This is the best TV I have ever laid my eyes on and I could not be happier with the fact that I spent my money on the LG C2! I only wish I had purchased it sooner. I play XBOX Series X on my C2, this is actually the main reason I purchased an LG C2. Because of LG's recent reputation as being the best TV's out there for gaming. Well, I can tell you from plenty of personal experience, that this reputation must be something that LG does not take lightly, because they did an absolutely amazing job with this display. It is absolutely gorgeous! I realize that "gorgeous" is a pretty deep word to use in describing the picture one's television can deliver, but to use a lesser word, or means of description, would just be doing it an injustice at the very least. The colors this television puts out, and the depth at which it does so, are nothing short of awe inspiring! To watch a movie on this television, especially with our new Onkyo TX-NR6100 audio/video receiver, and it's 5.2.2 channels of Dolby Atmos (or DTS:X) audio, is not to "watch" a movie at all, but rather, to experience the absolute best that today's home theater possibilities have to offer, and in doing so, find one's self completely immersed in this amazing picture and these incredible sounds! And if you thought it ends there, you were sorely mistaken, because as fun and awesome an experience as it certainly is to enjoy a 4K UHD Bluray (this is by far the pinnacle of movie watching experiences, and without a doubt, a far more superior way to enjoy one's favorite films, than to stream them, regardless which app one may use do to so... the picture and sound on 4K UHD Bluray is just plain better!) on this television, you still have not experienced true immersion, until you have played any one of plenty of titles available on the XBOX Series X gaming console!! I cannot speak to the Playstation 5 experience, as I do not own one, though I imagine it is pretty amazing as well. I had a Hisense U7G when I first purchased my XBOX, but I upgraded to the C2, and while the U7G is no doubt a great and beautiful display in it's own rite, and certainly plenty capable for gaming, even at 4K/120Hz... Still, upgrading to the C2 proved that until doing so, we were not getting the absolute most we could possibly get out of our gaming experiences. With the LG C2, things are just more vivid, more interactive, and just overall, more ALIVE!!! And I can say without a doubt, that gaming on the LG C2 (again, including our Onkyo TX-NR6100 boosting our audio to a whole nother level..) is without a doubt, as close as one can get to "virtual reality", without actually strapping on a set of VR goggles, from something like, say, an Occulus sytem, or something of that like. The difference between XBOX and the Occulus, is definition and resolution... The XBOX looks more like reality than anything any VR device can come close to currently. So with a setup like the XBOX Series X, an Onkyo TX-NR6100, THX certified audio video receiver, pushing quality Bowers and Wilkins speakers, carefully placed throughout the room (and two subwoofers to ensure those lows are able to be felt as much as they are heard!) and finally, the 65 inch LG C2 (or any other size I would imagine) OLED EVO 4K UHD television, you are EXPERIENCING (not just "watching" or "playing") the very BEST of what our modern technology has to offer by way of home entertainment!!! And let me tell you... It is an absolute BLAST, and a thing that I thoroughly enjoy on a daily basis!! And I am as grateful as I can be, that I find myself fortunate enough to be able to share these experiences with those who are closest to me, and who mean more to me than anything else in this world!! My family, and our friends! Movie nights are a whole thing in our house now, and rather than fussing that there is something else they would rather be doing, the kids instead, are happy to sit and watch whatever new 4K UHD Bluray Mom and/or Dad brought home this time, or to hang out and play a game! It's been the best of fun for me personally, and I enjoy plenty of games on my own too, but it has created an environment where my family is happy to gather as well, and that is a thing that you just cannot put a price on these days. I know some time, the "newness" will die down, and goofy toys, or worse, the spiney, infectious tendrils of social media will once again win out over watching a movie with Mom and Dad. But for now, I couldn't be happier with everything these new purchases have granted us. It certainly is far more than I ever expected or even dared to hope for, and so, like so many other things in life, we choose to just soak it up and enjoy it while it's happening. If I am honest, these purchases were fueled by motives which were indefinitely self-centered, and a bi-product of my deep seeded, and long-standing obsession with home theater! I could have continued watching and playing on my U7G, and listening via my dated Onkyo TX-NR929 (which still works 100%, including the remote, after 10 plus years in constant service, but I sold it so someone else could realize the beginnings of their own obsession with the same), and things would have still been nice and enjoyable. But when I saw the perfect (or near to it as is possible) contrast that was possible with OLED televisions, and then I saw that same contrast, along with the colors and brightness present in the LG C2 display, along with the gaming features, unrivaled by other televisions - FUN FACT....the LG C2 and G2 are the ONLY displays capable of "Dolby Vision for gaming" as of now... because Dolby laboratories would not certify any other displays to carry the feature, as they themselves did not find other displays capable of rendering Dolby Vision for Gaming properly, or effectively enough that they felt comfortable with putting their stamp of approval on any of them, save the C2 and G2. And so, the C2 and G2 are the only displays available currently, upon which one can play their games in true Dolby Vision for Gaming. No other displays can tick that box just yet... And that speaks volumes to me personally... Especially considering just about all of the other companies, if not every one of them, period, are actually using LG panels to manufacture their own TVs... If you don't believe this, just email any of the other big name brands, and ask them, ON the record of course, what type of panel is used in their manufacturing process of their OLED televisions. And see what type of responses you get. I can assure you that while they will never freely admit it, so long as you inform them that you are asking ON the record, they will not deny it either. And they certainly would not dare lie to you, as they are far too afraid of the repercussions from that, as they have no way of knowing whether or not you might be someone digging for dirt for the competition... It is a cut-throat business after all, to be sure! - I knew without a doubt, that settling for what I had been watching was just not going to be an option, and that I had to have one to bring home, that I could call my own, and that is why I purchased my LG C2. However, I freely admit, that I had no idea at the time, just how many experiences it would prove to provide me to have WITH my family and friends! This was an unforeseen bit of amazing fun and enjoyment - as previously mentioned - that seemed to occur as if it were a side-effect of purchasing these devices... It was all an after-thought, to be completely fair and honest. But a factor that has definitely occurred nonetheless, and one that both I and my wife have both been aware of, appreciative of, and ever so immensely pleased with at the end of the day!
Whether you are a Dad (or Mom) looking for a cool way to try and get your whole family back into the living room at the same time, and for more time than 5 minutes... Or a Dad (or Mom, or anyone else) looking for a killer display upon which to play your own video games, during time that you spend on your own - otherwise known as "me-time" in our household - and as far away from the kids as is humanly possible, while under the same roof... No matter WHO you are, or how you might describe yourself... The LG C2 would be a more than welcome addition into your household, and into your life! And while I can't promise you that it will bring your family together more as it did my own... I can however assure you that it will, without a doubt, vastly improve the way that you see the world as you view it through whatever may be playing on your screen right now!! Unless of course that is a C2, in which case I would say that it is a smidge odd - at the least - that you would be reading reviews written of the C2, when you are already all too familiar with it's capability and functionality! So, if you are looking for the right television to bring home, and are not sure where to begin, or quite what to pick... And it also happens you have been reading this review. Well, first of all, I thank you for reading this review in its entirety! And second of all, but more importantly, stop looking around and wasting time with a bunch of researching this spec and that spec, and comparing this feature to that feature, as you could do this till the cows come home, and still never really be able to comfortably decide upon a television that is right for you! A television - especially one like this - is not a small nor insignificant purchase by any stretch of the imagination! I get it, believe me, I do. But I'll put it to you like this... You could keep looking, and "researching", until those cows do come home. But all that is pretty counter-productive once you have already taken a look at, and read the reviews for, the one that would be the best fit! So stop wasting time "researching", and get busy enjoying! The C2 WILL NOT let you down! You can thank me later!
