LG C3 OLED

The LG C3 is an amazing TV, sure to please all but the most demanding buyers. The very good brightness in both SDR and HDR makes it well-suited to watching anything, from SDR content to the latest hit movies in HDR. It has superb reflection handling, and with its good peak brightness, the TV can handle bright rooms or glare without issue. But like almost every OLED on the market, it's better suited for a dark room, where its OLED panel, with its deep inky blacks, truly performs at its best. Its very low input lag makes it a gamer's dream, as your inputs are translated almost instantaneously to the screen, and its superb response time makes it a great choice for any fans of fast-moving content, be it sports or games, as action stays clear and crisp throughout. The TV also supports DTS, making it a fantastic choice for your home entertainment center.

The LG C3 is a superb OLED TV that delivers pictures that are as cinematic, detailed and refined as ever. However, with only small improvements from the now heavily discounted C2 and its competition getting stronger, there are more questions to ask of the C3 than before.

De LG C3 is een uitstekende OLED TV die beelden levert die even filmisch, gedetailleerd en verfijnd zijn als altijd. Echter, met slechts kleine verbeteringen ten opzichte van de nu sterk afgeprijsde C2 en zijn concurrentie die sterker wordt, zijn er meer vragen te stellen bij de C3 dan voorheen.

Allerdings gibt es nur kleine Verbesserungen gegenüber dem jetzt stark reduzierten C2 und die Konkurrenz wird immer stärker, so dass der C3 mehr Fragen als zuvor aufwirft.

One of our favorite smart TVs is now even cheaper than it was on Black Friday and that's a feat in itself. So, if you want a new TV ahead of the holidays, you should definitely look into getting this particular model.
