LG 48CX 48-inch Ultra-HD HDR Smart OLED TV Review: Compact Size, Great Picture
Is this the best not-so-big television you can buy right now? By Ali Pardiwala | Updated: 13 April 2021 17:04 IST
The LG 48CX has Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10, and Dolby Atmos support
Highlights
The TV runs the webOS smart TV platform, and supports Apple AirPlay 2
Picture and sound quality are both impressive
Among the types of display panels commonly available for TVs, OLED sits at the top of the hierarchy, thanks to this technology s ability to reproduce excellent colours, contrast, and black levels. Naturally, this also means that OLED TVs are expensive, and so far they have only been commonly available in sizes of 55 inches or more. While a bigger screen definitely makes for a better viewing experience, 55 inches could often be too big for your viewing space, even if you have the budget for an OLED TV. LG s latest launch seeks to cater to that exact requirement.

The P-Series Quantum is fairly simple to get unpacked and set up, though you will want an extra hand to help with the process. The display includes two separate left and right feet that need to be attached if you re placing the unit on an entertainment console.
Though I prefer the look of pedestal stands, I ve come to appreciate the simplicity of feet stands since they re usually easier to work with and install.
Once assembled, the TV looks nice with a standard industrial design. The display s bezels and borders are unobtrusive but nothing fancy. At its thickest point, the TV s profile comes out to about 3 inches. The P-Series Quantum doesn t have the wow factor of thinner OLEDs or nearly bezel-free models from Samsung, but its design is solid for a model in this price range.

Haier has launched new 4K HDR TVs under its K-Series line-up. The TVs come in 43-inch, 50-inch, 58-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch screen sizes respectively.

While the LG CX OLED is significantly more expensive than many 4K LED TVs of the same size, the difference in picture quality is immediately noticeable due to the OLED panel s self-illuminating pixels. Because each pixel on an OLED display can be lit individually, black portions of the screen will remain pitch black during dark scenes, avoiding the cloudy grey halo effect that occurs on a back-lit LED TV. The infinite contrast ratio also helps enhance high dynamic range (HDR) formats like HDR10 and Dolby Vision, which have become the new standard for streaming shows and video games.
Along with being our top rated OLED TV, the LG CX has also built a reputation as an impressive gaming monitor. LG s CX boasts a native 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 ports, allowing PCs and next-gen consoles, like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, to run at a faster frame rate. This leads to smoother looking gameplay when compared to older T
