I recently purchased the LG OLED 77C2 and have been absolutely amazed by the quality and, surprisingly, the simplicity of the TV. This is definitely a TV that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Having previously come from a flagship 4K HDR TV that utilised Quantum Dot LED with full-array local dimming, I was hoping and expecting to see a higher quality, more detailed, image when it came to dark scenes containing lots of finer details. I was not disappointed. The amount of visible detail in the darkest scenes is astonishing. No more blooming/halo effect.
It's not just dark scenes where this TV shines, with bright, colourful scenes looking just as spectacular, thanks to the new improvements that introduced in this years model. While it doesn't compete with the eye watering brightness of some LED TVs. It gets more than bright enough, especially if you can control the lighting levels of the room you're watching it in.
The overall use of the TV has possibly been the best experience I've had with a TV yet. For the most part everything has just worked (except a few minor items). Connecting a different brand Atmos soundbar worked simply by connecting it via HDMI, the XBox Series X is able to connect with Dolby Vision and ATMOS. The standard apps are all installed and ready to go. Cinema mode and auto film maker mode provide a pretty good picture quality out of the box (even better after a few tweaks).
The TV has been able to handle the 4K 120Hz thrown at it by the Xbox Series X without a struggle. Automatically switching over to game mode, reducing input lag, enabling vrr, and tweaking the graphics slightly, that and the nice large 77 inches, makes gaming a real engaging and pleasurable experience.
One of the things I think that could be improved is the remote. It's a bit of an outdated, oversized, overcomplicated, cheap feeling bit of plastic. I do like that it is a magic remote, and jumping between apps using the dedicated buttons makes switching between apps fast (incredibly fast). However, it just seems like, at this price point, it could be a bit more refined with and possibly with a metal finish.
Not everything has been flawless with the TV, but so far I have been able to find a way to resolve my issues with a little digging. For example; Dobly ATMOS would not work with Netflix out of the box (all other apps were fine). To get ATMOS working with netflix, I had to disable ATMOS on the internal speakers before it worked on the soundbar.
