However, overall the TVs are very similar, and if you aren't going to wall-mount it, the C1 is likely the better choice for you.

LG OLED65G1 Evo OLED TV review | What Hi-Fi?

We'll be starting a new burn-in test shortly to try to determine how effective each of these new panel technologies are at reducing the risk of burn-in, so our estimated burn-in risk score may change. The new evo panel allows it to get brighter than the LG GX OLED, but if you truly care about brightness, you'll go for an LED TV anyways. Below that is the ‘Trending Now’ bar: then the new position for the app list, a row of physical/digital inputs and smart connections, frequently viewed programmes (seems I enjoy Pointless), and rows of content from various apps: Rakuten, YouTube, iPlayer, ITV Hub and so on.There's no blooming around bright objects in dark scenes, and bright white pixels are displayed perfectly even if they're surrounded by black pixels. SD SDR drops in quality with predictable softness and lack of detail, but colours match their HD counterparts for accuracy, and there’s reasonably robust definition of edges too. On the upside, the previous long bar of apps had started to become unwieldy, so it makes sense to shift towards the new content recommendation approach.

LG G1 OLED Evo (OLED55G1) review: Picture perfect | Trusted

These two improvements instantly help the G1 deliver a more satisfying and ‘complete’ HDR performance than any LG OLED before. It delivers the same exceptional picture quality as other OLEDs with a near-infinite contrast ratio and perfect black uniformity. Judder is visible with his legs, while the TV also struggles to bind its processing to hand movements. It's also good to use in well-lit rooms for watching sports or TV shows as it has fantastic reflection handling, and the wide viewing angles make it suitable for wide seating areas. Not many 48 to 50-inch TVs managed four stars and, once again, we've got a split between luminance and colour deviation.We uploaded the latest brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test. The EOTF follows the target curve pretty well until there's a sharp roll off at its peak brightness, but some dark scenes are slightly too dark. This is because the Atmos setting sees loud soundtrack moments becoming strangely muted instead of them ‘blowing up’ like they’re supposed to (and like they do well in AI Sound Pro mode).

The Dolby Vision support sits alongside regular HDR10 and HLG HDR format support – though as always with LG TVs, there’s no support for the HDR10+ system (which operates similarly to Dolby Vision, but is used on fewer services). Some TVs can't cope with not being the centre of attention, so we've picked some that look good whatever angle you're watching them from. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit. We use a variety of scenes and screen measuring images designed to represent certain brightness outputs.So while it doesn't quite shatter the OLED rule book in the way some had hoped, the OLED G1's new Evo panel in conjunction with LG's latest processing engine delivers comfortably the best OLED TV LG has ever made. This now joins the best of the automatic picture optimisation systems around, clearly enhancing pretty much every aspect of picture quality from every video source without, crucially, generating really any unwanted side effects. First, where an HDR image is mostly full of bright content, the LG G1 presents it with much more full-screen brightness than we’re used to seeing with ‘regular’ OLED TVs. Not that this Alpha 9 Generation 4 processor stops at optimising pictures to the capabilities of the evo panel, though.

There are also one or two other issues, such as the potential for flickering while gaming in VRR, the intrusion of a faint magenta tone when viewing from really extreme angles, and an occasional tendency to exaggerate compression noise with some streaming sources. So, for instance, shots of leafy and sun-drenched woodland appear to have more individual leaf definition, and greens avoid the slightly radioactive appearance they can sometimes exhibit on OLED screens. standards, while some very welcome new gaming flexibility comes courtesy of a new Game Optimiser system. br>
The hub of your home entertainment – with voice control
Featuring LG’s ThinQ AI technology, you can control a Home IoT ecosystem with natural voice recognition. It has fantastic reflection handling if you want to use it in a well-lit room, but its peak brightness is only okay.This is obviously one part of our TV testing - if you want to find out more about our full test programme, then go to how we test televisions. Using a huge database of over one million visual date points, AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. It’s the best image quality I’ve reviewed on any LG OLED, and right up there with some of the best-looking images I’ve seen on any TV. The TV has a unique slim design meant to sit flush against the wall with its dedicated wall mount, and it doesn't come with a stand.
