A powerful winning machine

The C2’s color performance is nearly perfect. The above charts show the TV’s measured color values with an SDR signal in ISF Calibrated (Bright) mode compared with Rec.709 broadcast standards, and with an HDR signal in Cinema mode compared with DCI-P3 digital cinema standards. It hits the Rec.709 values spot-on, which is excellent, but also a very common feat for many TVs. The big surprise is the DCI-P3 performance. The C2 delivers equally impressive colour rendition, with DCI-P3 coverage of 99%. This delivers the full benefits of HDR’s wider colour gamut, and when combined with the increased brightness, images are often breathtaking. The opening sequence of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is a great example, with bright specular highlights combined with gorgeously saturated primaries. There are also terrestrial and satellite tuners, a 3.5mm audio output, an optical digital output, an Ethernet port, three USB ports (two 2.0 and one 3.0), and a common interface slot. In terms of wireless connections, there’s built-in dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and support for Apple AirPlay 2.

We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.

Dazzling darks, luminous lights

Internet connection required. Subscriptions and data costs may apply. Content, features and third party services will vary from time to time without notice. Compatible controller required, sold separately. Switching to Filmmaker mode still leaves the energy saving “Eco” setting at Auto. This adjusts the brightness of the image depending on the amount of ambient light, and unfortunately, turning it off isn’t intuitive. You’ll need to go to All Settings – General – OLED Care – Device Self Care – Energy Saving – Energy Saving Step, and switch this setting from Auto to Off. You’re now free to set the overall brightness of the Filmmaker mode to your personal preference. LG has spent the last few years improving the motion handling of its OLED TVs, and this area of the C2’s performance is excellent. The TruMotion menu offers five different options: Off, Cinematic Movement, Natural, Smooth Movement, and User Selection. Anyone particularly susceptible to the effects of motion smoothing on film-based content will want to turn TruMotion off (or select Filmmaker Mode), but others will enjoy experimenting with the different settings. The newly expanded game hub is excellent, popping up when the Settings button is pressed, and offering all the key game-related information and controls in a clearly laid-out interface. These include genre settings, a Dark Room mode for more comfortable HDR gaming in a darkened room or at night, and settings for the wider 21:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios – when supported.
