    Okay did a bunch of research and found a way to disconnect and pair each remote to the proper TV. However, power seems to be a universal function. So the workaround is to use the LG ThinQ App on my iPhone and register both TVs and I can use that to turn on each TV independently, and then use...

    For those who own multiple LG TVs...is there a way to have Power only affect one set? My Smart Remotes seem to be paired mostly with the TV they came with, so the C1 and C2 remotes (despite looking virtually identical) will only affect the proper TV for basically every button except power. I can...

    Lol at the $5K range I think you will be around to see that become a reality. I'm living more in the $2500 range so that's why I'll eventually look at projection. But logistically speaking I could probably fit an 83" in here, but nothing larger without wall mounting, and I've already mentioned...

    Thanks for the link Sam, I'll check it out. I've decided this is likely the last TV of this size I will buy before going to projector. It's of such high quality and honestly at my viewing distance there is no gain to going up to 8K, and it's cost inefficient to consider an 83" in the future...

    What I'm about to write I have no measurable way to prove, only anecdotal "this is what my eyes/brain tell me". One of the things I do a lot these days is watching YouTube through the TV. Ironically it's probably the streaming service I watch most after 4K movies on disc. Obviously YT has...

    One word: wow. My sitting distance is 9' from the TV and it's amazing what the jump from 65" to 77" yielded. Yes I knew (thanks to Pythagoras) that it yielded 40% more screen area, but even knowing that, I don't think I was mentally prepared for the screen size gain. I assume there's some...

    I was weak...early Black Friday deal got me... Friend is coming over after work to help me set it up. Kudos to the Best Buy delivery people for taking good care during transit and for choosing a box that is in great condition. I have received quite a few packages during the pandemic from all...

    Another inexpensive improvement one may wish to employ: the C2/G2 line apparently still employs a 10/100 ethernet plug. Yes you can get faster with wi-fi but depending on where you live, how many devices use wi-fi, etc. it can be an unstable/unreliable connection. I bought a $12 Cable Matters...

    I get your concern and every one of us has to make their own decision as to the risk we want to take with regards to service menu. I will say this. Most have said that if you ever do have to have warranty work done, it's rare that the service person would even think to check "hey lets see if...

    Another super helpful video by Vincent Teoh (he also talks about GSR in addition to TPC, and highlights some differences between OLED and QD-OLED).

    If yours doesn't do it, consider yourself fortunate! Here's actually a great video showing the auto-dimming feature, and you can see it can even be triggered by relatively light scenes if the TV thinks it's encountering a static picture due to one bright object on the screen. Note it's...

    Good luck on your upgrade! I'm trying to wait at least one year until my next one, but I just saw last year's 77" C1 for such a low clearance price I almost pulled the trigger.

    Oh lol then they're taking things away haha. I just assumed since we were in the C2 thread that you had one. I have the C1.

    No prob, glad to have helped! Since you have the current generation and I have the previous one, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that they added something to bump up the OLED to the 13th option. I think I watched an old video about it when I was getting ready to do mine, and it had OLED at...

    A few warnings on the service menu, which as a long time home theater aficionado you probably don't need, but I'll put them here just in case: The service menu literally has hundreds of options, most of which we don't know what they do. Be careful only to change the TPC option and nothing else...

    That's exactly why I bought the service remote, Robert, so it's a very fast enable/disable. I plan to leave it on unless I know I'm watching movies with extended dark scenes, like CTHD, The Batman, Arrival. I really do wish LG would smarten up their auto-dimming algorithm. I mean if a movie is...

    @Todd Erwin I can confirm I watched the entire first fight between Yu Shu Lien and Yu Jen and did not see the dimming feature kick in. First time watching it before I disabled TPC I thought I was slowly losing my eyesight as it slowly grew dim in the second half of the chase-then-fight scene...

    Admittedly, I got the remote and tested to make sure I could turn it on/off (I leave it On because I have a tendency to fall asleep sometimes and would like to save my OLED from burn-in) and haven't watched a movie yet that I thought I'd have to turn TPC off for. I had already seen The Batman so...

    You both speak wisdom. I'm just so damned lazy. When it works right it's so cool. Chicks dig it when you just press one button and this cacophony of equipment powers on! Okay, just kidding. I dig it.

    Lol CEC is such a blessing and a curse. I wish the manufacturers would get on the same page and implement it properly. I don't have problems with stuff accidentally shutting off, but I do occasionally have problems with stuff turning on. Most irritating example is my Panny UHD player. When I...

    Sam is there a reason the Series X dashboard is saying that TV doesn't support a bunch of the features? The C1 ticks off all those boxes. Do you have it running through an AVR that isn't passing through those signals? Nevermind, just saw your comment about HDMI 2.1 receiver.

    Looking forward to your review once the G2 is up and running. I'm greatly enjoying my C1, and now that I have the service remote, I can disable TPC to keep it from dimming during lengthy dark scenes in movies (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 4K made me wonder if I was losing my eyesight before I...

    Not directly related to C2 but...thank god for the internet and A/V communities like ours. I just ordered the Service Remote from Amazon and will be disabling TPC on my C1.

    After gifting myself a 65" C1 for Christmas, it's going to be hard to ever step back down from OLED. I'm probably 18 months away from considering perhaps a 77" upgrade (I'm on the hook for a major life purchase whose monthly payments finishes up in that time) so I'll definitely be looking at the...
