Hands-on review of the LG C9 OLED TV.

The LG C9 OLED is an excellent TV. Like all OLED TVs, it delivers outstanding dark room performance, thanks to the perfect inky blacks and perfect black uniformity. In this review, we compare it to 4 other popular models.

It has an outstanding response time, delivering clear motion with no blur trail, but this does cause stutter when watching movies. The LG C9 also supports HDMI 2.1 on all four ports, although there is currently little advantage to this, as there are no HDMI 2.1 sources available.
Unfortunately, like all OLED TVs, there is a possibility of experiencing permanent burn-in, and the brightness of the screen changes depending on the content (ABL), which may bother some people.

Model tested: 55” (OLED55C9PUA)
Should also be valid for the other 65” (OLED65C9PUA), and 77” (OLED77C9PUA).
