They could be clearer when in scenes with lots of other noise. The only issue, as with most TV's with built-in audio, is with voices. Since this TV supports ARC and eARC it means there is passthrough for Dolby Atmos sound, so you can use a single remote to control that quality audio, even when connected to a soundbar. While all this is great, you can still attach a soundbar (opens in new tab) or home theater system (opens in new tab) and you'll get a more powerful and immersive result. You're limited to the 40W of power and that 2.2-channel physical setup, but what this television does with that is nonetheless impressive. The AI in this TV is smart enough to take normal stereo sound and upscale it to Dolby Atmos 5.1.2 virtual surround sound. While sound quality on most slim TVs isn't anything to get excited about, the improvements made in recent generations are big leaps forward. With games coming in at 4K and 120Hz this gets you a really impressive end result. The lack of HDR10+ may be a deal-breaker for some as that means top-end Amazon Prime Video quality isn't achievable.įor gaming, there is a Game Optimizer mode which gets the latency as low as under 10ms while adjusting the black, white and VRR for games thanks to Nvidia G-Sync smarts. While the new Alpha a9 Gen 4 processor does a great job of upscaling, it does leave a little to be desired when it comes to skin color. Add in the 100% sRGB color gamut backed by up to 12-bit color when in Dolby Vision mode and this produces a mind-blowing image. That results in a consistently high-quality image that, in this review's results, has enough brightness to suit any situation. The LG C1 has a built-in light sensor which detects the ambient light in the room and adapts the display to suit.
