It's good to see your channel grow bigman, keep up the great work you're doing Paul. 👍🏻
Hey Paul! Loved the video. Great as always. I have the 77-inch C3. I don't have it mounted, but I have vaulted ceilings and thought the audio was just fine. Granted, I can't hear it when I'm on the side of the TV 15 feet away (due to the configuration) but when I'm 10 feet away straight ahead (where my couch is) it sounds great! Of course sound bars will sound better, but it's not the worst-sounding TV in the world.
Always appreciate your honest reviews.
It's a pleasure 👍
Just wondering is the sound quality on LG C3 better than LG CX 55inch ?
Your videos are so interesting and informative 👍.
I recently bought an LG OLED c3 65 inch upgrading from 65 inch lg nanocell and the difference is like night and day. The picture is just gobsmacking and gaming is incredible.
Keep on making your videos.
How on earth can a company be criticised for too many updates. Its better to fix something quickly than make people wait for ages.
I get your point, and I rather have constant updates than none at all. However, imagine if instead of TV you're dealing with a car that has to go to the garage every week for "updates".
Hi Paul! I’m new to this whole TV stuff and just recently learned about burn-in. Say I want to purchase a TV for video gaming, would you recommend this particular TV?
I’ve been researching about TVs and honestly super impressed with the picture quality of OLED. However those burn-in risk scared me immensely since these TVs are definitely not cheap. Thanks!
Oled has come a long way.
Remember galaxy s7?
Oled was new then.
After ive used it for 2 yrs ive used S7 for music and radio. The display was always on on max brightness.
It took around 6yrs of usage like that to get burn in.
I guarantee you wont be using your C3 that way.
You should be fine if you use it for gaming.
Is it possible to cast from youre phone to tv and i dont mean mirroring your screen
I ran an extension lead in the wall and it pugs in behind the tv. No issue but I get it.
Had an update a few days back, not a massive problem, not noticed the frequency.
I run a Sonos Arc/Sub/One SL surround, a sound bar is a must with any modern TV really.
The remote is awesome but the shiny plastic is shite.
Do a screen refresh to prevent burn in, go outside and stop playing games, watching tv for hours. That isn’t a C3 issue, it’s an OLED issue.
A box isn’t going to put anyone off😂it’s a box, f**k the box!!!
Out of box settings are poor but who doesn’t want to adjust the settings.
Some valid points but nothing major to put anyone off buying one.
Exactly. Surely you should see this video as a good thing if these are the worse things about the tv.
Nice review, with minimal tech speak and easy to understand language. I've been seeing nothing but glowing reports for this tv so it's important for me to see the other side, for balance. The sound was my main concern in this review and though no deal breaker I agree the box should be more appealing at this price point. Thumbed up.
I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Impossible to get burn in if you keep the Screen Move feature on
That’s just not true 😂
Worse thing for me is CEC isn’t working and eArc as well….
I'm in love with my C3 and only issue for my TV is that sometimes it lowers the brightness of the TV after a while watching a HDR content or a DV movie
There was suppose be update that fixed that.
@@robertearleverett9017 was it? I am on 3.0.73 something. It still happens but I'll check for new update again
@@robertearleverett9017 Even the C4 still dims. It seems to not be something LG wants to simply solve with a software update. Or is incapable of. The G4 seems to be better though
Turn logo burn in protection off when watching movies. Turn logo burn in protection on when watching watching sports or gaming ps5, pc. This should do the trick.
Plz unbox the c4 ❤️
Looking forward to the G4
Giant the 77 c4 I’m still happy with. Just little brighter and the 144 hz for pc bout it!
Do you recomend LG C3 or S90D for games+movies
Samsung's QD-OLEDs beat the pants off LGs WOLEDs. Better brightness and color volume in HDR, generally cleaner screens with less uniformity issues, and a game mode that doesn't dim the screen and reduce color saturation. The LG C series really just isn't comparable
For gaming and movies- s90d, its way better, no vrr flicker unlike woleds... Ive got s90c gen1 with nvidia gsync chip and i dont see any vrr flicker, not even in darkest games, that alone is a winner for any gamer
I've got the 55". The sound quality is far more than I need. You have to calibrate it for the acoustics of your room using the graphic equalizer and AI settings. The bass is more than enough to make my walls shake. Chance of burn in from DOGs can lessened by using the AI to find the DOGs on screen and to lower the brightness of the pixels in the relevant areas of the screen. I agree that the remote is nasty. Thankfully my old LG plasma remote operates most of the C3's functions, and to be honest, has far better functionality with play/pause/stop/FF/Rewind functions for the media player which the C3 remote doesn't have. I find the screen pointer to be unresponsive when I've used it which isn't much as I primarily use the TV as a monitor for my Sky box. My only major gripe is the C3's lack of ability to make the woefully low bitate BBC HD channels look any better than they actually are, but then I'm reminded that a pig with lippy on is still a pig.
As I say, I agree with some of your points here, but much of the rest is finding fault where there really isn't any. I paid £919 for my C3. Best bargain of my life.
I got the 65 and wasn’t happy with it at all blown out highlights washed out colours, in both HDR and SDR intact the colours in SDR are all over the place was too bright greens, reds, etc etc I had to return it for a Samsung which I thought I’d never do but this Samsung s90c blows my mind how good it actually is compare to LG, when I got the LG I was coming from a old Samsung 2018 model, wanted to get away from Samsung but never happened like that the lg was huge disappointment especially when paying £1600 for a crappy experience no thanks lg the c3 was a lemon. The great C series was let down with the C3
The C4 came back with revenge that’s the one to go for.
@@scottish-atechreviews Colour wise, I prefer them muted so I have a more natural palette. Bright colours give me a headache. My only initial gripe was the screen being dark, but after exploring all the settings, turning everything off, and starting from zero, I'm very happy with it. I found it took a good week to bed in. Whether there's any actual science behind that, I don't know.
@@jivebunny3765 I actually find my Samsung s90c being better colour and not oversaturated like the LG C3 was I just can’t believe it my self as I’ve said years samshit or samdung but hey this S90C is really something else
Hello the teach, you fail to tell us the worst thing about the Hisense A7G?
I personally think that the box looks good. What you are referring to, brings me to Windows XP and cheap microwaves vibe. Good parts of it goes by the name "frutiger aero". Thats totally not up to date
i compared my CX 48" with the c3 and c4. Its a joke what LG is doing with the brightness. still no upgrade needed for small size TVs
Do you mean the brightness boost isnt noticable?
Dynamic Tone Mapping correctly configured in Professional mode makes the LG C4 better in brightness than the Samsung S90D.
@@RenatoKazuo8w problem is: there is no S90D small size TV and the C4 bigger TVs are not the same as the small 42-48" ones.
انت مبدع شكرا ❤
Can you do the video of Samsung TV
I love my C3 but you must watch it in a dark room with the brightness turned up to 100 and most of the other brightness levels on medium or high and the contrast turned up to 85.
I don’t get these posts about OLED brightness. I have the A80L and it is more than bright enough (and significantly dimmer than the C3).
@@killerinst1ncz308 Yeah LG C3 and every other OLED nowadays are insanely bright. I can not describe how much I'm baffled by the people who are complaining about lack of brightness on OLEDs.
You have set me off on a rant again, so here are my bad points.
1 That fixed mains lead, it is just stupid and far too short.
2 The so called "Magic" remote, i just can't stand how it works,
i bought a full IR remote inplace of it, what a difference.
3 The pesky updates proves that 12 months after release there are still bugs to fix
and some updates create more issues, you can disable them permanently with a
service remote, but this may void the warranty.
4 Bad panels, the 43 and 48" use an older lower grade panel and suffer banding
and as i found out they can and do fail with one side darker than the other.
5 The new models are little better than the previous ones, LG claim to have upgraded
the smaller panels and improved brightness, i have yet to confirm this
My verdict, make sure yo can live with these issues or you may wish you had never bought one.
I am saving up for a Sony Mini-Led, LG have let me down and once that happens i never buy
that brand again. Rant over!
Yeah had to buy a soundbar but now it's unreal
when it come to the processor & picture quality for watching films & tv shows I say sony slightly better but for gaming lg win hands down
Actually Samsung has best game mode now. C3 already isn't as bright and lags in color volume compared to QD-OLED, but then LG dims and reduces color saturation even further in game mode. Samsung S90C/S90D are definitely the best for gaming. 4 2.1 ports, 144hz for PC, and full brightness and color saturation. Also wide range of customization within game mode for if you want things to look accurate basically like filmmaker mode for games or if you want games to look punchier.
If Samsung got 1 thing right it’s the one connect box, all premium tv company’s should follow suit.
The sound quality on my 55inch c3 is really decent, I did however turn off Dolby atmos and noticed a massive difference. Some reason the Dolby atmos makes the sound much more quieter
Where is the pleasure in all this wonderful new technology where you have bloody updates Popping up when you’re watching the bloody news? I would rather have a cheaper TV and be left in peace.
VRR/Gsync OLED gamma flicker is the worst thing about any OLED but not many people at all mention it. You can get around it to some extent with a frame limiter but man was I bummed out and stressed trying BS solutions on the internet written by morons.
Don't want updates then dont connect it to the internet. They are other solutions for the apps you use if the updates are doing your tits in.
Remote, yeah its plastic. I am sure however the metal plated backlit remote you want will probably increase the cost a further 50 to a 100 but it isn't their top tier television so.......?.
The sound is crap but what flat screen TV has ever had adequate sound?. As for the box well, no body cares as we are not reviewing TVs and they quickly end up in the landfill anyway,
There was no real improvement over the C2
Little brighter and the 144hz is about it.
@@robertearleverett9017Dude 144hz only for the c4 not the c3
So how do we know when we should update the tv then if you’re saying turn auto updates off? What do we do just never install them. As for the lead cut off the plug and join another wire to the tv lead to extend it,and as for the box are you serious? I’d rather a tv be delivered in plain boxes so no one can see exactly what the tv is which could be something that would stand out for potential thieves
