Amazing new OLED model

This model was a replacement for my 3.5 year old B8 OLED, it was an amazing TV, but the C2 is a definite improvement in every way.
The setup was easy and quick, you can do it with the remote, or alternatively using the LG app on your phone. The new webOS is very speedy, so all controls are very quick, setting up the Freeview TV and all the connections took no time at all. Installing apps like Youtube or Netflix is also very quick.
One setting I would suggest to change first for anyone who gets this TV, is to switch off the Energy Saver mode. The picture will be way too dim otherwise.
Picture quality: SD & HD: there are a number of picture presets that come with this TV, some work much better than others. I found the setting working the best for me for the SDR streams is the ISF Expert (either Dark or Bright room). There are a lot of picture modifications to play with, but the only thing I changed with this preset was turning down sharpness to 0. The HD streams looked fantastic, and even the SD looked much better than on my old B8, the pixelation wasn’t as noticeable.
HDR and Dolby Vision: For HDR and Dolby Vision my favourite preset is the new Filmmaker Mode - it’s meant to make the picture as close to what the director intended it to look like as possible. Again, not much changes in the settings, other than the sharpness to 0 again, and also setting the white balance to Warm 50. I am also using the Real Cinema and the TruMotion (Cinematic Movement) settings. All the HDR and Dolby Vision content looks absolutely brilliant, without the “soap opera” effect.
Gaming: one of the best features of this TV is the Game Optimiser setting for your gaming. I use it as a 4K monitor for my PC, and to make sure all the HDR features are utilised you have to switch the HDMI connection to “PC” in the Home Dashboard. Then the Game Optimizer allows you to set the settings like VRR, G-Sync and others. Now I can play games in 4K at 120Hz, and it looks incredible.
I haven’t tested the sound fully, as I use a separate soundbar, but from what I heard from the TV it is also a big improvement on the B8.
This is an amazing OLED, definitely the best looking TV I’ve ever had.
