LG C1 55 inch 4K Smart OLED TV,2019

Product Information

There is a new motion setting in the TruMotion menu called Cinematic Movement, which replaces Cinema Clear from last year. The purpose of this setting is to add interpolation smoothing in such a way that there is no obvious Soap Opera Effect (SOE), for those who don’t like or see 24fps judder. It aims to create a judder-free image by prioritising as many real frames as possible and blending these with created frames to improve the motion smoothness. I am susceptible to seeing interpolation at any strength, so it is not a setting I could live with day-to-day, but many users will like the smoothing without SOE or motion looking overly processed. With TruMotion switched off I also didn’t notice any frame skipping issues present with 50Hz broadcast material, even those programmes with fast-moving cuts looked smooth with no obvious issues. With the other settings which use more smoothing and SOE, there are obvious artefacts when motion gets fast, with edges breaking up or trailing behind fast-moving objects. The C1 is, of course, a direct replacement for the outgoing CX model and it shares the same design and chassis layout, as well as the stand. In terms of features, both models are incredibly similar with the same major features of HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision with IQ present and correct, but the remote control and WebOS smart TV system have been updated on the C1 along with Freeview Play featuring in full this year.

Moving to the Rec.709 colour gamut results and we can see that they are also very good out of the box in FMM. There are a few errors here, with red oversaturated slightly and magenta has a hue error towards red. Other points are there or thereabouts and, for an out of the box preset, the results are very good. With every TV out of the box there will be some slight differences due to panel and component variance but FMM has proven to be the most accurate and consistent preset we have seen in TVs to date. Calibrated Lg oled Received our tv yesterday we are blown away with this fantastic oled lg fantastic picture couldn’t be more pleased.Confusingly, there are three versions of the LG C1 in the UK: the C16LA reviewed here, the C14LB and the C15LA. The latter is exclusive to Currys PC World, while the remaining two will be split between all the other retailers. The C14LB has a dark grey rear panel, with the other two using white, but otherwise, all three TVs are identical in terms of specifications, picture quality and features. Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 31st October 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) There are also terrestrial and satellite tuners, a 3.5mm audio output, an optical digital output, an Ethernet port, three USB ports (two 2.0 and one 3.0) and a CI (common interface) slot. For wireless connectivity, there’s built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and support for Apple AirPlay 2.

The processor recognises voices, sounds, and frequencies by learning from more than 17 million audio data points, allowing it to adjust sound by genre for a more immersive experience. New OLED tv I bought this TV only this week. When I first installed it and switched it on " out of the box" I was blown away with the different experience from my old led tv. The main difference this year is that a few buttons have been dropped, allowing for the addition of direct access to Rakuten TV and Disney Plus, along with activation buttons for built-in Alexa and Google assistants. There’s also a microphone for voice interaction and a newly added NFC tag. LG C1 OLED review: Smart TV platformThe LG C1 boasts a surprisingly effective sound system considering its slimline chassis. Hidden inside is a 2.2-channel sound system with 40W of power, and thanks to the sloped stand the audio from the downward-firing speakers is redirected towards the listener, creating a decent front soundstage that has width and a degree of stereo separation. Google Assistant: Ask your TV questions about what you’re watching and find new content using Google voice search. Q3. Does the panel used by the C1 have the same new compounds and materials that the G1 has for better colour and brightness?

Gaming Optimizer centralises all of your game settings. No matter what type of game you're playing, it automatically adapts the display to optimise graphics. You may also switch between NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync to make all of your games sharper and smoother, with less latency, stutter, and tearing. Q4. If the panel and processor are the same what are the actual differences that make the G1 an EVO? Widely regarded as one of the best Smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system continues to set the standard. The latest webOS 22 offers improved personalisation and recommendations. You can create up to six personalised profiles, with individual viewing suggestions, sport alerts and app lists. As we did with the 65-inch version we factory reset the LG 55C1 and then measured the picture presets to find which is the most accurate to the industry standards, out of the box, so we can view content as it was mastered and intended to be seen. Like all recent LG OLED TVs, the best preset for this is Filmmaker Mode (FMM) which switches off all unwanted processing with accurate colour and white balance retained. ISF bright and dark modes are also accurate for colour and white balance, but they do have picture processing switched on as a default, so you would need to switch these off manually. Filmmaker Mode is a one-button press solution that is free from any tampering from processing. It has no motion interpolation switched on and hits gamma BT.1886, D65 white and Rec.709 colour for SDR and BT.2020 colour, and ST.2084 PQ EOTF for HDR. On the C1, the out of the box OLED Pixel Brightness in FMM is set to 25 which equals 100 nits for dark room viewing, however, you can adjust the brightness to match your room conditions.Optimised for the best response with movies, gaming and Smart TV, the LG OLED55CS6LA is a top performer with all content.

In terms of gaming, LG has partnered with NVIDIA and AMD to make LG OLED TVs the only G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync™ Premium certified TVs available to date. There is also the new Game Optimiser set up menu and there are four HDMI 2.1 (40Gbps) inputs with support for 4K/120, HFR (High Frame Rate), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and eARC. We also have HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) settings available for HDR gaming. So all in all, the C1 is an excellent choice for gaming, with an input lag measured at 12.5ms in 4K/60 and 9.5ms using the Prevent Input Delay setting (make sure you have Just Scan on in the aspect ratio menu). Sports Alert sends you notifications prior to, during, and after games. You'll never have to worry about missing any of your favourite teams' big plays, even if you're watching something else.For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit.
