There’s good clarity to dialogue and effects, and the Dolby Atmos mode creates quite a large and spacious soundstage.

Xbox One X and One S gamers can take advantage of these features now, and both will be supported by the next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X. We’d recommend going for a full home cinema set-up if you have the space and bank balance, but even a relatively affordable soundbar, such as the Sonos Beam, will provide a significant uptick in audio performance.

With the stand detached and the TV hung on a wall, the CX looks much like any other 2020 OLED: a pure black panel surrounded by a super-slim, flush, black bezel with no branding. You never question the CX’s interpretation of the source material, and that’s one of the greatest compliments that can be paid to a TV.

Switching to standard HDR10 with The Hunt from the Apple TV app, and while there’s the inevitable slight drop in crispness when compared to watching a disc, the picture is still undeniably lovely. 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. The OLED55CX’s key rivals this year will be the Sony KD-55A8 (the XBR-55A8H in the US), the Samsung QE55Q90T (QN55Q90T in the US and QA55Q90T in Australia), and the Philips 55OLED805 and Panasonic TX-55HZ1000, neither of which is available in the US or Australia.While Dolby Vision IQ has won us round somewhat, the same cannot be said of Filmmaker Mode, another new feature for LG’s 2020 OLEDs. We’re committed to providing home electronics that work best for the way you live and to keeping you updated with the latest technological advances. Gone is the launcher bar at the bottom of the screen, replaced with a full-screen smart TV menu system which fills the entire viewable image area.

Compared with its predecessor, the CX offers more dark detail, richer colours and better motion and, when added to an already exemplary performance, that makes for an astonishingly capable all-round performer. In terms of features, both models have the same major features of HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision with IQ present and correct, but the remote control and WebOS smart TV system have been updated on the C1 along with the full line-up for Freeview Play.Low and Medium work the best without any noticeable flicker, but it was also noted that there was no apparent improvement in motion resolution.
