According to our television expert
With the LG OLED42C24LA, you can watch realistic images with a strong contrast, high brightness, and realistic color details. Since every pixel on the OLED screen lights up or dims individually, every part of the image can be accurately controlled. As a result, a dark shadow is deep black and a bright light is very clear. The smart a9 Gen 5 processor ensures that the brightness of the screen automatically adjusts to the ambient light, so the screen is always properly visible. In addition, the processor analyses the image very fast and improves the color representation, sharpness, and movements. That way, you know for sure you're watching the best possible image quality. The webOS menu offers a wide range of streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Prime Video. With these apps, you can stream your favorite movie or series in no time.
Are you using a new game console, such as the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X? The LG OLED42C24LA offers all sorts of functions that make gaming more smooth and intuitive. For example, you can game with images in 4K and 100Hz thanks to the HDMI 2.1 inputs. As a result, your games look detailed and smooth. In addition, the TV supports Variable Refresh Rate. That means you'll no longer be bothered by jerky images.

Design
I tested this TV for a few weeks because I was mainly curious whether it would be worth switching to a 120 Hz TV, in combination with my Playstation 5. In addition, I paid attention to measuring the actual energy consumption during 2 weeks in which I chose to leave the TV on on several days from 7 am to 10 pm, despite the energy label G I am positively surprised about the energy consumption on the many hours that the TV has been on. I measured this consumption with an intermediate meter, more about that later.
Appearance A nice, sleek TV with a thin bezel. The foot looks a bit colossal to me, but I think that's what you're used to. This TV actually deserves to be hung, given the minimum thickness.
Installation Easy. You screw on the foot and the TV is standing.
When starting up, it is a matter of switching to a completely different kind of (easier) operation. The remote does weigh a bit, which I think is an advantage. This is sleek in piano black and has the disadvantage that it is easily damaged.
The remote control is intuitive to use. It shows itself. In addition, you can use it as a mouse, which is very sensitive in terms of movement, but you will be used to it in no time.
The (smart) menu is clear and can also be operated with your voice. This still needs improvement, the TV does not understand every command and especially during gaming, the TV comes by itself with the announcement that it cannot find something. That is annoying and would not use that for the time being if you also start gaming on this TV.
The remote control immediately recognizes the Telfort TV receiver, so you don't have to program the LG remote control, great!
Image In short: this is just really beautiful! Black is also really black and I see details that I can't see with my 3 year old ultra HD TV in 55 inches, which surprised me because I was under the impression that this could never make much difference.
Game experience As mentioned, I play on a PS5 that has no trouble at all on this TV to play the game at 120hz. And that is really an eye opener. Gaming on 120hz is really much better, my aim and game have become better with it and in my view that is really thanks to the technology in this TV.
The television has an HDMI 2.1 connection, so you can get the most out of your Playstation 5.
Movie and series As mentioned, the image is very sharp and gives details that my 3 year old ultra hd 4k TV does not show. The OS control system is very easy to use and with the "mouse pointer" of the remote control you quickly get where you want to be.
Sound In the menu you can choose various settings and it is fine if you, like me, do not want or want an extra installation or soundbar.
While gaming, I can hear just fine from which side the shots are coming without headphones. I think that's a big advantage, because you don't always have to wear headphones when you play solo, for example.
Energy consumption Measured with a Nedis smart plug with energy meter that is only connected to the TV.
On average, on a day when the TV has been on for about 15 hours, this TV consumes an average of 1.46 kWh in which games are played at 120hz and TV / film is watched.

On my simple Samsung UE32C6000 I could play everything from multiple external devices, and everything looked just as good without any hassle. Now you have to find your Sweetspot per connected device, and even per SDR/HDR/Dolby Vision...and that takes effort....

We were able to test this beautiful 55 inch TV for a few weeks via @Review.nl.testpanel It will take some getting used to when our old(er) TV is back in its place.
The TV was neatly delivered and installed, so that was super handy. We immediately saw that it was a mighty beautiful device when we turned on the TV.
Many beautiful colors and real black on a beautiful 55 inch screen It is a beautiful and thin TV that has a good picture from all angles. But don't forget to remove the protective film. Fortunately, we knew that LG has a very thin and almost invisible foil on it. The large foot placed in the middle of this TV certainly looks sturdier than the plastic feet of our own LG TV.
The Magic Remote took some getting used to, but we quickly mastered it. All shortcuts from eg. Netflix, Disney+ and PrimeVideo at the bottom of the remote are really super handy. We can be brief about the smart part of the TV: all apps start very quickly. Well, that can't be otherwise with a TV that has not been on the market for that long and still has enough storage space.
What are the dots? That's a good question: maybe the sound.
Sometimes we got the feeling that it went louder or softer on its own, without anyone touching the remote.
Unfortunately, we were not able to test everything, but what we were able to test we have generally experienced as positive. But that is also possible in this price range.
