The OLED65C2PUA is a 65 inch 4K TV from LG. It was launched in 2022. It features a True 10-bit OLED evo panel.
It can display a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and pixel density of 68 ppi.
Picture Quality
After screen size and resolution, the next most important feature of a display is its Color Reproduction (defined by its color gamut specification).
This TV doesn't provide a color gamut specification, but don't worry, we have other means to guess that. Now, since the TV comes with an OLED panel, so we can conclude that the equivalent sRGB coverage of this panel would be far above 100%.
Understanding the Color Gamut Specification
Color gamut specification of a TV is the measurement of the range of colors that the display can produce.
A panel with poor color accuracy will produce undersaturated colors that will not be pretty to look at.
Different manufacturers use different measurement standards to specify color gamut. Such as — sRGB, NTSC 1953, DCI P3 etc.
But don't worry, here is a chart that you can use to choose a TV with good color accuracy.
Now, after color gamut, you should look at the static contrast specification as it influences the picture quality the same way.
Understanding the static contrast specification
A TV with low static contrast ratio will not produce deep enough blacks and may bleed backlight as shown below:
The image is an example of another display, it is not this oneThe static contrast ratio of above TV is 800:1. So make sure you get a TV with a static contrast of >= 1000:1. More the better.
Like resolution, the static contrast ratio is also equally responsible for details. To put it into perspective, a TV with low contrast ratio will produce less shades of colors, so lesser detail overall.
If given a choice, I will prefer a FHD TV with high contrast ratio over a 4K TV with low contrast ratio.
This TV comes with a static contrast ratio of Infinity:1.. So no need to worry about this at all.
HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), Dolby Vision, Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10 Pro are also supported on this TV.
As for brightness, the peak luminance the TV can produce is 250 nits.
Gaming Performance
If you are not interested in gaming, you can ignore these specifications. But if you are also planning to use the TV for gaming or use it as a PC monitor, you would want to get a TV with the lowest input lag and response time.
The input lag on this TV is 5 ms and its minimum response time is 1 ms. Gamers gonna love this TV.
What is Input lag ?
This lag is the amount of time at which your key-presses/mouse movements changes the content of your display. For casual Non-FPS games, input lag doesn't matter much.
But ideally, look for a TV that features an input lag and response time of < 20ms.
Ergonomics and Dimensions
Coming to ergonomics — If you plan to wall mount the TV, you can make use of the VESA mount provided with this TV, which by the way has an interface size of 300 x 200 mm. There is no Swivel, Tilt or Pivot feature support in this TV.
The width of this TV is 56.73 inches while its height is 34.61 inches. Speaking of thickness, it is just 1.78 inches thick. It weighs 14.8 kilograms and 1.7 kgs extra if you include stand. So plan your space accordingly.
