. I picked up the Sony 2 months ago for $.1599. My living room is smaller (as is my budget limit) than your room so if works for me. Neither are calibrated but I searched many hours on each for the best out of the. Box settings I could find. I agree with you that both would probably be better with calibration but like you said those that can do it are far and few between. Value Electronics out of NY will do it for you before shipping but I really don’t like getting an OLED off a truck. Just me. I also agree with you both that A: these higher level TV’s should be set closer to calibrated at the manufacturer or B: have the same calibration tools that the ones who currently use a smart phone to calibrate them. Again thanks for the LG OLED review!! Andrew and Kristi if you are ever in PA bring your equipment and calibrate the hell out of my 2 OLEDs!!! LOL.

[rufdymond]

This is a good point on calibration….most of us, me included do not have access to a calibrator. I live in the U.K. and as such I’m fortunate enough to still be able to buy Panasonic TVs. I’ve just ordered a 65” Panasonic LZ2000.

That TV was on a shortlist of two along with the Sony A95K - what I will say is that the Panasonic had the best, most natural out of the box picture I’ve ever seen on a TV, it’s a fantastic set. The Sony had some great attributes but at £700 more for the same size, it just wasn’t worth the extra cost….

[syanhc]

Thank you guys. I basically smiled all through this video. And then, I smiled again.

[bearclaw]

I have a C1 and an A80J. The most important difference between them is that the Sony always looks great without adjusting anything. Yes, you can tweak and improve the image but it always seems to be right in the ballpark and adjustments are not necessary. The LG on the other hand always needs extensive adjusting every time you switch content and even then often looks incorrect. The Sony has better motion and better color gradation as well. If you are a videophile, go Sony. Unfortunately this year Sony isn't really making any compelling large OLED's (the a80k is actually a step back in brightness from the A80J). This year the C2 is probably your best bet for a large OLED if you are willing to calibrate it. As for me, I'm waiting a year or two for Sony to launch a reasonably priced large OLED. I just love how you can turn on a Sony and not have to dive into the menus for it to look amazing -and they certainly do!

[toddv]

I got my C1-77" about a month ago for a crazy good price, to replace my perfectly good working 14 yr old Panasonic plasma. I've had no regrets, love this OLED and
4K movies.... I originally wanted the Sony A80J-77", but the LG's price was lower by 1K & the LG was in stock, Sony wasnt!

Paired with my RZ50 in a 7.1.2 setup, Life is Good...

[jayshah]

I get why you don't share the calibration settings (you explained it well) but do you have a link or video on how to calibrate it for those with the patience and potential capability to calibrate it? Also this review was awesome, thank you!
