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

Read the full in-depth review - https://www.avforums.com/reviews/lg-c...

Once again the C series model in the LG OLED line-up offers excellent all-round performance with a good mix of features, picture quality and gaming credentials. The C3 continues what has gone before and the upgrade from the 2022 C2 model is not huge, but then why fix something that wasn’t really broken? There is slightly more brightness on offer thanks to the Alpha 9 AI Processor 4K Gen6 chip and the latest OLED panel, which when combined together are classed as OLED Evo, plus, like last year, the video processing is now some of the best on the market for upscaling, detail, smooth gradation and motion. But, if you don’t need the slight increase in brightness, the slightly better processing or the newly designed WebOS and quick menu, you could pick up the 2022 65-inch C2 which is almost identical performance-wise for close to £1200 less (in May 2023). We have no doubt that the C3 pricing will also follow the same course over a year that the C2 has, so the choice, as they say, is yours.
