**LG QD C1 77-Inch TV Review: A Powerhouse for Gaming and Entertainment**

Seems you can't miss this one, and indeed, you cannot. This is not an OLED, and it's clear that LG has done something special here with the QD C1. As we can see, it's a 77-inch behemoth of a TV, and if you're interested in getting your hands on one, last year's model costs about £300 more than this one. However, as well as being more expensive, it does not get as bright, and so if you are using the TV in a bright room or if you are an idiot like me and putting the TV opposite a window then that extra brightness is definitely going to come in handy.

The only downside to this TV, and it's not unique to this TV but as you can see, it is quite reflective. So keep that in mind when it comes to where you're gonna place your TV. Speaking of which, while you can wall mount this if you prefer, I am using the stand, and as you can see with this 75-inch model even the bigger sizes can comfortably fit on pretty much any TV stand. Also, it sits high enough that there's room to put a sound bar underneath the screen although it will need to sit on top of the two feet that protrude out the front around the back.

We have four HDMI ports, two of which are the latest and greatest 2.1 spec, which gives you up to full 4K 120 support, and one of these also supports e-ARC if you want to hook up an external soundbar or speaker system. The TV's built-in speakers are fine but don't skimp on the sounds. Do offer a good range of soundbars although personally I use a Sonos Arc now.

**Setting Up and Using the LG QD C1**

The first thing I recommend doing when you've got your TV set up is to check that you have the latest software, then I would suggest going into picture settings and turning off the motion processing, and also dropping the sharpness boost feature thing down to zero. We get the usual range of picture modes but generally, I stick to ISF Expert Bright or Dark depending if well if I'm watching in the day or night but it will automatically switch to HDR Game Optimizer or FilmMaker modes depending on the source so you really don't need to worry about it.

Powering everything is LG's Alpha 7 Gen 4 AI processor, which just rolls right off the tongue there and that handles all the 4K upscaling and AI Picture and Sound modes, which you can actually turn off if you want although I like to keep them on. It's funny, if you asked me like five years ago what's the biggest TV you'd ever have in your house I would say well maybe 55, 65 inches at a push but no bigger than that it just gets ridiculous, I've got a 75-inch here there's an 86-inch version of this which is frankly just ridiculously huge, which is also 8K and you get more dimming zones so it is a higher-end model.

**Gaming Performance**

Now for gaming, this checks all the boxes: 4K HDR 120Hz HDMI 2.1, that's along with low response times and low input lag auto-low latency mode, and also VRR or Variable Refresh Rate support. And actually in games that properly support it like Spider-Man Miles Morales we're basically getting an uncapped frame rate which is a pretty huge deal. Does go some way to take advantage of the TV's 120Hz refresh.

However, I do have one issue with this TV though going back to the full-screen home dashboard and actually even just navigating to the menus all can feel a bit slow and it is something I found is much faster on the newer models with the new Gen 5 processor. It's not exactly the end of the world but it can get a bit frustrating, I think for most people the 65-inch version of this is probably going to be the one that you'd want to go for; it's a fair bit cheaper at £1,500 and also well less massive.

**Final Thoughts**

Obviously, this is not the only TV that is going to be discounted they all get cheaper as the months go on and particularly around Black Friday and big sort of holiday seasons but if you want a big bright TV with a good picture quality that's great for gaming and well does everything you need I reckon the QD C1 is definitely worth considering. And I will leave a link in the description below if you fancy checking it out what about you though are you a day one shut-up-and-take-my-money kind of person or do you like to wait for deals or even buy second-hand let me know in the comments below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: ennormally i like showing you guys the latest best shiny flagship tech that costs like a million pounds and no one can actually afford this video is a little bit different because well this is actually last year's tv yep it's the 75-inch lg qned mini led quantum dot tv which is a bit of a mouthful but why the heck am i talking about this when it came out last summer in 2021 well it's simple really because the best advice i can give anyone looking to buy a brand new tv is to wait unlike smartphones and laptops and actually a lot of consumer tech tvs are renowned for coming down in price pretty quickly and so now this qned 91 has been out for almost a year it's actually gone down from a whopping thirty seven hundred pounds nearly four grand at launch to just 2200 and it's even cheaper for lg members on their website but that is a whopping 40 off in about 10 months and it's a similar story for the 65-inch model 2500 down to 1500 which makes a tv like this which to be honest with you i probably wouldn't give a second look at that original price well now if you want a big tv with solid picture quality all the smarts and streaming apps you could shake a stick at ready for the summer and the world cup later this year well it's definitely worth considering now a big thank you to lg for sending this tv over and also offering to sponsor this video as always though all opinions are my own and i particularly wanted to make this video because it is all about getting the best value for money i should say though if you are interested in maybe buying this tv or just finding out more i have put a link in the description below but what makes this stand out well first of all lg's qned stands for quantum dot nano cell led so it's building on their nano cell tech by adding a quantum dot layer which boosts the brightness and the colors and also adding mini led backlighting now i'm sure by now you're pretty familiar with mini led tvs but the idea is that we have thousands of leds lighting or backlighting the panel whereas on a regular led lcd you have a few hundred we also have hundreds of dimming zones with this again far more than a regular full array backlit tv and so all together it's a pretty big upgrade the higher contrast the higher brightness peaking at a thousand nits and also we get less blooming and overall a more uniform picture now of course this still can't match the self-lit pixels of an oled tv and they're near infinite contrast and super inky blacks you can see in these super dark images that there is still some blooming and light bleed but this is still a big step up over traditional led tvs and even their older nano cell tvs and particularly in hdr whether it's a tv show a movie or you've got your ps5 or your xbox hooked up the picture on this thing is stunning in dark seams you can of course tell it's not an oled and actually if you are interested a 77-inch lg c1 again last year's model costs about 300 more than this q ad however as well as being more expensive it does not get as bright and so if you are using the tv in a bright room or if you are an idiot like me and putting the tv
