Thanks for the input. 55 inch CX definitely the one to go!

The only thing the C1 does better is above black level in dark scenes and much better motion interpolation for 24p content (movies) with its new cinematic motion option.

Other than that, everything else between the C1 and CX are very similar almost till the point of you need to be anal to point out the minute differences. The lower input lag does not mean anything, because the CX already has a low enough input lag that anything else lower you won't be able to feel.

Save your money, get the CX.

Thanks for the input, buddy. The CX 55" it shall be.

No need buy too expensive tv

Any 4k tv that can play 60fps is sufficient

Invest in a good sound bar instead

Pulled the trigger on the LG CX 55 and damn, what an upgrade it was. Very satisfied with the purchase 😁

Welcome to the OLED club.

Make sure to do some basic level calibration.

Thanks man!!

Yeah, did some calibration here and there for my ps5 using HGiG (both SDR and HDR), 4k SDR and HDR videos and Dolby Vision IQ for YouTube and Netflix. Do you normally turn off the TruMotion feature for your videos?

I always disable any motion interpolation on TVs. But you may try it out on the very lowest custom setting of deblur 0 and dejudder 1 on your CX as LG made some improvements with less artifacting over the C9.

Oni can affort this tv

Hi bro..mind sharing how much you got it for? I am seeing prices ranging from RM 5,999 to excess of RM 10k for the same model

I would like to know as well

Hi, I got it for RM5.8k range after rebate and use my shopee coins. Delivery is free and although some of the sellers might be cheaper but their delivery costs made it more expensive in the end.

Left two units and normally the last unit the price will balloon up. So see who pulls the trigger earlier. You will need to PM to get the RM100 rebate. Happy shopping.

Many thanks. Found a store where they had this model on display retailing for RM 5,999.00. They didn't even want to give a discount for it even though it had already clocked about 2,300 hours

That store is ridiculous but anyway, willing buyer willing seller in this case. There is another one in Shopee which still sells it at a cheap price of 5.8k with RM95 shipping fee. It's a hot item as the C1 is still expensive and you will not be losing out much with the CX.

Thanks for the recommendation bro..will get it from here

No worries mate. Enjoy the TV once you get it! Like what SSJBen recommend, please do some calibration for best results.

TV otw

What calibration do you recommend? Never did much tinkering with TVs before.

As with all other OLED TV , you want to switch to the right mode and tune down the brightness at first .
This is crucial because a large majority of the content you will be watching are SDR .

Therefore they don't require you to blast the brightness all the way up to 300 - 400 cd/m2 .

Expert - dark room is the more accurate mode .
OLED light of 20-35 is recommended for dark room , with gamma to BT.1886 OR 2.4 .
40+ for bright living room and gamma to 2.2 .


Since you most likely don't have a lightmeter , this is the pretty much the best you can do .



Playstation 5 also has a pretty crappy HDR implementation , you want to fix the raised black floor first since this affect picture quality .
+ 5 points to the brightness during SDR gaming mode should fix the problem . But this is based on the reading on the limited few OLED TVs I owned .

For very selected few games , such as CONTROL you want to revert back to default value since the developers have natively tune down the black level of the game .


Turn off any sort of sharpening , motion enhancement or smooth gradation .


Of course these are for LG OLEDs only .

That should cover it I guess, many thanks

Question though, shouldn't the output from the PS5 be HDR instead of SDR?

Yes which is stupid because a lot of games are still not HDR-compatible .

If you forced HDR on these games they are only making the game brighter as a whole , it does not improve Picture quality because dynamic range is still the same .

Go to setting - screen and video - video output , tick the " On when supported " option for HDR.

PS4 pro did this just fine , I have no idea why Sony has to make them so complicated on PS5 .
