Review on 55" TV LG OLED55C2RLA 2022 HDR, OLED, dark titanium by Micha Kobiaka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

In the picture, this TV is definitely the leader! Supports high DOLBY standards. The same LG matrix is ​​also used in premium TV brands such as SONY, Stuart Hughes and others. But there is a problem with the sound. To match the sound to the quality of the picture, you will have to connect an additional sound system. The TV processor does not cope well enough with 4K content, and even more noticeably slows down when playing 8K video resolution. It is still not clear why the manufacturer did not use an anti-reflective screen coating on such a bright and saturated matrix? After all, many obviously weaker screens have a matte finish that does not give you glare that tires you out, why don't LG fight glare on their screens?

Pros
  • Amazing picture, juicy, contrasting, bright! At high brightness, colors even turn into acidic shades, but black and white are definitely deep and clean. In any case, high brightness is required only when working against sunlight. In general, the visibility of the best picture, even after plasma or QLED matrix. High resolution matrix, easily supports 4K video and stutters a little on 8K video, but plays. Dolby and Vision standards are respected. Definitely, the LG matrix is ​​​​the leader in the class of organic OLED matrices.
Cons
  • First, the sound. If the TV is located above you, then everything is fine, but it is not very convenient to watch if you are not lying down. The speakers point straight down and are at the bottom of the screen. If you are on the same level with the center of the screen or above it, then the sound becomes noticeably muted and loses certain sound frequencies, it will sound good only with additional speakers connected. Secondly, a glossy screen. On other models, there is a matte finish and glare from the sun's rays does not interfere with viewing, but here the surface of the screen is glossy and noticeably glare. It is necessary either to place the TV in the darkest corner of the room, or tightly curtain the windows. The processor also noticeably stutters when playing content in 8K. And the Vision standard will not help you. Only a more powerful signal processing processor, for example, if it comes from a set-top box. But what's the point of buying a set-top box if the TV itself is smart? And boldly manages browsers and sites on the Internet, you can no longer use your laptop, all through Smart -LG!
