The LG C1 doesn't move the needle much from the CX, but it's one of the best all-round performing TVs you can buy
Super gaming performance ; Excellent contrast and sumptuous HDR ; Wide-ranging connectivity and smarts
Weak sound ; Not the strongest motion stability ; Potential for image retention/burn-in
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
The people's OLED TV
Good tonal details ; Exciting, punchy picture ; Brilliant for gamers
Sound could do with more punch
Simply one of the easiest to live with TVs you’ll find anywhere, this LG OLED is an excellent choice
Expert review by : Nick Pino (techradar.com)
The C1 OLED is one of the best TVs we've seen in 2021, and a very good option for a cheaper OLED in 2022
Beautiful 4K/HDR picture ; Four HDMI 2.1 ports ; WebOS is fantastic
Reflective glass surface ; Reddish hues in faces ; No HDR10+
Although there's a newer model available, the LG C1 OLED remains one of the best TVs at any price. It’s missing the new OLED evo panels going into the G1 OLED, but even in their absence the C1 produces colorful, bright and rich pictures with support...

Our LG C1 review reveals how LG's mid-range OLED holds on to its crown as the best OLED TV for most people
Sensational picture quality ; Game Optimizer ; Excellent connectivity
No HDR10+ ; Middling audio performance ; New webOS lacks customisation options
The LG C1 brings extra sharpness and refinements to its images, and connectivity and features remain at the head of the pack. Another smash hit.

Does the C1 suffer without the G1's OLED Evo panel?
Superb all-round picture quality ; Near-flawless feature set ; Better remote and menu system
Marginal gains on last year’s CX ; Unengaging audio
The C1 isn’t much of a step-up from the CX, but it didn’t need to be – this is a superb TV at a competitive price
Expert review by : Steve Withers (pocket-lint.com)
LG continues to supply impressive OLED prowess. But should the G1 Evo lure you away as the better, brighter option?
Impressive picture quality ; Dolby Vision and Atmos support ; Comprehensive smart system ; Incredibly low input lag
Limited peak brightness for high dynamic range (HDR) ; Possibility of image retention ; No HDR10+ format support
LG continues to dominate the mid-range 4K OLED TV market with another impressive offering combining superb picture quality, a comprehensive smart platform, and excellent gaming features. Only the lack of HDR10+ format support disappoints, but otherwise...

It doesn't have the Evo panel of the G1 but the LG C1 is the best OLED TV of 2021 so far. Find out why in our full review
Dynamic, detailed image quality ; 120Hz HDMI inputs ; Game Optimizer menu ; Stylish design
Limited webOS customisation ; Functional audio ; No HDR10+
The C1 is LG's OLED hero screen for 2021. Picture quality is outstanding, thanks to an array of AI-driven enhancements, and it's well equipped for movie fans and gamers alike

C1 succeeds CX as LG's feature-packed mainstream OLED TV
Excellent HD and 4K HDR ; HDMI 2.1 ports & features (4K HFR, VRR) ; Gaming features ; Improved remote control ; New 83" size
New webOS feels like a downgrade ; webOS not receiving updates ; Raised blacks in VRR ; Rear-facing ports
