⭐ WORTH IT? LG C3 OLED Evo Review - COMPARED to LG C2, Samsung QD OLED & Sony A84L

So the c3 brightness is lower than bigger models?!

Cool

Well, right now the C2 is more expensive so...

One issue with your Opening Conclustion... The C2 costs more than the C3 does atm and Cost is one Primary considerations for me at this time.

why not compare c1 and CX

Could you tell if it's possible to adjust the white balance with multipoint (10 point or 22 point) precision in the Game Optimizer image mode and with input set to PC / Chroma 4:4:4 Passthrough option enabled, by any chance? I know that Game Optimizer mode allows for a 2 point adjustment, but that feels inadequate to me taking into account the extent of inaccuracies in that mode, especially with it's EOTF tracking.

Or is it possible to do a hardware calibration for that image mode via CalMan' calibration suite for LG? Does that bypass the image processing limitations imposed by that mode?

I'd be EXTREMELY grateful if you could clear that up for me!

Anyway, thank for the review.

Thank you for posting this helpful video

I just ordered the LG C3! Upgrading from an old Vizio 2018 model

Everyone seems to agree that the C3 is not enough of an upgrade over the C2 to warrant the price. BUT for some reason, the C3 is currently CHEAPER than the C2 at Amazon and Walmart...so in that case, is it a no-brainer to choose the C3 over the C2?

so im in the market to get a new tv i searched i bit but im not pro....i went to the shop and said i want the C2 cause it was at 1.599 and the employ said what dont u take the B3 its newer techcnology at 1.679 80euros higher .....then i was just confused and made this comment ( my budget is 1500-1700) so what is ur opinion can u enlighten me som1?

Looking to upgrade my 10 year old Sony soon for my first OLED. Thinking 55 inch again maybe the G2. The G3 price is a bit steep, or do I try C3. Never seen a 3 up close yet but looked at a c2/g2 in the same shop and definitely preferred the g2. Or do I wait until Xmas or January to see if the drop price again?

Nice not to see another "infomercial" I'm also very pleased with my Marantz 1509,.which you highly recommended, works wonderfully with my new lg tv. Thx !

C3🖥

Brilliant again Phil. I'm pretty sure if a meteorite was heading to Earth and you came on and told us everything would be fine, I'd believe you. Used your settings for my C1, which I thanked you for. Upgrading dining room TV. Was thinking of C3. Probably going for C2 after this now.
Thanks again.

webOS and the magic remote suck in comparison with google tv, android tv and Sony premium remotes. That being said it is not a deal breaker for the extra cost you have to face in order to get an equivalent Sony TV. However, a TV is something that hopefully you are not going to replace in 5 years time, so if you are going to use it a lot for gaming and/or watching movies and TV on a daily basis and you like the SONY save some money a get a Sony TV if you can.

I am still thinking about it as I am planning to get either the LG C3 55 or the Sony A90K 48 on Black Friday. I can't wait to be honest, I am done with my old 2019 PHILIPS led TV.

Great review.

What about DTS support? I cannot see it mentioned on spec list for UK models

does it worth for $1100 (1175 after tax) which I see at bestbuy?

Hello AVForums, I bought LG C3 evo 42 inches but 2 small side stands for table top which come inside the box are missing, when I told LG about this they are saying either you will get wall mounted kit or small side stands which should have already been given inside the TV box. What should I do any ideas?

I have a C1. I'm going to upgrade to C3 this week mainly for the evo panel and processing. I opted for the 42" for desk gaming purposes.

Do you have a video on how to turn ads off deep in the settings? Thank you I subbed

Thank you!!

Just upgraded my 65CX to a 77C3. Much more upgrades besides the picture quality. Well impressed 👍

ATTENTION! Nothing wrong with buying an older model, but if you are interested in buying the C2 keep in mind that this version still has the well known problem of the faulty auto dimming (TPC)! This means that under certain circumstances (dark scenes with not much movement going on like in game of thrones) the TV dims the display until you can barely see anything at all. If you research this problem on the internet you'll see that quite a few people are annoyed by this. You can switch the feature off in the service menu, but be aware that you might invalidate your warranty by doing so. The C3 originally also had this problem but it was fixed by an official update. In my opinion the faulty auto dimming is still a major difference between the two models, because as of now it is very much unclear, whether the C2 will also receive the update fixing this problem.

Thank you, you made my mind up. My C2 arrives on Monday. Great review.

Should i get c3 or S95C????

It's a shame lg killed 3d. I still have my 2016 3d oled and won't get rid of it. New avengers look better on that TV than the new oled. It adds 100$ to the cost of a 3000$ TV. I would gladly spend a extra 100 for 3d

i have 48" C1... 42" seems much better for my needs (TV as PC monitor)... I'm really curious if 42"C3 will be noticeable upgrade from my current 48"C1.

any video of a better calibration for tv c2?

My question is to go for a 65 C3. or 65 G2. Cant stretch to a G3

ordered the c2 48 lg.
Half the price vs new c3

This is hands down one of the best objective reviews I have ever seen thank you for this cheers

So get the G3 or the C2

C3 should have been MLA to make it worth it

your the man 👍👍

This C3 is clearly using an MLA panel. The viewing angle improvement shows this, impossible without SEMLA, because the color shift in C2 and earlier was caused by the additional height of the stacks of OLED emitters causing light to scatter unevenly at angle.

Hey LG team if you read this , my Sennheiser headset keeps auto-connecting to my LG TV. I want to use it with my phone instead. Any solution? Thanks!

I just got c3 . paid 4.5k . It needs little bit more nit for day time. I think g3 has it .

Differences are pretty incremental at this point, especially as we aren’t really due any major upgrades anytime soon, 4k and 2.1hdmi are here to stay for some time.

I Been looking for days for a video like this, loved it i subed and liked

Thanks for answering my main question right in the intro. I appreciate that a lot.

Hoping to see the 48 inch C3. Curious to see if the bezels are different than the c2 and c1.

Which 42 inch TV has dual HDMI multiview/splitview functionality

thanks. I will get the c3 if the c1 solves these 2 issues:
-Audio keeps changing back to game optimizer every time I restart my pc or enter/exit hdr.
-Screen goes black and takes a long time to change inputs between pc and ps5. Sometimes ps5 input looses warm50 setting until I go in there and chaneg 50-49 and it pops in.
amazing tv all in all. I cant see how c3 is any better!

IMO the EVO panels are inferior. I own a c2 and c1. I regret buying the c2.

I have a C1. Is the step to C3 wroth it ? I struggle with the C1 not havIng DTS. Help me please

Nice review. Everyone wants to praise the QD but still not sold on reliability and burn in appears to be an issue where it’s essentially not on the LGs. On the hunt for low cost C2 77”.

The C3 blows the C2 out of the water. Already ordered a C3, can’t wait to get rid of my C2! C3 has 4K, HDR, 120hz, tone mapping, Dolby Vision & Atmos.
