The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120 - great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. In other words, they can take advantage of the latest graphics features available from PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S consoles as well as high-end graphics cards. That means their HDMI ports can handle 4K at 120 frames per second and variable refresh rate (including Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync), as well as enhanced audio return channel and automatic low latency mode (auto game mode). All of LG's 2022 OLED models (aside from the A2) include the latest version of the HDMI standard: 2.1. LG continues to excel at connection options. LIke most TVs, the C2 does support Apple's phone-mirroring feature, and it also lets you issue Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa voice commands by speaking into the remote or, new for 2022, hands-free when you say the wake word like "Alexa." Well-connected, especially for gamers You can't show two HDMI inputs on-screen and the main thing you can do - share a screen from your phone side-by-side with an input - didn't work with Apple AirPlay. LG also added a new multiview feature that puts two sources side by side or picture-in-picture, but unfortunately it's quite limited. The new "always ready" feature puts something on the screen even after you turn it "off." David Katzmaier/CNET On a TV this expensive you should just attach a good streaming device instead. As usual, I prefer a simpler interface like Roku, and if you like customizations and options Google TV is a better bet. LG touts the fact that you can set up favorite sports teams, for example, but most people will just go straight to the app and skip the clutter. Signing in unlocks a new 2022 feature, customized recommendations and additional user accounts. You'll see notes and notifications along the top, a box that displays the weather, a prompt to sign in to LG's system, a seemingly random collection of stuff labeled "Trending Now," then (finally) the list of apps below. LG's WebOS menu system is not my favorite, in part because of the clutter. As always, you can wave LG's remote around to move the cursor, or scroll quickly through menus with the built-in wheel. In my old age I've grown easily annoyed by too many buttons, and I much prefer the streamlined, simple layout of Samsung and Roku/TCL remotes, for example. The less-expensive A2 lacks the HDMI 2.1 gaming features, 120Hz refresh rate and fancier processing found on the other 2022 LG OLEDs. Spending more for the G2 gets you a slightly brighter panel according to LG, as well as the wall-friendly "gallery" design. The C2 series sits in the middle of LG's 2022 OLED TV lineup, with the widest range of screen sizes and all the features I expect from a high-end TV. The exceptions are the 42- and 48-inch sizes, which lack the "Evo" panel and might be slightly dimmer than the others as a result (although the difference is minimal, if my comparisons to the non-Evo C1 are any indication). All sizes have identical specs and, according to the manufacturer, should provide very similar picture quality. I performed a hands-on evaluation of the 65-inch OLED C2, but this review also applies to the other screen sizes in the series. *Subscription packages required where appropriate.See all photos LG C2 sizes, series comparison High frame rate: OLED TVs can run games and movies at 120 frames per second – the new high frame rate standard.Dolby Atmos® TVs: LG OLED TVs recreate the moving sound cinema experience of Dolby Atmos in your home.Dolby Vision™: LG OLED TVs are compatible with HDR formats including Dolby Vision, which enhances your picture frame by frame.Netflix-approved: LG OLED achieved Netflix Recommended TV status in 20 for its fast and user-friendly experience.Experience four times the detail of a Full HD TV and see Netflix, Prime Video and Sky* at their best.
