5.0 out of 5 stars The best all-around OLED TV for most people

b. · May 25, 2023

This is my first OLED TV and all I can say is WOW! If you’ve only had LCD TVs in the past, the OLED difference is very noticeable with the infinite contrast and 3D look that it gives to the image. My biggest concern with this TV was that it wouldn’t be bright enough but even during the day with 3 windows shining light into the room I’ve found it’s plenty bright enough, and a lot brighter than the budget LCD TV I had before (Vizio M658-G1). LG supports everything you could want in terms of gaming with 4 HDMI 2.1 ports for 4k/120Hz Dolby Vision gaming, VRR, ALLM, etc. I play Xbox Series X on it and it looks amazing! I also play Nintendo Switch and with a few tweaks like upping sharpness to 15 and turning Super Resolution to high it looks almost 4k! Everything I’ve watched on it looks better than ever before and I can’t say enough good things about it. After considering all my options I decided on this TV over the other options:- Compared to the LG G3: A lot cheaper but with the same processor for equal upscaling and clarity. The G3 is noticeably brighter but, like I said, I haven’t felt like the C3 wasn’t bright enough and it was brighter than I expected- Compared to the Samsung S95C: Again, much cheaper and the processor is better than that on the S95C so lower quality content will look cleaner, especially lower bitrate like YouTube TV. The S95C is much brighter and more colorful but Samsung has quality control issues, poor firmware updates, and no Dolby Vision HDR support- Compared to LG C2: The C3 is very similar to the C2 and it’s hard to justify the price increase of the C3. It was worth it to me since I got a good deal and only paid a few hundred dollars more. The C3 has an improved processor with improved dynamic tone mapping with 20,000 zones instead of 5,000 and is a little bit brighter. It also supports DTS passthrough and QMS unlike the C2. A common complaint about LG OLEDs is their aggressive dimming during prolonged high APL scenes. That issue was fixed on the 2023 models. Lastly, the C3 has a new customizable quick access menu that’s nice for changing settings in a snap- Compared to Samsung S90C: This is the C3’s biggest competition this year because they are close in price. The S90C has the better QD-OLED panel and is brighter and more colorful. I went with the C3 because of the Samsung issues I mentioned above with the S95C. I just trust LG more than Samsung as a company to support their products for years to come. Also, QD-OLED appears to have more risk of burn-in and I like to keep my TVs for a long time- Compared to Samsung S95B (2022 model): I wanted a 77” TV and the S95B only comes in 55” and 65”. Also, Samsung issues I mentioned beforeConclusion: The C3 is probably the best all around OLED TV for most people. Everything I’ve watched on this looks incredible and LG is a brand you can trust when it comes to OLED. They’ve been making them longer than anyone else and they’ve figured out how to prevent burn-in for the vast majority of users. If all you do is watch news or sports channels all day long then OLED probably isn’t for you but if you watch a variety of content from movies, TV shows, gaming, etc then I think this might be the best TV you can buy. Unless you can afford the LG G3, of course

5.0 out of 5 stars Best TV's I've ever owned

T.J. · September 24, 2024

Two TV's side by side review. Bought these TV's to finish out my man cave in the basement. Best money I've ever spent. Absolutely spectacular picture, very fast interface, MagicRemotes are awesome. Most importantly for me, LG remotes work for each TV independently.Very pleased with the purchase. See below for more detailed description.Side By Side:I did a lot of research and never got very far. I was looking to be able to control the TVs independently as I like to play video games while wife watches something or watching multiple sports at once. I just decided to pull the trigger and buy these based on the other qualities, and told myself that I would just have to purchase a smart remote. I got lucky! Deep in the settings, you can establish each TV as 1 or 2 etc.. (they warn you it's typically for admin use) when I did that, the remotes picked it up immediately and they point and control independently (except the on/off button). So I have controller 1 for TV 1 and controller 2 for TV 2.Picture:Incredible picture. Absolutely blown away. Especially when you have it hooked up to the PS5 or are streaming something 4k. It beats every other TV I've owned. Tip: go in and do the A.I. picture quality - it will tailor picture to your preferences. Pretty slickFunctionality:Very fast interface and easy going remotes. Overall very smooth and comfortable. I like the homepage and customizable apps. Marry apps to the numbered buttons by simply holding them, very simple. MagicRemotes are pretty cool. You can point and click or just use button pad. One of the best pieces of advice I got from an IT friend was that when you pay a lot for a TV, you are buying the computer, not just the picture. I've always found a good Friday deal and thought the size for price was the best way to go. I will never purchase TVs the same every again. Spend the money for the better quality product, it's 100% worth itSound:Sound quality is great. No complaints. Again, there are multiple settings where you can adjust to your preferences. It's a pretty smart TV and will use walls and other nearby surfaces to project sound better and recognize it internally
