If you want a more cost-efficient option with high-quality picture and good performance in dark rooms, the LG A2 OLED might suit you. Its picture quality is quite solid, but it may not perform as well in very bright rooms, and its gaming capabilities are more limited compared to the LG C2 OLED. On the other hand, the LG C2 OLED is ideal if you're an avid gamer or if you frequently watch fast-paced sports—it has better motion processing and response time. It also has a slightly better picture in bright rooms and better sound quality. However, it is more expensive than the A2. Both models offer excellent dark room performance and color accuracy. The C2 also has an additional HDMI port and supports a 120Hz refresh rate, further enhancing its gaming performance. Give Feedback

Techradar

Al Griffin | August 2022
"Movie fans will find a lot here to love, and the A2 series’ low prices compared with other OLED TVs will keep their wallets happy. Images had the deep blacks and detailed shadows typical of the best 4K TVs, while colors looked both fully saturated and clean. Also, the A2’s out-of-box picture performance in Filmmaker mode was mostly accurate, requiring only slight adjustments to optimize brightness, color, and contrast."

CNET

David Katzmaier | November 2022
"The C2 offers image quality that's a clear step above any non-OLED TV I've seen. The C2 is rare among high-end TVs in that all four of its HDMI ports support 4K/120, great for hard-core gamers with multiple next-gen devices. The C2 is plenty bright enough for just about any viewing environment. It also outperforms QLED TVs like the Samsung QN90B and TCL 6-Series. That's why I consider the LG C2 the best high-end TV for the money of 2022."
