When choosing a TV, you should know that the price will not always correspond to the quality. I came across many models where the price was above average, and the quality left much to be desired. After analyzing the market, I drew attention to the LG OLED65C8 for . This is a Smart TV with a diagonal of 65 inches, 4K resolution, a smart α9 processor, which is optimized only for LG, and a unique IPS matrix. What else will surprise us with the model?
This model is involved in ranking of the best TVs, in ranking of the best TVs 58-65 inches, in ranking of the best LG TVs, in Top Smart TVs and in ranking of the best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Screen with a diagonal of 65 inches with a resolution of UltraHD (3840 × 2160 pixels). Unique IPS matrix, adapted for LG, provides wide viewing angles and rich colors without distortion of the palette. Often even expensive TVs (especially Samsung QE65Q7FNA) colors are too oversaturated, eyes from such a picture quickly get tired. Supports HDR (expands contrast and color reproduction for greater detail of the entire image). Black color is really black, not gray or purple, a good bright picture for home viewing, even a sense of reality. Viewing angle - 180º.
Appearance
Dimensions - 1449 × 837 × 47 mm. Ultra-thin TV will complement any interior. A thin frame around the perimeter is made of metal. The model looks like a picture on the wall. The kit includes a wall mount - VESA standard 300 × 200 mm. The connectors are located on the rear panel, so all the necessary connections are best done before mounting on the wall.
Connectors
There are never enough connectors, but manufacturers often leave them to a minimum and only the most necessary. HDMI x4, USB x3, Ethernet (RJ-45), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, WiDi, Miracast, headphone jack and CI + support.
Sound
LG has two built-in speakers with a total power of 40 watts (2 to 20 watts). The sound is surprising in its power. There are basses, surround sound. The Clear Voice III function suppresses noise, amplifies the sound of voice and Dolby Digital, DTS audio decoders. There are problems with sound even in an expensive TV. For example, the model Samsung QE65Q7FNA behind declared capacity is not true.
Functions
The LG OLED65C8 is a WebOS-based Smart TV designed specifically for LG TVs. The menu is very easy to use. It does not require unnecessary switching with the remote control. But there is a small flaw in it - there are not enough buttons. Games with PS4 look great, but the integrated GTX1070 graphics card limits their choice. The built-in media player reads almost everything. This is a big plus: not all TVs at this price have a fully functional player. For example, Samsung has abandoned the avi format since 2018. The TV uses the wireless content of the mobile device on the TV. This feature is called WiDi. The model has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is a DNLA. This is a set of standards that allow compatible devices to transmit and receive various media content over the home network and display it in real time.

Comparing models in the price segment from , LG OLED65C8 remains the leader in functionality. A high-quality product will bring only viewing pleasure. The only drawback of the model is the price, but it's worth it. Often you give crazy money only for a brand, and not for functions, beautiful images, loud and high-quality sound. An example of such low-quality models is Samsung QE65Q7FNA (quiet sound, few applications on Smart TV, oversaturated picture) and Sony KD-65XF9005 (insufficient sound quality, slows down Android). If the plans for the next purchase include a good, expensive TV, without serious shortcomings for a long period of use, I advise you to take LG OLED65C8.
