    Probably the best comparison format I've seen so far. No going back and forth between individual displays or confusing split screen footage (looking at you digitaltrends). I like that you keep them both visible at all time while addressing your points

    7:00. Очень неудачный формат сравнения. Оба экрана находятся под углом к камере и камера с этим же искажением транслирует вам это изображение на компьютерный экран. В этом случае искажено все, объём, плоскость и вследствие этого цвет и тон. И вы, сколько бы не старались, не сможете адекватно сравнить изображение двух экранов, как если бы они были расположены в одной плоскости, перпендикулярно камере и вашим глазам. Чтобы понять о чем я говорю, возьмите две одинаковых фотографии и разместите их сначала под углом, (под разными углами, как на видео),к вашим глазам, вплотную друг к другу, и ощутите насколько это не удобно для восприятия и не комфортно для вашего мозга.

I am weighing out LG G2 83" vs C2 83" as there is a considerable price difference, with the 83" G2 I heard being under-powered compared to the 77", is there much of a difference between the C2 vs the G2 in the 83" ?

    I went to Best Buy to look at the G2. They had it away from the others, not even in the Magnolia room and they had dozens if Samsung TV boxes stacked in front if it so couldn't really see it. I went to the main LG wall and watched the C2. I found that the LG demo was mostly dark scenes which is not very good for in an in store with bright lighting. I think they should have displayed some sports events or something other than dark artistic videos. I was not able to watch any Live TV or handle the remote. Very disappointing. I ended up buying one online anyway from them having them do the install. I only hope BB doesn't screw me over. Oh and by the way awesome review. I have been watching a TCL 55" at 13' away. The 77 will be a nice treat for my old and tired eyes.

Is this specific to this model or is the A80K pretty much the same in this regard? Would i find this happening on the newer LG models? Thanks for any input.

    Hi, I see a lots of comments on gaming on OLED TVs. I have (had) a OLED LG B7 and in the last 5 years I had to replace two screen panels due to screen burn. On the latest one I clearly see the Warzone drop logo and the number of plates etc..on the bottom left corner. Replacing the screen this time around is costing me more than a new one...Do you have an opinion on screen burning on the latest OLED models either A80 or C2. I'm considering more the Sony due to terrible aftermarket support from LG. Less and less repair shops are dealing or providing support to LG tv owners. I could always go with LCD but nothing compares to OLED when it's movie time...OLED are closer to plasma....Please share your knowledge with screen burn on newer model. Thanks.

Next they played me a clip from a usb film on both . And it was top quality demo content . Both looks far similar.

On one hand, I love the C2 physical design (how that thin screen looks from the sides), the edges, etc., the four 2.1 hdmi inputs, input lag, the stand, and the fact that it is a bit brighter than the A80K. On the other hand, I realize that the A80K is a bit better when it comes to color tones, some say it shows a bit more detail (is that true?) and the sound system is appealing.

    Classy, are you gonna test the a90k? I'm waiting for a few in depth reviews on it before I pull the trigger on the 42 inch for a pc monitor, ps5 gaming and streaming/shows/movies. Hoping the a90k has an option to disable the game dimming. The main reason I'm leaning towards the a90k 42 rather than the c2 42 is because I've been hearing for many years that sdr gaming on the Sony oleds is much more vibrant compared to the quite dull sdr game mode on the lg oleds. I've read that the c2 is the same this year. I game is sdr and hdr, so that is important to me. Really enjoy your content. Thank you!

It’s bright enough for sure, I’ve moved the tv to a brighter area with lots of natural light and it can still keep up. And that’s that I watch in ISF mode in warm 50 which has lower peak brightness. I game in game mode with HGIG and it’s still great. Since then, I’ve also seen A95K in a home and I notice the grey-ish blacks in the lit room so I’m actually glad I got the G2 over the A95K that would’ve been annoying since I don’t want to always be in a completely darkened room while watching.

    I have a Lg B1 65". I like the truemotion setup and the 10 gradient dejudder. I have deblur at 0 since I dont see how this is affecting picture quality at movies 23.976 fps. Now is fair to say that the new Lg is better because of the 10 gratient setup one can find easier a setting that suit ones preferance if I want motion to be stutter/micro stuttefree(or at least very tight in this reguard) with minimum of artifacts accepting a bit of soap opera effect. This is better with Lg. Sony is better when the soap opera effect is what one dislike the most thus accepting more stutter motion? Also sony has a better and has clean up more irregularities when it comes to non 4k contant where scaling has to be used(overall content handeling motion, artifacts). Here sony has a clear lead and has cleaned up a lot and thus producing the best picture and motion handeling? I am talking in general here between Lg and Sony. I am considering Sony A95K or wait to see Lgs next year models to see if there is even a better motionhandeling, artifacts, soap opera effect and more clean up in non 4k content(especially low resolution content). I also wonder if A95K will do the trick for me producing a stutterfree, less artifacts motion handeling. I have read that there still is better motion handeling and that sony is still the King (like difficult scenes like in blade runner 45 (from what Hifi review: but not even the new G2 can match the A95K’s combination of complete control over shimmer in tricky, unpredictable motion with a total lack of introduced unrealism.). I am very sensitive to stutter and aritfacts. I understand that Lg is very good at this. But maybe one can get this and also less unrealism/soap opera effect with the coming A95K? looking forward for Your excellent reviews and of A95K. I also read that A95K has done a lot of clean up in other resolution and low resolution content than prievious models so it is even better at this than A90J. I dont game!. But I really like the 10 point dejudder on Lg. And use desktop pc most of the time to watch content on my TV. Use JRiver when watching movies.

    For movies dejudder will fix the panning shots and the judder associated with it Deblur effects things like hand movements when there isn't panning motion. 10 is too aggressive, it makes more mistakes than taking it down some. Try 8/8 or 7/7. Even 9/0 will be better than 10/0. 10 dejudder is really only useful for anime, imo.

My other pc with Amd i7 2700x only needed 6. Very strange that a several years newer intel i5 12600kf alder lake needed more dejudder. Anyways. I sometime see head turn guickly or a hand movement stutter. So beblur will correct these types of stutter? I thought deblur only was for higher frames content like 60 hz reducing blurring in movement making the picture clear or just in general redusing unclearness in movement. so if dejudder at 7 it is recommended to have deblur also at 7. If it is like you describe that small stutter in hand or head movements will be corrected by deblur function, this would be even better result. 👍 update: forum threads say that de-blur is for higher frame content like 60 fps/hz. and that it makes detail in movement more clear and not blurred, hence the name de-blur.

    If the source is built in apps, then the comparison is irrelevant. The source has to be identical through a splitter as streaming content changes it's quality every 2 seconds based on connection quality and server load. It also depends on what settings are being used, and how high someone has reality creation set. A higher reality creation setting can appear sharper or more detailed especially on a camera, but with a closer look can see all of the issues with too much processing as I showed in this video. With native 4k content there shouldn't be any added processing changing the image, and they should look the same. Though there is some processing on the Sony that cannot be fully disabled without using the graphics picture mode.
