![]() ![]() This was a vogue technology that made a huge splash at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this year. ![]() The G3 is the first TV we’ve had the pleasure to test that features MLA tech. But, if you have oodles of cash and want the best picture quality available on a 65-inch set then the LG G3 is our current recommendation. ![]() We recommend the LG C2 above the newer flagship G3, not because it’s a better performer, but because it offers better value and is good enough for most buyers. Annoyingly we also regularly experienced a slight rattle from the speaker cabinet when the set is challenged by the loud bassy thumps, such as the opening of Blade Runner 2049.īut, even with this annoyance it still is the best set overall that we’d recommend to most people. Though they’re fine for basic viewing, they don’t match the performance of even a basic soundbar, like the Sonos Ray. Our only minor issue is that, even by TV standards, the LG OLED65C2’s in-built speakers aren’t great. All-in-all, based on our checks, if you want a better all-around TV and picture quality then you’ll need to invest more, in a set like the Sony A80L, which is close to twice the price at the moment in many stores. Colors, in particular, held a wonderful naturalness, with skin tones looking accurate and not being plagued by the warm, artificial tone we experience on many sets. The results watching No Time To Die in HDR10, weren’t quite as impressive as what we got playing Dolby Vision content, but they are still incredibly good considering the TV’s price. Powering it up our testers were particularly impressed with its Dolby Vision HDR performance, with the images offered being clearly brighter and having noticeably more punch than most competing 65-inch sets this price. Picture wise it’s also a solid performer for the price, despite the fact it doesn’t have the heatsink or new micro lens array (MLA) tech seen on more expensive sets, like the LG G3.ĭuring our checks, the 65-inch C2 delivered consistently excellent, immersive picture quality that easily beat or matched pretty much all the other sets we test this price. The end result is a wonderfully feature-rich TV that can easily act as the heart of any home entertainment setup. The WebOS software is also great, with it featuring access to all the major entertainment apps, and many gaming apps, including GeForce Now and Steam Link. It’s also a key selling point for the C2. This means if you have a Dolby Atmos sound system and multiple next-generation consoles, you can’t have everything connected at once. This gives it far more connectivity than most sets - some of which are astronomically more expensive - which for reasons beyond us are still limited to two HDMI 2.1 connections, one of which doubles as an eARC. Though it doesn’t have the dazzling max brightness levels of the newer MLA and QD-OLED sets currently doing the rounds, the C2 's solid all-around performance and flawless feature set make it an easy recommendation.įor starters, unlike many of the sets we test, the C2 had four HDMI 2.1 ports which are capable of 120Hz/4K. This is why at the moment the LG OLED65C2 is our recommended 65-inch set for most people. Second, despite the rise in price, during our checks we found it's not actually a huge upgrade on its more affordable predecessor. The LG C3 is out, but after testing it we'd still recommend the C2 over it for a couple of reasons. ![]()
