LG OLED CX (2020) Series

Excellent picture quality ; Great design ; Plenty of smarts, features and customisation ; Excellent upscaling

Still missing a few UK catch-up apps ; Just a small leap over the C9

The overall performance isn’t a huge leap over the C9, but that said, the CX is an excellent all-round package. Picture quality is outstanding, webOS is full of content, and the level of customisation and various AI-enhancements make this a sure-fire...

Superb picture quality ; Solid HDR performance ; Attractive design ; Four HDMI 2.1 inputs ; Next-gen gaming compatible

Limited potential for burn-in

Gorgeous picture quality ; Breath-taking design ; Affordable by OLED standards

Really struggles with bass ; No HDR10+ support ; Still some potential for image retention

The LG CX’s combination of beautiful pictures and a lower price make it LG’s most all-round irresistible OLED TV yet, although its problems handling the bass parts of big movie soundtracks may force you to add a soundbar.

Impressive picture performance ; Full set of HDMI 2.1 features ; Good operating system

Can be beaten for sharpness ; Still missing some apps

The CX isn’t as domineering as its C9 predecessor, but it’s still a superb all-rounder and the best 2020 TV to buy if you’re into gaming

Picture is exciting but natural ; Improved motion and dark detail ; More future-proofed than most

Missing UK catch-up apps

The core model in LG’s 2020 OLED TV range is an astonishingly capable all-round performer

Flagship-level OLED performance ; Dramatic but natural picture ; Forward-looking feature set

Missing UK catch-up apps ; Pricey for its size

The first 4K OLED smaller than 50 inches is also the very best TV smaller than 50 inches that we’ve ever tested

Appealing screen size ; Impressive black levels ; Balanced colours

Won't be cheap ; No HDR10+

Pristine picture ; Multiple screen settings ; Great sound ; Freesync Premium/G-Sync compatible

Filmmaker Mode is terrible ; Bulky controller ; High price tag

LG’s CX48 OLED delivers the best picture we’ve ever seen. Although it has a big price tag, its future proof gaming tech and cinematic value make it a great investment for years to come.
