I’m a gamer and movie lover. This tv is without doubt the best I’ve owned. I wish i had bought one earlier. Seamless switching between sources and apps. A genuine smart tv.

Really impressed with this TV it was an upgrade from another LG TV which was bigger but wasn’t OLED. The blacks are blacker and the whites whiter with a really crisp picture.

I was looking for a 48 inch OLED TV for my lounge, and having read many reviews online settled for the LG model.

My lounge is approximately 16 x 10 feet and I wanted a TV that would fit in the corner without dominating the room. The LG 48 inch is the perfect size for this, big enough to feel like your part of the action but not so big that it becomes the focal point of the room.

The item arrived in a large cardboard box and was well protected with polystyrene inserts ensuring it survived the journey to my home. Unpacking was not as easy as some TV’s I’ve owned. Sony’s packaging ‘falls away’ from the TV after removing a few plastic clips. The LG however had to be carefully lifted out of its box. The screen was covered in a plastic wrap so this did at least prevent figure prints getting planted all over it.

Once unpacked it was relatively easy to mount the TV on my Spectral stand. One note of caution though is that the power cable does not detach from the TV. This was frustrating because the Spectral stand has a central column where cables can be fed through and hidden from sight. To do this with the LG TV, I’d have to chop the plug off, feed the cable through, and then refit the plug. To avoid invalidating the warranty (and any potential electrical risks) I decided to leave things as they were and plug the TV directly into the wall socket. This means that the cable is visible but it’s a small compromise.

Setting up and tuning the TV is straight forward and you can do this with the supplied remote control or by using an app on your mobile phone. I used my phone and it was pretty effortless. Within minutes I had all the Freeview station tuned in and a half-dozen streaming apps set up.

Picture quality is amazing! Blacks are deep with no shading or digital artefacts and colours pop from the screen. Watch any recent animated film in 4K and you will be astonished.

Navigating the webOS interface takes a bit of getting used to, but within a couple of days I found it quite intuitive.

I can’t comment on the quality of the sound from the built-in speakers as I’m using a Sonos Beam soundbar. On this note, it’s disappointing that when the TV is off you can’t use the remote control to turn the volume up and down when listening to music through the Sonos Beam. After a bit of online research, I discovered this is because LG’s magic remote uses Bluetooth rather than Infrared, so the Sonos Beam cannot respond to it. It’s not a deal-breaker as you can use the Spotify or Sonos app on your mobile phone to control music volume. That aside, when using the Sonos Beam for watching TV, it perfectly integrates with the LG and volume can be controlled using the up/down buttons on remote.

Speaking of the remote, I’ve never used a magic remote control before and now I wouldn’t turn back. It effectively allows you to use the remote like a cursor on your laptop. So when you want to click on something on the TV screen, you point towards it and click as opposed to using the four-way direction control. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but once you’ve used it you’ll never want to go back!

Overall, I’m really pleased with this purchase. The picture quality is brilliant, it’s easy to use and the build quality feels like it will last a good few years.

The tv has a great picture, apps are easy to install and I find the wonder remote easy to use, it’s like having a computer mouse so searching on YouTube and the like are a breeze

This was purchased as a replacement for an old LG TV which had stopped working.
It was a bit of a pain to set up as you have to set up/register every app which took about 3 hours but once that’s done, the results are amazing.
Great picture and sound quality. Expensive but well worth it.

This is an excellent television when you judge it by picture quality and depth of features. BUT. There are two issues that for me reduce the rating by one star. They both relate to viewing ripped DVD and bluray and specifically discs ripped to MKV format. The first is that this television does not recognise embedded subtitles so they have to be extracted to a separate file. Pain number 1. Issue 2 is the dreaded “this video does not support audio” message which in most cases means that there is no sound for bluray ripped to MKV using the TrueHD soundtrack. The TV just doesn’t understand this audio format. So you can either re-rip all of your blurays (can’t be bothered doing that again) OR you install a third party streaming server which thankfully this TV does support. I have gone with Emby which works pretty well with my setup. But the fact that you need to do this tells you that LG have not spent very much time thinking about streaming. Perhaps this could be fixed with a firmware update but I’m guessing that a 2022 TV won’t be fixed. My old Samsung TV had no issues except with the odd subtitled film.

Otherwise a great TV for the money but if you stream MKV’s (expecially subtitled ones) beware.

I love it.
So much better than the Samsung QLED it replaced. That only lasted 2 years, before the display lost complete lines of pixels and sometimes didn’t respond to remote control input.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best so far.

This TV was well reviewed on Amazon and other sites and it hasn’t disappointed. The blacks are true and the picture is super smooth. Netflix looks like it’s in UHD. Plus my Yamaha soundbar sounds so much better when connected to this TV. I highly recommend this TV.

This TV is amazing. It has a stunning picture quality, a sleek design, and a smart interface. It also has a hidden feature that I discovered by accident. If you press the mute button three times in a row, the TV will start playing random sounds from the internet. It’s hilarious. I’ve heard everything from animal noises, to prank calls, to conspiracy theories. It’s like having a comedy show on demand. The only downside is that sometimes the sounds are inappropriate or disturbing, so I wouldn’t recommend doing this in front of children or guests. But other than that, this TV is perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to the future - OLED!

The TV was easy to set up and is very easy to operate. Still early doors so playing around with the settings to get the best results. The picture quality is just amazing and many times better than anything I have had before and I have had some good TVs. The sound is so much better than expected and I now have a spare Echo Studio which is just not needed with this TV. Highly recommended so grab a bargain before stocks run out as the 2023 model is so much dearer.

We bought this to replace our old LED that had got a bit long in the tooth and this is like a different world! The old one seemed a bit less sharp than TV’s we’ve seen at friends houses etc. but we didn’t realise just how blurred the picture had become compared to this. It was fairly easy to set up using the TV itself however since we stream everything through our Apple TV box we haven’t really used the apps that come with LG itself. All I can say is that paired with Apple this TV is brilliant. As some others have said the remote that comes with the TV is pretty clunky and would take some getting used to which makes adjusting any settings to the TV itself, quite awkward but I only used it to set the TV up, since when we use the Apple remote. If you want to alter the TV settings put the model number in YouTube and you’ll find dozens of people telling you which one’s “you must alter”. I did alter one or two settings but really I found the picture out of the box amazing anyway. I can highly recommend this TV especially if you stream everything as we do. It just makes it so much simpler to use a fire stick or Apple 4K box.

Very pleased with both picture & sound quality and compatible with a contemporaneous upgrade to Sky Q and fibre Wi-Fi. The only disadvantage I can see is the ‘ease’ that certain functions, such as Audio Description and Audio Guidance, can be accidentally activated and the subsequent difficulty in reversing unwanted features. Possibly this may become easier with increased familiarity but the swear box is groaning under the weight.

After much research I went for the LG C2. I liked the true black colour you get with the OLED technology, which transforms any video with dark scenes. Can’t really complain about anything…apart from the annoying Alexa thing which keeps asking me what I want to watch. I’m sure I can turn it off in the settings somewhere!

I originally viewed this model in John Lewis, and the assistant made a big thing out of the fact that it has both a 5 year manufacturers guarantee, and a 5 year John Lewis Guarantee. I saw it advertised for slightly less on Amazon, so decided to buy it from there. However it appears I have been misinformed, and it only has a guarantee for 12 months. I should have bought from JL, as it was actually a much better deal.

The picture quality on this TV is excellent, but I found it hard to find and set all the different features to get to a stage where I can just turn it on and use it every day.

The fancy “magic” remote control doesn’t help. You have to use it like a laser pointer to point at options on screen to do almost everything, so if you have shaky hands that is very hard. What’s wrong with buttons on the remote like everyone else has? e.g. pausing playback requires opening a menu, selecting the pause icon on screen and clicking it accurately. Too hard.

Just put the control buttons on the remote. Also, the remote uses Bluetooth so can’t control other set-top boxes that use infra-red. A step backwards for no apparent benefit.

“Filmmaker” mode setting for the picture quality seems to produce the best image from my subjective view. This is also recommended by some technical reviewers I read before I bought the set. It is supposed to make the image look like the creator intended without altering the colour balance etc. Seems to work. All the other default picture modes are far too garish for me.

The TV is designed much more for streaming services than for just Freeview TV. I guess modern folk don’t want to watch TV anymore. It took me 2 and a half hours from unpacking to being able to watch Freeview TV from the aerial and another fortnight before I had kicked it into a state where it stopped showing me adverts, logos and “have a nice day” messages at every opportunity.

The sound is quite adequate from the built-in speakers but again, it needs a bit of tweaking in the hidden settings to get it just right. “Standard” sound setting with a few tweaks to bass and treble seems to be about right for me, but obviously that is a personal subjective matter.

Tv has a great panel for the price range. I find TV Os is becoming more and more infuriating however. Clicking the home page view is stacked with adverts (yes I get this is how the world worlds now) and you can only hide some sections. It becomes difficult to find what you’re looking for in there so intend up using it as little as possible.

great picture. sound is good you can connect sound bar and dvd player, also I have a Humax connected wich is working great. will take me a bit to get used to the new handset but seems to have all I need. was nervous of it being delivered as the courier has a poor rating but it was fine.
very pleased with my purchase. do not phone up about the “code” for the guarantee. its just a scam to try and sell you extra insurance. plus you want endless calls back from a private numbe

So first things first I bought this tv for gaming, and the picture quality does not disappoint. The UI is ok, not as good as Samsung models I’ve been hands-on with, but good enough. The problems begin however, when you get to the quality of the apps. Having loaded up the majority of streaming apps that I use when not gaming, I was slightly annoyed to find that certain apps require an LG account sign-in just to download them (Youtube, Freeview Play, Twitch were the ones for me). And then having created an LG account to register the product online, I could not sign in via either the web browser or tv remote options, having to do so through the phone app. Ok, this isn’t deal breaking, just irritating. The biggest whole issue for me is the outdated apps. As I don’t an aerial connected I have an amazon firestick(a cheap one(20) that has streaming apps with LIVE TV PLAYERS. You would think that a unit which normally retails at 1400 would be loaded up with the latest and greatest software. It isn’t.

Edit(2 months) – Ok I was maybe slightly harsh regarding the apps and so on, the thing that annoys me the most is the wheel on the remote control.

This is an excellent tv more than pleased with the picture quality, sound and over all look.
There was a problem with the “Amazon” side of delivery. As they hadn’t & couldn’t send the pass code to receive the tv when the delivery guy came. even talking with customer services or the delivery guy line manager he had to take the tv back ( which was actually inside our premises) to be delivered again the next day how ridiculous and a waste of everyone time and the environment at using more fuel to redeliver.. Come on Amazon we get the security issues even though we’d answered security questions with customer services this is pretty unbelievable.

Bought to replace my 14 year old Sony Bravia, which was a good TV. Very easy to setup. Picture fantastic. Able to add Netflix, Prime Video, Now TV, Apple TV. The pictures when using these are very detailed. Linked well to a Virgin 360 box. Sony PlayStation 5 is very good, according to my son. When linked to a Sonos Beam, sounds even better. Not so sure about the 12 months warranty though, but time will tell.

There is no doubt that this TV is fantastic, read any review or do any research on this TV and it wins the review. It isn’t hard to see why, you can tweak the options for the picture until it really does look incredible.

However, that said I only gave this 4 out of 5 stars because I am very happy with the TV and although technically, and feature-wise, it is outstanding there are some basics that are just silly.

The Cable
This TV comes with a pre-attached, which is about 2 meters long this model OLED65C26LD (white back) the wire that goes inside the TV. You would need to take the TV apart to disconnect it. I believe that the other model the OLED65C24LA (black/grey back) may to have a cable that you could *possibly* reach without taking the TV apart. Additionally, if you could get the lead out it is some LG specific cable (if you look at the dismantling instructions on LG’s website you can see how to disconnect the cable).

The cable could have simply been something like a C7 cable that fits flush into the back of the TV, where the existing lead is, as this would be easily disconnected and replaced with a longer one if required.

Initial Setup
On initial setup the TV asks if you are watching a variation of TV Only, TV and Set-Top box. It would have been nice to have a Home Theatre selection at this point as I would think that many people buying a TV at this price would have an AV Amp in a Home Theatre setup However, if you are using a Home Theatre system you need to select TV and Set-Top box and then when your device is detected you need to ensure that you select Home Theatre, rather than Sound Bar or any of the other settings that it suggests. While this is very simple to do at initial setup time. It seems that if you just go with what it has detected it seems impossible to change it afterwards (I had to do a factory reset to be able to set the TV up again and get a picture via the AV AMP).
Once you have configured the TV correctly then setup is pretty simple after that, even if you are using a Home Theatre system with ARC/eARC.

Screws
This TV requires M6 25mm screws at the back, this information doesn’t appear to be listed in easy to find places. The manual states that it is an M6 but only when I had the TV could I measure the depth to know that a 25mm screw would go in far enough but not too far.

The Controller
The all the buttons on the controller are black backed and are hard to see in low light they do not light up, they do not glow in the dark and they’re not even silver. It would have been nice for the buttons to be visible in low light situations.

The picture quality is very lovely. It seems it was specifically designed for gaming. Not leaving out the Film mode also. It’s a great product and I’m very happy I got it. I got the 48 inches for my room and I’ll be giving the 65 inches very soon for the house.
Nice produc
