Best Bang for the Buck this Year ...
Crutchfield customer from Fairfield, CA on 3/12/2023
So ... this TV was purchased as a gift, and will provide a review based on how and what is used. While We are pretty hard-core Sony fans, this TV replaced a 60" Sharp Aquios. There's no comparison here, even just staying with the basics. I waffled between Sony, Samsung, and LG before deciding to purchase the LG. Since this TV is to be used with an antenna, the tuner was an important part of the package. You get an ATSC 3.0 digital tuner, and combined with a decent antenna (good RG6 coax, grounding, etc) the TV does a good job bringing in both digital along with some of the crappy low-power digital stations in the central Virginia area. This is a rural setting so none of the smart TV functions such as streaming are being used. That will change once a decent WiFi source is secured along with installation of a router. So setup was a challenge but can be accomplished using a hotspot, and performed manually. Hook up was easy using the HDMI2-ARC connection to a sound bar in Our application. The TV won't be used for gaming, although is super gaming friendly between with the 4K connection ports, 120 refresh rates, and enhanced ARC. The remote control really is the most user-friendly and intuitive of any others I have used to date. The only thing which is painful, is the pointer feature. You can change some of the features in the settings like the speed or size of the pointer on the screen, but You can't turn it off. Or at least I haven't been able to find a work around t
Pros: - Pictures provide the most vibrant colors, clarity, and brightness on the market for the price point. - Factory speakers are better than most, but a soundbar is an upgrade if it's in the budget. - Lightweight ... not quite 1/2 the weight of previous sized models. - Set up is user friendly whether using the wizard, or performing manually. - Remote control is intuitive, and not crowded or confusing. - Gamer friendly with multiple 4K connections/120 refresh rate.
Cons: - Web OS is crowded with notes, notifications and displays, in addition to apps. - Pointer function can be changed in settings, but You can't turn it off. - No Owner's manual, or literature for review or use but available online.

Amazing
John from Hastings, MN on 2/10/2023
It isnt too often when a home electronics purchase makes me excitedf anymore. Until now. This TV made me sit up and take notice. I now wonder if I pushed off buying a 4k TV too long. We watch re-runs of MASH and other shows and skin tone lodok natural not faded or mottled. In short buy this TV.

Jennifer from Charlottesvle, VA on 2/2/2023
Beautiful TV with great clarity. This tv lives up to all the positive reviews. It has a very sleek, lightweight design. We did add a sound bar because of some of the reviews, but unless you want that extra depth of sound, I'm not sure you really need the sound bar.
Pros: weight overall look clarity ease of control use
Cons: Sound is not sound bar quality

Exceptional
Jeffrey from Mount Vernon, OH on 1/30/2023
Exceptional in every way. All the accolades that it has received are all validated. Also without the stand it only weighs 32 lbs.
Pros: Too many to list here but can easily be seen on the product details. Also have had nothing but great service from Cruthfield.

MY NEW LG OLED TV
John from The Villages, FL on 1/12/2023
This OLED TV was an upgrade from my 8-year-old LG TV. I am amazed at the difference in the OLDED resolution. This set is fantastic, worth every penny and the enjoyment of a superior picture from my old OLED TV makes the purchase worth much more than I actually paid for it. I'd recommend everyone think about then purchasing a new LG OLED TV!

Fantastic picture, but software isn't perfect.
Ryan from Bridgewater, NJ on 12/29/2022
The picture quality is fantastic. I have only had the TV for a few days, but overall I am happy with my purchase. I am a bit disappointed by the lack of apps compared to my Sony TV, especially to watch live sporting events (e.g. nbc sports, espn, etc...). The airplay works on this tv better than it does on my Sony TV, so that almost makes up for the lack of apps available as I can stream from the FIOS app on my mobile device.
Pros: Picture
Cons: Lack of available apps compared to Sony platform

Crutchfield is the best & TV is fantastic
Lloyd from Charlottesville, VA on 12/16/2022
I purchased the 55" version from Crutchfield 5 months ago for my daughter and it exceeds the hype and expectations. The 65" I purchased is currently stowed away as my wife's master bedroom XMAS present. Just wanted to thank Crutchfield for supporting all of us audio / video enthusiasts! Crutchfield truly is a top tier organization. I discovered Crutchfield 14 years ago and I have only had 5 Star experiences with them. Happy Holidays to Crutchfield and their hard working team. You are the best. Thank you!
Pros: Picture is perfect Sound better than expected but assed Sonos Beam for my daughter Easy set-up and navigation Picture configurations are easily performed
Cons: None that I know of based on my previous picture. Someone complained that ESPN+ app not available with LG but don't know that to be true.

Incredible OLED TV
Andrew from Concord, MA on 12/5/2022
Picture quality on this TV is amazing! It far exceeds our expectations; our first movie viewing was Dune, and the dark scenes were perfect. Bright scenes were super bright and captured the intensity of the desert scenes - no complaints about brightness. We replaced a 42" Samsung from 2009, and the change is dramatic. It took a while to get the volume controls to play nicely with our Sonos surround setup, but it finally works great. The overall setup and home app can be a little overwhelming, but we mostly keep to our AppleTV anyway. The Magic Remote sometimes pops up the "Wiimote" cursor in interfaces where it can't be used, which can be confusing. I'm also not sure we'll use the always-on display for artwork. Otherwise, I highly recommend this TV.
Pros: Amazing display; Super thin profile with a solid base; Fun to peel the sticker off this massive TV
Cons: Sonos soundbar setup via digital audio out was not intuitive. Home app is a bit too much.

High end TV
Gary from Henrico, VA on 11/23/2022
This is my first, "high end" TV and I am so happy with the picture. It looks better than real life.
Pros: The picture is beautiful, especially 4k. It is super lightweight.
Cons: It has to be handled carefully when installing, per instructions.

Best TV I've ever owned!
Paul from Yorktown Hts, NY on 11/21/2022
This TV is beyond amazing. I had it mounted and set up by professionals and I have it connected to my surround sound system. I switched to the TV speakers and even without the surround sound, the separation and clarity of the stereo sound was incredible! The picture is the most vivid and brilliant I have ever seen.
Pros: Sound and Vision!
Cons: None. I will say that navigating the settings and adjustments are a little bit of a learning curve but certainly worth the effort!

Wow! Mind blowing picture quality.
Dean from ORANGE, VA on 10/20/2022
I mean WOW! Incredible picture quality at a great price. I upgraded from a 55" LG OLED c9 (3years old) to this 65" c2. I honestly didn't expect much difference in improved picture (other than it being bigger), but oh was I wrong. The c2 blew me away. I was very impressed with it when watching my regular HD shows. But when I pulled up a 4K Dolby Vision Netflix nature documentary, I wanted to sing with the angels. One suggestion for those, like me, who want to tweak their settings to get the ideal picture quality (beyond the default picture modes) check out the YouTube video called LG 2022 OLED G2 C2 Complete Settings Guide And Tips by Classy Tech Calibrations. You'll be glad you did. Very helpful.
Pros: Exceptional picture quality. Wide viewing angle. Surprisingly decent sound quality (though I use my sound bar for added base and oomph).
Cons: Screen is reflective, but my windows have shutters I close for daytime viewing, so not a big deal for me.

65 LG OLED C2
Kevin from Cookeville, TN on 10/20/2022
I replaced a 2009 50 inch Samsung Plasma with this TV. Wow! It has a great picture and I am super satisfied so far. I stream with an Apple TV 4K and the picture is gorgeous. I have the 65 inch version. I could have bought elsewhere but I love Crutchfield service. I have been a customer for 37 years.
Pros: Great picture light and easy to assemble and move.
Cons: None

Awesome picture, much lighter than the c1.

Yep - It is all that and more. Gotta be the best TV picture ever. This is my second LG OLED - Upgraded the family room set because I never utilized the home theater room because the OLED in the living room was so much better.

As good as it gets.
Darren from Ontario, OH on 9/26/2022
This is a remarkable TV. I originally had a smaller LG OLED model C8 from a few years ago but wanted to move up to a 65" model because I was so impressed with the earlier model. I thought the difference would be negligible but I was wrong. The picture quality of the C2 is quite a bit better and brighter than the C8. Blacks are perfect and the contrast impeccable, especially with 4K HDR content. Regular HD content looks excellent too. The smart features are pretty much standard for an LG but I haven't really tested them out as I have an external ROKU for streaming. Plus, if you're into gaming, this television has you covered with all the latest features that HDMI delivers and a dedicated Game Mode. I tried long and hard to come up with any negatives before writing this review ..and I completely failed. I just can't find anything wrong with this TV. It needs a little calibration coming out of the box, but that is a given with pretty much any television these days. I'd highly recommend checking online ratings sites for their recommendations on where to start to get the best picture quality from this TV. All in all, I highly recommend this item as one of the best TVs on the market for 2022.
Pros: Absolutely amazing PQ in HD and 4K Great Game Mode
Cons: None.

Tom from Richmond, VA on 9/23/2022
I had a very good Vizio 55" TV. The LG picture is a major step up in all regards. Truly an epic viewing experience.
Pros: Terrific picture. Easy setup. Works great with LG soundbar.
Cons: None. Do not believe some reviews that tv stand is wobbly. Not so!

Great TV and support!
Mark from Ankeny, IA on 9/13/2022
Crutchfield recommended this TV based on where my price point needed to be. Great picture and intuitive setup that took only minutes to install in the media room. 4K DVDs look amazing and ATMOS surround sound system was easy setup as well. Delivery went smoothly and tech support assisted quickly with setup of accessories. Very pleased.

You wont be disappointed!
Raymond from Klamath Falls, OR on 9/12/2022
Our previous TV was almost 10 years old (on the high-end of the TV life cycles) and a third of the backlight panels were not working. Forget about watching any dark scene in a movie, even at night. After doing lots of research I originally settled on the C1, but then here comes the C2. Decided to wait until the C2 came out and the price dropped below $2K. Worth the wait. Hands down the best TV I have ever owned. When deciding between the C2 and the C1 I really appreciated that LG improved the brightness in the C2. The room where we have the C2 gets a lot of natural light and we never have to turn the brightness up if we are in Cinema mode. The PS5 and Apple TV 4K both look beautiful on the C2.

Not a bot, this seriously the best TV on the market!
John from Salina, KS on 9/12/2022
10 out of 10, wish my daughter broke my 4K Sony TV that I got back in 2016 a long time ago. I'm a huge PC and PS5 gamer, that was my initial selling point. I did a lot of research before buying my 65" C2 and the only thing that kept me from buying it sooner was the price. After having it for a solid month now, I only wish I made the purchase sooner. You seriously made a lifetime customer with this product!
Pros: As someone who went from a normal 4K TV to OLED, everything is a pro. I don't have a single regret for making getting my C2 other than I didn't do it earlier.
Cons: Put more reviews out on Facebook or something, if you would like to hire a professional reviewer hit me up??

Worth every penny. Unbelievable picture quality.

I am replacing a LG OLED 55" with the 65" evo, what a difference! Better daytime viewing better night time viewing, not even mentioning a much bigger picture. But the biggest difference is with very dark scenes you can actually see what is going on.

Outstanding Picture. Simple Interface
Jason from CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA on 6/23/2022
Picked this up to replace a 52" LCD that I had purchased way back in 2006. Because the bezel around the screen is so tiny, this 65" screen ended up taking up the exact same wall space as the old 52" I replaced... bonus! As you might imagine, the OLED colors are incredibly vibrant compared to the LCD this replaced, so it's hard not to be absolutely dazzled by the picture. Really appreciated the packaging. High quality foam kept it well protected for shipping while also being designed to easily remove in sections for unboxing. The directions show laying this down on a blanket to attach the wall mount, but once most of the foam packaging was removed, I was able to attach the wall mount brackets with the TV still safely standing in the bottom piece of foam (had a family member keep a hand on the TV just for some added safety). I'm amazed at how light this was to lift up on to the wall for such a large screen. Easily mounted, and has a nice thin profile. Setting up all of our streaming apps was a breeze. The Magic Remote is easy to use and I really like the relatively small size of it. It does a lot without needing a bunch of buttons.

Great Picture!
James from Goochland, VA on 4/26/2022
So far so good! Great picture!!! Even makes old B&W shows look better. Only thing I don't care for is the LG "home screen". This is where you go to change viewing sources, etc. Very cluttered and not easy to find streaming sources. Only had the set one day, though, so maybe "practice will make perfect".
Pros: Picture quality
Cons: Home screen navigation "tedious"
