Our take on the LG OLED83C1
The LG C1 is a 4K OLED TV in the 83-inch size, built on self-lit pixels that switch off completely for true blacks and near-infinite contrast. It covers the gaming side well: four HDMI 2.1 ports, variable refresh rate, high frame rate support and Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It suits people who want a big-screen movie and console-gaming set in a bright or dark room, and it holds up against Samsung's QN90 Neo QLED on contrast and viewing angles, though the QLED goes brighter. Reviewers rate the C1 line highly for picture quality and gaming features; the main complaints are OLED brightness limits in bright rooms and the risk of permanent image retention.
- Per-pixel OLED contrast with perfect blacks
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports with VRR and HFR
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support
- Wide viewing angles with little color shift
- webOS with all major streaming apps
- Slim panel that mounts close to the wall
What reviewers say
Reviewers consistently praise the C1 for its contrast, gaming features and processing, and call it one of the best OLED TVs of its generation. Owners like the picture and the four 2.1 ports. Complaints center on brightness in bright rooms and worry about burn-in.
- Picture qualityPraisedOwners describe deep blacks, rich color and strong contrast that hold up in dark rooms.
- Gaming featuresPraisedReviewers highlight the four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR and low lag for consoles and PCs.
- BrightnessCriticisedReviewers say peak brightness trails the brightest LED TVs, so bright rooms wash out HDR.
Questions and answers
- Is the LG C1 good for gaming?
- Yes. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, high frame rate support and low input lag, which covers PS5, Xbox Series X and PC gaming.
- How does the C1 compare with the C2?
- The C2 is brighter and has a faster processor, but the C1 keeps the same OLED contrast and four 2.1 ports. The C1 is the better value if brightness is not critical.
- Will I get burn-in on this OLED?
- Burn-in is possible with static logos or tickers shown for long periods. Vary content, use the screen-shift and logo-dimming settings, and the risk stays low for most viewers.
- Does it support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It handles Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and decodes Dolby Atmos, though you need an external sound system to hear Atmos properly.
- Can I wall-mount the 83-inch model?
- Yes, it uses a standard VESA mount, but the panel weighs over 70 lb without the stand, so use a mount rated for the size and two people to lift it.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, its stand, a magic remote, batteries and a power cable. HDMI cables are not included.
- What do buyers say about the LG OLED83C1?
- Rated 3.7 out of 5 from 8 ratings.
