LG OLED77C5 review: Still a Sweet Spot for OLED Excellence
By Rachel Kim, World-Today-News.com – November 2, 2023
LG’s C-series OLED TVs have long been the go-to recommendation for consumers seeking premium picture quality without the top-tier price tag. The LG OLED77C5 continues that tradition,delivering a stunning visual experience that balances cutting-edge technology with accessibility.While not boasting every innovation found in LG’s flagship G-series, the C5 remains a compelling choice for those looking to upgrade to OLED. We give it a 9/10.
What’s Great:
* Brighter OLED EX Panel: The C5 utilizes LG’s EX panel technology,resulting in noticeably brighter and more vibrant images compared to previous generations.
* Remarkable Image Customization: LG’s renowned picture processing and calibration options allow for a highly personalized viewing experience.
* Four Full-Bandwidth HDMI 2.1 Ports: Gamers and home theater enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of four HDMI 2.1 ports, each capable of handling 48Gbps – essential for next-gen consoles and high-performance devices.
What Could Be Better:
* DTS Support Removed: A notable omission is the removal of DTS audio support,which may disappoint users with existing DTS-based audio setups.
* Ads on the Home Screen: The inclusion of advertisements on the main smart TV interface is a growing trend and a frustrating one for many users.
Design and connectivity: Familiar and Functional
The LG OLED77C5 largely retains the sleek and minimalist design language of its predecessor, the C4. The central, non-adjustable stand provides a stable base, while the rear panel features a subtle, textured finish.Connectivity is robust, with four HDMI 2.1 ports offering full 48Gbps bandwidth for the latest gaming and streaming devices.
