LG C2 Series Class OLED
Best Cinematic Experience
The LG C2 Series (found here on Amazon) wins the pick for Best Cinematic Experience in an Alexa Smart TV. Quite confidently, it’s one of the best TVs in its price range – period.
Its self-lit OLED display boasts an outstanding 8 million pixels, providing a picture quality that’s truly amazing. The added advantage of over a billion colors contributes to an exceptional viewing experience.
The C2 does feature Hands-Free Alexa, just as the Amazon Fire TV does. The one thing I will say is that it isn’t as fast at processing your voice.
If you have other Echo devices in the house, you will also want to change the wake word on the LG to something different, like “Echo” or “Computer” (instead of Alexa). Otherwise, while Amazon’s smart speakers will only direct the closest speaker to respond, the LG will tend to respond even when you’re not meaning it to.
Screen Sizes Available
The LG C2 Series OLED is available in 42″, 48″, 55″, 65″, 77″, and 83” screen sizes. Whether you need a new Alex-enabled Smart TV for your bedroom, or you’re creating a state-of-the-art home theater system, there’s an appropriate model for every room.
Resolution
This LG model provides a stunning 4k picture with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160. The a9 Gen 5 AI processor 4K is able to adapt and adjust in real time to the content you’re currently watching. This allows for significantly improved picture quality.
The end product delivers infinite contrast and deep black tones, resulting in vivid and lifelike images.
Refresh Rate
The C2 Series also has an impressive 120 Hz refresh rate that makes everything about the viewing experience much more immersive and smoother for your enjoyment. This is another specification that sets itself apart from the other Alexa TVs on our list.
120 Hz will significantly reduce any potential motion blur, creating a much clearer picture. It’s also a must for the serious gamer.
Connection Types
The LG C2 TVs have 4 HDMI ports (1 being eARC), 3 USB ports, an optical audio port, a headphone jack, and an Ethernet port. It does, of course, have a WiFi connection if you don’t want to use an Ethernet cable.
Along with Alexa, it also supports Google Assistant, Apple AirPlay, and HomeKit.
