As is the norm for LG, HDR10+ isn’t supported by the CX, but standard HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision all are. The company’s 2020 OLEDs also all support the new Dolby Vision IQ format, which tailors the Dolby Vision performance to the ambient light in the room. It’s not as transformative a feature as Dolby would have you believe but, while we were initially underwhelmed when testing the LG GX, we can now see the benefits of Dolby Vision IQ in terms of some extra detail being revealed in dark scenes when there’s a fair bit of light in the room. Tuner regional difference. In this case single for several Western European countries. (6 is also for different countries in Europe, but still includes UK, also single). The stand is quite wide, but the LG CX’s overall footprint is a fair bit narrower than that of sets such as the Sony A8, which has feet at either end of its bottom panel. The CX does sit rather low, though, which could be an issue if you plan to place a soundbar in front of it.

Standard is the go-to recommendation for most content, and works fine with studio broadcasts and sports coverage, but Vivid, often reviled because of its heavy saturation, is a real crowdpleaser too, particularly with superhero movies that use a denuded colour palette and animations designed to pop. In addition to the new webOS, LG has also revised its menus, making them aesthetically a little more appealing. LG C1: Verdict There isn’t a Dolby Vision IQ setting in the TV’s menus, but if you’re watching Dolby Vision content and the AI Brightness Control feature is enabled, you’re watching IQ. 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.

Conclusion

if you are new to OLED or looking for an excellent all rounder, the C1 is hard to beat at the price point. Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying small white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits)

LG gets around this to a certain extent by using virtualisation. AI Sound Pro enlarges the soundstage and sharpens dialogue for standard content. Dolby Atmos decoding is switched in when it's detected, a virtual height channel offering faux immersion. 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. The LG C1 didn't disappoint at launch in any way –and even a year on it's a stellar OLED option to consider.As we did with the 65-inch version we factory reset the LG 55C1 and then measured the picture presets to find which is the most accurate to the industry standards, out of the box, so we can view content as it was mastered and intended to be seen. Like all recent LG OLED TVs, the best preset for this is Filmmaker Mode (FMM) which switches off all unwanted processing with accurate colour and white balance retained. ISF bright and dark modes are also accurate for colour and white balance, but they do have picture processing switched on as a default, so you would need to switch these off manually. Filmmaker Mode is a one-button press solution that is free from any tampering from processing. It has no motion interpolation switched on and hits gamma BT.1886, D65 white and Rec.709 colour for SDR and BT.2020 colour, and ST.2084 PQ EOTF for HDR. On the C1, the out of the box OLED Pixel Brightness in FMM is set to 25 which equals 100 nits for dark room viewing, however, you can adjust the brightness to match your room conditions.
