About this deal

For gamers and fast action TV lovers there is the added addition of a 1ms response time coupled with HDMI 2.1 tech with 40-120Hz capabilitywhich means you will never miss a thing and theOLED65C14LBcan cope without any input lag! New this year is NVIDIA G-Sync and AMDFreesync with a detailed Game Optimizer to maximise your playing experience. While the C1 generally over delivers on the video front, its audio performance is less stand-out. The screen has volume – output is rated at 40W cumulative - and boasts Dolby Atmos decoding, but the physical speaker configuration is limited by the set’s cabinet design. In terms of sound, AI Sound Enhancement now has height virtualisation. The new Auto Volume Levelling feature is designed to reduce jarring volume differences as you switch between different apps and sources. Starting with Rogue One in Dolby Vision from the Disney+ app, it becomes clear that little has changed from the CX. With both sets side-by-side, it’s hard to spot any differences – the C1 is just a little richer in its reds and purer in its whites, but that could just as easily be down to panel variation as to a change in TV model. The key picture presets here are Standard, Vivid, and Cinema Home. All three impress. There’s also a dedicated Filmmaker Mode, regular Cinema, Eco, plus some ISF settings – Expert (Bright Room) and Expert (Dark Room).

The LG C1 didn't disappoint at launch in any way –and even a year on it's a stellar OLED option to consider.

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. Here we see the fruits of a radical full-screen reimagining, and it’s largely successful. Please note: Failure to produce the card and relevant ID means we are unable to release goods on collection. This is partly because the LG OLED65C14LB continues its maker’s streak of making some of the best sets you can buy, but mainly because you have a notable amount of choice when it comes investing in your next big screen. Having seen LG dominate the market for the past few years, the likes of Sony and Samsung have really pulled out their fingers to offer some serious competition and cash in on the inflated viewership of this summer’s major sporting events. Is its C1 set still the reigning MVP? Let’s get into it. A story of fine-tuning 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.

After their year apart in 2020, LG and Freeview Play have reunited for 2021, which means UK buyers of the C1 and its siblings get access to the full suite of core catch-up apps, including BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4 and My5. These weren’t live when we tested our early sample of the G1, but they are present on the C1. The set ships with a newly downsized Magic Remote control, which sits a little easier in the hand. This features dedicated buttons here for Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Rakuten TV, plus has Google Assistant and Alexa shortcuts.Electronic World TV, the home of cheap tvs, brings you the stunning 2021/2022OLED65C14LB. Combining the very latest OLED advancements and amazing upgrades theOLED65C14LB is at the very pinnacle of TV ownership. Unfortunately, Netflix is missing from this aggregation, as it is from many similar systems, and that rather hampers its usefulness. The intelligence of the recommendations is somewhat questionable, too, with shows for kids often being promoted long after most children will be in bed, for example. Of course, a set can only learn so much over our review period and you might find that the quality of the recommendations improves over time. In addition to the new webOS, LG has also revised its menus, making them aesthetically a little more appealing. LG C1: Verdict

Switching to Blade Runner 2049 in HDR10, the similarities between the C1 and its predecessor continue. It’s a fabulously punchy and detailed picture with a colour balance that never looks anything other than entirely correct despite the many challenges that the film creates, such as the yellow-lit rooms of the Wallace Corporation and the lush forest of Dr Stelline’s fabricated memory. The C1 delivers lots of ‘wow, that’s better than last year’ moments. Motion handling is particularly noteworthy, courtesy of some clever new image interpolation techniques. Connectivity is accomplished. All four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1, and support 4K 120Hz (capped at 40Gbps @ 10-bit 4:4:4, for those who follow such specifics), making the set an obvious partner for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. 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 C1 isn’t much of an improvement on its predecessor, but there wasn’t much that needed improving. The picture performance and feature set were already exemplary, and LG has slightly improved the former with its new Cinematic Movement motion processing and enhanced de-contouring feature, and slightly improved the latter with a better menu system and a more complete app selection.

Wall brackets

The major image changes in the LG C1 compared to 2020's LG CX are in the processing, which uses a year's worth of advancement in so-called 'AI' enhancements, which enable the TV to recognise more specific types of scenes, and to make custom adjustments that make the images look as good as possible depending on what's being shown.
