The LG C2 65-inch OLED lands in the 98th percentile for user sentiment with a 4.5/5 rating from over 3,200 owners. Gaming performance is elite at the 96th percentile with 120Hz, 1ms, G-SYNC, and FreeSync Premium. Picture quality percentiles look weak against newer models, but real owners consistently call the picture phenomenal.

Gaming is where this TV flexes hardest, landing in the 96th percentile. You get 120Hz, 1ms response time, G-SYNC, FreeSync Premium, VRR, ALLM, and four HDMI 2.1 ports. That's the full checklist for PS5 and Xbox Series X owners. Multiple buyers specifically call out how well it pairs with current-gen consoles, and the screen burn prevention features get a nod too, which matters if you're the type who leaves a HUD on screen for six hours.

The a9 Gen5 AI Processor 4K handles upscaling duties, and while we don't have raw processing benchmarks, the 92nd percentile display ranking suggests this panel is doing serious work. The 4.2 channel speaker setup with Dolby Atmos lands in the 84th percentile for audio, which is solid for built-in TV sound, though anyone buying a 65-inch OLED should probably budget for a soundbar eventually.

Against the Sony BRAVIA XR XR77A95L, the C2 gives up size and brightness, but the Sony costs dramatically more and the C2's gaming feature set is just as complete. The Samsung Neo QLED QN75QN990FFXZA will get brighter and has no burn-in risk, but you lose the perfect blacks and per-pixel control that OLED brings. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 are the value challengers here, they'll beat the C2 on peak brightness and HDR punch, but the C2's 98th percentile user sentiment suggests owners are getting something those spec-sheet warriors don't always deliver: consistency and polish. The Roku Plus Series is not even in the same conversation for gaming.

We're looking at USD 1,239 to 1,287 across two US listings, which for a 65-inch OLED with this feature set is aggressive. The C2 launched at a much higher price, so this is the classic 'last year's flagship at a discount' play. You're giving up some peak brightness compared to newer OLEDs, but you're keeping the infinite contrast, the 120Hz panel, and all the gaming features. If you can find it at the low end of that range, it's a lot of TV for the money.

The LG C2 65-inch OLED sits in the 98th percentile for user sentiment in our database, and honestly, that tracks. Owners are not just happy with this TV, they're evangelical about it. A 4.5/5 rating across 3,274 reviews is the kind of number that makes other TV makers nervous. The picture quality gets the most love, with buyers praising how it handles both dim and bright rooms without breaking a sweat.

But here's the thing that jumps out at us: the picture quality percentile is only 36th. That sounds alarming until you realize what's happening. The C2 is a 2022 model being compared against newer, brighter OLEDs and QLEDs in our current database. The sentiment score tells the real story, real owners still think this thing looks phenomenal. Infinite contrast is infinite contrast, and the a9 Gen5 processor keeps everything crisp.

If you're chasing peak HDR brightness, look elsewhere. The HDR percentile sits at 36th, which means newer QLEDs and OLEDs will outshine this panel in high-nit content. The portable score of 44.7 out of 100 is a polite way of saying this 65-inch TV is not meant to be moved around. And if you're sensitive to voice assistants doing things you didn't ask for, the occasional unintended voice control activation might drive you up a wall. Anyone who wants the absolute brightest HDR highlights or needs something they can relocate easily should keep shopping.

The LG C2 is a case study in why user sentiment matters more than raw percentile rankings. Yes, the picture quality score looks mediocre on paper against newer panels. But 3,274 owners gave it 4.5 stars, and the gaming performance is still top-tier. At USD 1,239 to 1,287, you're getting a 65-inch OLED with infinite contrast, 120Hz, G-SYNC, FreeSync Premium, and Dolby Atmos that owners describe as the best TV they've ever owned. That's hard to argue with.
