hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video and today i'm unboxing the new
2021 c1 oled from lg and this is the 77-inch version now this is going to be my unboxing
and my first impressions of this tv so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go over what's
included the setup process and some of the new features that we're getting on the 2021 model
then over the coming week i'm going to do a follow-up video deep dive into the settings once
i've used it for movies and gaming plus i can give you a more detailed review so this is the box and
it's absolutely massive now i've actually put the dimensions on screen so it gives you an idea of
just how big this is and also if you are picking this tv up from a store you might want to know
whether it will fit in your car now on the box it mentions some of the tv specs and that includes
things like it's a self-lit oled it's using the new a9 gen 4 chip and it supports google assistant
alexa and apple home kit but let's get this opened up and let's take a look at the tv inside
so we need to remove the packing clips which are around the outside of the box we've got the straps
across the top and then we've got the final thing which is the tape that we need to remove
then inside the box once we've removed all of the packaging you can see here that it reveals
the tv inside of its protective cover and this is what it comes with inside the box so you've got
a two-part stance you've got the front and the back and this is available in either silver or
a very dark gray so that's the one that i've gone for and that depends on the model that you go for
then there's the manuals and the setup information then you've got some screws that's used for the
stand and the mount then you've got a back plate for the tv and then you've got a remote control
and some batteries and that's pretty much it now for this video i'm actually going to mount the tv
onto the provided stand even though i usually warm out my tvs now this means i can show you how to
install the stand which might be useful to you but it also means i can turn the tv around and show
you the rear so this stand is a two part you've got the block here which goes at the back of the
tv and that's what supports it and this is really heavy this actually weighs about nine kilograms
and then you've got this bit at the front this is the lip the metal part this will go across
the front of the tv as you can see here it's quite nice it's metal again i've gone for the
dark gray one and it's got the lg oled branding on the corner so all you need to do is slot the metal
plate into the back plate screw the three screws in and it's good to go then installing onto the tv
is pretty straightforward now you can either lay it down on a flat surface like a table or even the
box that it came in or you can stand up if you've got a couple of people willing to help now i
decided to stand it up it was far easier for me so i stood up on the table and i just screwed those
final screws in and that's it it's now ready to move over to my tv cabinet so if you're looking at
the 77-inch version of the c1 this year you might be interested in the stand dimensions because you
might want to know whether it will fit on your tv cabinet so on screen i've put the dimensions that
includes the width the depth and the height between the cabin and the bottom of the tv
so let's take a look at the rear of the tv well the first thing we need to do is remove
the protective film from the top now this just peels off revealing a nice matte black panel
but if you go for the silver tv well this panel will actually be white
so all of the internal power and processing well that's actually hidden away in the bottom third
of the screen in this big kind of box area now there are some small vents across the top as
well so make sure you don't block this now on the left side there's the non-removable power cable
this is something that we've often seen over the last few years of the lg tv so once again
unfortunately this power cable cannot be removed then on the bottom right we've got the rear and
the side ports available and that includes four hdmi 2.1 ports and they all support 4k
at 120 hertz now one of these are actually labeled as e-arc and that allows you to send audio to
and from your avr or your soundbar then there are three usb ports an ethernet port as well as wi-fi
then there's the optical out a couple of antennas for tv and satellite and we've got the headphone
out port as well and then in the center on the actual back of the stand there's actually a small
cable management channel and this is where you can hide your cables so you can actually cover them up
and then there's a back plate so that's something that was included before that we didn't install so
you can actually pop that on now that will cover up the screws when we fitted the stand so in the
center of the tv we've got the vessel holes now i've actually put the dimensions on screen here
because if you are wall mounting the tv like i will do you might be interested in knowing what
the dimensions are from the holes to the bottom of the tv and from the holes to the top of the tv and
this might help you actually be able to wall mount your tv and position it without having to try and
lift it up and gas and this is how big the tv is so obviously if you look on the lg website you
will find some of these dimensions so the height and the width for maybe the depth you'll be able
to find but there are some other dimensions here that might be of interest to you so if this is
make sure you pause the video now and kind of take a note of these ready for your own setup
so the overall look of this tv is really impressive the edge of it is just so
thin it's almost paper thin but right let's get this tv turned around and take a look at the
front now the protective film that you'll see that covers the screen is very very reflective
now the first time you see this it might surprise you in thinking this is how reflective the tv is
but once we remove this you'll actually see that the screen behind is actually quite dark and it's
very tinted in comparison okay so i just wanted to quickly show the remote control that we're getting
this year so it is very different to the ones that we've seen previously it's got a kind of
a flatter design in both the look and the feel and it definitely feels and looks smaller as well when
comparing it to last year's but i really like this the scroll wheel as well in the center that feels
a lot firmer than what we've had before so we've got some new quick access buttons at the bottom
and that includes things like netflix and amazon prime and disney plus as well as google and alexa
now i'll cover some of this in my full review but if you want a side-by-side comparison of the c1
against the c10 as in the actual tvs not just the remotes let me know in the comments because what
i might do is i might actually do a head-to-head of the two tvs and show the four differences and
kind of is it worth upgrading so turning it on for the first time you will be presented with
the web os logo now this tv is running webos 6.0 and this is a new operating system for the
2021 tvs it's not something that you'll see on the 2020 models then going through the setup procedure
including connecting to wi-fi or a wired network accepting the terms and conditions and the usual
setup procedure now i don't have an antenna in the room so i won't be setting this side of it up
so if you're using the internal tv speakers you'll then want to choose which tv type you're using and
this will have an impact on the sound settings so if you have it wall mounted or if you place it on
the stand make sure you choose the one here so for me obviously i'm using the stand option so i will
choose that option so my advice here is the first thing you want to do is make sure you're on the
latest update so go to settings click on check for updates and you can see the version i'm on here
now this update only takes about 10 minutes to do but it's definitely worth doing first and this is
the new home dashboard so this is where all of the inputs and other devices will show up now i've got
a couple of things plugged in already like the playstation 5 and an apple tv but i've still got
a few more things i need to add but this looks really really clean it's really user friendly
okay so this is the new home screen this is the new app launcher and this is kind of like
a full screen view of all the apps you've got installed in a kind of tile or grid format now
this is totally different to what we've seen on the 2020 models they used to have that kind
of quick launcher across the bottom but it also shows you what's trending across whichever apps
you have installed so i really like the look of this and then there's the new app store
where you can search and download any of the new apps that you like so this didn't load for me the
first time that i actually opened it up so what i have to do is how to turn the tv off at the
wall and then back on again and then it did work so you might need to do the same also some great
news if you're in the uk we have got all of the uk streaming apps back so if you've got a c10 you'll
know that it launched last year we didn't get any of these services it was great to see them on day
one on this tv then there's also all of the normal apps that you would expect like netflix and amazon
prime and disney plus and apple tv okay and this is what the new menu looks like so when you press
the settings icon on the remote this is what you'll see on the left hand side so you can see
all of your picture settings and various other settings in the tv so i think the overall look
and feel of the menu and the home screen of the new tv is really nice it feels a lot sharper and
a lot cleaner now i do like this a lot now i was actually a little bit worried that i would miss
the pop-up app launcher across the bottom that i've been so used to over the last few tvs but yep
i can definitely get used to this new window so i was going to show you what picture settings that
i'm using across the tv for things like netflix and the playstation 5 but i've not really used
it long enough yet and especially haven't used it long enough in the daytime and the night time to
get the settings just right for me but if you're interested in knowing what picture settings i do
end up using let me know in the comments and what i'll then do is i'll include it in my next video
that i'm going to do next week when i do the full review but as i start i'm using the filmmaker or
the isf expert bright modes and what i then do is i turn the energy saving mode off i also turn off
true motion and i just tweak the oled brightness very slightly i just bring it down by five points
so one of my first impressions of the c1 oled the 2020 model oled i think it looks awesome
now the new remote is really nice and i like the interface upgrade as well like the home screen
and i like the app launcher i like that a lot well that was a quick look and unboxing of the
2021 c1 oled from lg now if you want to see more content about this tv make sure you subscribe to
the channel as next week i'll be doing the full review and i'll also show the gaming mode as well
now i'll most likely show things like the playstation 5 and the xbox series x
me know in the gamepl are you interested or are you looking at the c1 or the g1 for 2021
or are you using an older or a different model of tv and you're just not interested in upgrading yet
