It displays a wide color gamut, making it a good choice for watching HDR movies, and it supports Dolby Vision, but not HDR10+. However, the main downside to this is that there's still lots of blooming around bright objects, which could get distracting while watching movies. Although it has an IPS-like panel with a low native contrast ratio, the Mini LED backlighting provides greater control over the local dimming, which helps improve the contrast to display deep blacks. Unfortunately, our unit has some uniformity issues with some dirty screen effect in the center, distracting during sports. It has all the gaming features fans of LG TVs are used to, like HDMI 2.1 inputs, VRR support, a 120Hz panel, and low input lag. It has a flicker-free backlight at all brightness levels, which helps reduce eye strain, and motion looks smooth thanks to the great response time.
This TV gets very bright, and combined with its decent reflection handling, visibility shouldn't be an issue in most rooms. It's a very good overall TV that's well-rounded for most uses, and most people should be pleased with it. It's a high-end TV part of the new QNED lineup, which uses Mini LED backlighting. The best LG TV we've tested in the 4k LED category is the LG QNED90. All in all, this is one of the best LG TVs you can buy. Despite its limited brightness, HDR content also looks great due to its near-infinite contrast and wide color gamut. OLEDs are also limited in terms of brightness, but this TV still gets bright, so while we don't recommend it for very bright rooms, it can still overcome glare in moderately lit settings. That said, it shouldn't be an issue if you watch varied content, and LG OLEDs come with a few settings to help reduce the risk. The biggest downside to OLED TVs is that they're susceptible to permanent burn-in if you display content with static elements, like a channel logo or game HUD, for very long periods.
More serious gamers should also appreciate its low input lag, variable refresh rate (VRR) support, and four HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing you to take full advantage of the 4k 120Hz capabilities of the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X. It also has a nearly instantaneous response time that results in exceptionally smooth motion in sports and video games. That makes it a great choice for movies or dark room gaming. Like all OLEDs, it has self-lit pixels that can turn off individually to produce a near-infinite contrast ratio and pitch-perfect blacks with no visible blooming. It's similar to the LG G1 OLED, which has the new evo panel, but for the cost, it's worth getting the C1. The LG C1 OLED is the best LG TV we've tested with an OLED panel.
