Got the C2 this past weekend and its my first oled. Everything looks beautiful and the inky blacks look amazing. When i rewatch shows and movies from the past its like im watching a totally different show. I rewatched The Batman and the dark scenes and the bright highlights look amazing. This tv was a worthy purchase and I plan to keep it for a long time!

Bought 7 weeks ago. LG C2 65inch OLED in early Jan 2023. Best tv ever. Perfect for movies & high quality tv series. Works well in a moderately bright room. Coupled with a good surround sound system (5.1 AV receiver) and you don’t get a better experience. I couldn’t be happier.

I got a C1 just at the start of the C2. It is fantastic 77". Being older I don't think my eyes would really notice the difference in the slight upgrade, and I am really happy with what I have.

I traded in my 77" C1 for the C2 (within return window) and I can tell you, for me at least, that the difference is everything you stated. I absolutely LOVE my new TV! I always appreciate your comments and reviews.

I got the 83" a few days ago. Goes up on the wall on Thursday. I'm blown away with this display!

I just got the 77" C2 as a step up from 75" LED 4k Samsung (that had vertical lines) and it was a solid step up. I'm still in the "constantly tweeking the picture" phase of ownership so I haven't fully settled in yet, but I'm working on it. Oled reminds me of the rich plasma tv's from the olden times.

I decided to go for the 65-inch C2 this year. Was going to get a QD-OLED, but Samsung’s inaccuracies and Sony’s lack of gaming features pushed me to LG for at least another 2-3 years. Then I’ll see where QD-OLEDs are at. Very excited for that tech.

I have two Lg C1s… used them for gaming on ps5. What a joy !!!! Colors just pop !!!

I just got the LG C2 55 and it s a fantastic TV. Only two issues I would improve upon would be the WEB OS 22. My LG B8 had a simple app pop up bar. Also the remote I wish was at least back lit. Picture is amazing during gaming and watching sports. I play on Series X. Only issue with Series X I’m having is I can’t play any 4k movies on Disc because of HDCP rights management do to the Series X. MS needs to address this issue. Good review.

Got a 65 inch c2 in my living room. Movies are sooo crispy and gaming on it is buttery and visually stunning! Absolutly worth every penny! Got it for 1400 working for best buy 🙏

Would love to see a comparison between this and the S95b. I'm leaning the the Samsung, but the reviews of this are incredible, so a direct comparison would be great.

[DangiloHankerson]

Got this tv in 2022. Still amazes me and when I invite people over they’re amazed every time haha the picture is great, gaming even better. Playing Horizon Burning Shores on it now

Really enjoying your content! I just purchased a LG G1 and though I think the picture is terrific from 4K streaming services, PS5, Xbox Series X and even YouTube, my Spectrum Cable picture is horrible. I had the Samsung Q8F and the cable picture was much better. Should I exchange it for the C2 with the better processor? Would you recommend the Samsung QN90B or S95B for better upscaling? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Oh man, just got this bad boy delivered and mounted on Sunday. I am beyond blown away.

The C1 OLED has an outstanding image quality, and is definitely underrated.
The perfect screen uniformity and blacks levels makes it really stand out from most TV’s, at a really affordable price tag.
Also, the C1 has around the same brightness than the C2 in SDR, which is the content that most people will watch more often.
HDR content looks stunning with vibrant colors, could be little brighter for HDR but you won’t really feel like you need it.
The C1 has an incredible value, you can get a 65’ at an affordable price tag, it’s a really gorgeous TV.

I love the numbers for nit nerds. Thanks for the killer review as always. Looking forward to your comparisons. I've been looking forward to this one for a while.

I own the 42inch C2 for pc monitor use. It truly is amazing and 4k @42 inches is very pleasing for pixel density.

[constantdoodle]

Just ordered one off Amazon from listening to your multiple reviews on it. Hope it's worth it.

[Bmanhp]

Thanks for the review.

It's looking like a tough competition this year between the C2, S95B, A80K, and A90J. Lots of great options, I am having a hard time deciding what to upgrade to, lol.

I bought 83in c1 January 22. 6mos later a black line showed up in center of TV. Called LG, & they cut me a check for a new 83 C2. So consider their strong customer service! They stand behind the products you shell out money on.
