C2 48 inch 4K Smart OLED TV

Product Information

Previously only available on higher models, AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro are now standard on the OLED48A26LA. AI Picture Pro uses deep-learning algorithms to recognise content, remove noise and optimise the picture. AI Sound Pro leans from more than 17 million audio data points, identifying voices, effects and frequencies. From here, it optimises the sound by genre, giving a more natural sound quality. The LG OLED48C1 is a terrific all-round TV and one that’s easy to recommend to anybody. The Philips 48OLED806 might be better for pure cinematic performance but this LG is more usable and significantly easier to get the best out of.

For ultimate detail, in all environments, this LG OLED features Dolby Vision IQ. Dolby Vision IQ version uses data within the signal and light sensors inside the TV to adjust the picture quality for the best contrast. This improves the picture’s brightness, without ‘washing out’ the depth. You get a consistent picture quality, however light or dark your room is. Whether you’re watching a brightly lit sports event or moody movie, Dolby Vision IQ adjusts to suit. It’s equally impressive as we head inside Ego’s craft. The sculpted white curves of the egg-shaped vessel’s interior look wonderfully three-dimensional so long as you don’t get drunk on the punch power that’s available with the contrast enhancer. With Peak Brightness on High and the HDR Tone Mapping filter at work, the picture finds an excellent balance between dynamism and subtlety. The LG OLED C2 is equipped with the latest 9 Gen5 AI processor 4K, which is capable of automatically identifying and optimising the material you're watching for the best possible picture and sound. LG's self-lit OLED TV is the pinnacle of television technology. The screen's pixels are all self-lit, resulting in perfect contrast, 100 percent colour accuracy, and pixel-perfect details for the ultimate viewing experience. You get even more brightness and sharpness with the new OLED evo technology, which has a 9 Gen5 AI processor and Brightness Booster technology for true brilliance in content clarity. Everything is in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Common Strengths and Weaknesses

That’s all controlled by the brains of the TV, the latest incarnation of LG's Alpha 9 processor, the quad-core Alpha 9 Gen 4. With this new birth comes a few picture and sound upgrades. Object Enhancement is now sophisticated enough to recognise whole bodies as well as faces, animals, cars and other things. Sound can now be upmixed to an Atmos-virtualised 5.1.2. The best solution is, of course, to buy a soundbar or dedicated home cinema system. But you knew that, right? Verdict With its exceptional contrast and rich depth of image, OLED continues to set a standard that’s hard to beat. This LG 48 inch TV is smaller than the more usual 55 or 65 inch LG OLED TV, making it ideal for smaller rooms or simply for a more discreet look in your home.
