- 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.
Model tested: 55” (OLED55C8PUA)

Great review guys and it was good seeing you on Joey's channel. Very cool about talking about this years models.
I like how you do comparisons at the end. That's really helpful.
Great review, loved the details, please keep doing these, especially for the 2019 models
Fantastic detailed yet clear review and comparison. Keep up the good work!
just to clarify something here this is the best RUclips channel for TVs ever these guys are awesome you got should support their channel these guys do this out of their own pocket help them out thanks
This is, by far, the most informative review on the LG C8, especially while compared to its peers. Keep up the great reviews Daniel!
Great review again thanks!
Great Reviev. Thank you guys and greetings from Germany!👌😎
Got this one for gaming in particular. By far the best decision I have made in a long time. A professional review, very helpful.
Great review as always. Thx!
terrific review and insights. thanks.
Love your reviews! They are the best! But I'd like to see you talk about the Black Frame Insertion (Motion tech) in your reviews, especially comparing it to the Sony A8F.
Really great review. Thank you from Poland.
Fantastic review, looking forward to an A8F review
Looked everywhere to see if the bezel/edge on the C8 had any light or LG logo, this video has a perfectly clear shot at 1:09 confirming its a nice clean line with no logo, bump or central feature of any kind, just as I’d hoped, thank-you to the camera operator and lighting staff for this 👍
Grabbing one of these in 55”, gonna be perfect for my new game room setup
Holy crap this was an awesome review
really helpful with the decision process and help consumers consider other options based on their type of use and area. C8 is going into the theatre room definitely!! Hope it's more than good enough for my possibly moderate to high use of PlayStation games and NBA streaming 🤣 thanks guys 👍🏼👍🏼
You make the best videos !!
As always good advice
Good review
Thanks Daniel
Id love to see a review of the TCL 6 Series! I'm just waiting on you guys to review it before I buy... this wait is so HARD!
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.
Great review. looking at A8 vs C8 vs Q6 or Q7 of Samsung. Which is a better proposition? Price wise A8 of Sony is highest and Q6 is lowest, the difference between C8 and Q6 is 10%
great review, but what about frame interpolation. has it been improved compared to last years models?
Waiting for the C9 Review!!! Very curious about the improvements to game mode with Interpolation enabled vs the Samsung competitor tvs input lag results.
Are you planning on doing a TCL 6-Series review?
The review most expect! LG OLED C8 this the clear WINER!
Obed Blas q9 gets black, but where it lacks is showing detail in black levels because it's full array lmao it'll never be able to show off darker scenes, just like the oled cant show off the brighter scenes, but brighter is better, darker is oled ftw
@Obed Blas But you dont have an OLED, that's the problem, that you cannot compare it. We all got LCD/LED meh
Obed Blas do you really got offended ? Forgot about TV, Does you GF makes you cry?
After watching this, and several other reviews, 100 times I finally pulled the trigger and bought this TV. Can't wait to swap out my 9 year old Samsung LED with this beauty!
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.
D LG 65inch c8 for $2100 ... steal... beautiful for gaming it doesn’t get enough credit on that.., best tv on the market...
What are the tools and practices I’m about to get mines this week

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.
@@dlg5485 So the C8's shit for gaming as nearly all games have static HUD's (Heads up displays). Dk whether to go for the C8 or Q9F for my Xbox One X. I'll be playing games like Red Dead and Forza that both have static HUD's
@@iv3010
Not everyone is a basement dwelling obsessive gamer. I couldn't care less about that. I primarily watch movies on my OLED and don't game at all.
There are a lot of sellers moving the 55” C8 for around $1600, so buyers need to take that into consideration when comparing.
BEST TV REVIEWERS
DANI MADRID that would be vincent theo these guys are decent but he knows way more check him out
7 splinters trailer
Love my c7
Great video! question for you, I can get my hands on a brand new LG C8 55" for under $1800 OR I could get a 65" B6 like yours new in the box and everything for about $2,100, what should I do?
Waiting for Q9FN video!!!
Goud video. How is colorimetry in game mode? Many people say that it is ugly and that the pictures also in this mode.
Thanks for the review Rtings! The c8 is the best TV of the world!!! Now with black frame! Yay!!! In Game Mode! Best TV of 2018!!! I will have the of 65 inches!!!
Thanks Daniel. Quick question can you really notice the difference between a TV with 5500:1 and 4500:1 contrast
And would you say VA panels with higher contrast have worst viewing angles?
Is the af8 have better motion then this
It also has the best design to me .
ive been using my 1080p OLED for years with no burn in issues
bs11100010 This is very reassuring! Do you do a lot of gaming?
Looking forward to a TCL 6 series video...
If I don't calibrate my TV, which temperature setting is the best? Warm 1 or 2 and second question if I test your white balance, should I also use this setting in dolby vision mode? Thanks so much!
Hey Rtngs after watching tons of reviews including yours, i finally decided to get the C8 on Black Friday. However what i would like to know is if the TV can connect to smart LED light blob at home, or do i need to get Alexa for it to work?
Thanks In Advance!
How much was it on Black Friday
If I am right now getting the same price for LG C8 and Sony X900F and Samsung QF9 QLED and Sony A8 is expensive compared with this offer.
For a room with 500 nit lightning at day which is better ? LGC8 or Sony X900F?
TCL R615 is not available in my location.
Mine is average 30 degree Celsius warm tropical room.
Any chance on getting the TCL S517 anytime soon? It won't hit your pocket like the C8, that's for sure.
Hi
For when a Panasonic Oled 2018 review?
Why didn’t you guys do a review of the LG E8?
All hail the C8
very good image operating system the same but has big problems on the motion chapter!
I noticed recently that the C8 has a composite input. how does older sd content (vhs/laser disc) look on these sets?
I miss cedric, i would go for the sony oled for the upscaleing and motion alone, but the burn in is a deal breaker, sticking to led for a couple of years to they figure out oled.
I just got the LG OLED and it's really dark...what are the optimal brightness and contrast settings?
I spent 1500USD for the Sony X900F. Every peny worths it. Gaming with the X box one X is a blast. No input lag at all.
The tv made for my!
Will you do TCL 6 series and vizio p series this year to?
In the HDTVTEST the input lag say that is 21ms in 4k with HDR!You tell that the input lag is 29ms!Sorry for my English..
Daniel - have you seen a white rectangle pop up while watching Netflix? I ran into this problem on my 1-week old C8. any recommendations on how to fix?
Which disc calibrates the screen?
C8 anytime
Hi, which one is better UK7550PLA or SK7900PLA? The price is the same.
How is this compare to the Sony A8F,picture and sound quality-wise?
This organic compound that will degrade with usage... does that mean my tv is just going to fade out and lower quality over time? (Im not so worried about mitigating the burn in)
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.
I'm not sure if I like the fact that we can't turn off the dimming feature when watching brights or whites. I'll wait until OLED gets cheaper.
Hi i have question, when i will mirror let say 4k movie on mine 1080p native pc monitor to samsung mu8000 will it show 4k or upscaled 1080p? Do I need 4k monitor to mirror 4k on 4k tv or change resolution on mine 1080p monitor to 2160p?
I initially thought this was a Saturday Night Live skit.
no mention of better Game mode HDR?
I dunno why but he reminds me somehow of scarecrow for "Batman Begins"
Seems like someone has a gun aimed at you from behind the camera whilst saying "Be enthusiastic"
I think he's just trying to enunciate, english is most likely his second language, he's doing a great job.
Jonathan Grant all jokes aside, RTINGS is the BEST at reviewing current technology and explaining the terminology. I was just having a laugh.
Yes, it sounds like British is his first language.... with English his 2nd.
It's alright, not great. He needs to sound a little more relaxed.
I can tell you from experience its not easy to satisfy an audience when it comes to being a presenter on videos like these. But yes, it does seem like he was coached to bounce around while talking more.
Its a learning process for most presenting jobs like this. So expect Daniel to improve in time.
I really don't know which one is good c8 b8 or b7 i want this tv for gaming ps4 pro and movies but i read lg don't have a good brightness so please can any one help me to chose the best one for greatness game mode
#1. Who buys the TV's after your company finishes the review?
#2. Also, do you think VR (Oculus) will hurt the TV market?
#3. And, why haven't TV producers implemented auto-brightness sensors depending on room brightness (smartphone?)
is the 4k hdr input lag right? because other testing sites say its also 21ms??
I wish you’d keep still.
You have not talked about the new alpha 9 processor which is supposed to (according to LG) improve the upscale and picture processing.
And I don't understand your argument about LED TV for bright room and OLED for a dark room. To me, in both situations, the OLED looks better. I've seen a C8 and a Samsung Q9F side by side in a very bright TV store and in another store with less light, same conclusion OLED picture quality is better imo.
Emilien Durand ... I agree, Oled better for bright or dark rooms.. LED is just flat
Emilien Durand the only situation in which LCD would look better than OLED in a bright room is when there’s an abnormal amount of white on the screen which is almost never lol
LCDs are 3 times brighter, on average, than OLEDs so they should be better suited for bright rooms. I wouldn't say they look "better" but rather are better suited to the environment. I chose the LG C8 OLED because I have a theater room with no ambient light, but had I been using a room with tons of light spilling in, I would have chosen the Samsung QLED. You also have to remember that shops adjust their display TVs to full brightness setting specifically because the environment is so bright. You simply would not use those settings at home. If you did, your OLED wouldn't last very long.
I came to this conclusion as well when visiting my local Best Buy. The OLEDs just stood out even in the bright lighting of the store.
I have a b8 in my computer room and a Vizio in my living room. The extra brightness of the Vizio makes HDR stand out more. I actually prefer it over the awesome blacks of the Oled. Not to mention, never have to worry about the kids/burn in on the Vizio.
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.
I sent my OLED back from 2017 because of flicker issues....I'll stick with LED...Never had that problem before.
Caroline Stevens I agree way better.
Any recommended for picture settings ?
Did Cedric quit or where is he? Like new presenter guy too though :)
Hey Daniel!
So ABL is not a problem in dark rooms
Hello Daniel! I want to change my Panasonic VT60 for new tv. Which one is close to plasma? LG C8, Sony A1 or Samsung QLED?
Thank you!
Murat Adamov oled
LOLED?
will it blend?
Does anyone know how to get I to the service menu of this tv?
So ill be playing ffxiv for like 5 hours a night on this tv.... which means hotbars and text box up on screen whole time.... do you think ill get burn in doing that?
Edit: nm just got to that part in video
Nope! Go for it
Where is Cedric! :P
Looking for a replacement stand for this tv, any suggestions?
Oled is very cool
My 65 inch LG OLED tv got burn in after 6 months. LG offered me half the purchase price of the tv towards another LG product. According to LG the life span of a tv is 1 year. My 12 year old Sony XBR tv is now in my bedroom and still looking great. I will never purchase another LG product again!
Daniel :👍👍
Cedric :👍👍👍👍👍
Great video as always...
Is there any mark of permanent burn-in in your use of this C8?
How it will look like if wall mount?
Is there speakers in the base? What happen with this base if wall mount?
Then curved base will help the TV to direct the audio to you. You can actually wall mount it and the stand will be deemed as useless.
Seem like I will be buying 2017 model
How is the upscaling like on broadcast tv compared to c7.. thanks!
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.
Ok thanks guy.. I think im gonna hold onto my 65c7 and give 2018 upgrade a miss and wait for 2019 oled display.
+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.
It’s been a year for most of these comments. I’m thinking of purchasing this tv, but as a gamer and sports viewer, I’m worried about the burn in issue. Anybody who’s a gamer and sports fan notice burn in issues since the time they purchased the tv?
Why does every other review state 21ms input lag for 4K HDR gaming, but you say it 30ms. Why the discrepancy?
Sorry ratings but I disagree with your findings of the LG OLED C8 having been a owner of an LG OLED E8 which you're probably aware is the exactly same processor (Alpha 9 1st generation). I've owned the E8 for over 5 months and on average I've streamed on average 2 movies a day since ownership (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google etc) but I must stress the only content I've ever watched has been streamed. About 10 to 15% of the time the blacks are so bad I may as well get up walk into the bedroom and start watching on my Sony 4k LED Android tv instead. I'm absolutely gutted because that is practically the only reason why I purchased the LG E8 is because I wanted that cinematic experience, I even went out and purchased the black blinds with black curtains to make sure it is as dark as possible in my room, don't get me wrong over 85% of the time the picture is absolutely gorgeous but there are times when I'm watching HD content that is so bad it's like watching something from the 90s . Sometimes when I press pause and then play again there's no sound and so what I found works is by pressing the Netflix button or the opposite and press the Amazon button to reestablish the connection and if you're thinking of Wi-Fi in the LG B8 or C8 it's absolutely nightmare . Dropped connection at least a couple of times a week . Plus the buttons don't always work the first time. Also I have an extremely fast Virgin Media broadband I assumed the poor quality in picture is due to the Wi-Fi . So I went through a lot of trouble to get the TV hard-wired, I know I have all my wires up correctly because I have Dolby vision come up on my TV and Dolby Atmos comes up on my AV receiver, my Sony LED Android TV might be slow and clunky but it does exactly what it's supposed to do every single time 'absolutely Flawless', now I know why you pay more for Sony, it's called 'Quality'.!
The C7 is 1300€ and the c8 1600€ is the 300€ worth paying? (Gaming, And Netflix)
lg bought u guys?
Best Buy Black Friday 2018 will have this for $1,699, i have a dark mancave for my media room and Xbox One X, should i pull the trigger?
Thinking about this too for Black Friday, and I'm similar as I'll be pc/ps4 gaming (no FPS ones though so don't need to bother with response time too much), with a bit of movies now and again.
