[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this LG C3 TV to replace our 20 year old projection TV. Not surprisingly, the improvement in picture quality is fantastic. My wife and I are noticing many new details in movies we watched before on our old TV. As expected, colors are vivid, blacks are very black, and lots of details are revealed in shadows that we never saw with our old TV. This TV is easy to unbox and set up. After connecting it to our home audio system, the experience is every bit as good as being in a movie theater. The built in speakers provide plenty of volume, but bass tones are nonexistent unless you use a sound bar or AV audio system for sound.
Not everything is great about this TV. The owners manual, which you can online obtain online is the worst I have ever seen. Not only does it not show you the way to connect peripherals like a sound system, cable box, or sound bar to this set but you largely have to figure out on your own how to adjust the many features on this TV. I’m still unable to figure out how to use Bluetooth to show photos from my iPad on the TVscreen.
The remote control is not a universal remote and controls only the TV. At this price point LG should have provided a learning, universal remote. The “magic” pointer is incredibly annoying and offers no real advantage to using the wheel on the remote for navigation.
Another annoyance is the TV will not remember its last configuration. So, for example, if you watch cable TV and turn the set off, when you turn the set back on, it takes you back to the Home Screen where you have to make multiple clicks to get back to cable TV.
The TV has an OLED panel care option to do pixel cleaning to prevent burn in. You can configure it to do pixel cleaning when the set gets turned off, but you have to reselect it in the general settings menu every single time. There is no way to configure the TV to routinely do pixel cleaning.
Overall, this is a very nice TV with beautiful picture quality. It falls very short of being a great TV, though, due to its many shortcomings, some of which are mentioned above. Many of these, I would think, could be fixed with a software update and a much more detailed owner’s manual, and I sincerely hope LG will do this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new LG C3 television. After three weeks since the purchase, I’m still tinkering with the different options that make everything I watch from Dolby, HDR, and standard definition the best possible. I especially love it because I have paired it with a new LG Q75S sound bar which gives us the full range of cinematic experience at home.
I bought it during prime days for a $100 more than the c2 and received it last week. Setup was pretty easy coming from lg cx. The picture is amazing while barely calibrated. Really happy with the purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the TV about a month or so ago and it is a fantastic TV. The picture is bright and sharp with excellent sound. It was very easy to install and set-up with user friendly on screen selections and options. We love the border-less feature and how the picture extends to the edge of the TV frame. Its lightweight too. Highly recomenneded.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this TV a month ago to replace a TV whose display was dimming. This TV is wonderful; the image is extremely bright and clear. Very pleased with this purchase.
Never thought I would want or need a 65” TV, but poor eyesight and old age changed my thinking. The LG OLED has been a great purchase and nice to have up to date technology. Thanks LG
