Will this have all the features the bigger screens have? null

Question

MauserGT · Accepted Answer

TL;DR

The 42" (and for that matter the 48") LG C2 will keep all the SOC benefits of the 55" and larger sizes but will NOT be capable of the same brightness and will also have worse speakers/stand. The 42" and potentially also the 48" may have the older generation WBC panels depending on what time of year you purchase (later in the year, LG is supposed to switch to WBE panels for all sizes).

This TV, while advertised as Evo and still containing the same SOC (all the HDMI and upscaling and performance features will remain the same), the panel itself--due to its lower pixel aperture--both the 42" and 48" will not be capable of the same brightness as the 55" and larger sets. Besides this, it is also known now that at least some 42" C2 models will still be using the older WBC panels instead of the newer (what most people think of as 'Evo') WBE panels. This may have longevity ramifications down the line, but for now LG is confident that these 42" sets meet their criteria to be called Evo. The speakers and stand designs also differ model to model with the 42" receiving the worst of both (the stand is subjective so you may not feel the same).

MauserGT did a better job than I did pointing out the differences among sizes. I was most disappointed with the stand. MauserGT listed performance differences that I'll check out before spending $1400 for a 42" tv. Thanks MGT.

Answer

Early production may have the old WBC panels.  This will not be nearly 100% until after Q2 per LG.

It has  the  stand with    two   legs  on  the  outside   instead of  a  heavy stand  in  the  center  giving  greater   stability  and safety.

One earlier answer is incorrect. This will have the WOLED "Evo" Panel. However, due to physics the brightness will suffer and not be the complete 30% upgrade YOY. Other than that the Physical Stand varies size to size. All of the internal features and components are the same between the sizes.

From what I understand the new LG C2 42 Inch and the LG C2 48 Inch would NOT have the EVO Panel that is supposed to make the tv's 10% to 30% more brighter.

The LG C2 series TV's will have the EVO Panel starting with screen size 55 inches and up Everything else is the same.
