**The LG 77C1: A Gaming TV Like No Other**

When it comes to gaming TVs, there are many options on the market that cater to various budgets and viewing preferences. However, with the introduction of OLED technology from LG, gamers can expect a level of immersion and responsiveness that was previously unimaginable. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the LG 77C1, a behemoth of a TV that's perfect for living room gaming sessions.

**Immersive Viewing Experience**

The LG 77C1 is a massive screen that measures in at 77 inches, making it the perfect size for a living room setting. When paired with the right combination of in-game settings, this TV can deliver an immersive viewing experience that's unparalleled on traditional TVs. With its true 120Hz refresh rate and high response time, the 77C1 can display up to 100 frames per second, ensuring that fast-paced games like Call of Duty: Warzone are a breeze to play. The result is a fluid and rich picture that draws you into the game world, making it feel incredibly realistic.

**Exceptional Viewing Angles**

One of the standout features of OLED technology is its exceptional viewing angles. This means that friends and family sitting far off to the left or right won't notice warped color or distorted images. The LG 77C1 takes this to a new level, offering virtually no delay between the TV's response time and the player's reactions. Whether you're using a mouse and keyboard or controller, the TV reacts with lightning speed, making it ideal for fast-paced games like racing titles.

**Color and Contrast**

The LG 77C1 is not just about raw processing power; its OLED panel also delivers exceptional color accuracy and contrast ratios. This results in a visually stunning experience that's perfect for arcade and simulator-style racing games like Dirt 5. The TV's ability to display a wide range of colors, even at high speeds, makes the on-screen action feel incredibly vivid and immersive.

**Response Time and Input Lag**

One of the most significant advantages of OLED technology is its response time, which measures how quickly the panel can switch between different pixels. In this case, the LG 77C1 boasts a mind-boggling 1 millisecond response time, making it virtually indistinguishable from human reaction time. This means that even in fast-paced games like Call of Duty: Warzone, you won't notice any lag or delay between your actions and the TV's response.

**A Gamer's Paradise**

For PC gamers, the LG 77C1 is a dream come true. With its high refresh rate, fast response time, and low input lag, this TV makes gaming a joy to experience. No longer are you sectioned off in your office; with the 77C1, you can enjoy modern games in ultra-crisp 4K at frame rates far higher than the typical 30 or 60. This is especially true for racing games like Dirt 5, which benefit from the TV's exceptional color accuracy and contrast ratios.

**Conclusion**

The LG 77C1 is a gaming TV that truly stands out from the crowd. With its massive size, exceptional viewing angles, and stunning picture quality, it's perfect for living room gaming sessions. Whether you're playing fast-paced games like Call of Duty: Warzone or arcade-style racing titles like Dirt 5, this TV delivers an immersive experience that's hard to match. If you're in the market for a new gaming TV, be sure to check out the LG 77C1 and see for yourself why it's one of the best in class.

**Special Thanks**

We'd like to extend our gratitude to LG for providing us with the opportunity to review their latest OLED TV technology. We've seen many takes on gaming with TVs on YouTube before, but this experience has been truly unique. The 77C1 is a testament to the power of OLED technology and its ability to deliver exceptional picture quality, response time, and immersion.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is an lg 77 c1 4k oled tv it's roughly 68 inches wide and 39 inches tall good for a 77 inch diagonal form factor now you might be wondering what the heck i'm doing with one well we've partnered with lg to showcase it's exceptional gaming characteristics among other things yes gaming on this tv see most conventional televisions out there and i'm putting conventional in quotes because they're not oled tvs are actually quite bad for gaming of really any kind to be honest input lag ghosting refresh rates they're just not built for intensive pc gaming and the latest consoles and that's where lg's razor thin oled offering step in models like this c1 not only employ the latest self-lit pixels for true blacks and excellent color they also factor in features like motion pro which reduces motion blur and g-sync as well as free sync for ultra smooth experiences in game you know what tv takes pc gaming seriously when it's packing both g-sync and freesync lg also includes a game optimizer panel in the c1's menu good for calibrating picture and varying levels of acceptable motion blur and sound you can optimize for the specific game you're playing and set up defaults for different hdmi connections at the back of the tv so you won't need to manually change picture profiles every time you switch between say pc gaming and netflix it's within the game optimizer panel that you can also enable g-sync and freesync g-sync in our case was enabled by default but freesync was not so be sure to enable it if you're running a compatible amd graphics card now a bit more on the compatibility between lg oled tvs like this one and the latest graphics card offerings from both team green and team red see for quite a while no consumer grade card on the market was capable of fully utilizing a 4k 120 hertz oled tv and the reason was always hdmi see these lg oleds have been repping hdmi 2.1 for a few years but only recently have graphics cards implemented native hdmi 2.1 ports so both ampere and rd and a2 should finally be good to go whereas before even with something as latest touring architecture you need to use some sketchy displayport 1.4 to hdmi 2.1 adapter and what few of those exist in the wild appear to be rather inconsistent so being able to take advantage of a graphics card's native hdmi 2.1 port and connected via ultra high speed hdmi cable directly to the tv that there is something special it's plug and play no bs it just works and that is so nice because now we don't need to either reduce the resolution of the tv in order to experience the tv's high refresh rate or reduce the high refresh rate of this unit in order to experience true 4k we get both now and that makes these c1 models great for modern gaming and that's why i built this small yet powerful gaming pc for the entertainment setup in our living room it includes an amd radon rx 6800 which boasts the hdmi 2.1 port we will need for full 4k 120 hertz immersion and i'll be sure to try out a few different games to demonstrate the sequence advantages over vanilla led backlit counterparts the first game we'll try is gta 5 which encompasses both slow and fast paced scenes depending on what you're doing with the right combo of in-game settings we're sitting comfortably above 100 fps which again doesn't go to waste here because the 77 c1 has a true 120 hertz refresh rate none of that tv marketing jargon you've probably seen elsewhere that attempts to make 60 hertz seem like something that it's not you'll see all 120 frames per second here and wow does it look good on such a big and vibrant screen there's something so satisfying about relaxing on your couch feet propped up and vibing to some gta on the big screen with such a fluid and rich picture and considering how far back i'm sitting here in our living room let's be honest this is not very big at all i'd say the 77-inch form factor is perfect for immersion of this type and another important note here another advantage of oled technology is exceptional viewing angles meaning friends and family won't see warped color distorted images if they happen to be sitting far off to the right or left let's move on to a different game say call of duty war zone pretty popular first person shooters were always the achilles heel though of modern televisions but the introduction of oleds from lg erase any trace of serious input lag which would otherwise put us at a disadvantage in a game like this our reactions need to be as quick as our opponents so it's important that the tv keep up and react as quickly as our hands do whether it be with mouse and keyboard or controller and you can see here just how responsive the 77c one is when in game mode virtually no delay and super crisp video at the same time we have a one millisecond response time in fact so you shouldn't notice any serious ghosting either when quickly pivoting left or right honestly call of duty is where i expected this experience to diminish a bit it's never as ideal sitting so far back from your screen but again since this c1 is so large in a living room of this size i think it is the perfect form factor i don't find myself wishing i was any closer to the screen which is typically what i do with my 27-inch monitors i lean in a bit more this tv feels so immersive and it's amplified by excellent color right you have insane contrast ratios and superb response time all that mixed together is just such a great experience in the living room so let's test out one additional game then dirt 5. racing games have always looked pretty good on big screens but never this good see when your car is moving at a high rate of speed like this these areas around the subject tend to be a bit of a blur they're just moving so fast right but high refresh rates reel these images back in making them much clearer for the driver and adding an extra layer of fluidity and immersion to a rather stagnant perspective and in this scenario as much as the last having minimal input lag is vital for accurate breaking points and turn-ins simply put lg's latest oled offerings are perfect for arcade and simulator style racing if that's your jam now i want to take a minute to thank lg for giving us a chance to feature one of their prominent oled tvs on this channel i'd seen many takes on gaming with tvs in the past on youtube but when lg reached out about a gamer's take specifically on their oled tv technology i could not resist i think this is one of the best in class tvs out there i really do it's why i agreed to work with them there's a reason so much technology is packed inside one of these and it makes pc gaming a straight up joy finally something that brings me back to the living room for gaming like i'm no longer sectioned off in my office secluded for my wife and kids i can just sit on the couch with my little one even though his controller's turned off because he has no idea what he's doing yet and and just enjoy playing modern games in ultra crisp 4k at frame rates much higher than the typical 30 or 60. so if the 77c one seems like something you'd be interested in be sure to click the top link in this video description they offer various sizes of the c1 as well so you aren't just you know locked into one budget and one form factor and remember that despite our gaming centric focus in this particular video oled still have plenty of advantages over traditional backlit units when it comes to you know the typical movie and cable viewing as well it's just nice to know that lg's oleds are very good at multiple things and that i think is one of the biggest selling points here that's all for this one be sure to leave a like comment down below and subscribe if
