I've always turned off ambient sensors on all the TV's I've had over the years. But after reading this article and having an LG C2 OLED, I decided to give it a go - after all, perhaps the technology has improved. So I switched the LG's light sensor to Auto and sat back to enjoy the results. Sadly, my fears were confirmed - dull picture, lacking contrast and punch. A pitiful result. Switched the light sensor off. Ahhh, bliss.
