+1 for LG C1. Got my hooked up to my PS5 and it works well. Debating attempting hooking a PC up to it but have mixed thoughts on that.

Depending on your PC, is the way to go IMO. Higher FPS if decent spec, VRR will work etc. No real downside outside of certain games which you can just carry on playing on your PlayStation IMO.

True. Just need to beef up the existing setup as I sold the 1080ti as I wasn’t gaming as much.
Overdue a new build I think but something that’ll fit in that cabinet!

Morning all (Happy Friday!)

I’m about to buy the C1 “48” only size that will fit the new living room unfortunately from John Lewis as they have 10% off currently so £899 before I pull the trigger is there another company doing it for less, i know they come with 5 years warranty from manufacture but just checking! Thanks

Has anyone managed to block the LG adverts on a 65" C1? I feel like the ui is going slower due to all the adverts.

I read that you could block it within your firewall?

I'd imagine a pi-hole would do it

I might need to do the same, the UI is noticeably slower on my C1 compared to my C9.

Hi all, just picked up a 55" C1 and loving it. Also just got an Xbox Series X and hooked it up. Didn't really fiddle with any settings on either the TV or the Xbox, just switched connected them and switched on then ran through the initial setup. Will the Xbox or C1 need any additional settings tweaked manually to get the best performance and visuals out of the pairing? I did a quick Google and there is mention of a 'Deep Colour' setting or something and having to enable things on the particular HDMI port I have it plugged into (HDMI 1 I think?).

Cheers.

Let me know if you do block it, im appalled by the Ui speed, seems to have got worse recently.

Been looking at a decent HDMI lead for my SkyQ 2tb box (UHD) to paid with my new C1 55”

Anyone got anything better they can recommend?

Have you got one already? It'll probably do the job just fine.

I have but its 5m long and was fed into a wall channel as we had the 65" wall mounted, now we are having a redesign of the ground floor it will be on a TV stand setup so 0.5m is what I'm after, will check the forest! Cheers

p.s the 55" C1 is arriving today but with builders in it will have to stay in its box for another 2 weeks (I hope)

Latest firmware has sorted the slow webOS on the C1, much snappier now, fair play LG :cool:

Ahh was holding off as always wary about early adoption of updates. Good to know!

Evening all, how good are the C1 speakers/sound? I’ve seen mixed reviews on YouTube, if I had a budget of £300/£400 for a soundbar? Not sure if that would be Dolby Atmos level

55” is sat in its box ready to be setup once the living room is finished in a week or so

Could maybe look at picking up a 2nd hand gen 2 beam?

At your budget get a stereo system.

Because? Out of interest, I’ve not had a stereo system since I was at my mums, we use sonos play 1, Amazon smart speakers etc

Better quality. Your budget is low, you'd just get medocire sound quality and poor connectivity with a soundbar
