We must bear in mind that we are talking about a television model belonging to the Premium range, which already tells us the qualities of the model, not only in its materials but in its design and, of course, in the features that makes the viewer enjoy a unique image quality. All this has made it one of the best rated models of 2021 and an exceptional option to live the home theater experience. Its features make it a good choice for watching series, movies, programs, sports and even video games, offering great versatility. Let's move on to analyze, point by point, why the LGOLEDC14L has become one of the best-selling TVs of 2021.
Premium design marks an avant-garde style
As for its design we can say that it follows the general line of LG's Premium range with an ultra-thin OLED panel, very reduced frames and a very thin and elegant central stand, an exemplary and very well resolved design wherever you look at it. Its size of 55" inches makes it an ideal choice, as it is neither bulky for its size nor small for movie content, being the most recommended size for most viewers.
OLED panel with great 4k sharpness
Its OLED panel is one of the best on the market, since its 4k sharpness offers a depth of blacks unattainable by the competition, thanks to its 10 bits of native color, excellent viewing angles with great image enhancements such as Dolby HDR10 Pro vision and other features such as algorithms, HDR cinema , Perfect Color, Perfect Black among others .
Another highlight of this Smart TV is that this model comes with the WebOS 6.0 operating system compatible with almost all streaming apps, such as Netflix, HBO, Disney+, Amazone Prime Video or Youtube. In addition it is also compatible with smart home assistants such as Amazone Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Homekit. This time LG has left no loose end, offering a Magic Control remote control with laser pointer with which you can navigate the interface as if it were a PC mouse, making its navigability intuitive, easy and fun.
In terms of connectivity, the TV has not been left behind, as it has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports , making it stand out from the competition. It also has an a9 Gen 4 Al Processor 4k with the ability to rescale low resolution content and generating a 4k simulation of great clarity, which is exceptional when watching series, sports, programs and movies on Blu-Ray or DVD.
Heiress to one of LG's best TVs
The predecessor to the LGOLEDC14LB is one of the best models of the year 2021, the OLED55CX, which was considered one of the best TVs on the market. It has repeated the same formula that catapulted it to success in sales, but improving connectivity and new compatibilities. For all these features, it is becoming one of the best value for money options on the market. <br/>
A great choice for Gamers
This is one of the best TVs in our opinion to play video games, both 2013 generation as XBOX, PS4 or Nintendo Switch, as in last generation models such as the PS5 and XBOX X Series. As we said before it has a very high quality panel and optimal dimensions for gaming.
Thanks to having a 4k rescaling, which improves image through algorithms and artificial intelligence, as well as HDR10 Pro that improves brightness and contrast. It also has of course Game Mode, which improves the user experience and AMD Freesync that offers a great fluidity of gameplay and natural movements. For last generation consoles such as PS, this model has 120Hz, HDMI 2.1 with VRR, HFR, ALLM and NVIDIA G-SYNC to reach 120fps 4k with ease and maximum quality.
The best alternatives to this TV for gaming use are its predecessors the LGOLED55CX5 and the Samsung55Q80A. This Samsung is not a high-end TV but it is an exceptional value for money, making it a great choice for video games thanks to its improvements and its market price.
Alternatives to the 55" LGOLED55C14LB TV
There are three models on the market that can be taken into account when buying this great 55" inch TV, not for having a superior quality, far from it, but for being of premium quality and offering a great price in case you find them on sale or promotion. The first one to consider is the LGOLED55CX5 which became the best TV in quality price of 2020 and a good alternative, or as we said before its predecessor. Pure blacks, sharpness and great fluidity are some of its best features.
Another model to consider is the SamsungQ80A, which is not OLED but has an exceptional VA Direct LED Full Array Local Dimming panel with 120 native Hz . It also has improvements such as Motion Xcelerator turbo and HDR10+. This TV model is a really attractive option for its brightness and colors growing from the quality of pure blacks.
