Just superb

For having given me the opportunity to be one of the reviewers for this campaign, I would like to thank The Insiders Team.
One of the reasons I chose OLED is because I heard so much about it, also the TV I replaced was already a decent Full-Array and now I actually have the chance to see the LG Evo OLED for myself in the comfort of my own living room and also enjoy any improvements from the previous unit.
Being the latest model, I have high expectations but I will also be critical if I feel it isn’t up to par. The first thing I noticed was how light it is for its size. Taking a look at the specifications, it is almost 6 kilograms lighter than the C1, at 20.8 kilograms vs. 26.7 kilograms.
LG uses the in-house WebOS for the software. Although navigating around is responsive nothing beats the simpler Android OS. But it does have Google Assistant and Alexa.
First thing first, the picture quality is just superb. There’s no simple way to describe it. I have never seen a TV that looks so good. I have never seen a flat-screen TV with more beautiful colours and I have owned many since 2005. The black is so dark and the contrast really stands out with the C2. It is still bright even when set to 'Standard'.
Watching films with a lot of dark scenes like ‘The Expanse’ and The Carnival is just awesome. It’s eye candy everywhere. All the details are clear. The TV supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG so it adapts very well to any movies that are encoded with any one of those. There are plenty of picture modes to satisfy even the most demanding viewers.
Motion movement is very smooth as I would have expected.
I have no trouble watching content from the USB drive connected to the TV. It works flawlessly.
One of the things with LG, the remote isn’t intuitive as I would have liked which is a little disappointing considering the price tag. I myself have owned a few LGs since 2005. In the dark, it’s very easy to press the wrong button with the most used buttons like changing the volume or channel. They could add a backlight to alleviate this issue or re-arrange the buttons.
The C2 also supports the now mandatory Dolby Atmos for sound, which is fantastic. The built-in speaker isn’t much to talk about. But when you connect it to a soundbar that supports the feature, the sound comes alive.
The connections are all HDMI 2.1 with Variable Refresh Rate or VRR for the gamers. One of the HDMI slots is eARC/ARC. This will allow me to connect to Xbox or PS5 in the future
