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.
@@Bdot888 brightness default is %50, %80 is too much, so brightness is low??? %60-65 must be enough, can %80 brightness handle Contrast problem? Too much white tone at backgroud maybe?
Any Feedback after 1 year of use? I'm thinking of getting an OLED and the C2 is heavily discounted Right now. Do you have any image retention or Burn in?
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.
The C1 is still plenty amazing! You arent missing out much with the C2. LG makes amazing oleds and im excited to see the evolution of oleds in the next 5 years!
I don’t think there is any noticeable difference, have seen these panels side by side on some sites and apart from the WebOS loading faster, there is no benefit.

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.
Keep the receipt for that C2 because once you’ve seen QD OLED there is no going back. The S95B I picked up this weekend made my LG C9 look dead and lifeless by comparison. I haven’t seen the C2 in person but 20 to 30% increase in brightness can’t save LG this year or the next. QD OLED is next level.
@@mrnyceguy24 yeahh the c2 is basically the same as the c1 soo I wouldn't get it and get the Samsung s95b vuz it completely destroyed any TV thats ever made and that is mo exaggeration
Got a 65" C1 for $1600 new so no way the C2 (I've looked at them in person as well) is worth the extra $900 I have my C1 in a completely dark room and it is too bright sometimes, don't really need the higher peak. And the C1 has better black frame insertion options for gaming than the C2 does, but C2 does have better banding and AI image correction
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.
Oled reminds me of the Pioneer Kuro deep blacks we used to get, I sold my Pioneer to my friend, and still cannot believe how good that TV is, connected to Sky Q it’s picture is totally awesome.
The C2 is a bit of a untamed beast, the screen settings once you manage to get them how you want them are incredible, I prefer the Panasonic menu for setting up, but have not had to change any settings on my 65 C2 for about a week now, I am happy.
just turn off everything, all the AI crap, cinematic movement, sharpness etc and stay in Filmamker mode (day). I don't know why TVs have all of this useless settings.
@TheLiveCoach people don't know the TV is applying filters or can't even see te difference in frame rate, colorspace etc... it's not becuse they like it
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.
Thx for the review! You come off sounding a bit apologetic and uncertain in some segments due to them being technical. I don't think you need to tell people to skip ahead and apologize for anything. The great content you've always put out is what got you here. Too much focus on growth is probably counter productive. Stay true to what you are and everything will be great. :) Cause you are awesome!
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.
@@jblaze600 Yup. I got the C2. Webos is awful but EVERY TV nowadays has awful software with ads. You can't avoid it, it sucks. Why the hell do TV manufacturers have to do this to us? I miss the simplicity of just turning my TV on and choosing my input. Why do I need F'n ads and shows that I would have to pay for to show up on my screen? Like wtf?
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.
@@classicgalactica5879 Dolby vision was only ever needed for WOLEDS because they couldn't reach 1000 nit peak brightness and LGs tone mapping wasn't enough to keep to keep their panels from falling off the EOTF curve. Now that QD solves the washed out whites and allows for full luminance translation you don't need DV to account for WOLED shortcomings. The image produced resolves in full color volume without the need of specific color tuning or tone adjustment with the kind of brightness the panel emits, I can personally attest to that after having used it for the last week.
@@TrinityofthePhoenix lmao I have had led with 1300 nits and Dolby visions very necessary. Lmao first qd comes out and y’all show how unloyal y’all are Lmaoo No wonder relationships don’t lasts nowadays
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.
It’s the lacklustre brightness and risk of burn in that puts me well off the 42” C2. Gone with the Samsung 9n90b 43 for a brighter more colourful picture - though it’s still on pre-order
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.
Hopefully I’ll be getting the LG C1 77’ having the PS5 it will bring pure happiness in gaming and watching movies with appreciation and satisfaction guaranteed !
Yes, the C1 is a better buy, and in my opinion, it's the better television, picture quality and all. Edit: Do not trust customer reviews, especially the ones that I have seen for the C2 on Google. Most of them are fake, and if you see where they come from, you'll understand. There are plenty of reasons why bots or employees will go onto other websites, and they have. In the end, this sounds like a petty justification for buying another television. A 5-star review and the size of the television/sharpness have nothing to do with each other. Unless it is honestly stated and displayed, I would not trust it.
I have a cx I spend most of my time in Xbox or ps5 interface, very little in WebOS. Both consoles use cec(so) to automatically switch the input when turned in or press the “guide” button on the controller.
I wonder how much if fuck around with the game optimiser fps mode etc I just like setting my tv settings in the TV. I know you can probly still do that jut then have 4 extra settings on top... I'd spent hours looking at playing with what one looks best abs trying to find each modes facts on ping and reasons
I just purchased the C2 and it’s actually too bright for me even during daytime. I had to lower the brightness level to 80 and it’s still a little too bright for me. Incredible Tv
Yeah the idea that this TV might not be bright enough is CRAZY to me... I also have had to reduce the brightness levels. OLED brightness somewhere around 70 to 80 and lots of the dynamic settings reduced or turned off entirely.
Im in the same boat as you two. Brightness is more than enough on the C2 especially if its in a darker room. I keep my brightness at 80 percent as well
@@CarrotJuice87 you cant go wrong with the C2! Especially with the prices lately. You arent missing anything from the C3, so you will definitely enjoy the C2
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.
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.
@@mohammedalhassan2389 yeah I'm looking at 55" models personally. Ideally 2022 unless I'm buying an A90J since Sony is kind of carrying that over another year.
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 UA-cam, 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!
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 🙏
Congratulations. I just bought mine for 1900 dollars, 65 inches too, it'll arrive in 2 weeks. If we consider it's 1600 on Amazon, that I paid 2500 for my current 55 inches full HD OLED back in 2016 and that I live in a third world shithole, I think it was a great buy. 👍
Any Feedback after 1 year of use? I'm thinking of getting an OLED and the C2 is heavily discounted Right now. Do you have any image retention or Burn in?
Thanks for the review. My very specific question is, keeping in mind that price matters, would you rather buy a discounted C1 or is the C2 better enough to justify paying more now?
I went from an LG B8 to a C1, I was blown away. The picture and brightness is a big upgrade. I honestly feel, unless you're spoiled by an extremely high end OLED already, you'll be more than satisfied with the older model. I scooped up a 65" C1 on Woot! for $1,650 and couldn't be happier.
Yes price matters but the video is not about price its about the quality and c2 is a better quality and why go with an older model when the new one is better in most ways and to me would be dumb to buy an older model just because its cheaper. Just wait for the c2 price to lower later this yr and problem solved
@@christianmarmol3230 your comment literally makes no sense. Why would it be dumb to buy something that is cheaper? The C2 is not worth the premium over the C1 right now. Sure the C2 is better but is it $900 better??? Hell no. You're not looking at the bigger picture. Just because something is better doesn't mean it's worth the price premium better. Why buy a C2 when you can buy a C1 which is extremely close to the C2 in performance at only 65% of the price. Everything is price to performance related and the C2 doesn't hold up in that department. Definitely not dumb to go with the C1 at all. Unless you just don't care about money which most people don't have that luxury.
This may be the most important year in awhile to wait until all the tvs are released. I see a lot of buyers remorse in these chats since QD oled arrived.
I just had the 83" model hung on my wall to replace a 6 year old Samsung that crapped out on me. I will never purchase another Samsung. I am not going to pretend that I even understand half of what is covered in this video but I can tell you this, I love this TV! It absolutely blows Samsung away. The clarity of viewing angles the depth of the blacks the vibrancy of colors are jaw dropping. I really like the minimal black frame around the edges. For somebody like me who is in his mid 50's its a game changer in viewing experience because your eyes do not get better with age trust me LOL! And this TV is the optimal viewing experience. I don't know enough to say that this is the best out there but its the best for me and the one I got!
Another stellar review Caleb. And I'm not just talking about the C2. Your reviews from a real world perspective are the best on UA-cam hands down. Vincent over at HDTV Test is the best technical guy but I will watch everything you review as your opinion is point on every time. I'm planning on upgrading my C8 this year as I want to move on from a 65 inch panel into a 77 and this year honestly is the hardest choice yet. I'm really curious about seeing true head to heads with QD Oled tech, but because the size isn't there, yet, it's really down to the C2 and the G2 which I'm curious about when you might be reviewing that panel. The Sony's are beautiful but I really dislike their firmware delays over other brands. Keep up the great work 👍
100% have to watch a non paid reviewer, these guys have no balls unless the difference is very pronounced however i believe c1 has the more natural picture with c2 picture processing impressing only in the short term
@@christianmarmol3230 for sure it will be better than the C1 even if it is just by minor upgrades, my question was more towards which one is a better choice for the price and if it worth paying the extra price for those minor upgrades
Thanks for the review I got the C2 a few days ago on sale and wow amazing I first bought a Hisense U8 but had some verrical DSE and i didnt want to play the return game and hope the replacement is better because it could be worse. I can look past some things but Dirty Screen Effect is not something i can live with and besides rhe U8 wasnt all I thought it would be. After watching lots of UA-cam videos and reddit comments the LG C2 kept being brought up over and over as the best TV to get especially for the picture and no DSE (dirsty screen effect). Best advice I've ever been given its so good I feel lucky and thankful for all the advice and reviews here on youtube its thr really good side of social media. OLED is the absolute way to go you do not have to have it so bright and burn your eyes to have nice HDR and color pop.
qd oled blows any wrgb oled tv including log's oled, sb95 got better colors, brighter, better picture quality, when it comes to gaming both have the same input lag
@@johnm4397 QD OLED has no better color, it is an optical illusion QD OLED has a lot of amplified and overemphasized colors (like on samsung amoled screens on phones), but people like that.enhanced colors and enhanced lighting leads to a faster problem - BURN IN
@@animals7473 You don't know what you're talking about. Read about QD-OLED tech, the omission of white subpixel which WOLED uses for brightness that washes out colors, why WOLED can't reproduce accurate bright gold colors as QD-OLED can, why QD-OLED has a significant higher color gamut compared to WOLED in every test. Also QD-OLEDs are theoretically less prone to burn-in even with its peak color brightness (not just white) being higher than WOLED.
@@animals7473 if its "optical illusion", but the end of the day it just looks better to my eyes, WHO THE FK CARES THE BACKGROUND lNFO? :D if we preceive it better, it is better
10:51 THANK YOU for the warning, real pro move. Also, I disagree with the wii remote sensor thingy on the tv remote, I love that lol I think all remotes should have that feature. Great review as always!
Just ordered one from Costco 65" They give a 5 year warranty and 90 day return policy...4% back using their card and $100 in streaming services...looking forward to it...Upgrading from a Series 4 TCL/Roku. Will almost certainly use a Roku.
Ordered the S95B from there and waiting for it to be delivered. Thinking about canceling it due to some issues I’ve heard about the Samsung. It was between this tv and the S95 to begin with and now I’m most likely changing my mind 😂
Thank you Caleb! I agree the wii style Magic Remote is tired 😆 and the controller is very stiff but some people definitely still love it lol so I’m expecting a passionate defense of this remote. Great analogy for TVs in the beginning btw I think that should help a lot of people understand there is not a perfect TV it doesn’t exist.
I still prefer the wii style remote pointer. I’m still on the LG C7 (2017) and I find it much more preferable to the usual system on other TV brands. I’m happy that LG is still using it since while it isn’t new, it works well.
I really want to see C1 vs C2... And I see someone else has made this comment but that's the thing, just like last year CX deals when C1 released, I want to see a side-by-side worst/best case scenarios for why I should pony up more for C2, or be completely content with a C1 if it's significantly cheaper. Please :)
@@Brakem01 That size difference alone will be enough to push some over the edge if they were previously considering the C-line for their computer monitor.
@@BeginsWithTheEnd every single review I've watched says the c1 and g1 are better than the c2. C1 motion is better and the brightness is barely noticeable.
Up until the last day or two (LG has now changed the product description for the 42" LG C2 because they fear being sued) LG's definition of Evo has been "a new layer and stronger emissive material." Theyve since removed that Evo description because they know it has been false advertising.
Hi Caleb, another great review as usual. The LG C2 is an outstanding TV. it looks really nice even through my Gateway HD monitor. I love those speakers you have next to the TV. what brand are they? I would love to get them for my Media Room. thanks Caleb✌
I've been using those in my setup for the past 3 years. Paired up with an Anthem MRX720. Excellent speakers. Grills are terrible so don't bother buying them if you don't need them.
Just got the c2 for 1700 from Costco on oct 29 2022. This thing is certainly bright enough for a living room with all the windows open and lights on. Not possible with my 2009 Panasonic plasma which is still running fine. I’m liking the picture so far
Any Feedback after 1 year of use? I'm thinking of getting an OLED and the C2 is heavily discounted Right now. Do you have any image retention or Burn in?

I would really like to see the C2 VS the G2 to really see if the heatsink makes that big of a difference (I am looking at the 83" model and the G2 is $1000 more, so is it worth the premium?). As always great content.
@@silklion7375 , I know that the image retention goes away much quicker with a heatsink, I don't worry about Burn In, I have had Plasma TVs for years, and the new systems with pixel shift etc. take care of that, plus I don't have the TV on all day with CNN tickers etc. running, but agree with you, heat kills electronics, so longevity is true, appreciate the response.
I'm curious for this review as well. You'll definitely see diminishing returns on $ spent at the top end, but how much will be interesting to quantify. Personally I'm loving my C1 but holding off on my oled "monitor" purchase until there are less compromises (Alienware got so close to making a perfect monitor 😔)
I've just purchased a 65" C2 to replace our much loved 55" CX. We just wanted something larger. The CX has been an awesome TV. We'll just move it to another room and continue to enjoy for years to come. However, it would be great to see some comparisons made in these reviews against older models. Most people change TV's between 3 - 5 years therefore, I'd love to see a comparison made to the C8 and C9.
@@ahmet_10 the prices of the C2 is good right now. You can get a 48inch C2 for $900. My C2 has been treating me well for the past 7 months and i will keep it for a long time
Long story short, I would like to see a comparison of the G2 vs the C2 to see if it is worth the extra money. I don't like the fact that the Samsung S95B QD-OLED has intentionally inaccurate color mapping to look more saturated, even in filmmaker mode, and that it still puts its own tone mapping over top of HGIG tone mapping in games, which can make some parts of the screen look blown out due to the undefeatable second layer of tone mapping. The Sony A95K QD-OLED likely won't have these problems, and I can live with only having two HDMI 2.1 ports, but the roughly $3000 price tag for a 55" TV is hard to justify. This leaves me with deciding between a 55" LG G2 and a 55" LG C2. Or, if the benefits of the G2 aren't worth the price difference, then saving a bit more money and dropping down to a 48" C2 since my current TV is only a 42" and jumping up to a 55" in the same space seems almost too big.
I am new to the channel...but I must tell you....your review of the LG C2 was OUTSTANDING....! I am in the market to purchase a new TV and have narrowed it down between the G2 or C2...So would really like to see your review of the G2 once it is available... Thanks again for a great review....
Go for a QD OLED if you're planning getting an OLED tv. For example, Samsung new QD-OLED vs the new 2022 LG OLED's conparison are now everywhere to see on UA-cam.
Thank you, I was waiting for this! So a question. Here in Sweden the 77' C2 and G1 cost exactly the same. How would these compare in terms of picture quality and brightness? I don't really care about webos snappiness since I'm using Apple TV for almost everything.
Hey there! I enjoy your videos immensely! Props to you for your success. I am about to pull the trigger. For the price point, should I wait for the 2023 models?
@@jamescassar5348 my biggest concern with Samsung is going to be its longevity. Considering its still oled yet pushing twice the brightness is mind boggling. I was going to upgrade my TV this year but after seeing the s95b I'm just gonna wait another year or two to see where everything goes.

Thanks for the suggestions on the settings. I wouldn't have had a clue and the TV now looks truly incredible. The super resolution I found in the games settings also ramped the image up significantly. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
No one is concerned about the "evo" technology (panel + processing, etc.)... What everyone is concerned about is the EX panel - and which LG TVs will have it and which won't.
Funny thing is that I care about the difference in weight of the TV more than anything else. I'm looking to get a 77" model and moving it around will be tough with just the wife and I.
Hey, Caleb!!!!! Did I miss the C2 vs A80K head to head “battle”? I haven’t been able to find that video. That is the video I’ve been waiting for since you posted this video.
Got a 65" C1 for $1600 new so no way the C2 (I've looked at them in person as well) is worth the extra $900 I have my C1 in a completely dark room and it is too bright sometimes, don't really need the higher peak. And the C1 has better black frame insertion options for gaming than the C2 does, but C2 does have better banding and AI image correction
@@paulcox2447 Yeah, I should've worded my comment better. "Because of the gaming advantages, I'm not all that interested in Sony (until they catch up). I also don't like Samsung." Poorly worded on my part.
Just got the 77 inch C2 and it does seem to hit different than my 65 CX. I hated the C1 that I had last year, C2 seems "better" and cleaner in every way. Not night and day, but definitely improved. I watched The Batman last night and it was a perfect showcase for this TV, I saw all the shadow detail and the highlights were blinding and made me squint, couldn't imagine it being much brighter.
What you really should have mentioned is if the C2 is worth the extreme premium over the C1 right now... I highly doubt it. Looks to me like the C1 is 90%+ of the C2 at only 65% the price.
The video isn't about price but about the quality, so makes no sense to mention price. Of course the c1 is cheaper, every yr the old one is going to be cheaper. He even said in the video the c2 is better then its predecessor (c1)

But is that better processor seriously worth the extra $900 they're asking for it. No lol.
@@christianmarmol3230 No which is exactly my point. As of right now the C2 is not worth it at all over the C1 since the C1 is 65% of the price and 90% of the performance. Price to performance is everything when it comes to a product unless you're rich and don't care. Which most people aren't. Just speaking facts. The C2 is nowhere near worth it's price right now over the C1. Maybe in the future if they become closer in price, but until then the C1 is the better buy overall.

I have seen strong reviews of the Samsung QD-OLED compared to the Sony A90J or K OLED, and I think of lg OLED is in trouble except for TVs greater than 65”. The Samsung 65 QD-OLED has an incredible price.
I replaced a LG C9 with the S95B this past weekend and I’ve never seen colors ,brightness or richness on an oled like this before. My friend, LG is definitely in trouble.
Samsungs will not start making larger QD-OLED panels (77 inch or above) until at least 2023, so for those who are looking for a larger screen, LG OLED's are still the way to go this year.
@@lukey08 For me the Sony OLEDs, but I’m waiting for QD- OLED or a new microLED architecture which replaces the blue OLED layer with a blue microLED layer.
We appreciate the video Caleb, but the television world has just been rocked… There is nothing that can capture our attention at this point unless it’s the final battle between the G2 and the S95B where the S95B puts the G2 to the sword ⚔️ 😆. Should be interesting to see what LG does for 2023.
Caleb love the numbers for nit nerds tag Keep IT! I’m putting together my C2 right now choose this over the new Sony for the gaming options love your channel it’s the best on UA-cam for reviews also the quality of tv choices is so razor close you could drive yourself crazy choosing 😂
I've been waiting for a fresh digital trends video and this is what you give me?...i mean of course i'll take it 😁❤ but the next one better be the samsung s95b.. hmpf😝
I want to buy the Samsung S95B, but its $3100CAD, so I may just have to get the C2, and even though the QD-OLED looks really nice, I don't think it justifies the price jump IMO.
The S95B is definitely worth the money. My LG C9 was a great TV but QD OLED is the leap forward we've been waiting for. I can't go back to WOLED after seeing the S95b and what QD OLED can do..
@@torguy5763 I get it … but, if you’re able and willing to wait till it’s on sale then I recommend you do that. At least get a look at a QD OLED when it’s on display in the stores before you buy an LG oled this year trust me.
Just has a 77 C2 installed (to replace my 65 C1 - moved to bedroom). I love them both. LG fan for life most likely. My first step into OLED and hard to deviate from that picture quality after.
LG has no chance against the S95B. QD-OLED is just better. Max Peak is 1500nits on a 1% Window which is crazy bright for an OLED. Color Brightness is also 3 times better than LG. This Year my LG CX gets replaced by the Samsung S95B and I am looking forward to it!
@@zaintariq6364 The NEW QD-OLED Sony A95K will most likely get you the best Picture of all TV's but for a much higher price. Also not sure about gaming Input Lag on the Sony. Samsung S95B is on pair with LG which is fantastic .
I’m debating on buying this tv or the Sony A80K in a 77 inch. I can’t wait until you’re able to review that. I’ll be upgrading from a Samsung 65 inch Q7FN
Rtings showed my c9 is brighter then the g2! Is some brightness tests. S95b is for people who want to upgrade their oled. C2 is for people who want oled cheap.
Honestly the only problem i have with lg oled tvs is the web os and how cluttered it is. You pay for a premium TV the last thing I want is to be bombarded by ads just to switch streaming services if they don't have a button on the remote.
@@falconman178 After seeing what other youtuber's have said about the S95B side by side with the C2 I would never consider a WOLED. It's old tech that has had it's day.
I was at best buy looking at TVs. Frankly, the differences between tvs weren't huge, but the most standout thing for me was always size. A much cheaper 86 inch looked so much more immersive/ stunning than even the 83 inch C2 next to it. Made me really confused about a purchase.
Could also have something to do with the content they play on the tv's at the store. They are running top quality provided content for sales purposes. It makes tv's that won't look as good at home due to available content and how it is provided.....direct connect (4k player) versus satellite for example, look as good as it can. So to compare them at the store it should be identical content playing at the same time, otherwise it can be misleading. But I don't know what the other tv is you're looking at so it could just be a solid tv at a good price.
Just bought a 65'' LGC2 and I'm playing God of War Ragnarok on it... I absolutely love it and already can't wait to hear what's up for the C3 for 2023.
It really is a sweet television, I got the 65inch for my ps5 and I couldnt believe the picture quiality, just beautiful,, and the movies/series, man, def a must buy if youre thinking about switching to OLED
Hard disagree on updating the remote with a built in battery. Don't need another thing to recharge or another piece of eWaste when the controller doesn't hold a charge anymore. I've got some Eneloops in my remote I switch out two to three times a year. Easy peezy. And I love the motion controls in the Magic Remote. I still think that makes LG's the best out there.
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!
Getting mine in 2 weeks. My first OLED too. Can't wait...

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.
Is the brightness is good?
@@ahmet_10 i think the brightness is more than enough. Sometimes its a little too bright when in a dark room so i turn the brightness to 80 percent
@@Bdot888 brightness default is %50, %80 is too much, so brightness is low??? %60-65 must be enough, can %80 brightness handle Contrast problem? Too much white tone at backgroud maybe?
Any Feedback after 1 year of use? I'm thinking of getting an OLED and the C2 is heavily discounted Right now. Do you have any image retention or Burn in?
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.
The C1 is still plenty amazing! You arent missing out much with the C2. LG makes amazing oleds and im excited to see the evolution of oleds in the next 5 years!
I don’t think there is any noticeable difference, have seen these panels side by side on some sites and apart from the WebOS loading faster, there is no benefit.
The C1 is awesome
Enjoy it!

Thanks!
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.
Really??
Keep the receipt for that C2 because once you’ve seen QD OLED there is no going back. The S95B I picked up this weekend made my LG C9 look dead and lifeless by comparison. I haven’t seen the C2 in person but 20 to 30% increase in brightness can’t save LG this year or the next. QD OLED is next level.
@@mrnyceguy24 yeahh the c2 is basically the same as the c1 soo I wouldn't get it and get the Samsung s95b vuz it completely destroyed any TV thats ever made and that is mo exaggeration
Got a 77 inch C2 myself. It’s awesome!
Got a 65" C1 for $1600 new so no way the C2 (I've looked at them in person as well) is worth the extra $900
I have my C1 in a completely dark room and it is too bright sometimes, don't really need the higher peak. And the C1 has better black frame insertion options for gaming than the C2 does, but C2 does have better banding and AI image correction
I got the 83" a few days ago. Goes up on the wall on Thursday. I'm blown away with this display!

@@Prettytony0627 i getting the 77 inch next weekend....finally upgraded my 6 year old b6......cant wait
77 inch C2 coming tomorrow, really excited!
Very good, you should watch Gonjiam Haunted Asylum, thats amazing dark scene and scary.
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.
Olden times lol, I'm still running a Samsung plasma in my bedroom.
Oled reminds me of the Pioneer Kuro deep blacks we used to get, I sold my Pioneer to my friend, and still cannot believe how good that TV is, connected to Sky Q it’s picture is totally awesome.
The C2 is a bit of a untamed beast, the screen settings once you manage to get them how you want them are incredible, I prefer the Panasonic menu for setting up, but have not had to change any settings on my 65 C2 for about a week now, I am happy.
just turn off everything, all the AI crap, cinematic movement, sharpness etc and stay in Filmamker mode (day). I don't know why TVs have all of this useless settings.
@TheLiveCoach people don't know the TV is applying filters or can't even see te difference in frame rate, colorspace etc... it's not becuse they like it
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.

How is the c2 for u with watching movies?
@@christianmarmol3230 It’s arriving tomorrow, but I imagine it’ll be amazing if the C9 is anything to go by. 😁

Thx for the review!
You come off sounding a bit apologetic and uncertain in some segments due to them being technical. I don't think you need to tell people to skip ahead and apologize for anything.
The great content you've always put out is what got you here. Too much focus on growth is probably counter productive.
Stay true to what you are and everything will be great. :) Cause you are awesome!
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.
Webos is horrible. My c1 be doing all kinds of crazy stuff lol. Switches input, on/off tv etc. The Webos on my c9 is so much better.
@@jblaze600 Yup. I got the C2. Webos is awful but EVERY TV nowadays has awful software with ads. You can't avoid it, it sucks. Why the hell do TV manufacturers have to do this to us? I miss the simplicity of just turning my TV on and choosing my input. Why do I need F'n ads and shows that I would have to pay for to show up on my screen? Like wtf?
Hows the C2 treating u now? Im getting mine in two days
I have two Lg C1s… used them for gaming on ps5. What a joy !!!! Colors just pop !!!
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.
One thing to consider before your purchase. Samsung TVs don't have Dolby Vision.
@@classicgalactica5879 Nobody really cares about Dolby Vision much these days. HDR10 is suitable for most people.
@@classicgalactica5879 Dolby vision was only ever needed for WOLEDS because they couldn't reach 1000 nit peak brightness and LGs tone mapping wasn't enough to keep to keep their panels from falling off the EOTF curve.
Now that QD solves the washed out whites and allows for full luminance translation you don't need DV to account for WOLED shortcomings. The image produced resolves in full color volume without the need of specific color tuning or tone adjustment with the kind of brightness the panel emits, I can personally attest to that after having used it for the last week.
@@classicgalactica5879 I have a 55 c9 and a 77 C1 and I'd change my 77 C1 for a 65 SN95B any day.

I own the 42inch C2 for pc monitor use. It truly is amazing and 4k @42 inches is very pleasing for pixel density.
How? I can't even find the C2 42 in the market
fake
After waiting 2 years for it and the damn $ being 1400 instead of the expected 1k I'm pretty frustrated with the C2 42.
It’s the lacklustre brightness and risk of burn in that puts me well off the 42” C2. Gone with the Samsung 9n90b 43 for a brighter more colourful picture - though it’s still on pre-order
@@x12flare73 black on samsung is fail
Just ordered one off Amazon from listening to your multiple reviews on it. Hope it's worth it.
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 wouldn’t say 1k is a “really affordable” price tag especially for most people for a TV😂 but I will say it is well worth it
Strongly agree I own the C1 and not departing with it anytime soon it's just plain awesome 👍
Hopefully I’ll be getting the LG C1 77’ having the PS5 it will bring pure happiness in gaming and watching movies with appreciation and satisfaction guaranteed !
C1 underated? It is the go to TV everyone recommend.
Yes, the C1 is a better buy, and in my opinion, it's the better television, picture quality and all.
Edit: Do not trust customer reviews, especially the ones that I have seen for the C2 on Google. Most of them are fake, and if you see where they come from, you'll understand. There are plenty of reasons why bots or employees will go onto other websites, and they have. In the end, this sounds like a petty justification for buying another television. A 5-star review and the size of the television/sharpness have nothing to do with each other. Unless it is honestly stated and displayed, I would not trust it.
The C2 is an excellent choice but I saved $$$ and bought the LG 55C1
for $1199 @ Best Buy. Awesome deal.
It’s now $1099! LG are the OLED masters.
I would like to see the C2 vs Samsung’s 2022 OLED S95B
- LG G2 vs the Samsung OLED S95B and LG C2
- Samsung OLED S95B VS SONY A95K
You're looking really good in this video!
I have a cx I spend most of my time in Xbox or ps5 interface, very little in WebOS.

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.

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 UA-cam, 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!
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 🙏
Congratulations. I just bought mine for 1900 dollars, 65 inches too, it'll arrive in 2 weeks. If we consider it's 1600 on Amazon, that I paid 2500 for my current 55 inches full HD OLED back in 2016 and that I live in a third world shithole, I think it was a great buy. 👍
Any Feedback after 1 year of use? I'm thinking of getting an OLED and the C2 is heavily discounted Right now. Do you have any image retention or Burn in?
Thanks for the review. My very specific question is, keeping in mind that price matters, would you rather buy a discounted C1 or is the C2 better enough to justify paying more now?
I went from an LG B8 to a C1, I was blown away. The picture and brightness is a big upgrade. I honestly feel, unless you're spoiled by an extremely high end OLED already, you'll be more than satisfied with the older model. I scooped up a 65" C1 on Woot! for $1,650 and couldn't be happier.
Yes price matters but the video is not about price its about the quality and c2 is a better quality and why go with an older model when the new one is better in most ways and to me would be dumb to buy an older model just because its cheaper. Just wait for the c2 price to lower later this yr and problem solved
That's what I wanted to know. Looks to me like the C1 is 90%+ of the C2 at only 65% the price.
Definitely a discounted c1. There is not enough gap with a c2, contrary to a qd oled
@@christianmarmol3230 your comment literally makes no sense. Why would it be dumb to buy something that is cheaper? The C2 is not worth the premium over the C1 right now. Sure the C2 is better but is it $900 better??? Hell no. You're not looking at the bigger picture. Just because something is better doesn't mean it's worth the price premium better. Why buy a C2 when you can buy a C1 which is extremely close to the C2 in performance at only 65% of the price. Everything is price to performance related and the C2 doesn't hold up in that department. Definitely not dumb to go with the C1 at all. Unless you just don't care about money which most people don't have that luxury.
from watching this review to buying this tv so happy
This may be the most important year in awhile to wait until all the tvs are released. I see a lot of buyers remorse in these chats since QD oled arrived.
I just had the 83" model hung on my wall to replace a 6 year old Samsung that crapped out on me. I will never purchase another Samsung. I am not going to pretend that I even understand half of what is covered in this video but I can tell you this, I love this TV! It absolutely blows Samsung away. The clarity of viewing angles the depth of the blacks the vibrancy of colors are jaw dropping. I really like the minimal black frame around the edges. For somebody like me who is in his mid 50's its a game changer in viewing experience because your eyes do not get better with age trust me LOL! And this TV is the optimal viewing experience. I don't know enough to say that this is the best out there but its the best for me and the one I got!
Bought 2 C1's last year. Zero regrets. LG makes good televisions.
Did you get them before they went on sale?
Another stellar review Caleb. And I'm not just talking about the C2. Your reviews from a real world perspective are the best on UA-cam hands down. Vincent over at HDTV Test is the best technical guy but I will watch everything you review as your opinion is point on every time.
I'm planning on upgrading my C8 this year as I want to move on from a 65 inch panel into a 77 and this year honestly is the hardest choice yet. I'm really curious about seeing true head to heads with QD Oled tech, but because the size isn't there, yet, it's really down to the C2 and the G2 which I'm curious about when you might be reviewing that panel. The Sony's are beautiful but I really dislike their firmware delays over other brands.
Keep up the great work 👍
It would be great to see what would be better now a C1 or a C2 considering the c1 is cheaper now
100% have to watch a non paid reviewer, these guys have no balls unless the difference is very pronounced however i believe c1 has the more natural picture with c2 picture processing impressing only in the short term
C2 firmware is funded up right now. Digital Foundry kind of mention that.
He just said the c2 is better. A price of a tv doesn't make it better or worse
@@christianmarmol3230 for sure it will be better than the C1 even if it is just by minor upgrades, my question was more towards which one is a better choice for the price and if it worth paying the extra price for those minor upgrades
Thanks for the review I got the C2 a few days ago on sale and wow amazing
I first bought a Hisense U8 but had some verrical DSE and i didnt want to play the return game and hope the replacement is better because it could be worse. I can look past some things but Dirty Screen Effect is not something i can live with and besides rhe U8 wasnt all I thought it would be.
After watching lots of UA-cam videos and reddit comments the LG C2 kept being brought up over and over as the best TV to get especially for the picture and no DSE (dirsty screen effect). Best advice I've ever been given its so good I feel lucky and thankful for all the advice and reviews here on youtube its thr really good side of social media.
OLED is the absolute way to go you do not have to have it so bright and burn your eyes to have nice HDR and color pop.

10:51 THANK YOU for the warning, real pro move. Also, I disagree with the wii remote sensor thingy on the tv remote, I love that lol I think all remotes should have that feature. Great review as always!
Agreed the remote is awesome. How you going to act like wii controls are outdated when they're still the best way to control it lol.
Just ordered one from Costco 65" They give a 5 year warranty and 90 day return policy...4% back using their card and $100 in streaming services...looking forward to it...Upgrading from a Series 4 TCL/Roku. Will almost certainly use a Roku.
Ordered the S95B from there and waiting for it to be delivered. Thinking about canceling it due to some issues I’ve heard about the Samsung. It was between this tv and the S95 to begin with and now I’m most likely changing my mind 😂
Thank you Caleb! I agree the wii style Magic Remote is tired 😆 and the controller is very stiff but some people definitely still love it lol so I’m expecting a passionate defense of this remote. Great analogy for TVs in the beginning btw I think that should help a lot of people understand there is not a perfect TV it doesn’t exist.
I still prefer the wii style remote pointer. I’m still on the LG C7 (2017) and I find it much more preferable to the usual system on other TV brands. I’m happy that LG is still using it since while it isn’t new, it works well.

Up until the last day or two (LG has now changed the product description for the 42" LG C2 because they fear being sued) LG's definition of Evo has been "a new layer and stronger emissive material." Theyve since removed that Evo description because they know it has been false advertising.
This year is so exciting. Cant wait for your comparison on other tv’s
Hi Caleb, another great review as usual. The LG C2 is an outstanding TV. it looks really nice even through my Gateway HD monitor. I love those speakers you have next to the TV. what brand are they? I would love to get them for my Media Room. thanks Caleb✌

@@silklion7375 , I know that the image retention goes away much quicker with a heatsink, I don't worry about Burn In, I have had Plasma TVs for years, and the new systems with pixel shift etc. take care of that, plus I don't have the TV on all day with CNN tickers etc. running, but agree with you, heat kills electronics, so longevity is true, appreciate the response.

I've just purchased a 65" C2 to replace our much loved 55" CX. We just wanted something larger. The CX has been an awesome TV. We'll just move it to another room and continue to enjoy for years to come. However, it would be great to see some comparisons made in these reviews against older models. Most people change TV's between 3 - 5 years therefore, I'd love to see a comparison made to the C8 and C9.
C2 is good??

@@michael-4k4000 is it worth?
@@ahmet_10 the prices of the C2 is good right now. You can get a 48inch C2 for $900. My C2 has been treating me well for the past 7 months and i will keep it for a long time
You do the best reviews caleb. I still love my 55 C9, will wait a couple more years... Then 65 QD-OLED.
Long story short, I would like to see a comparison of the G2 vs the C2 to see if it is worth the extra money.
I don't like the fact that the Samsung S95B QD-OLED has intentionally inaccurate color mapping to look more saturated, even in filmmaker mode, and that it still puts its own tone mapping over top of HGIG tone mapping in games, which can make some parts of the screen look blown out due to the undefeatable second layer of tone mapping. The Sony A95K QD-OLED likely won't have these problems, and I can live with only having two HDMI 2.1 ports, but the roughly $3000 price tag for a 55" TV is hard to justify.
This leaves me with deciding between a 55" LG G2 and a 55" LG C2. Or, if the benefits of the G2 aren't worth the price difference, then saving a bit more money and dropping down to a 48" C2 since my current TV is only a 42" and jumping up to a 55" in the same space seems almost too big.
I would love to see B2 vs C2 vs G2.
I am new to the channel...but I must tell you....your review of the LG C2 was OUTSTANDING....! I am in the market to purchase a new TV and have narrowed it down between the G2 or C2...So would really like to see your review of the G2 once it is available... Thanks again for a great review....
Go for a QD OLED if you're planning getting an OLED tv. For example, Samsung new QD-OLED vs the new 2022 LG OLED's conparison are now everywhere to see on UA-cam.

I have the tab s8 ultra coming in 4 days so I already spent enough 😂 I'm quite the tech enthusiast as you may have gathered
@@jamescassar5348 I'm coming from a 55 tcl p607 from 2017. I mainly just want a new TV for 120hz but I figured if I'm gonna upgrade might aswell go all out right.
Thanks for the suggestions on the settings. I wouldn't have had a clue and the TV now looks truly incredible. The super resolution I found in the games settings also ramped the image up significantly. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
No one is concerned about the "evo" technology (panel + processing, etc.)... What everyone is concerned about is the EX panel - and which LG TVs will have it and which won't.
EX is predicated on the panel being Evo/deuterium based...
Funny thing is that I care about the difference in weight of the TV more than anything else. I'm looking to get a 77" model and moving it around will be tough with just the wife and I.
Hey, Caleb!!!!!
Did I miss the C2 vs A80K head to head “battle”? I haven’t been able to find that video. That is the video I’ve been waiting for since you posted this video.
You gotta do c1 vs c2
I think that could be arranged.
still rocking that C9 baby
Got a 65" C1 for $1600 new so no way the C2 (I've looked at them in person as well) is worth the extra $900
I have my C1 in a completely dark room and it is too bright sometimes, don't really need the higher peak. And the C1 has better black frame insertion options for gaming than the C2 does, but C2 does have better banding and AI image correction
That is the norm. Next year C2 makes C3 to look stupid, when considering price... although it will be better at picture quality wise...
How’s the image in a bright room?
Not only alot brighter, but has better colours with must better colour volume.....
Waiting for C3 , so can buy C2 😎
Great content. Because of the gaming advantages the LG TVs still hold, I’m not all that interested in Sony or Samsung.
what gaming advantages? you mean dolby vision gaming?
Samsung is literally just as fast in gaming input Vincent Teoh has done the comparisons.
@@TrinityofthePhoenix there is way more to gaming than input lag. But yeah Samsung has everything except for Dolby vision
@@paulcox2447 Yeah, I should've worded my comment better. "Because of the gaming advantages, I'm not all that interested in Sony (until they catch up). I also don't like Samsung." Poorly worded on my part.
I just got my C2 for $1542!! 😎 can’t wait!
Just got the 77 inch C2 and it does seem to hit different than my 65 CX. I hated the C1 that I had last year, C2 seems "better" and cleaner in every way. Not night and day, but definitely improved. I watched The Batman last night and it was a perfect showcase for this TV, I saw all the shadow detail and the highlights were blinding and made me squint, couldn't imagine it being much brighter.
I love my CX, I’ll probably keep it for another year or two. But seeing these new models wants me to get a new one.
@@jordanstinson2505 I was going to wait, but I had a big credit at BB, I had to use and with reward points got this for an amazing deal.
Why do you buy a new TV every year? Just curious.
LOVE CX AS IT STILL HAS THE GREAT WEBOS, I TOOK Back the c1 because the webos is now god awful, guessing ther c2 is on the new webos. so im out.
I just got a free upgrade from costco from the 77 c1 to the 77 c2. Looking good so far.
What you really should have mentioned is if the C2 is worth the extreme premium over the C1 right now... I highly doubt it. Looks to me like the C1 is 90%+ of the C2 at only 65% the price.
The video isn't about price but about the quality, so makes no sense to mention price. Of course the c1 is cheaper, every yr the old one is going to be cheaper. He even said in the video the c2 is better then its predecessor (c1)
@@christianmarmol3230 The title says this is a review. Reviews discuss everything about a product and that includes the price as well. Obviously people are going to ask on a review if the product is worth the price they're asking for it...🤦♂ Yes he said it has a better processor. But is that better processor seriously worth the extra $900 they're asking for it. No lol.
@@PabzRoz wtf? No it doesn't lmao. Was the c1 worth it a yr ago over the cx when it was $600 more?
@@christianmarmol3230 No which is exactly my point. As of right now the C2 is not worth it at all over the C1 since the C1 is 65% of the price and 90% of the performance. Price to performance is everything when it comes to a product unless you're rich and don't care. Which most people aren't. Just speaking facts. The C2 is nowhere near worth it's price right now over the C1. Maybe in the future if they become closer in price, but until then the C1 is the better buy overall.
@@christianmarmol3230 do you even know what the definition of a review is?😂 reviews ABSOLUTELY consider price wtf are you even talking about. do you work for LG or something because you're just embarrassing yourself with these ridiculous comments. If you like to waste money and don't care about value that's fine do you. but you can't convince others to be dumb an do the same.
Thanks for this. A lot over reviewers seem to skip the mid-tier models like the C2 and focus on the flagship models like the G2.
I have seen strong reviews of the Samsung QD-OLED compared to the Sony A90J or K OLED, and I think of lg OLED is in trouble except for TVs greater than 65”. The Samsung 65 QD-OLED has an incredible price.
I replaced a LG C9 with the S95B this past weekend and I’ve never seen colors ,brightness or richness on an oled like this before. My friend, LG is definitely in trouble.
If Samsung starts making 77" QD-OLED panels then it's over for OLED. Hopefully LG has a backup plan.
Samsungs will not start making larger QD-OLED panels (77 inch or above) until at least 2023, so for those who are looking for a larger screen, LG OLED's are still the way to go this year.
@@lukey08 For me the Sony OLEDs, but I’m waiting for QD- OLED or a new microLED architecture which replaces the blue OLED layer with a blue microLED layer.
Love your reviews
We appreciate the video Caleb, but the television world has just been rocked…
There is nothing that can capture our attention at this point unless it’s the final battle between the G2 and the S95B where the S95B puts the G2 to the sword ⚔️ 😆.
Should be interesting to see what LG does for 2023.
Not "our" attention just your attention. I definitely want the c2 do to it being best for gaming
@@christianmarmol3230 I don’t think it’s just my attention lol.
@@504cool definitely not mine and some other I've read on here
Caleb love the numbers for nit nerds tag Keep IT! I’m putting together my C2 right now choose this over the new Sony for the gaming options love your channel it’s the best on UA-cam for reviews also the quality of tv choices is so razor close you could drive yourself crazy choosing 😂
I've been waiting for a fresh digital trends video and this is what you give me?...i mean of course i'll take it 😁❤ but the next one better be the samsung s95b.. hmpf😝
I’m as eager as you are!
Just ordered the 77” arrives tomorrow
Brah get the LG 97" G2. It's only $25,000!!!! 🤣
I want to buy the Samsung S95B, but its $3100CAD, so I may just have to get the C2, and even though the QD-OLED looks really nice, I don't think it justifies the price jump IMO.
The S95B is definitely worth the money. My LG C9 was a great TV but QD OLED is the leap forward we've been waiting for. I can't go back to WOLED after seeing the S95b and what QD OLED can do..
@@mrnyceguy24 In US dollars its worth it, especially being new technology, but in CAD dollars, it's just way too steep for only a 55".
@@torguy5763 I get it … but, if you’re able and willing to wait till it’s on sale then I recommend you do that. At least get a look at a QD OLED when it’s on display in the stores before you buy an LG oled this year trust me.
Just has a 77 C2 installed (to replace my 65 C1 - moved to bedroom). I love them both. LG fan for life most likely. My first step into OLED and hard to deviate from that picture quality after.
LG has no chance against the S95B. QD-OLED is just better. Max Peak is 1500nits on a 1% Window which is crazy bright for an OLED. Color Brightness is also 3 times better than LG. This Year my LG CX gets replaced by the Samsung S95B and I am looking forward to it!
What about Sony OLED TV compared with C2 ?
@@zaintariq6364 The NEW QD-OLED Sony A95K will most likely get you the best Picture of all TV's but for a much higher price. Also not sure about gaming Input Lag on the Sony. Samsung S95B is on pair with LG which is fantastic .
Wait .LG G2 is flagship oled tv from LG.
@@GamingTech-UA-cam wish samsung would support dolby vision.
I don't want to buy c2 as well as g2 even at half the price of s95b. The only advantage of lg oled is dolby vison.
I’m debating on buying this tv or the Sony A80K in a 77 inch. I can’t wait until you’re able to review that. I’ll be upgrading from a Samsung 65 inch Q7FN
Don’t hesitate to look into the QN90B 75”
The C series is still a great value but it's so clear that LG has peaked with these WRGB OLEDs.
Rtings showed my c9 is brighter then the g2! Is some brightness tests.
S95b is for people who want to upgrade their oled. C2 is for people who want oled cheap.
Great metaphor 😂
Intriguing synopsis on review, definitely on my radar.
Honestly the only problem i have with lg oled tvs is the web os and how cluttered it is. You pay for a premium TV the last thing I want is to be bombarded by ads just to switch streaming services if they don't have a button on the remote.
You can turn off the ads in settings
@A Turtle interesting. I've been through all the settings and can't say I've seen that setting.
@@LuciferXV Settings, General, System, Additional settings, Home settings and turn off “Home promotion”
We need the A80K comparison!
LG has a massive problem this year. It's called the S95B and A95K..
Doubt it as lg will still sell lots of tvs
@@falconman178 Better off buying a C1 save a huge amount and get 95% of the C2.
It’s still the best gaming display in the world .
@@cp070476 I personally would jump up to the G series if I was to grab an lg. Fortunately I get the tvs at cost almost which helps.
@@falconman178 After seeing what other youtuber's have said about the S95B side by side with the C2 I would never consider a WOLED. It's old tech that has had it's day.
Great review of the C2. Would love to see a comparison of LGs B2 vs C2. Thanks 😎👍
I was at best buy looking at TVs. Frankly, the differences between tvs weren't huge, but the most standout thing for me was always size. A much cheaper 86 inch looked so much more immersive/ stunning than even the 83 inch C2 next to it. Made me really confused about a purchase.
Could also have something to do with the content they play on the tv's at the store. They are running top quality provided content for sales purposes. It makes tv's that won't look as good at home due to available content and how it is provided.....direct connect (4k player) versus satellite for example, look as good as it can. So to compare them at the store it should be identical content playing at the same time, otherwise it can be misleading. But I don't know what the other tv is you're looking at so it could just be a solid tv at a good price.
I picked up the 77inch C1 OLED from LG. Good price and not far off the C2 at all.
Reviews I've read say Samsung's S95b blows this t.v. away.
who cares?
Not everyone cares for Samsung
@@falconman178 samsung is trash. Let all the fanboy attacks begin LOL
@@akasinned52 it actually is ! No Dolby vision and broken hgig .
@@falconman178 Then get the Sony.
Also going to buy these tv as well
Great review as always! Any idea when you'll get the A80K for review?
Yesterday I seen an RCA midsize, Hanging on the wall of this delicatessen, I have never seen any other TV come close to the picture, I was amazed 😳
just bought mine yesterday, waiting for the delivery now. first oled coming from a samsung q80r qled.
Just bought a 65'' LGC2 and I'm playing God of War Ragnarok on it... I absolutely love it and already can't wait to hear what's up for the C3 for 2023.
It really is a sweet television, I got the 65inch for my ps5 and I couldnt believe the picture quiality, just beautiful,,
and the movies/series, man, def a must buy if youre thinking about switching to OLED
Hello Caleb. Great review as always. Was wondering if you could do a comparison video between the C2 and the G1?
LG says it now but they have also said the material used in WBE is harder to burn in.
You didn't mention burn-in, is that still a risk with the C2?
Hard disagree on updating the remote with a built in battery. Don't need another thing to recharge or another piece of eWaste when the controller doesn't hold a charge anymore. I've got some Eneloops in my remote I switch out two to three times a year. Easy peezy.
And I love the motion controls in the Magic Remote. I still think that makes LG's the best out there.
