Hey everyone! I know you’re all excited for the review. It’s in the van, as they say. Probably going to have to do two reviews on this, with a super deep dive in the second. That sound interesting. Also, there are no front-facing bezels on this TV, just a black matrix section of the screen. So, it appears to have a border, but it isn’t bezel trim implementation.

I splurged on the c2 65" and I must say, even not being a TV guy, I find myself watching a lot more TV now as it's twice as entertaining as before on this beauty. There's no complaints, other than being a bit pricey. You definitely get what you pay for. Just don't tell your family what you paid for it!

still rocking my lg b8 for over the past 3 years. such a amazing tv

So I just made a splurge on the C2 and I’m a C1 owner. We just moved into a new home and once we got our living room set up the 65” C1 felt smaller because of the layout. I kept telling my wife I felt we should upgrade to a larger model and I was fine staying with the C1 if needed. But today the prices dropped back down to Black Friday prices on the C2 models and I was able to get a 77” model. A friend of mine wanted to get a C1 and said he’d buy my 65” model off of me and which is the main reason I’m upgrading. Can’t wait to see the 77” set up in my living room.

This channel has quickly become one of my favorites! These tv reviews are great!

Just got a C1 65" for $1700! No regrets!

I got the LG C1 OLED 55-inch (largest that I can get in my room). I absolutely love it. My first Smart TV and coming from a 42-inch Samsung which was the last of the Plasma series and I had that one for 9 years, it is still going strong, but I just wanted a Smart TV that was also larger. This TV is such a pleasure. I ordered it at Best Buy along with a Rocket Fish expandable mount, that I also love, as I can angle it in various positions and pull it away from the wall if I need to access the ports on the back. Best Buy delivered and set up the mount and the TV after taking down the one that I had and gave to my nephew who didn't have a TV.
It is so thin, and has 4 HGTV ports, and 3 USB ports. I have plugged in my Laptop and Mac Book Pro with another HDMI cable.

Just bought my C1 last year, but its good seeing LG keep producing quality. So far I absolutely LOVE my C1 and its good to see that, so far, I can return to the brand when I'm ready for my next one.

I'm curious if the C2 will do well over time considering the changes in materials.

[Htman]

The C2’s picture quality is so good that I get scared sometimes when I’m watching it. What a TV !!!

[nealbethune]

Bought 7 weeks ago. LG C2 65inch OLED in early Jan 2023. Best tv ever. Perfect for movies & high quality tv series. I come from a television production background so I was looking for perfect reproduction of what the creatives intended and LG C2 does this!!! 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.

Caleb deserves a million subscribers. Just tell a friend to tell a friend this is the best channel.

[jcsaved]

Thanks Caleb! Great job as always. How does the C2 look without professional calibration? Is it pretty accurate out of the box? Also, would love to see a C2 vs C1 comparison...is it worth the extra $$$?

[Burresweden]

Would like to see a comparison between C2 and C1

[clurkroberts]

I have loved my lg oled, going on 5 years. Lg interface and remote is amazing. I now want a C2

[craigc]

So most reviews I’m seeing are comparing 2022 models with the 2021’s of the same category. I’d like to see a comparison between the LG C2 and last 2021 LG G1. Thx

[kovurt]

Great review! I picked up the 55inch C1 I couldn’t justify the extra 700 for the 55inch C2 just for subtle upgrades.

[WethepeopleFreedom]

I just received my C2 first Oled . The hdr vision content looks amazing. The regular Tv content on YouTube tv not so good unless the channel is 1080p. I’m coming from the Samsung Q80t which was pretty solid all around.

[JamesOKeefe-US]

I just got mine! This is because of you Caleb. I appreciate everything you do!!

[julians]

... did I just watch a hype video for a TV review!?! And why and I pounding on my chest right now!!!
