    This is it. It's more than just better; It's having your eyeballs cleaned At 48", this looks sharper than the 43" 4K it replaced. I think it has something to do with the subpixels being individually lit making it appear even sharper than 4k to my eyes. I feel like it's bright enough in a darker room - Actually bright enough to make your eyes hurt sometimes. In a brightly lit room, I can see it being dim. Overall, it's really the contrast that makes this thing shine so as long as you can control the lighting in the room, you'll be amazed.Gaming is perfect. I've got a 3080ti hooked up, and it's good for perfect video with G-Sync (*compatible - it does not have a hardware board... It's really using AMD's FreeSync, but it's been pretty seamless). Everything feels faster, maybe that's just moving from 60hz to 120hz or the faster response of the display, but it feels awesome.Windows HDR actually works with this display - That was a huge surprise. And it works really well! Especially 'autoHDR', which is a XBox feature I believe, which basically 'fakes' HDR on games without it.Using it as a display to do Excel or Word or anything like that is a BAD IDEA. I use it mostly to consume content and play games - what it's made for. Now, don't get me wrong, it works for that. But the auto-dimming features will annoy you & you risk burn in. If that's your primary use case, buy yourself a decent $150-200 27" IPS display to use as a second monitor for that.I've set it to my liking, but it turns out there's built in hardware to help calibrate the display! You do need a $160 calibrator and some software, but it's totally automated by connecting right to the TV over it's IP address.And another welcome treat is software called ColorControl that's available on GitHub ( I believe it's open source ) that controls the TV so it'll turn off when the screensaver kicks in as well as sync turning it on and off to your PC's power state. It's really helpful when using this as a monitor.It seems like C1's made later in the manufacturing cycle seem to be all WBE panels. I got one, there's a few websites that show how to check a number on the box to tell which panel is installed. I'm not sure what difference it really makes, I just know it looks great.The Amazon setup service was a welcome surprise option too; they were professional, clean, and did their job quickly. Very nice folks.

    Best TV I have owned, will never go back. Have had this TV for 3 years now. Sister wanted to know what TV we had to go and buy one, and I had to come back here and write this review. We have had 0 issues with this TV for the 3 years we've had it. I would 100% recommend this TV to anyone. The image is great, the TV is super thin and light, and the colors are vibrant compared to the dark black.We bought it a few years back while the price was more expensive during cyber-monday sales. I would absolutely buy this again.The ONLY bad thing I can say about it, is that when playing certain older games, or watching shows like Game of Thrones, the dark black sometimes makes things difficult to see, but I would say thats an issue with the media itself rather than the TV.TLDR: 10/10 would buy this again.

    Best Picture I Have Ever Seen On A TV!! Also The Best TV For Xbox Series X or PS5!! By far the best picture on a TV I have ever seen. I have the 48" size which is perfect for my bedroom. I could only imagine how amazing the TV must look in bigger sizes.Pictures of the screen and TV do not even do it justice, which is why I did not include any. You just have to see the picture to understand.There is no backlight, each pixel emits its own light individually. That means infinite contrast, true blacks, the brightest whites and deepest colors. A regular LED TV will always show black as slightly "gray" because the pixels are being illuminated by a back or side light. On the LGOLED that goes completely away. Side by side there is no comparison.If you are debating on price just get it, it will last at least 10 years compared to other TV's on the market right now and you will literally own one of the best TV's made. I got it for $1300 new on Amazon. That included tax and some discounts they were giving in addition to a slight sale which made this TV, the C1, the same price as the CX from last year. So the choice for me was a no brainer to go with the C1. It does have a faster processor and a different more user friendly UI compared to the CX as well as a better game mode.I have my Xbox Series X and PS5 running on it and it looks stunning. Dolby vision is beautiful and the integrated game optimizer mode on the TV automatically adjusts to the game input setting when those devices are turned on, but when streaming movies through them it will turn off to improve performance which is so convenient.TV sounds great with its built in, downward firing speakers, but I do have it connected to a sound bar, I was extremely surprised with the quality of the TV speakers despite the TV being INCREDIBLY thin.Every time I look at it, the picture still blows me away. It is a window to another world.
