And it really is a fabulous performance. This isn't a downgraded flagship TV - it's a down sized flagship TV. It offers the same performance and features as its bigger brothers in the CX range which, let's remember, also match the more expensive GX, RX and WX in terms of picture quality and processing , but in a smaller, more lounge-friendly package.
The performance is superb. The perfect blacks and near-perfect viewing angles we're used to from OLED, combined with bright, punchy whites and vibrant but natural colours. LG's motion processing in was excellent, too, and its OLEDs continue to impress in terms of upscaling p and standard-def content. On top of all that you get certified HDMI 2.
Those last two features will be of particular appeal to those gamers looking to make the most of a PS5 or Xbox Series X. The CX might have been superseded by the C1 above but the CX remains a great buy, especially if you can pick one up at a discount. We've already covered the new inch version of the CX above, but it's worth remembering that the inch model is still available and arguably offers better value for money.
For not a huge amount more, you get seven extra inches of OLED panel real estate and all of the excellent picture qualities and advanced features of its smaller sibling. It sounds a bit better, too, thanks to the bigger chassis, although the CX isn't the best-sounding TV in its class. With the 55in CX having been outshone by the newer, 55in C1, you might well be able to score this TV at a significantly reduced price online.
Without any real 8K content available, the higher resolution of a 7, by 4, screen isn't worth the extra expense. LG's 8K sets look fantastic, but we're not recommending anybody spend their money on an 8K TV this year. Find out more in our article Should you buy an 8K TV in ? When shopping for a new TV, settling on your brand of choice may answer some questions, such as your choice of smart TV platform or preferred voice assistant, but it's only part of the decision-making process.
Once you've decided that you like LG smart TVs, you'll still need to determine which model you want, with questions of features, performance and pricing that still need consideration.
Thankfully, our in-depth reviews dig into the specifics of each model line, helping you to understand which LG models have certain defining features, and which offer the best value for the price. Here are the defining price and features of the different LG OLED models to help you decide which best fits your needs and budget. Interested in a specific TV brand, price range or screen size?
Check out our picks for the best TVs in each. Included in this guide: 1. Specifications Available Screen Sizes: 48, 55, 65, 77 inches. Its sleek OLED screen design stands out compared to the other TVs on this list -- although the ultra-thin OLED models are even sleeker -- it offers better features and image quality than budget models like the TCL 4-Series, and it comes in a vast array of sizes.
Read our Samsung Q60A series review. Most of the TVs on this list are bright enough for just about any room, but maybe you want a screen that's as bright as possible. The U8G outshines others in its price range and was basically as bright as the significantly more expensive Samsung QN90A.
Its image quality falls a bit short in other areas and its selection of sizes is limited, but if raw brightness is what you crave, the U8G delivers. Read our Hisense U8G series review. Our TV reviews follow a rigorous, unbiased evaluation process honed over nearly two decades of TV reviews.
In every CNET TV review, three or more similar TVs are compared side-by-side in various lighting conditions with different content, including movies, TV shows and games, across a variety of test categories, from color to video processing to gaming to HDR. I'll post the answers to commonly asked TV questions below.
If you have any others, feel free to reach out on Twitter dkatzmaier , or by clicking the little envelope icon on my CNET profile page. Doing so will let you send a message straight to my inbox. In my opinion bigger is better, and your money is best spent on large screen sizes rather than a slight upgrade in image quality. The answer also depends on room size and seating distance: If you have a big room and sit further away, you'll want a bigger TV.
At nine feet away, for example, we recommend a or inch TV. Burn-in is when part of an image -- for example a channel logo, news ticker or a scoreboard on a TV -- persists as a ghostly background no matter what else appears onscreen.
The best way to prevent burn-in is to vary what you watch. In any case we don't consider the built-in smart TV system that important because you can always connect a streaming device to any TV. Since their debut five years ago, each successive C model OLED has been plastered on buses and TV ads, and featured in articles in magazines including our own once or twice. The same is true of the C1.
TVs in the range feature the same Alpha 9 fourth-gen processor that's found in the G1 series above, but they don't have the OLED evo screen. This means they won't be as bright, but for colour and detail there shouldn't be much difference. We're pleased to see the inch version continuing, so anyone who wants a smaller OLED can get one. It's not just OLEDs that are getting improvements in backlit models are too. This is a significant increase and should lead to LCD TVs with better contrast control and less blooming, which is where bright parts of the screen spread into darker parts, like a child going over the lines when colouring in.
The fourth-gen Alpha 9 processor is powering this new display, so detail shouldn't be an issue in 4K content, but the MiniLED 99 is an 8K set, so the Alpha 9's real challenge is upscaling 4K footage to an 8K standard. Because it's an 8K set and features a new for display technology, the MiniLED 99 is expensive and sizes start at 75 inches.
It's a fair bit cheaper as a result, but you need to look elsewhere if you're after a TV smaller than 75 inches. The processor is different from the MiniLED 99, too. It uses the Alpha 7 rather than the Alpha 9 processor. In theory this should mean colour and detail aren't as good, but in our tests of TVs with previous iterations of the processors we haven't seen a gulf in quality — not big enough to warrant the extra expense of buying an Alpha 9-equipped TV, anyway.
This is the most affordable QNED. It's available in a smaller size than other QNED ranges, although 65 inches is still pretty hefty. It also has a 60Hz screen rather than a Hz one. That means the image won't be as smooth when playing games that support such a high frame rate the number of times per second the screen can refresh the image. That underlying backlight technology is still the same though, and that's of more interest than the frame rate, since you should see the benefit on everything you watch, not just games and the limited amount of video content that supports Hz.
Read on to see the differences between the ranges and links to the review to learn more and see our expert verdicts. When LG puts 'Signature' in the name of one of its TVs or appliances, it means it's something special. These devices represent LG at its finest, with the latest technology, cutting-edge features and striking designs. They usually cost a fortune, too.
But when you realise that the screen rolls up into that base, it starts to make more sense. Not everyone wants a large screen dominating their living room, so having one that can disappear entirely is a tempting prospect.
When it's fully unfurled, the RX should be a force to be reckoned with. It uses the latest third-generation Alpha 9 processor, which should optimise SD, HD and 4K content better than ever by analysing and sharpening everything on screen. It will provide a welcome boost to HDR, too. The OLED display measures 65 inches. It's 4K rather than 8K, possibly because LG hasn't been able to roll up an 8K display yet, but that's not a reason to be put off — 8K content is non-existent.
Resolution and rolling aside, the two Signatures are similar. The third-generation Alpha 9 processor is present on both, but its importance, and challenge, is even greater here.
It's not enough to make sure everything looks close to 4K; it needs to look 8K, otherwise the ZX is a pricey waste of space, as there's no actual 8K content available. Filmmaker Mode is an interesting new addition. It's found on many of LG's high-end sets, and it's designed to strip away the post-processing effects that the TV adds to content, so that what you watch is true to the filmmakers' original vision.
The original Signature TV is still an impressive-looking set, even if its style hasn't changed much since it debuted three years ago.
It's known as the Wallpaper TV, and with good reason. The TV manages this feat by housing most of the components in a sound-bar-style base that's connected to the TV by one almost transparent wire. The look may not have changed since its launch, but the internals have. The WX now uses the third-generation Alpha 9 processor, so its picture quality should be sharper than ever, with particular attention being paid to HDR footage.
