[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just purchased it a few weeks ago. It's the BEST! I will never leave LG for the weaker competition!
I bought this TV to replace a ten year old Samsung that worked great until it finally broke. The LG is designed beautifully and super slender. The picture is great, but sometimes it looks too dark, even with contrast and LED turned to 100%. The built in menus are a bit confusing, just too many submenus and items just aren't where you'd expect them to be. The built in apps are okay, but they force a lot of apps on you that you can't delete, so the Home Screen is overwhelming. I just use my firestick. The TV could use a standard audio out port, you just never know when you need it. The audio is amazing on this tv. It's super loud when used with the AI function.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Picture, but, the remote is not up to par. The pointer moves too rapidly to be useful. When using an HDMI port, the TV will not return to that port when it is turned off and back on. Absolute frustration!
The LG C3 is a fantastic TV for PC gaming, but like all OLEDs, using it as a PC monitor has some caveats. It has a nearly-instantaneous response time and incredibly low input lag, so games, or your mouse cursor, are fluid and responsive, with almost no distracting motion blur behind fast-moving objects. Its viewing angle is amazing, so even if you sit in front of the TV, you won't notice any discoloration or dimming at the edges. It gets bright in SDR and has amazing reflection handling, so it'll look great even if your office setup is in a bright room or in front of some windows. Unfortunately, like many TVs, the C3 doesn't use a standard RGB subpixel layout, so text isn't very clear when used as a monitor, and its brightness in SDR is significantly reduced when the TV is set to PC mode, or with the 4:4:4 Passthrough option set to on. Finally, as with all OLEDs, there's a risk of permanent burn-in when exposed to static elements, like the UI elements of a computer desktop.
This is the best TV we've ever owned. We bought a smaller LG OLED as a second TV for watching multiple football games and liked it so much we replaced our larger one with this LG OLED. The only problem now is that both TV's respond to either remote control. If you turn on the second TV it also turns off the other TV. Are we the only people that have two TV's in the same room? If you adjust the volume on one it also changes the volume on the other, etc.
The TV has a good picture but the apps can not be installed!! Took a week to finally get YouTubeTV installed. Now other apps that are shown already on the tv will not install! Very frustrating!!

We read your feedback, and we apologize that the LG OLED evo C3 55-inch 4K Smart TV (OLED55C3PUA) did not meet your expectations and caused you inconvenience. We also understand how frustrating it can be when the apps on your TV don't install properly, especially after waiting for a week to get YouTube TV installed. It's disappointing when the convenience of having apps readily available on your TV becomes a challenge. We'd also like to know more about the application issues with your unit in order to see if there are any other available options for you. To do so, please send us a private message on Facebook or Twitter (X) using @LGUSSupport containing the product details of your unit. We're looking forward to assisting you.
I bought 77 inch and included soundbar. Everything works great so far. I haven't had time to do full review but I can say the blacks are black, colors look great and sports plays well on the TV. It's a win win. Only knock is no ESPN app on the smart TV.
