@@michael-4k4000 I'm not crazy enough to spend over a grand on a new TV when I did just that a year ago. It'll last me a good 6-7 years before I need to upgrade.
From the looks of it, you're reviewing the "smart" functions that are all software based, contrast enhancing, upscaling, etc. But what of the hardware? Is it the same panel? Can we expect better longevity, better burn-in handling? These are the things that matter most when dealing with OLEDs of this caliber.
What hasn't been mentioned but is quite important if you have a AVR and speaker setup is that the C3 has DTS passthrough if you use your PS5 as a Blu Ray player. The C2 doesn't have that and for me, that's quite a big deal
I’m actually surprised the differences were that noticeable between the C2 and C3 in many scenes. It’s good to see that the new processor makes a noticeable difference. I have the 77” C3 and everything I’ve watched on it just looks great. Great comparison!
@@kalumanderdawg the title was click bait almost every category he had something to say about the C3 being better and brighter. He even says the C2 looks like 1080 while the C3 looks 4K
The differences, overall, are - as he stated in the video - minimal. The new processor in the C3 is an extremely easy 'upgrade' for any media device company, and it's the one that gives the 'biggest change' i.e. responsiveness - clearly, the C3's UI is faster. In conclusion, it shows those with a C2 just how good a purchase that was and lets potential purchasers know that going for the C2 is good advice. Crucially, it will let manufacturers know that they should be making bigger improvements between product launches...and NOT relying on the 'easy' CPU upgrade route to fool buyers.

Just got a C3. Had a C7 from 2017. The difference is amazing. Outside the OS being brilliant the main difference is the standard HD picture is very close to the brilliance of the old 4K picture
I've had a C7 since 2018 and also considering an upgrade. What differences are you most impressed by? Is the brightness considerably better? I find that my C7 is quite dim sometimes, mainly when playing games in HDR.
Useful video for knowing what the differences are between the yearly updates but unless you are wanting a specific feature such as DTS audio support, which the C2 does not have, then it always makes far more sense to just purchase the previous year's model which will likely be half the price at the time of the new model's release. I bought a 55" LG C3 to replace my 55" 2019 LG B9 a couple of weeks ago and I am absolutely delighted with it. The 2024 C4 is just an iterative update on the C3 at twice the price with the only real difference being a 10% brightness improvement which no-one is ever going to notice outside of a UA-cam side by side comparison video. It just made no sense for me to buy the C4 as both it and the C3 support DTS and are otherwise identical in terms of specs (the C4 has an updated processor and version of WebOS but neither of those justify paying the extra over the C3 in my opinion).
Just bought the C3 42” for watching movies/series and for gaming on PS5. I’m so hyped! I was doubting between C2 and C3 but black friday got me a C3. Thanks for this video!
The processor looks superb on the C3 - the difference in detail on some of these shots is quite big. Looks like LG have changed the picture modes so it looks like it's darker but it does so by crushing some blacks.
Got my c2 a fortnight before c3 release and I would have gotten a c3 if it was out, I'm disappointed with audio format support dts which you have. Pictures fine upscaling no big deal infact I think it ads grain but audio big upgrade
And...coincidentally...I ordered the C2 65 from Walmart on Cyber Monday for $1250 - lowest I've ever seen it. BUT they accidentally sent me the C3! So I got a C3 65 for $1250!
I don't buy TVs year on year. Because honestly I find it to be a waste of money but also because I honestly don't need the "latest and greatest" I have absolutely zero FOMO.. But I did go against my own grain. I had an LG C1 and I pulled the trigger on getting an LG C3. I am honestly very glad I did. As much as I love the LG C1 I knew it wasn't very bright I knew that the accuracy of it was way off and had to get it as close as I could and in all Honestly though I was very happy with it I wasn't really excited in a pitch black dark room oh yeah it was great. But my TV is in the living room to which of course there's light because I'm not a vampire. The LG C3 has been an outright awesome upgrade and I am very glad I got it with the brightness the color volume of colors the clarity and a much better operating system it is just a treat. Now I will be good for 5 years since I got the 5-year warranty and Found out LG will now Update all there 2023 and up TVs with the latest WebOS for 5 years. So now it gets software updates as well as firmware updates for 5 years. All the features enough brightness for what I need and want and it's absolutely beautiful. So I cannot wait to see what 2029 brings.
Look at minute 4.41 Look at the table deatail lost on C3 but C2 can see the detail in shadow clearly, when C3 are missing. There's only dark, what the?
I`m glad I got the C2 because despite of tiny brightness and little sharpness in some scenes I coudn`t really tell any other differences.As always with any brightness increase.We get more brightness at the cost of loosing detail in some scenes though.Like 6:43 shot. The sky on C3 in overblown and you loose a lot of details. So its a trade off. And unless side by side ,no one is gonna notice anyways.
Imma get the lg c3 just because this will be my first lg oled tv and because of the extra brightness I’m happy that I will experience 4K 120hz for the first time
@@isiah401able you basically get all 15 sound formats with c3, with c2 you get 8/15 and 70% of Blu-ray audio compatibility when with the c3 you get 100% of blu ray audio sound format support. The dts audio situation on old lg oleds sucks bro, it's nice for a long term investment. I know dts is losing against Dolby but it's still nice to have Disney plus and Plex are using it. DTS:X must sound good too but I'd never know.
Get a s95b if u want a 55 inch or 65inch. Better color gamut. I've had an lg cx and c1. I set up my sisters c2 it's not as bright as samsung or colorful
Agree. Depending on offers available at the time, someone who's buying new (i.e. first new tv in a few years etc), on Black Friday might consider the C3 over the C2 though.
they are almost the same picture quality wise (sometimes c2 looks a tiny bit better, sometimes c3 does). c3 is just a bit faster and i couldn't care less about it. at this point, the only thing i would like is to be able to buy bigger TV for less money. difference between 55 and 65" is around $800, which is crazy. you can almost get 2 55" TVs for the same money. xD
Forget the picture basically 7/15 audio formats are not supported on c2, now they finally added dts audio support playback and passthrough on 3 series lg oleds. I think that's the biggest point. I hope they put it on old lgs but probably not because LG are pricks.
I realize this is more of a question for LG, but you clearly know your stuff so maybe you just might be able to answer this...Your video shows/states that the C3 Pedestal comes with the new Metal Plate, while the C2 comes without. I just purchased the C3 65, and its base has no metal plate. I'm wondering why some do, and some don't. I've watched a few Unboxing videos, and it just seems quite *random*. Some C3's come with the plate...some don't. Should I be concerned that my C3 has a "C2 base"? Thanks!
I’m going for the latest processor on the C3 if I go LG. My current 2017 LG oled still works great but support for that web os system stopped. I stream everything and was forced to switch to Roku due to the tv would not update the Hulu app that was built in. This happened 2 years ago so support for their operating system is short lived 5 years. I may look into Sony before my purchase just for that fact.
A better comparison would be to show the settings on each tv make sure they are equal in all aspects Im watching this on the C2 i think its great for $1300
I feel like the C3 with a bit lower brightness would be perfect. 100% brightness seems to ruin some pictures. Maybe if it's lower, it's better. Otherwise, I like the way the C2 looks more.
Great content btw. I’m upgrading from an old flatscreen 42” 1080p tv so the 55” LG C2 would be ideal especially as I enjoy my gaming. But sadly there are none brand new that I can find in the UK. Even the 48” would’ve done but from what I’ve read and watched, it’s just a cloned version of the C1 at a C2 price. So I’m just gonna need to save more and buy the C3
I am either getting one of these by weekend:- LG OLED C3 48" LG OLED C2 55" LG QNED miniLED QNED91 65" will go to the store to take a look which one worth it....
I would suggest the lg oled 55 c2 which I just bought. Minimal difference for a bugger screen is better value. The mini led 91 doesn't compare. I work in HiFi and I looked/look at those tvs you mentioned day in and day out. GOOD LUCK 😊
The near black was tweaked and SD upscaling. More complex scenes favor the C2 because the C3 has to much image correction. (It's like an S95B vs an S90c...Better firmware/software with slight tweaks to make it slightly brighter. It's all about MLA on a G3 or The King, QD-OLED. C4 might be a big jump but, from the looks of it, no MLA on that glossy screen. Can they really call it C4? It's a shame Samsung hates OLED and their Operating system and menus have been crap for the past 7 years.)
Good comparison, thanks for the upload. The differences, overall, are minimal, as we see here. The new processor in the C3 is an extremely easy 'upgrade' for any media device company, and it's the one that gives the 'biggest change' i.e. responsiveness - clearly, the C3's UI is faster (and equally crucially, not that the C2's UI was an issue). In conclusion, it shows those with a C2 just how good a purchase that was and lets potential purchasers know that going for the C2 is good advice. Crucially, it will let manufacturers know that they should be making bigger improvements between product launches...and NOT relying on the 'easy' CPU upgrade route to fool buyers.
I just saw C2 and C3 yesterday side by side. The C3 I’ve seen didn’t have that purple tint on the reflection. It was like the cheaper or older models that didn’t have the purple anti-glare filter applied and the reflections on the C3 appeared more intense and bright than the reflections on the C2, to the point I thought that LG deliberately removed the filter on the 48” C3 to cut some of the cost related to it. I can clearly see your C3 (which is I presume the 55” model) has the purple anti-glare filter. Is it possible to confirm that the 48” C3 is supposed to have the same anti-glare?
Not really a fan of the sharpening algorithm on the C3. It appears over sharpened. Now the C2 has been updated to the latest OS, so it's a pretty great option to save some cash.
Thanks for another great informative video. I purchased a TCL 4K model 50S451 and hate it. Unless you're right in front the viewing fades to an annoying lightened picture. My question is which 55" TV is best so everyone in the living room can have a great picture? Mixed lighting since it's our main television and we watch it in daylight and at night with just a small light on. We have cable, don't do gaming but enjoy watching movies and I might be doing some streaming if I can ever figure it out, LOL. FYI we used to have a Plasma and could enjoy from most seats in the living room.
Bro I'm coming from the LG UHD 2018 maneeeee my c2 48" omg man mostly ps5 and dled movies on my thumb drive broooo this tv is amazing beyond what UA-cam shows
the c2 has better shadow details in some scenes i noticed on a lot of videos the elephant in the intro, will smith jacket, the table (when he mentioned it)
I'm so mad about the dts audio situation. I think that's a reason to just go for c3, if your an avid Blu-ray watcher then that's basically 30-35% of Blu-ray's having garbage audio quality. And bro you're butchering the names you said c1 once.
It’ll make your audio lcpm 5.1 if you have a sound system if you’re watching movies with dts. Lcpm is uncompressed audio which sounds even better than dts
To be honest since I got my C1 I havent even considered a new tv and I feel the same for 2023. Now as far as the C2 and C3 and is it worth the upgrade? I don't honestly think so but it's up to the individual. Now if your going to a C2 to the G3? Yes it's worth the upgrade. But the C2 and C3 are very minimal at best. Just my opinion.
I bought my 77" C1 in April 2023 (build October 2022) and have had it professionally calibrated. I cannot really see the C2 or C3 to be that much of an improvement.
@@anUntouchablethe c2 factory calibration is actually really decent the last time I looked it up if I remember. The CXs factory calibration is crap though
C3 handles reflection better but the C2 color is lot better. Also the C2 handles darker scenes better. I think C2 is the better TV even if it's a little older & slower. Like the guy said cash is king. 🤷🏽♂️
Why is that that the c3 is worse in terms of color handling and dark scenes than the c2. A new generation should be better? Would you recommend the c2 or c3 finally?
@@mbz4652 My theory is that they want to protect the gallery series. You want the brighter TV you're gonna have to buy the top tier TV. I think they didn’t do that for the C2 & G2 & people opted for the cheaper tv since there wasn't much of a difference. My folks recently bought a cheap 4k 65 inch Walmart Vizio & they love it. I think they paid like 300 hundred bucks for it. So if you're on the oled train go for the gallery. Just keep in mind that you'll have to calibrate it. They don't have a great picture out of the box. Also at the end of the day it's content over resolution. Good luck & don't go into debt for a TV. Cash is king!
@@mbz4652 I went for the 55inch C2 because it was cheaper. I got mine at a Bestbuy Outlet that had nothing but open box/returned items. I got it for $600.00 & that made it worth it for me. I live in a small apartment so 55inch was more than enough for me.
C3 has personalised picture wizard and virtual 9.1.2 surround. C2 don't have personalisation and also it has 7.1.2 virtual surround. AI upscaling of sdr content is better in c3.
illl wait for the c3 after i had to return 2 defect samsung high ends in a row, i go with a lg but i wait for a price drop to like 1.299 hope it happens soon just have my 2010 tv now
Have C1 and C2. My C1 is no question better in every way than my C2. I do not like these EVO panels. IMO the C2 is a downgrade from the C1. If you ask me the C1 is the best Oled Lg has made. I would have gotten the B2 if I could go back.
I got the C2 use it for the computer and tv so I can get extra value and use compared to just splitting cost to 2 units one for tv or one for computer display. I probably wait for c4 or c8 honestly before a upgrade becomes tempting with real leaps in technology and features. My c2 is for me is amazing for the price. I got 500 usd discount in January this year so that worked for me. Now is 1500 usd in stores in my country from reliable outlets.
I’m looking to upgrade my 10 year old Sony to a LG OLED, would like a 65 but the price is a bit steep. Thinking another 55 but can’t decide. Thinking of a G2 at the moment but can get a C2 now for £1149, over a G2 for £1499 and whatever it is for a stand as can’t wall mount it. Or do I get a newer C3 for the same price? Or do I wait until before or after Xmas when there might be a better deal going? But noticing that C2s and G2s are getting harder to get hold of. Decisions decisions 😅
lol why two Sonys and no Panasonics? Sony TVs suck balls. Also, the Samsung S90C is the best bang for the buck TV on the market now. You can get the 77 inches for 2600! Amazing!@@mmadan-jr3uq
How is it even possible to see such difference in detail between these 2 TVs, while watching this UA-cam on a cheap 1920 x 1080 pc monitor? Something isn't right.
I would equate LG tv stands to motorcycle seats from Yamaha. They are simply there, because…..utilitarian at best. Almost like the electrics of a 1970’s Fiat. Designed by someone who was just passing by at lunch time. 😵💫
I want to use either of the TVs to watch graphs of the stocks I am monitoring. I was more concerned about the sharpness of the texts and the graphs. Would you be able to compare?
Seems like begging for burn in to happen watching static stock charts. Anyway text sharpness is fine, even for productivity. It will probably improve even more once Microsoft updates cleartype for WOLED pixel layouts.
Go with a Led for that, no reason to dish out money for premium TV that should not be exposed to static images, it's throwing money in the Garbage. Rich people are they wjo know how to wisely spend their money around every corner, every penny saved is a penny saved.
way too many other variables. Did you adjust the settings first to calibrate? not to mention lighting in your house is obviously on one side due to the glare we saw.

Shame u missed out on the brightness features of the 55 inch model
@@chrisahmed8660 55” is nice I know, but it’s out of my budget and I’ve got a rather dark small room, so this is fine 👌🏼
@@chrisahmed8660what do you mean
Could you compare the C3 with the G3. Would be interesting to see how much of a difference the MLA makes
The processor looks superb on the C3 - the difference in detail on some of these shots is quite big. Looks like LG have changed the picture modes so it looks like it's darker but it does so by crushing some blacks.
Got my c2 a fortnight before c3 release and I would have gotten a c3 if it was out, I'm disappointed with audio format support dts which you have. Pictures fine upscaling no big deal infact I think it ads grain but audio big upgrade
How much do these comments cost?
@@TrobsyDoo I would like to know too, it's really pathetic
C2 is lil over a grand. C3 is 200 or so more
Just got a 65" LG c3 coming from a crusty 70" Vizio M.
Holy shit was all I could say. I want to actually watch movies and tv now....
Vizio is a joke
And...coincidentally...I ordered the C2 65 from Walmart on Cyber Monday for $1250 - lowest I've ever seen it. BUT they accidentally sent me the C3! So I got a C3 65 for $1250!
I don't buy TVs year on year. Because honestly I find it to be a waste of money but also because I honestly don't need the "latest and greatest" I have absolutely zero FOMO..
But I did go against my own grain. I had an LG C1 and I pulled the trigger on getting an LG C3. I am honestly very glad I did. As much as I love the LG C1 I knew it wasn't very bright I knew that the accuracy of it was way off and had to get it as close as I could and in all Honestly though I was very happy with it I wasn't really excited in a pitch black dark room oh yeah it was great. But my TV is in the living room to which of course there's light because I'm not a vampire.
The LG C3 has been an outright awesome upgrade and I am very glad I got it with the brightness the color volume of colors the clarity and a much better operating system it is just a treat. Now I will be good for 5 years since I got the 5-year warranty and Found out LG will now Update all there 2023 and up TVs with the latest WebOS for 5 years. So now it gets software updates as well as firmware updates for 5 years. All the features enough brightness for what I need and want and it's absolutely beautiful. So I cannot wait to see what 2029 brings.
Just ordered a 42" C3, it was even 250 Euros cheaper than the C2 so it was a no-brainer. Coming from a VA panel it'll probably blow my mind.
Look at minute 4.41 Look at the table deatail lost on C3 but C2 can see the detail in shadow clearly, when C3 are missing. There's only dark, what the?
I think the c2 just looks better all around.. Im moving the c3 in my rooom and the c2 out for everyday view
I`m glad I got the C2 because despite of tiny brightness and little sharpness in some scenes I coudn`t really tell any other differences.As always with any brightness increase.We get more brightness at the cost of loosing detail in some scenes though.Like 6:43 shot. The sky on C3 in overblown and you loose a lot of details. So its a trade off. And unless side by side ,no one is gonna notice anyways.
I’m very used to my C2. I’ve seen a C3 (parent’s place), ofc I’ve never had them side by side but I couldn’t really tell a difference.
Imma get the lg c3 just because this will be my first lg oled tv and because of the extra brightness I’m happy that I will experience 4K 120hz for the first time
It's better for long term dts audio formats is the main benefit. I didn't know before c2 purchase.
@@RinzSach hell yea this will last me for a good 8 years especially that I’m coming from a Roku 4K tv
@@isiah401able you basically get all 15 sound formats with c3, with c2 you get 8/15 and 70% of Blu-ray audio compatibility when with the c3 you get 100% of blu ray audio sound format support. The dts audio situation on old lg oleds sucks bro, it's nice for a long term investment. I know dts is losing against Dolby but it's still nice to have Disney plus and Plex are using it. DTS:X must sound good too but I'd never know.
Get a s95b if u want a 55 inch or 65inch. Better color gamut. I've had an lg cx and c1. I set up my sisters c2 it's not as bright as samsung or colorful
Yea I had alot of people saying lg is better then that tv I’m look into the s95b ima watch some reviews
It's not worth the upgrade in my opinion. There isnt enough improvements for the extra cost.
Agree. Depending on offers available at the time, someone who's buying new (i.e. first new tv in a few years etc), on Black Friday might consider the C3 over the C2 though.
they are almost the same picture quality wise (sometimes c2 looks a tiny bit better, sometimes c3 does).
c3 is just a bit faster and i couldn't care less about it.
at this point, the only thing i would like is to be able to buy bigger TV for less money. difference between 55 and 65" is around $800, which is crazy. you can almost get 2 55" TVs for the same money. xD
Forget the picture basically 7/15 audio formats are not supported on c2, now they finally added dts audio support playback and passthrough on 3 series lg oleds. I think that's the biggest point. I hope they put it on old lgs but probably not because LG are pricks.
@@svinjadebela6893😅
Agreed I’m still enjoying my lg c2 and I plan on keeping it for as long as possible
I realize this is more of a question for LG, but you clearly know your stuff so maybe you just might be able to answer this...Your video shows/states that the C3 Pedestal comes with the new Metal Plate, while the C2 comes without. I just purchased the C3 65, and its base has no metal plate. I'm wondering why some do, and some don't. I've watched a few Unboxing videos, and it just seems quite *random*. Some C3's come with the plate...some don't. Should I be concerned that my C3 has a "C2 base"? Thanks!
The only difference it's the brightness +20 % and the DTS.
Are you suggesting that people actually upgrade their TVs like they upgrade phones? There is no upgrade for 6-10 years for me
Only the rich not the average
I’m going for the latest processor on the C3 if I go LG. My current 2017 LG oled still works great but support for that web os system stopped. I stream everything and was forced to switch to Roku due to the tv would not update the Hulu app that was built in. This happened 2 years ago so support for their operating system is short lived 5 years. I may look into Sony before my purchase just for that fact.
Is it possible to do a G2 vs C3?
A better comparison would be to show the settings on each tv make sure they are equal in all aspects
Im watching this on the C2 i think its great for $1300
Look like there are more details on C2, i think it depens on settings calibration, I can't believe it otherwise.
I feel like the C3 with a bit lower brightness would be perfect. 100% brightness seems to ruin some pictures. Maybe if it's lower, it's better. Otherwise, I like the way the C2 looks more.
Thanks for the review 🙏🏻
I’m coming from a C1 so I’m looking at either a G3 or C3 but the C3 is a bit more of what I rather spend
Great content btw. I’m upgrading from an old flatscreen 42” 1080p tv so the 55” LG C2 would be ideal especially as I enjoy my gaming. But sadly there are none brand new that I can find in the UK. Even the 48” would’ve done but from what I’ve read and watched, it’s just a cloned version of the C1 at a C2 price. So I’m just gonna need to save more and buy the C3
The c3 is the same as C2 lol and 1 essentially
I am either getting one of these by weekend:-
LG OLED C3 48"
LG OLED C2 55"
LG QNED miniLED QNED91 65"
will go to the store to take a look which one worth it....
I would suggest the lg oled 55 c2 which I just bought. Minimal difference for a bugger screen is better value. The mini led 91 doesn't compare. I work in HiFi and I looked/look at those tvs you mentioned day in and day out. GOOD LUCK 😊
The near black was tweaked and SD upscaling. More complex scenes favor the C2 because the C3 has to much image correction. (It's like an S95B vs an S90c...Better firmware/software with slight tweaks to make it slightly brighter. It's all about MLA on a G3 or The King, QD-OLED. C4 might be a big jump but, from the looks of it, no MLA on that glossy screen. Can they really call it C4? It's a shame Samsung hates OLED and their Operating system and menus have been crap for the past 7 years.)
Good comparison, thanks for the upload.
The differences, overall, are minimal, as we see here. The new processor in the C3 is an extremely easy 'upgrade' for any media device company, and it's the one that gives the 'biggest change' i.e. responsiveness - clearly, the C3's UI is faster (and equally crucially, not that the C2's UI was an issue).
In conclusion, it shows those with a C2 just how good a purchase that was and lets potential purchasers know that going for the C2 is good advice. Crucially, it will let manufacturers know that they should be making bigger improvements between product launches...and NOT relying on the 'easy' CPU upgrade route to fool buyers.
Thanks for this
I just saw C2 and C3 yesterday side by side. The C3 I’ve seen didn’t have that purple tint on the reflection. It was like the cheaper or older models that didn’t have the purple anti-glare filter applied and the reflections on the C3 appeared more intense and bright than the reflections on the C2, to the point I thought that LG deliberately removed the filter on the 48” C3 to cut some of the cost related to it. I can clearly see your C3 (which is I presume the 55” model) has the purple anti-glare filter. Is it possible to confirm that the 48” C3 is supposed to have the same anti-glare?
Clearly you must have seen a faulty C2
C2 was recently updated with new home and quick settings UI
Not really a fan of the sharpening algorithm on the C3. It appears over sharpened. Now the C2 has been updated to the latest OS, so it's a pretty great option to save some cash.
Thanks for another great informative video. I purchased a TCL 4K model 50S451 and hate it. Unless you're right in front the viewing fades to an annoying lightened picture. My question is which 55" TV is best so everyone in the living room can have a great picture? Mixed lighting since it's our main television and we watch it in daylight and at night with just a small light on. We have cable, don't do gaming but enjoy watching movies and I might be doing some streaming if I can ever figure it out, LOL. FYI we used to have a Plasma and could enjoy from most seats in the living room.
Bro I'm coming from the LG UHD 2018 maneeeee my c2 48" omg man mostly ps5 and dled movies on my thumb drive broooo this tv is amazing beyond what UA-cam shows
the c2 has better shadow details in some scenes i noticed on a lot of videos the elephant in the intro, will smith jacket, the table (when he mentioned it)
It's the new panel they are using to combat reflections. I absolutely hate it since I mostly use my TV at dusk.
I'm so mad about the dts audio situation. I think that's a reason to just go for c3, if your an avid Blu-ray watcher then that's basically 30-35% of Blu-ray's having garbage audio quality. And bro you're butchering the names you said c1 once.
It’ll make your audio lcpm 5.1 if you have a sound system if you’re watching movies with dts. Lcpm is uncompressed audio which sounds even better than dts
just bought the C3 on sale for my PS5, cheers to great TVs

To be honest since I got my C1 I havent even considered a new tv and I feel the same for 2023. Now as far as the C2 and C3 and is it worth the upgrade? I don't honestly think so but it's up to the individual. Now if your going to a C2 to the G3? Yes it's worth the upgrade. But the C2 and C3 are very minimal at best. Just my opinion.
C1 is NOT worlds apart from the latest TV's. Even compared to the latest G3 it is not light and day difference
I think a lot of it comes down to adjusting settings which is why I think both TVs should be calibrated by a professional before the comparison
I bought my 77" C1 in April 2023 (build October 2022) and have had it professionally calibrated. I cannot really see the C2 or C3 to be that much of an improvement.
@@anUntouchablethe c2 factory calibration is actually really decent the last time I looked it up if I remember. The CXs factory calibration is crap though
@@anUntouchable Yeah right...The G3 calibrated is WAY!!! better than the C2...That's just a fact.
C3 handles reflection better but the C2 color is lot better. Also the C2 handles darker scenes better. I think C2 is the better TV even if it's a little older & slower. Like the guy said cash is king. 🤷🏽♂️
Why is that that the c3 is worse in terms of color handling and dark scenes than the c2. A new generation should be better? Would you recommend the c2 or c3 finally?
@@mbz4652 My theory is that they want to protect the gallery series. You want the brighter TV you're gonna have to buy the top tier TV. I think they didn’t do that for the C2 & G2 & people opted for the cheaper tv since there wasn't much of a difference. My folks recently bought a cheap 4k 65 inch Walmart Vizio & they love it. I think they paid like 300 hundred bucks for it. So if you're on the oled train go for the gallery. Just keep in mind that you'll have to calibrate it. They don't have a great picture out of the box. Also at the end of the day it's content over resolution. Good luck & don't go into debt for a TV. Cash is king!
@@mbz4652 I went for the 55inch C2 because it was cheaper. I got mine at a Bestbuy Outlet that had nothing but open box/returned items. I got it for $600.00 & that made it worth it for me. I live in a small apartment so 55inch was more than enough for me.
4:20 I think there might be a mistake here, which was is more sharper? C2 or C3 (you mentioned both C3😅)?
He also said c1 at one point lol
Is there any differences between 48" and 55" on C3 like C2 last year? Thank u very much.
I join the question
always worth going a few models before upgrade , thats on anything you buy ..........
C3 has personalised picture wizard and virtual 9.1.2 surround. C2 don't have personalisation and also it has 7.1.2 virtual surround.
AI upscaling of sdr content is better in c3.
I just bought my C2 from Costco for 600+ tax. Never gonna pay early adopter tax!
These LG OLED TVs are so expensive in our country. 42 inch models are priced over $1,100.00
I’d rather wait for them to release a C series with MLA
That will longest waiting ever. ;)
thats a good 3 years away
That’s the G3 😅
kinda sucks they only give the better stuff too higher end 55-65inch id be making decked out smaller displays too 😒
C4 will have mla i think
i need a c3 48 vs c2 48 comperison but this video gived me what i need somehow.
Good luck finding that, most videos focus on the bigger sizes, besides the difference is minimal
C3 is overexposured and underexposured simultaneously :D Bright details look white and dark details look black :D crazy
The price still hasn’t dropped. Better catch it on sale lol
Just got 55’’ C2 for £749
5% first purchase discount
10% referee discount
I’m more than content with this.
The left side of the C3 TV is lighter, while the right side is darker compared to the C2. Could there be a defect in the panel? THX!
When is S95C VS G3 REVIEW
That darks look better on the C2
illl wait for the c3 after i had to return 2 defect samsung high ends in a row, i go with a lg but i wait for a price drop to like 1.299 hope it happens soon just have my 2010 tv now
Hello, need ur help in ur opinion which better lg C3 77inch for 3500$ or lg G2 77INCH for 3800$?
Difference is in the AI in the C3 old movies look amazing!
Have C1 and C2. My C1 is no question better in every way than my C2. I do not like these EVO panels. IMO the C2 is a downgrade from the C1. If you ask me the C1 is the best Oled Lg has made. I would have gotten the B2 if I could go back.
I own both. Can barely tell a difference between the two. You're fine with either one IMO.
I got the C2 use it for the computer and tv so I can get extra value and use compared to just splitting cost to 2 units one for tv or one for computer display.
I probably wait for c4 or c8 honestly before a upgrade becomes tempting with real leaps in technology and features.
My c2 is for me is amazing for the price. I got 500 usd discount in January this year so that worked for me. Now is 1500 usd in stores in my country from reliable outlets.
I’m looking to upgrade my 10 year old Sony to a LG OLED, would like a 65 but the price is a bit steep. Thinking another 55 but can’t decide. Thinking of a G2 at the moment but can get a C2 now for £1149, over a G2 for £1499 and whatever it is for a stand as can’t wall mount it. Or do I get a newer C3 for the same price? Or do I wait until before or after Xmas when there might be a better deal going? But noticing that C2s and G2s are getting harder to get hold of. Decisions decisions 😅
Currently all the deals are gone... I'm hoping boxing day drops it by a few hundred at least.
Thank you
The c4 will have different pixel arrangement… it should on paper be a noticeable difference
Are both good gaming and streaming Netflix and UA-cam,etc??

How is it even possible to see such difference in detail between these 2 TVs, while watching this UA-cam on a cheap 1920 x 1080 pc monitor? Something isn't right.
I would equate LG tv stands to motorcycle seats from Yamaha. They are simply there, because…..utilitarian at best. Almost like the electrics of a 1970’s Fiat. Designed by someone who was just passing by at lunch time. 😵💫
for me C2 have a detail perfect more C3 , point is black in shadow.
I want to use either of the TVs to watch graphs of the stocks I am monitoring. I was more concerned about the sharpness of the texts and the graphs. Would you be able to compare?
Seems like begging for burn in to happen watching static stock charts. Anyway text sharpness is fine, even for productivity. It will probably improve even more once Microsoft updates cleartype for WOLED pixel layouts.
Go with a Led for that, no reason to dish out money for premium TV that should not be exposed to static images, it's throwing money in the Garbage. Rich people are they wjo know how to wisely spend their money around every corner, every penny saved is a penny saved.
well said, sir. I was contemplating if I should return my B3 I bought yesterday and just get a C3. Im not going to...
way too many other variables. Did you adjust the settings first to calibrate? not to mention lighting in your house is obviously on one side due to the glare we saw.
I have the c1 ill keep it until it blows up
what about "Dynamic tone mapping setting"? I think dynamic tone mapping was "off" on C3
This would be my first oled tv. Right now the C3 is only $100 more. i have an atmos soundbar(yes i know its not true atmos). Should i save the $100 and get the C2 or go C3?
