Product Information

Please note: Item is supplied with minor marks on the surface of the screen / stand. They can be seen on close inspection when the item is off but easily blend in when watching. Please see attached photos for more details***​ The C1 delivers lots of ‘wow, that’s better than last year’ moments. Motion handling is particularly noteworthy, courtesy of some clever new image interpolation techniques.

For gamers and fast action TV lovers there is the added addition of a 1ms response time coupled with HDMI 2.1 tech with 40-120Hz capabilitywhich means you will never miss a thing and theOLED65C14LBcan cope without any input lag! New this year is NVIDIA G-Sync and AMDFreesync with a detailed Game Optimizer to maximise your playing experience. This is partly because the LG OLED65C14LB continues its maker’s streak of making some of the best sets you can buy, but mainly because you have a notable amount of choice when it comes investing in your next big screen. Having seen LG dominate the market for the past few years, the likes of Sony and Samsung have really pulled out their fingers to offer some serious competition and cash in on the inflated viewership of this summer’s major sporting events. Is its C1 set still the reigning MVP? Let’s get into it. A story of fine-tuning

LG OLED-C14LB

In addition to the new webOS, LG has also revised its menus, making them aesthetically a little more appealing. LG C1: Verdict Unfortunately, Netflix is missing from this aggregation, as it is from many similar systems, and that rather hampers its usefulness. The intelligence of the recommendations is somewhat questionable, too, with shows for kids often being promoted long after most children will be in bed, for example. Of course, a set can only learn so much over our review period and you might find that the quality of the recommendations improves over time. A Cinematic Movement option that controls the level of frame merging is particularly effective, and all but eliminates the horrid soap opera effect (if you’re a fan, Smooth is still available).

In terms of sound, AI Sound Enhancement now has height virtualisation. The new Auto Volume Levelling feature is designed to reduce jarring volume differences as you switch between different apps and sources. After their year apart in 2020, LG and Freeview Play have reunited for 2021, which means UK buyers of the C1 and its siblings get access to the full suite of core catch-up apps, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5. These weren’t live when we tested our early sample of the G1, but they are present on the C1.For most people, though, little tweaking will be necessary. Dolby Vision content will by default activate the Dolby Vision Cinema Home preset and AI Brightness Setting, and that equates to a Dolby Vision IQ performance. It’s worth leaving these settings as they are, as the performance is in line with our expectations of Dolby Vision, and the IQ element improves dark detail when viewing in a well-lit room without tampering with the performance under ideal conditions. And finally, if you're looking for the absolute best-of-best OLED quality then take a look at the LG G2 instead (2022's flagship). It's a step up in the range and in evolution, delivering the brightest OLED image to date. It's not nearly as cheap though! The AI Upscaling, Clearer Text and Auto Genre Selection features are unchanged, but Object Enhancement has been upgraded. There’s also a brand new Scene Detection feature. The Gen4 processor also brings with it improvements to de-contouring, which should result in less banding of colours, and to the dynamic tone mapping algorithm, which LG says results in better contrast and less haloing around bright objects. The C1 isn’t much of an improvement on its predecessor, but there wasn’t much that needed improving. The picture performance and feature set were already exemplary, and LG has slightly improved the former with its new Cinematic Movement motion processing and enhanced de-contouring feature, and slightly improved the latter with a better menu system and a more complete app selection.

While the C1 generally over delivers on the video front, its audio performance is less stand-out. The screen has volume – output is rated at 40W cumulative - and boasts Dolby Atmos decoding, but the physical speaker configuration is limited by the set’s cabinet design. Oddly, while the Magic Remote made sense with the old-style webOS, it feels a little at odds with the new full-screen webOS v6.0; the on-screen cursor is an almost redundant affectation. Dolby Vision IQand Dolby Atmos finish off things perfectly with amazing room filling sound and amazing visuals to bring the cinema experience to your living room.On the plus side, LG has also finally overhauled its settings menus. The rather ugly and convoluted menus have been replaced by a system with larger fonts, a less severe white-on-grey colour scheme and a far more logical layout, all without sacrificing opportunities for tweaking performance. The set ships with a newly downsized Magic Remote control, which sits a little easier in the hand. This features dedicated buttons here for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Rakuten TV, plus has Google Assistant and Alexa shortcuts. Please note: Failure to produce the card and relevant ID means we are unable to release goods on collection. Ultimately, you should budget for a separate sound system to accompany your new TV. A Sonos Beam would be a huge improvement on the C1’s speakers, but an Arc is a more deserving partner if you aren't in a position to go for a full home cinema system. Verdict

We have now started delivering right to your door! Alternatively you can collect free of charge from one of our 7 branches (see steps below) There are seemingly small, but significant improvements to picture handling too. The set runs the brand’s 4th-gen Alpha 9 image engine, with AI enhanced image processing. It’s astonishingly powerful. The LG C1 didn't disappoint at launch in any way –and even a year on it's a stellar OLED option to consider. LG’s webOS smart platform was once the gold standard for smart connectivity, but it became increasingly unwieldy as more and more functions were added. Here we see the fruits of a radical full-screen reimagining, and it’s largely successful. Having won over home cinema fans with its OLEDs, LG has its sights set on wooing gamers even more than previous models. The C1 has support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), NVIDIA G-Sync, and AMD FreeSync, as well as ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). There’s also eARC, for routing sound out of the screen into one of the best soundbars– although bear in mind that the low stand means there's little scope to sit a soundbar in front of the panel without obscuring the screen.

One of the 'Top' TVs

Electronic World TV, the home of cheap tvs, brings you the stunning 2021/2022OLED65C14LB. Combining the very latest OLED advancements and amazing upgrades theOLED65C14LB is at the very pinnacle of TV ownership. The key picture presets here are Standard, Vivid, and Cinema Home. All three impress. There’s also a dedicated Filmmaker Mode, regular Cinema, Eco, plus some ISF settings – Expert (Bright Room) and Expert (Dark Room). LG’s AI Picture Pro picture system has had a deep learning performance bump this season which allows it to better optimise and analyse images in real time; it seems HD upscaling is also a beneficiary. While the LG C1 isn’t the total no-brainer it once was, it still hits the televisual sweet spot. It’s always tough to try and describe picture quality in overly florid sentences, but the precision you get from this set is a joy to behold. This is the kind of telly that makes you want to watch more telly, which, given the year we’ve all spent indoors, really is saying something. Given how infrequently most folks buy a new TV, I’d also give it the nod over last year’s CX just for the sake of having the most current feature set possible. App happy, again Firing up Thor: Ragnarok, also in HDR10, we’re able to appreciate the improvements to de-contouring, with the banding in the red portion of the Marvel logo being significantly reduced on the C1, compared with the CX.
