LG C1 OLED TV (OLED65C1) review

As a follow-up to one of the best TVs from last year, the LG C1 OLED remains one of the best TVs at any price. It’s missing the new OLED evo panels going into the G1 OLED, but even in their absence the C1 produces colorful, bright and rich pictures with support for most types of HDR. There might be one or two areas for improvement, but otherwise the LG C1 OLED is the gold standard for 2021 OLED TVs.

Beautiful 4K/HDR picture; Four HDMI 2.1 ports; WebOS is fantastic;

Reflective glass surface; Reddish hues in faces; No HDR10+

Interface was occasionally glitchy in testing

LG 65" C1 4K OLED 2021 Television OLED65C1PVB.ANR review

In terms of value, the C1 is the best TV in LG’s 2021 range. It hits the sweet spot in terms of design, boasts better gaming connectivity and picture/sound processing than LG’s more affordable model, and offers fantastic HDR images.

Super gaming performance, Excellent contrast and sumptuous HDR, Wide-ranging connectivity and smarts, If you’re an avid gamer, movie watcher or streamer What sets the LG C1 apart from a fair number of TVs on the market is its wide appeal.

Weak sound, Not the strongest motion stability, Potential for image retention/burn-in, You want a brighter HDR performance The introduction of Samsung’s mini-LED TVs has upped brightness well above what OLED is capable of.
