I've had the C1 for 18 months with no issues. LG make the best oleds
Thank you. Love your review.
Fantastic video man, I may get this TV for the bedroom to be hones. But check this, still waiting on the Home theater room tour. Cannot wait for that one! Keep up the content bro!
Appreciate you. Man a C3 for the bedroom would be BOSS STATUS! So the Home Theater is coming together just got the furniture the other day and the screen is now up, as well as the projector is in...just got some other small things to get and that video will be coming soon.
@CKid TV Cool cool, yeah in my gaming office I have the 42 Inch Sony OLED A90k and I love that.
He’s back, Great review!
You already know...I never left haha. Turn them notifications on for "ALL" videos.
My lg CX 65inch cracked. Thus why I’m here. Love your channel. Liked and subscribed instantly.
Appreciate the love fam! Welcome to the squad!
Fantastic video! Thank you.
Love these vids keep it up 👍
Appreciate you fam! 💯 I got the SHOWDOWN happening next...C2 vs C3. That should be a good one lol. Got some dope stuff planned for that one.
Thanks for the review
For sure
Great review, thanks !
Appreciate you 💯
Dope video Ckid
Appreciate you Ms K...much love
I believe with the second question he was asking about the input lag and not the response time. Input lag is around 4.7 millisecond at 120hz and probably hovers to 9ms at 60hz. Great video overall bro. I totally enjoyed it.
Ahhh I think you're right...aye I mess up too LOL
@@CKidM It's completely fine man. The Video is lit regardless. Keep up the good work.
@@CKidM It's all good but yeah that's what I was asking about, still not bad honestly for a well rounded tv/monitor.
This tv has a input lag of 0.1 ms it shows on the website
where i m buying from LG c3 55 inch 4k oled with 100hz and 0.1ms
@@NLbeatrix-tq4pr I presume the website has it wrong, there is no display which could do 0.1 input lag it's the response time. OLED displays are known for their instant response times. Input lag hovers around 4 ms at 120hz which is insanely fast too.
I have the new c3 in 65 and the c2 in 65, the difference is not noticeable unless you put them side by side and the only thing you will notice if you look HARD I’d the c3 is a tiny little little liiiiiitle bit brighter. I would say to anyone thinking about getting one of these tvs, to just go with the c2 unless you have the extra money to spend comfortably.
I've had my lg c9 since 2019. Still looks amazing when gaming on my ps5 and no burn in whatsoever. I'm planning on upgrading to the Sony a95l sometime this year. Looking forward to it.

Finally got my hands on the LG C3 - bestbuy.7tiv.net/vNNK5y and do you agree with my 1 week review? Let me know EVERYTHING you wanna know about it? I got you! 💪🏾
Great one brother
Appreciate you king!
Finally getting the 77" friday damn im excited
I have a LG 4k TV from 2018 that was only 499 and has worked really well. I haven't had an OLED TV and I just ordered this one. I'm ready to see it!
I just got the 55 C2 because of sale price.. absolutely amazing TV. I might actually look at G3 later this year or early next if it goes well.
Yea I got the 55" G3 coming to the studio later next week...so be on the lookout for video from me. I'm hype to check out MLA
did you end up getting one? the c3 is the same price as a C2 right now. $1300. I think I'm gonna definitely gonna snag one. it'll be my first OLED. 🥹
How much u paid back then?
Any of the c models are worth buying and will last you a long time. My c9 still holds up after 4 years like it just came out of the box. The lg oleds are unmatched. I tell my friends the same thing, any c you get will last and be amazing for gaming and streaming.
I have one of those too in one of my bedrooms. Still looks great. I use apple 4k on all my tvs so never worried about the UI that comes with the tv. Still looks great!!! The luxury hotel I work at uses these tvs too for their rooms and conferences. So that’s saying something 😅 LGs are the bees knees!!!
I just bought the c2 42' love it
@@JerichoRpwe0692💯
My CX is still going strong after 3 years running about 14 hours a day as a main monitor. They’re such great screens. Nothing like it for gaming.
I just finally picked up the c2 42" and loving it
I just bought it yesterday and having it deliver today!
Have you had any issue while gaming and the screen dimming?
@@sunnyx213 no dimming. But in some games I'm getting a ghosting effect. Not sure what it is(TV or game)
Are u considering upgrading to the C3 42”?
@@sunnyx213that’s the ABL and it lowers the screen brightness.
@@michael-4k4000 no. I'm not into that sorta thing.( like how everyone who's brainwashed with the cell phones, and every 6 months the companies change little things and we all fall for it and keep spending stupid amounts of money).. No way. I'll keep this until it dies
Awesome review, man thank you
I got a great deal on a 42" C3 just before Black Friday. I'm using it as a computer display, and I've mounted it on a monitor arm.
I knew the visial quality was good, but i was wondering about the sound. Glad it seems great.
Yes the sound quality is good...but make sure you use AI Sound Pro...it will give you the best sound for your room.
Hi, is it possible to play in 4K/120Hz via GeforceNow? Or is it still only limited to 1080p??
I pick up c3 55inch for 1299 in uk 5 year warranty lg has the best gaming feature & lowest imput lag & massive upgrade from my sony lcd 4k 120hz allm & vrr tv
Still using the 65” CX as a monitor after 3 years. They’re incredible screens. Tempted to try the S90c as an upgrade but I’m going to stick with LG and get the C3.
great review. the G3 comes with wall mounts!
Costco has this bad boy for $2099 and 5 year warranty with 3 years from all state can’t beat that
I think alot of it comes down to where your at and the price differences between the two, I'm moving to the Philippines in a month and there a C2 is priced around 700-800 usd where the C3 will be much higher than here in the States as generally electronics there are a bit pricier which sucks, for me it comes down to 700 usd for a C2 42" or around 2,000 usd for a C3 42" and at that point the decision really isn't that hard to make...lol Have a good one CKid!
Yea I mean at that big of a price difference it's a no brainer I'd go with the C2 over the C3...no way is it worth a $1,300 price difference.
@@CKidM Agreed. Just got a 65" C2 last week for $1,399. Amazon and Best Buy had a 3-day sale.
I'm thinking of the 48" A2 or C3. It will be for the bedroom. Is the audio actually good?
People cannot see 144 refresh rate. Our naked eye can only see so much. Respect.
C1 I’m good love my TV. How high does the HDR?
Shoot my LG CX still going strong 💪🏼, definitely copping a 42” for a office monitor
Aye if it works it works!
Facts, I still have mine, but I'm going to upgrade to the C3.
Great cod play at the beginning 👌🏽 also the G series "Gallery series" LGs come with a wall mount but not a stand. Supposedly they are brighter too while offering all of the c3 features. I'm curious which is better for gaming? FpS low latency benefits. Would u be down to do a vid? Your obviously competitive at cod. So I'd be very interested to see which TV is better for that particular game. Great content. Hitting the sub button
Appreciate you!
Just dropped my G3 review and talked about this in that video...go check it out.
Will it upscale DVDs good? Or Blu rays only?
Thanks for answering the excellent yellow question above.
now i have another question bro, lg c3 and lg g3 have something which is auto dimming, which darkens dark videos the longer dark it gets darker. If you can examine that part, they say they already released the update to fix that auto dimming.
Another thing is that the reds are opaque, according to other videos I saw, could you please take a look.
I'm asking all this because I want to buy an LG C3 TV but I don't want to be disappointed. People like you help me make a good purchase. Thanks for everything, you're great.
The c3 is the most important TV according to me for the price and I suppose several are interested in more analysis.
For sure...so with my testing with gaming and watching content on it (TV Shows, Movies, CZcams videos) with the latest update I haven't experienced any auto dimming issues. The brightness levels seem to remain and not auto-dim. I'll test out the reds for you and get back with you on that one. But overall colors are really good on this TV.
@@CKidM Thanks friend, greetings from Peru.
Sony A95K owner here. Nice video.
I wanna test that TV out...I hear good things.
@@CKidM and I can't wait by fall 2023 to buy a PS5 for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine games.
Luv,Luv,Luv my C3
Best all around OLED TV of 2023.
too expensive for now... you can get OLEDs with heatsink for that price.
Man I couldn't agree more! 💯. Picture quality is so good...and I feel the software is exactly how it should've been on the C2. LG got it right this time around.
How is sdr gaming brigthness
If you like black crush then yes
Hi, I need to know something, 3 days ago I bought the LG C3 so I connected the PS5 to HDMI port 4 and the game optimizer option comes out but it doesn't let me change the color presets, the central icon is blocked, this also applies in port 2 3, the unlocked icon is only given to me in port N1 and normal?
Quel magnifique test 😊!.
Does 42 c3 keep on dimming every 2 mins while gaming ....42 c2 used to dim like hell while gaming..and I had to return my 42 c2 because of that..
What’s the best settings for the picture when gaming? I’m playing spiderman 2 and the city seems a bit blurry at night with all the city lights, not sure if that’s normal? Or maybe I need a better hdmi cable?
Did you find a solution to this? I had the same problem
Do you have a best gaming settings video for the C3 like you did for the c2? Or would I use the C2 settings? I can’t seem to tune the tv to the best settings. Thanks, and thanks for all the info you provide!
Regge i 120 fps?
What's it like playing games beside a window? I obviously like playing at night but if I'm gaming during the day I like having daylight coming through (so I'm not a complete goblin). Is it bright enough like a LCD or will I have trouble seeing things even wt max brightness?
I’m your case I’d go with the C3 over the C2. The C3 is brighter and playing against a window is fine. I actually have a window right behind this tv in the video. So that gives you a chance to see what it will look like. Yes you will see a glare because of its glossy panel but it’s still bright enough for you to see the picture clearly.
The Samsung Frame comes with wall mounting hardware and solid instructions w/all sizes.
Yea I forgot about that one...but that's because that TV is special and has to make sure is laying completely flush to the wall.
I have the LG C1. Is it time for an upgrade?
Good review! Here in the UK the C1 is still £999 on discount! I’m looking to upgrade from a 10 year old led Samsung, should i go for Oled? And is the C1 still worth it? Or should i for a sony? Ps. I’m still a ps4 owner!
To me if you are going to make the jump from Samsung LED to the OLED life...I would either go C2 or C3. The C2 in some places are discounted right now and you would be happy. But since you keep your TV's for around 10+ years then it might be best to go C2 or C3 over the C1. I haven't experienced Sony's yet but I do plan on getting those on the channel.
Go with C2 on discount. Brightness is around 800 nits in highlights so around what C3 is capable. C3 is really not worth the price bump compared to C2 here in Europe.
@@CKidM will start hunting for good deals! I may have to take out a Costco membership!
@@Artek385 thanks will do, where can i get the best deals? I bought my last tv from John Lewis, and the 5 year warranty came in handy, as I needed the engineer out in years 2 and 4!
I have an old cx with 10k hours on it. Not a single pixel of burn in and its still beautiful. Wanna upgrade to 77in
bro i'm planning on buying 48 inch c3, is it good? is it any different than the 55 inch one? i'm hearing a lot of bad reviews for the 48 inch one. can you please help me out?
have you purchased?
pixel response of 0.1 maybe, but not input lag. they are two different things.
Nice video
Is C3 better than CX ?
Of course!!
HI HOW IS THE POWER FROM THE NEW CPU AND DO YOU THINK ITS BETTER TO YOU FROM LAST GEN C.2.
I think they are both comparable...but I give the edge from a WebOS perspective to the C3 because of the new layout and design. They have removed a lot from the software that was on the C2 that was slowing up the C2 over time.
yes 100% more calibration information is always welcome so please let us know how you set yours up please
what gamepad are you using with geforce now ?
I like to know how Dolby Vision on Xbox Series X looks. As the colors look grayed out or mute.
Can you do some calibrations for the C3 Model
What is the gaming lag on the c2 please let me no thanks great video
g2/3 comes with the wall mount. You have to purchase a stand if you are not Wall mounting.
Yea I peeped that once I uploaded the video...haha...but I do have the G3 coming in house hopefully this week if it gets shipped out. Looking forward to that MLA screen.
im stuck between getting the Sony A90k 42" or LG C3 42", which would be better for picture quality? i would want gaming features but i don't mind sacrificing Gaming for a better Picture.
A90K is more of a C2 competitor.
@@ShiggyCompPt2 thats understandable as both are 2022 models but that doesn't answer which has the better picture quality between the 2..A90k is better then C2 in picture but how does the C3 rival against the A90k in picture
@@ruffiyan according to rtings, c2 is better than a90k. check out their comparison
@@ShiggyCompPt2 iv seen it and its not correct or its very bias, in gaming i'd understand LG is better but never in picture quality, thats where sony beats LG.
Lg 42 c2 had aggressive auto dimming...how is it on 42 c3 and how much more is the peak brightness is more as compared to 42 c2..
I read recently that they’ve sorted the auto dimming on the C3
Yea I never Own an lg oled before so this will be an experience I heard the g3 gonna be good too
Yea the G3 is next up.
The G3 comes with wall mount
Oh LIT...yea I plan on scooping that one up next. I'm hype to experience that one.
Not everyone wants to wall mount a t.v,for me no stand is a deal breaker so it’s the C3 for me.
What he said
@@leebuck4860 u can still buy the stand brokie
I am on the market for an 77in oled
I can’t decide between the G2 or C3?
Which is the better buy?
I would go for a C3. They are better value. Of course, if your budget permits it, the G3 is the best TV you can get
Ooh 😲 men it's pretty cool men I'm thinking about getting another LG it probably going to be c3 😎👍
I mean I'm not mad at that decision...whatever room you bout to put that in will be butta.💯
Is this tv a better buy than Sony a80l? Is it brighter? Is upscaling low bit rate content on par? Thank you!
Yes it is brighter than the A80L
How would you say it compares to a Sony A90k? Like picture quality and color accuracy wise.
I will be getting that TV soon...ya boy ain't rich...lol one TV at a time.
@@CKidM lol I feel you but thanks!
A90K will ate this sht 😭 the XR recipe sauce is just on another levelll
The g3 in bame mode is horrible, does the c3 do the same in game mode?
Can I pare Bluetooth headphones to this tv or any other tv?
Yo, bro! I've been a Samsung TV guy for aaaaages. My 7000 series QLED (2018) packed up about 6 months after 5 years of usage.. disappointing to say the least! It definitely got me thinking about how well built their TV's really are!? Although, I know any TV can pack up at any time. Anyway! This TV? The C2? Or Samsung's 2023 OLED flagship? Comment users.. feel free to wade in!
So I plan on getting the Samsung latest flagship TVs and making content around those as well. But I’ve had the C2 for over 1 year so far and haven’t had many issues with it. My only complaint with the C2…well I talk about all of it in my 1 year later video on the channel. Best to see for yourself in there. But the C2 is a solid option coming from a 2018 tv. Plus you can get it on discount right now.
Rockie review. Bfi 60hz like c2 or 120hz like c1?
He man, just a heads up, not one manufacturer is honest about their response times. The best response times you can get right now (and that's with oled) is ~1ms, even tn's claim 0.1ms but they have 4-5ms. Va's from years ago claimed 1ms but they were 10-15ms+. You have to buy a tool to measure monitor response times to know.
Any pixel refresher to combat burn 🔥 in ? Or does it do it in the background??
Both
And when does this tv come out I hope it comes in the summer
The C3 is out now. Link in description and pinned comment.
i personaly think that backscreen option in menu is not aded because of burning pixels :/ if you think about that there will be some picture in menu all of the time, it should be not ideal much :/ but for sure it should looks cool
I own both. They're probably 98% identical, and i mean literally almost the same. C3 looks slightly brighter and a tiny bit sharper. However, you will only notice this if placed side by sidw with c2. If you own c2 no reason to upgrade. If you're choosing between both get c2 since it's cheaper. If you can afford it go c3. Simple
N thats why the C2 n C3 is same price
C3 better tech inside
I kept reading that the C3 has something like 20-30% brighter screens in the 55” and larger models. Picked up a 55” C3 a few weeks ago and I can’t really tell a difference, but they’re not side by side. Regardless, it makes for a great gaming monitor. Even during the day with a lot of sunlight coming into the room, I don’t max out the brightness.
@@o.c.g.m9426I just bought the c3 wanted to get the c2 cause supposedly is cheaper but literally same price save 40 dollars lol so I got the C3 no regrets
Tv looks overly blue
Thanks a lot bro, with all the tips and specs... im decided to buy the lg c3
Dope...what size did you get...and did you use my link tho lol
The same size, 55 in... and no no use the link 😂😂
@@FurbyML87 W on the TV size...but L on not using the link lol
I know bro... my bad.
But... im a new subscriber in your channel 😂😂
I have the lg C1 is it worth changing it for the C3?
To me I feel like there is enough changes from the C1 to make the upgrade...but honestly you should be able to find the C2 discounted which is also good. But the updates to the C3 to me makes it worth the jump. Brighter OLED and updated menu features.
Hi, can you suggest me if in 2023 does it make sense to buy a C2 at an advantageous price, a new C3 or go to a sony A95K? I know sony has just released the new tvs, but they will come out too late.
Thanks guys
I am also looking for a 42” and I am uncertain between C3, C2 and A90k (42”)
Honestly I think a lot of it comes down to your budget. If the G3 is not too expensive then I like this TV...but if you do not have the C2 already then I would look at the C3 if you are wanting a good solid TV with a more moderate price. Now when it comes to the Sony...I've yet to get the chance to experience Sony TV's so I can't speak on them at that moment.
Great Review! which COD game is that?
MW2
Что лучше купить для постоянной игры на Xbox series x, Samsung 43qn90c, или LG42C3?

I think I’m just going with a 55” C2, it’s going for $1200 right now at Best Buy. Might give it another few months maybe it’ll drop further
I think that’s a good idea. Feel free to use my link below to go to Best Buy to purchase which supports the channel. Appreciate you
For hdr movies and gaming did you like this better than the sony a80l?
For gaming when it comes to the menu options and navigation and settings I like the C3...but for watching movies and such...I prefer the A80L
@@CKidM oh ok cool cool. One more thing if you can....with one do you think had the overall better picture quality with gaming and movies? I wish I could get both but can only choose one lol. Thanks
g3 comes with wall mount.
Yea I noticed that right after I filmed this video haha. I got the G3 ordered...hopefully should be in next week.
Backlight Strobing (BFI) 60hz or 120hz ?
I don't go that deep into my testing. I use it as a normal average consumer would. I would recommend another channel for the too techie nerdy stuff.
55 inç ekran küçük mü büyük mü ?
I'll wait for the C4 if there will be better tech in it compared to the C3, it would last longer?
just wait for the c25...much better
W Content!
My guy 💪🏾
That hdmi 2.1 port is that important if so I’ll get the c3 later down the line and should I get a hdmi 2.1 or it’s not that worth it
Yes for gaming it is very important in order to get 4K 120hz when gaming.
@@CKidM dang so I’m guessing the c3 doesn’t come with a hdmi 2.1 sheesh that means I gotta buy one
