It’s no secret for many that LG’s C1 series and Philips’ OLED806 series are among the best in terms of price to quality.\u00a0On this basis, very often disagreements and doubts arise when choosing\u00a0Philips 806<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0LG C1<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0In this regard, we will try to compare these two TVs.<\/p>\n

The emphasis will be placed not on image quality, but on those additional technologies possessed by this or that series.\u00a0It should be noted right away that there is no clear winner among these series.\u00a0However, there are not so few differences between them.\u00a0The choice depends on what you are going to use your TV for besides watching TV programs, and what additional devices you are going to connect to the TV.<\/p>\n

LG C1 and Philips 806 – differences<\/h2>\n

Image quality<\/h3>\n

Both TVs have the same panel from LG Display.\u00a0We will not compare P5 AI Perfect Picture Engine and Alpha 9 Gen 4 processors.\u00a0Both TVs have a peak brightness of around 800 nits.\u00a0Those who have put the Philips 806 and LG C1 side by side and fed the same content to them claim that the Philips 806 has a slightly better factory settings.<\/p>\n

This affects parameters such as color, scaling, brightness, banding and motion handling.\u00a0However, after calibrating both TVs, the picture will be very similar.\u00a0Moreover, Philips is even slightly inferior to LG.\u00a0In the future, we will agree that the image quality of these TVs is the same.<\/p>\n

Unlike LG C1, Philips OLED806 has an additional HDR10 + standard.\u00a0Most likely, this advantage will continue in the coming years.\u00a0Also, Philips 806 has another indisputable advantage.\u00a0It is 4-sided Ambilight.\u00a0Those who can no longer imagine watching TV without such a backlight will certainly choose Philips.<\/p>\n

Smart TV<\/h3>\n

LG C1 and Philips 806 have different operating\u00a0systems: webOS 6.0\u00a0and\u00a0Android TV 10\u00a0.\u00a0Over the past few years, disputes have often arisen between users about which of these OS is better.\u00a0webOS OS is faster.\u00a0You can operate this system intuitively.<\/p>\n

LG also has a “magic” remote control, which is a huge plus.\u00a0Using the web browser on your LG TV is much more convenient.\u00a0Recently, however, webOS has started to run ads more often.\u00a0Android settings are a little more difficult to change.\u00a0Some applications are quite slow.\u00a0However, Android supports more apps.\u00a0Overall, there is no clear winner in this section.<\/p>\n

Game Mode<\/h3>\n

LG TVs have been some of the best, if not the best, gaming TVs in the past few years.\u00a0The 806 Phillips also has 2.1 ports, which is great.\u00a0However, the LG C1 has a lower input lag than the Philips 806. In addition, the C1 has a Game Optimizer panel that comes in handy.<\/p>\n

Sound quality<\/h3>\n

Philips OLED 806 and LG C1 have very similar sound quality despite different technologies.\u00a0LG’s AI Sound aims to provide 5.1.2 virtual upmixing, while Philips takes a more stereo approach.\u00a0In our opinion, Philips has slightly better bass.\u00a0Philips has\u00a0a 2.1\u00a0CH\u00a0sound\u00a0scheme\u00a0.\u00a0LG has a 2.2 CH configuration.<\/p>\n

However, LG has a power output of 40W, with 20W being driven by the 2 woofers.\u00a0The Philips 806 has a total power of 50 W, where 30 W is accounted for by 1 woofer.\u00a0If we continue to compare these two TVs without connecting a media player and an external sound system, then the built-in 806 Philips player supports the\u00a0DTS\u00a0audio format\u00a0.<\/p>\n

From uncompressed audio, LG C1 has PCM format, which is much less used in video files.\u00a0It should be borne in mind that you will only listen to DTS on three channels, and not on 5.1 or more.\u00a0But the biggest problem with both built-in players is that they both don’t recognize\u00a0BDMV\u00a0as a Blu-ray movie folder.<\/p>\n

This means that\u00a0you will not be able to\u00a0watch videos in\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0format through the internal player\u00a0.\u00a0At its best, it can be viewed in HDR10.\u00a0Moreover, most users with such TVs are looking for the opportunity to listen to audio in the\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0format\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Both TVs have this support, but the built-in audio system of these TVs will not be able to reproduce this sound with the proper quality.\u00a0Therefore, in order to take advantage of all the possibilities that are embedded in these TVs, you will have to acquire not only a soundbar or home theater, but also a good media player.<\/p>\n

So which is better: LG C1 vs Philips 806<\/h2>\n

As you can see, in general, both TVs have an excellent image and a rich set of features.\u00a0The choice of the user depends mainly on the difference in price and the area of \u200b\u200buse of the consumer himself.\u00a0By purchasing LG, the user will get the best gaming performance and excellent movie quality.\u00a0If you’re an Ambilight fan and don’t want the best gaming TV, then Philips is your choice.<\/p>\n

Philips’ own soundbar is slightly better, and Ambilight is a pretty tasty cherry on the cake.\u00a0But there is one more important point.\u00a0Philips is much less likely to update firmware in its devices than LG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
