C2 48 inch 4K Smart OLED TV

Product Information

Since being installed we are now appreciating a lovely OLED driven picture showing us detail we're sure we wouldn't have seen on our older TV. It’s possible to get a more consistently impactful feel if you switch off the Dolby Atmos processing, and some more volume too, but the bass isn’t handled brilliantly and tends to muddy those clear waters that LG has worked hard to make pond weed-free this year.

That’s because the viewing is best without too many of the brightness boosters that would otherwise blow out all of the detail. Add in just a small level of the contrast enhancer, modulate just a touch with the contrast slider and you’ll pretty much have it all.

The LG OLED48C1 is a terrific all-round TV and one that’s easy to recommend to anybody. The Philips 48OLED806 might be better for pure cinematic performance but this LG is more usable and significantly easier to get the best out of. Cinema Home is the one to go for, though, for the very best that this TV can offer. Fine tune with the sharpness slider and adjust the colour temp to the look you like and you’ve got it all within a matter of minutes.

LG OLED48C24LA review - Which?

Previously only available on higher models, AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro are now standard on the OLED48A26LA. AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. AI Sound Pro leans from more than 17 million audio data points, identifying voices, effects and frequencies. From here, it optimises the sound by genre, giving a more natural sound quality. Set up was quite straightforward, and as the first "smart TV" that I have owned, I was impressed how easily it integrated with my Humax PVR and even replicated the remote controller so I only need one for everything now.
