LG 42C2 test: the best 42 -inch TV

The “small” television market has become very gloomy, abandoned by manufacturers who only see entry -level models. With the 42C2, LG responds to those looking for both a contained size TV, excellent image quality and high -end features.

Presentation

The LG 42C2 has the new OLED EVO 10 bits of 42 inch (≈107 cm) always displaying an ultra HD definition of 3840 x 2160 pixels. If it is well mentioned OLED EVO, LG ensures that this slab displays a fairly classic brightness peak which is not as powerful as that the OLED LG C2 of 55 inch and more.

For the rest, the smallest retains all the features of other LG C2: the new α9 (Alpha 9) Gen 5 AI processor, which is a slight evolution of α9 Gen 4 of 2021, a microphone integrated into the TV allowing ‘Use LG assistants, Amazon Alexa or Google without having to touch the remote control, the Magic Remote 2021 remote control inaugurated last year, the new version of Webos with profile management, and new Always Ready mode well thought out and practical.

The LG 42C2 TV is sold around 1400 € and is already at less than 1300 €. The 48 inch version (122 cm / LG 48C2) which has the same slab with a classic brightness is sold around 1500 €. To have a slightly brighter image, you have to turn to the 55 inch LG C2 and more from € 2,000 (at launch).

All the brightness and colorimetry measures mentioned in this article were carried out with a C6-HDR spectracal probe and the Calmanate software.

Image quality

The LG 42C2 uses a new oled slab different from the OLED EVO slab of the LG 65C2. This is particularly visible at the level of green and red subpixels whose shape is rectangular. The functioning of the slab remains identical: each pixel is made up of four sub-pixels (a green, a red, a blue and a white). The white and red subpixels are larger to improve the maximum brightness of the slab, while maintaining a color temperature close to the 6500 k. With a loss of brightness of only 20 % at 45 °, the viewing angles are always very good and there is no variation on black – which is absolute. In comparison, loss of brightness is 35 % to 40 % on the best LCD televisions (Samsung QE75Q950TS and Sony Bravia KD-65XH9505) and 70 % on entry and mid-range models. Only QD-Oled technology of the new Sony Bravia A95K offers better vision angles.

Filmmaker mode displays perfect colors. We have measured an average delta e at 1.4, far below the 3 threshold below which the human eye no longer perceives colorimetric drifts. No color exceeds a delta e of 3. With an average value of 2.4, the gamma is also perfect, which results in the image by gray levels perfectly reproduced. Same observation on the side of color temperature. The average of 6,610 k is very close to the reference value (6500 K) and the curve is perfectly stable on the whole spectrum. As always, the contrast provided by this OLED panel is considered to be infinite. Indeed, even with a white calibrated at 150 cd/m², the black is measured at 0 CD/m² (our probe cannot measure a black less than 0.0049 CD/m²). This contrast is still as impressive and allows you to enjoy all the nuances, even in the full darkness.

The α9 (alpha 9) gen 5 processor is supposed to be more efficient than the α9 Gen 4 last year. In fact, it is very complicated to make the difference between the two processors on our test scenes. The scaling engine is still as efficient and displays Full HD content on the ultra HD slab while respecting the original source without creating artifacts. The motion compensation engine is always excellent, with perfectly clear motion objects.

Hdr

The 42C2 is compatible with HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision. On the other hand, LG still ignores the HDR10+ promoted by Samsung and Panasonic.

As always on LG OLED televisions, the HDR rendering is excellent and only misses the fifth star because of a peak of brightness withdrawn from the best LCD televisions. The HDR Display Tone Mapping exploited by LG follows the reference curve in yellow up to 65 % of luminance, before smooth the signal to the maximum capacity of the slab; An appreciable behavior which makes it possible to distinguish the details even in the very bright areas of the image. Unsurprisingly, the peak of brightness is set back compared to that measured on the 65 -inch LG C2. If the latter displays a brightness peak of 804 cd/m², you must be satisfied with 701 cd/m² on this 42 -inch OLED TV. This remains sufficient to enjoy dynamic HDR content and this peak is almost equivalent to that of the LG 65C1 with its 740 CD/m². Like most of the OLED slabs on the market, this TV has almost all the colors of the DCI-P3 color space, mainly used by Ultra HD movies and TV series.
