Hands-on review of the LG C8 OLED 4k HDR TV
Full review: www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c8
The LG C8 OLED is a great TV, with impressive picture quality especially when viewed in a dark room. It is great for those with wide seating as the image remains accurate at an angle.

    Rtings there appears to be an issue with 2018 LG OLEDs when displaying near-black colors. All of their OLEDs from 2018 have a flashing issue when the tv tries to display very dim colors and it’s pretty noticeable. Check out this example at 11:22: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZ6DxNpmXbLXaMo.html What do you know about this? Is there a way to fix it or a reason it’s happening, and how does it change your recommendation? I am currently in the market for an OLED.

    I'd love to see mention of the inputs on the TV in future reviews, I have a lot of old consoles and it's getting really hard to find a TV that supports them, they rarely support composite, component and/or analogue coax, and often those that do have very poor scaling or massive input lag. Also I have a LOT of newer consoles and video devices so knowing the number of HDMI ports would also be helpful.

    Just bought a 65" C8 and I love it. There are tools and practices available to avoid burn in, so that really wasn't a concern for me. I mainly wanted the contrast since I have a dedicated, light controlled theater room. The C8 is dropping in price now, so there will be great deals for the rest of its run. By the way, I love your videos! Your body movements seem almost robotic in a way, which is kind of cute, actually.

    @@xDemonxNero146x There is a menu option (I can't remember what it is right now, but it's easy to find) built into LG OLED TVs that, when turned on, slightly shifts pixels every so often to mitigate burn in. Also, you can simply avoid displaying static images for more than an hour. Reducing the brightness setting as low as possible is also very helpful. I have my TV in a totally dark room, so I have the brightness turned all the way down, but if yours will be in a brighter room, this may not be possible. Also, if you notice burn in starting to occur, like from a station logo for example, you should change to a non static program and play it for a an hour or so, then turn the TV off for an hour or so. Then it should be fine when you turn it back on. The bottom line is that you should always avoid displaying static images for more than an hour, being mindful of TV station logos. If you do this, you won't have any problem.

    04.10.31 was a hopeless update - it made the Quad Step Noise Reduction launched on the 2018 OLEDs (and the reason why I bought the TV) stop working. The colour banding used to be virtually non existent but is now terrible and makes the TV virtual unwatchable at times. LG called me on 16th April and confirmed that they are aware of the major error in 04.10.31 (Quad Step Noise Reduction inactivated) and are about to release a fix for it imminently.

    Thank you for your Review. It was very helpful for my decision of buying a TV. I loved my C8. The picture is great. But now I'm very angry about the update politics of LG. The software, esp. updates, are part of the core of a modern TV. The update politics should be part of the Test. And if it is like in the case of LG, that after one year, there are no more serious update (like VRR etc.) without no reason (c8 and c9 nearly the same hardware!?), you should decrease the test result of this tv.

    Why does every other review state 21ms input lag for 4K HDR gaming, but you say it 30ms. Why the discrepancy?

    Nazrul Islam upscaling is the same.... In an earlier video they said not to base you purchase on upscaling technology as they all perform the same

    Yeah if your content is compressed and your going for 65” or bigger you may be better off with a Sony with X1 Extreme processor. Probably going to irk people having played with a C7 and a Sony. However, the Sony is slightly better with upscaling and is one of the few reasons for purchasing over the LGs. If your content is 720p or better than C7 or C8 is very good and should not be a factor. In Australia we have a lot of OTA and cable content at 576p/i and cable content is highly compressed. Therefore upscaling may have a higher weight when considering a TV.

    +Geoff Yates Does the improved Sony processing also apply to low res games as well like the NES? Or is it just videos.

    Damien Haven,t tried the NES or equivalent. Have a Xbox One S for 360 games. The only game that looks not so good on the 65” is Mass Effect. Most look pretty good especially the Rare games like Banjo and Perfect Dark. Also stress it can’t make really bad content look great.
