LG OLED C1 48-83″ OLED (2021)

LG's 2021 C1 puts HDMI 2.1 on all four inputs, so 4K@120Hz, VRR and ALLM work whichever port the console lands on, and PC gamers get G-SYNC Compatible and FreeSync Premium on top. The inputs run at 40Gbps rather than HDMI 2.1's full 48Gbps, which is still enough for 4K@120Hz at 10-bit 4:4:4. eARC sits on HDMI 2, so keep that one for the soundbar or receiver. On the 48–77" sizes three of the four HDMI ports face sideways; the 83" puts all four on the back. Use Ultra High Speed HDMI cables for 120Hz. Here's every port and the cables you'll need.

2021 LG OLED C1 with α9 AI Processor Gen4, 4K@120Hz gaming, Dolby Vision IQ, webOS 6.0.
