One issue that OLEDs continue to struggle with – and these two top models are no exceptions to this – is the reflection behavior. Accordingly, light sources and highlights show up noticeably on each of the screens β especially in dark scenes during our comparison of the LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2.
Even the higher peak brightness of the Gallery TV cannot compensate this. A slight pinkish cast is also visible during reflections on the G2. The reason for this is the anti-reflective coating and could already be observed in the predecessor.
When it comes to the so-called viewing angle in the comparison between the LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2, both TVs perform in a completely different league and impressively demonstrate the strengths of an OLED panel.
For example, the picture retains enough brightness even when looking at the action from an angle and shows an excellent color performance. So, it practically does not matter where you position yourself as long as you can still see the content well due to the image distortion.
You do not have to worry about sufficient contrast. Both devices perform wonderfully in our comparison of the LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2 when it comes to content with standard dynamic range. In terms of power consumption, however, the G2 is less demanding and comes out on top.
If we look at scenes in HDRHigh Dynamic Range – image/video with more dynamic range (contrast range), the G2 can exploit its full performance and really makes the screen glow for OLED standards thanks to the additional heat dissipation of the self-luminous pixels.
Even the C2 cannot keep up with that and is left with the short end of the stick. Furthermore, the difference in the Gallery TV’s power consumption in HDR mode is even bigger.
Whether you choose the C2 or the G2 is irrelevant in terms of streaming. You will find the same extensive offer on both devices. The flat Gallery version is slightly ahead in terms of pure picture performance in our LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2 comparision. The same applies to the sound.
Although LG provides DTSMulti-channel-sound-system (Surround Sound) competing with Dolby Digital and Dolby AtmosObject-based surround sound format with 3D-Sound from any direction as codecs, the C2 has to get by with two channels less. The sound is always clean and dialogs can be understood well, but it clearly needs more pressure in lower ranges.
Not only the C-series in our comparison of the LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2 is all about gaming, but the design flagship also has the entire range of features in its case that you need for a cultivated gaming session. The features on the spec sheet could hardly be more balanced.
Great response time, low input lag, 4K with 120 frames, AMD FreySync and Nvidia G-SyncVariable Refresh Rate for Nvidia graphics cards. Even the small gap of 40 Gbps in the G1 has now been closed by the G2. This means that modern TVs can hardly be better positioned at the moment.
Both tvs in our comparison of the LG OLED evo C2 vs LG OLED evo G2 ensure an excellent display quality even during quick scene changes and fast movements. Uniform surfaces are also displayed without spots and are thus not subject to the so-called dirty screen effect. The result is a positive effect on sport broadcasts and an overall viewing impression on a very high level.
Both TVs score equally with many additional features and come to you with webOS 22 preinstalled. This, in turn, initially expands the feature list with Hand Free Voice Control. Friends of voice assistants in particular will be happy about this.
While you used to have to pick up a remote control every time you want to communicate with your TV, this is no longer necessary. From now on, voice commands will be accepted and implemented without further ado. You can use Alexa, Google Assistant or LG’s own ThinQ AI for that.
Setting up multiple users is now also possible on both TVs and ensures individualized profiles. The Gallery Mode is only available on the G2. With its help, you can transform the flat photo frame TV into a real work of art and adapt it to your setup in an interesting way.
Both are capable of recording via USB, timeshift and provide the Apple package. Unlike the C2, however, the G2 has the C+ 2.0 module standard.
In many respects, both devices can undoubtedly be called top models and thus rank quite high in the table of the best TVs. However, LG’s OLED evo G2 ultimately wins this comparison and ranks a bit better than LG’s OLED evo C2 – not least because of the built-in heat sink.
However, there is still something to be mentioned in favor of the C2: Depending on the size, the price decrease compared to the G2 can be quite high. Apart from that, the Gallery TV does not come with its own stand. Instead, LG provides you with a suitable mounting bracket in the delivery box. However, if wall mounting is not an option for you, you will have to purchase the base separately – extra costs that would not be incurred with the C-series model in such a case.
If you don’t care about the design and don’t want to mount the TV on a wall, you can go for the TV of the gaming series without any risk. However, the G2 could be a bit more interesting for fans of a well-matched interior design in combination with the Gallery mode and the higher brightness.
