this is the lg c2 let's take a look
so in this video we're going to take a look at the new lg c2 i'm going to go over 10 things
that are new and give you my first impressions now this is the 48-inch version and there are
some fairly significant differences between the different sizes so i've got the c2 that i could
first get my hands on so i could give you this video as soon as possible and that is the 48 inch
now the most significant difference between all the different sizes are the stands
we have this new stand on the 55 inch 65 inch and 77 inch there are also these legs on the 42 inch
which that is also new we didn't have a 42 inch last year and the stands on this 48 inch and the
83 inch are both fairly reminiscent of last year's stands the one we have on our 48 inch is this
lovely black dark gray style stand and i think it looks awesome now the back of the c2 on most sizes
is also very different from last year however the 48 inch is very similar almost identical in fact
the only obvious difference that i can see is the little nodule on the bottom for the ir sensor and
i think that's because of the new hands-free voice control i'm going to get on to that in a minute as
before we have support for a visa mount on the back so we can wall mount it however for this
video we're going to be using the stand if you are planning on wall mounting the measurements are 30
by 20 centimeters well what about connectivity well we have a lamp pot at the back an optical
audio out we have two usb ports and an ir blaster which is new obviously we have our antenna and
satellite cables and one of our four hdmi 2.1 ports on the side we have an additional usb and
three hdmi 2.1 ports now that we have the tv ready we can power it on and set it up but before we do
what else is new on the lg c2 okay so not only is there new stuff on the outside
but there's a whole lot of new stuff on the inside one of those things being lg's new a9
gen 5 processor it's a neat little snappy thing that powers tons of new features
and it also improves navigation and some of the ai picture settings so when you're setting up the
c2 you have to go through these menus to set it up the way you like it this gives us options like the
ai picture and sounds modes that enhance details on faces and create virtual surround sound now i
will go into things like sound and picture quality when i do my full review once we're
done we're thrown into webos and we can start to play with the tv picture settings and apps
but there are a couple of new features to mention here we now get profiles where we can sign into
our own personal profile and switch between profiles depending on who's watching the tv this
enhances how you can personally use the tv and it means if you have a family member or a roommate
they're not going to be filling up your tv with all of their rubbish now i'm going to do a deep
dive into that feature in another video so do subscribe to see that lg have also taken the
hands-free voice control from last year's g1 and they've rammed it into the c2 hi lg
dim the screen the screen has become darker by one level and this means that you can control
your tv without a remote which is incredibly useful especially if you're like me and your
remotes tend to go missing for days on end when they turn up days later smelling of cigarettes and
alcohol and shame no that was someone else the commands are what you would expect change channel
volume open different sources how good is it well it's not the most responsive voice assistant out
there it's not quite as good as something like an amazon echo dot and like with any smart assistant
do bear remind it's going to take time to get used to it and to get to know what it's like and how
it works it is useful if you don't have a remote but as soon as the remote is in sort of grabbing
distance it is much easier just to grab that and use that or just pressing the mic button on that
and talking into that then it would be to have to say high lg before every single command now
also we do have a new room to room mode now this can be a very useful feature for people if you're
lucky enough to have two 2022 lg tvs if you can tick that box you'll be able to use this feature
unfortunately i can't tick that box right now so i won't be able to show it to you
but basically what it does if you're watching tv or certain content on one tv
and you want to move into another room you can get the tv to stream it to the other tv and this also
works for content put in via hdmi so you could have your cable box in one room and stream that
to a tv in your bedroom that is incredibly useful so what is the picture actually like well it is
incredible and i mean last year's c1 was incredible and the c10 was incredible in fact
all of lg's oleds always have incredible picture the real difference here is that the lg c2
has the evo panel that was previously on last year's g series tvs now the evo panel improves
the brightness of the tv now this tv from first impressions does feel a lot brighter
from last year however the 42 inch and the 48 inch aren't going to benefit as much from the
evo panel because of the high pixel ratio that we get on these smaller screens now that being said
lg have also added new algorithms and that should be able to push the brightness higher again so now
i have managed to boot up my xbox on the c2 and it is incredible just how good it looks
played a few different games and it is definitely still the best way to be playing console games
with 120 hertz support for vrr freesync and g-sync it is awesome now i actually
personally preferred gaming on the 48-inch to the 55-inch because i just felt like you were just
more focused on what was on the screen i suppose it being everywhere
now that should hopefully show for people who are looking at buying the 42-inch i imagine
that's going to be a very very popular machine now this does get us on to our new game optimizer
menu it's basically a quick settings menu for game mode it gives you information as to what
frequency you're running at and what different mode you're in and one of the new modes on this
is sports mode so it's specifically tailored to enhance your experience while playing sport games
and last but by no means least is the new picture in picture mode now it has been missing on recent
lg tvs but it is back now the only unfortunate thing with this is that it looks like it's not
a hundred percent ready there wasn't really many apps that i could get actually working with this
so i think that's going to be something as more and more people buy these tvs
should be rolled out later in an update but it's nice to see that
the framework for that feature is there and do bear in mind this tv is new new
other sizes still aren't available and you can only pre-order now as i make more videos
on this lg c2 you should be able to get to them here but do subscribe and ring that bell so that
when those videos get up you can be the first to watch them thank you very much for watching
you
