Alright, fellow moms—here’s my brutally honest review of the LG C2 Series 65-Inch Class OLED evo Smart TV (OLED65C2PUA, 2022). I was head-over-heels for its stunning 4K picture, sleek dark silver finish, and all the fancy AI-powered, Alexa-integrated goodness it promised for our family movie nights. It truly was a centerpiece that made our living room look like a high-tech haven...until toddler chaos struck.Enter my three-year-old tornado. One minute we’re enjoying our favorite cartoon, and the next—BAM!—the remote (or "changer," as I lovingly call it now) takes flight and shatters the screen. Yes, you read that right: my little one literally turned our prized TV into a pile of broken glass. Apparently, the LG C2 isn’t exactly built with toddler-proofing in mind.After just two years of what I thought would be many years of cinematic bliss, our gorgeous TV succumbed to the unrelenting energy of toddler play. While it delivered a fantastic viewing experience when it worked, the reality is that in a household where tiny hands wield unpredictable force, durability is key—and this TV just didn’t cut it.So, if you’re considering this TV and you have a little one who might channel their inner NFL quarterback, be warned: it might not be the best fit for your home. It’s a perfect example of high-tech glam clashing with the real world of toddler antics. Save your money or invest in some serious screen protectors if you’re in the same boat as me!Stay strong, mama—tech may break, but our resilience (and our ability to laugh about it) remains unshattered.

The OLED display is incredible. The colors are vibrant, the blacks are truly black, and the overall clarity is unmatched. Watching movies feels like being in a theater.The built-in speakers are surprisingly good for a TV, with clear dialogue and decent bass. First I wanted to pair it with a soundbar, but ended up not buying a soudbar as I don't feel the ned to have it, the build-in speakers are great.The TV remote is easy to use and very intuitive—more convenient and user-friendly than the Samsung TV remote, in my opinion.

The picture quality is great, including the firmware and it’s very easy to set up by yourself if you have a 42inch tv , Good for gaming and movies including multi-tasks and very value for the price and size including a remote with batteries which is nice, the tv lasted me two years without no issues or screen burning but the tv also have apps too which is useful and build quality is high-end like a giant iPad .

This TV is the absolute best I have ever owned, no question. It performs very well in dimly lit and brightly lit rooms. The picture is phenomenal, and I absolutely love the myriad of settings to fine-tune everything exactly how I want.I game pretty extensively, and my experience of this TV with my Playstation 5 has been excellent! It makes for a great gaming experience, can handle everything that the PS5 is capable of, and I simply love the 'game mode' that the TV has, complete with being able to select the type of game I am playing and it automatically adjusts several settings to match the game.A big plus for me is the screen burn prevention technology that this TV comes with. The ever so slight dimming of static displays on the screen (a HUD in virtually every game I play), and minor, periodic repositioning of those static images to help prevent screen burn are great! You legitimately don't even notice either feature unless you are really paying attention to it, but it does enough that I have yet to have a single issue with screen burn in the last nearly 4 months of heavy gaming. The TV looks just as good right now as it did when it first came out of the box.My ONLY knock on this TV, and it is a relatively minor issue, is that is occasionally thinks I'm talking to it to issue a command when I'm simply gaming with friends. Can be a minor distraction when the prompt comes up on the screen, but it's not a major issue. I ensured that I have the setting off that would allow for hands-free Alexa control, instead opting for it to function under the push-and-hold of the Alexa button on the remote, but somehow that doesn't seem to stop the TV from infrequently trying to operate hands-free regardless. Again, not a huge issue, just a minor annoyance. Everything else that this TV offers far outweighs such a minor thing, so my rating remains at 5 stars.Simply put, if you want a fantastic OLED TV that definitely delivers on what it promises, the C2 is the way to go. I see that the C3 is about to launch, but the 65" C2 at under $1700 is perfect for me. I don't have any desire to pay $2500 for the 65" C3 for what is very likely a minor upgrade, if any at all. I'd have to imagine the C3 might have some software and/or UI changes that may somehow improve general quality-of-life, but I find it very unlikely that the screen quality and image quality of the C3 will be any different. Short of being an 8K resolution, there's nothing I can see where it could be improved. (8K is absolutely useless right now anyway; essentially no media content is in 8K).Perfect TV without draining your savings account! I may end up buying a second one for my bedroom, in all honesty. It's that good.

I got the TV 2 weeks ago.Installing a vesa wall mount was really easy. TV is lightweight compared to my old 2010 Sony LCD.Image quality and brightness is totally crazy coming from an old TV...PS5 image quality and fluidity is amazing !Sound quality is great too with a lot more bass than my previous one. I will still plus my external 5+1 speakers at some pointSo far, the only two bad points are :- the webOS 22 home screen is holding too much stuff, some of which you can't remove- the remote control (called magic... not sure what is magic there) is NOT ABLE to control any other device by default, and no keys can be re-assigned to special functions (beside quick app or input change). I can't believe I still have to switch 3 remotes to go from the cable TV to youtube to PS5... but I guess it's the same with other TV vendor's remote...
