Customer Reviews for LG - 42" Class C3 Series OLED evo 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2023)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this 55 inch LG OLED TV to replace an LG LED offering from five years ago. I was satisfied with the current TV but couldn’t be happier with the upgrade - this television in an improvement in every measurable category.
The colors are incredibly vibrant and detailed. The OLED panel displays contrast to an extreme degree. The darks are pitch black and the colors pop off of the screen. The television works best in a dark environment but the brightness of the C3 makes it effective for my viewing in all light environments.
I use an audio receiver and the ARC output of the HDMI works well with zero lag. The UI is intuitive and the applications run quickly and without delay. The remote is impressive and controls every media device in my cabinet (allowing me to declutter my living room). The system can also be set up to control the volume of the audio receiver - again eliminating clutter. The device will turn on the receiver automatically when the TV turns on.
The television is very thin and when mounted with a pan and tilt mount, it has improved travel compared to the TV it replaced. While it is thin, it doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap. The material is durable and feels solid.
I selected this TV after reading numerous reviews stating it the was the best in its category. I am happy to report that it has exceeded my expectations. Streaming, physical media, and gaming all seem upscaled and improved to how they were on an alternative device. I game with a Super Nintendo (both classic and original release are hooked up to the LG C3) and both operate perfectly with no lag.
I use over the air broadcast and I have also found this to be stronger on this TV compared to its predecessor. The built in tuner has the ability to create a “guide” experience and show me what is on each channel prior to selecting the content. It also can receive internet TV through alternative providers and this offers me content that I was previously unable to enjoy. I have also tested the television with older physical media and find that it presents an improved picture.
In conclusion; if you are looking for a modern TV that delivers the best experience for audio, video, and ease of operation, I would highly recommend the LG C3. My family has been blown away by the improvement from another 4K option and feel like now was the right time to upgrade. This TV also delivers incredible value - compared to offerings from competition, you will get a superior device and pay less. Getting the latest from a company that is pioneering display technology; you would make the right choice if you select the LG C3

Great Tv, but wish I could set the sound out to DEFAULT to Hdmi(ARC)! Every time I turn the Tv on, I have to go to settings and change sound out to HDMI(ARC)!

Excellent picture. Don’t like the center button on the magic remote. Too sensitive. Home Screen a little busy.
The stand could have cutout to accommodate sound bar wires.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our new tv back in early December and absolutely love this setup. We added a LG 5.1 surround sound system and it ties into the tv’s speakers for incredible sound. During my research I discovered that LG makes the screens for most of the major brands. So why go anywhere else but the source? Great picture, sound and overall performance. You won’t be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am pleased with my new tv with one exception. I have Spectrum high speed internet and cannot download the Spectrum App on the tv. This forced me to purchase Roku remote in order to watch tv on my Spectrum App.

Would be 5 stars, but I need an instruction manual. I mostly watch cable TV, and also stream Netflix and Disney. I'm not sure what LG TV stations are good. I started watching a movie, but there were so many commercials, I stopped early on and haven't tried any others since. I bought a sound bar with mine, but just leave it turned off, because I don't know what the settings should be. When I first set it up, it echoed horribly. Then I turned off the TV sound and just ran the sound bar, and it kept turning itself off. I don't know how to set it up. The cable company helped me synch their remote with the LG TV, but when I use the cable remote to turn the TV, it automatically goes to the LG home screen. I just want to watch cable, so each time I have to fiddle with the LG remote to click on HDMI. Wish I could just open straight to cable. The color doesn't always look right. Sometimes the men look like they are wearing lipstick. Wish I knew how to adjust it. I need an instruction manual. If you haven't guessed, I'm a senior citizen.

This TV has a fantastic image! The quality is really great.
A minor issue that we were able to solve was getting our AppleTV device connected. The TV kept trying to control the device so after we disabled the smart display features it connected, then we were able to enable them again.
The remote is not the best. No play/pause button, just the center button with a scrolling feature that is kind of weird. The bottom buttons should be customizable. The magic pointer feature is a bit awkward to use.
