Note that with SDR you'll need to disable the Auto Energy Saving setting (Support > Energy Saving > Energy Saving Step > Off) to get full brightness. I recommend C1 owners do the same to get good color in bright rooms in particular, because the difference between Vivid and more accurate modes is slight. For the accurate color columns above on the C1, I used ISF Expert Bright (Peak Brightness: High) for SDR and Cinema mode for HDR. As with most TVs, the brightest mode for HDR and SDR (Vivid on the C1) is horribly inaccurate. The idea is to increase brightness for daytime viewing environments while maintaining the superior color accuracy of those modes. LG OLEDs of recent vintage have a setting called Peak Brightness that boosts the light output for SDR sources in Cinema and Expert modes, and it works very well.

Compared with other OLEDs it measured basically as bright as the G1, despite lacking the Neo panel, and slightly brighter than the CX, but the difference isn't huge and proved tough to discern in most program material. Again the TCL trailed somewhat, with slightly more obscured shadows and a less theatrical look.Д«right lighting: The C1 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment, but as usual it's not nearly as bright as competing LCD-based models. The shadowy stairs and crags of Cirith Ungol looked realistic, not too bright and yet well-detailed. Shadow detail was also excellent on the C1, if again not any different from the CX. During the darker scenes when Frodo, Sam and Gollum travel toward Mordor, for example, the inky blackness of both OLED TVs surpassed the contrast of the TCL, which showed lighter, less realistic shadows and letterbox bars and some brightness variation (blooming) - standard on just about every non-OLED TV.

In their favor, both 2021 OLEDs are excellent and the best-performing TVs I've reviewed, a hair above the CX.Дim lighting: As expected, the C1 was excellent in a dark room, but no better than the CX when watching cinematic material - in this case The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on standard 1080p Blu-ray. The G1's Evo panel, as I mentioned in that review, doesn't deliver a major brightness advantage over other LG OLEDs, including the C1. I wasn't able to compare it directly to the G1 for this review, but according to my measurements as well as my comparisons of both panels to the CX from 2020, the C1 and G1 have nearly identical image quality. The C1 is a superb performer, every bit as capable as the best TVs I've reviewed.

RS-232 port (minijack, for service only).

Four HDMI inputs with HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.2.

There's also a dedicated headphone or analog audio output and another for IR blasters, which could ease some installations. The selection of connections is otherwise top-notch, though it no longer supports analog component video. Check out our guide to OLED burn-inВ for more. We at CNET don't consider burn-in a reason for most people to avoid buying an OLED TV, however.

All OLED TVs are more subject to both temporary and permanent image retention, aka burn-in, than LCD TVs.

High-end LCDs are brighter than OLEDs (especially with HDR), but the picture quality on OLED TVs I've reviewed is superior overall.

The best LCD TVs I've reviewed so far scored a 9 in image quality, while OLEDs TVs like the C1 have scored a 10.

OLED display technology is fundamentally different from the LED LCD technology used in the vast majority of today's TVs, including Samsung and TCL's QLED models.

The C1 also lacks a far-field mic for hands-free voice and a Next-Gen TV tuner, both relatively minor extras included on the G1. The C1 also has more sizes than the more expensive G1 series, which offers that Evo panel and a slimmer, wall-mount-centric Gallery design.The A1 lacks HDMI 2.1 and has a less impressive processor, as well as fewer HDMI inputs (three instead of four) and a 60Hz refresh rate. The C1 has more sizes than LG's least expensive OLED TV, the A1 series, as well as better image quality features.
