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 205 thousand rubles. This is a 65-inch 4K Smart TV with an α9 Smart Processor optimized for LG only and a unique IPS panel. What else will the model surprise us with?
This model participates in rating of the best TVs, at rating of the best TVs 58-65 inches, at ranking of the best LG TVs, at ranking of the best Smart TV TVs and in Best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
65-inch display with UltraHD resolution (3840 × 2160 pixels). LG-specific IPS panel delivers wide viewing angles and rich colors without distorting the palette. Often, even on expensive TVs (especially on Samsung QE65Q7FNA) the colors are too oversaturated, the eyes get tired of such a picture. Supports HDR (expands contrast and color for more detail in the entire image). Black is really black, not gray or purple, a good bright picture for home viewing, there is even a sense of reality. Viewing angle - 180º.
Appearance
Dimensions - 1449 × 837 × 47 mm. The ultra-thin TV complements any interior. A thin frame around the perimeter is made of metal. The model looks like a painting on a wall. The set includes a wall mount - VESA standard 300 × 200 mm. The connectors are located on the rear panel, so all necessary connections are best done before wall mounting.
Connectors
Connectors are never small, but manufacturers often leave them at 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 W (2 x 20 W). The sound surprises with its power. There is bass, the sound is spacious. The Clear Voice III function suppresses noise, amplifies the sound of voices and Dolby Digital, DTS audio decoders. Even an expensive TV has problems with sound. For example, the model Samsung QE65Q7FNA for 165 thousand rubles the declared capacity does not correspond to reality.
Functions
LG OLED65C8 is a WebOS Smart TV designed specifically for LG TVs. The menu is very easy to use. Does not require unnecessary switching by the remote control. But it also has a small flaw - there are not enough buttons. PS4 games look great, but the built-in GTX1070 graphics card limits your choices. The built-in media player reads almost everything. This is a big plus: not all TVs for this price have a full-featured player. For example, Samsung has dropped the avi format since 2018. The TV uses wireless transmission of mobile device content to the TV. This feature is called WiDi. The model has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There is DNLA. This is a set of standards that allow compatible devices to transmit and receive various media content over a home network, display it in real time.

Comparing models in the price segment from 100 to 200 thousand rubles, LG OLED65C8 remains the leader in terms of functionality. A quality product will only bring pleasure to your viewing.The only downside to the model is the price, but it's worth it. Often you give big money only for the brand, and not for the functions, beautiful images, loud and high-quality sound. An example of such low-quality models - Samsung QE65Q7FNA (quiet sound, few applications on Smart TV, oversaturated picture) and Sony KD-65XF9005 (insufficient sound quality, Android slows down). If your plans for the next purchase are a good, expensive TV, without serious flaws for a long period of use, I advise you to take the LG OLED65C8.
