Excellent gaming performance ; Impressive motion and upscaling ; Lightweight design ; Nips and tucks to webOS work well ; WOW Orchestra support with LG soundbars

Picture not as vibrant as similarly priced QD-OLEDs ; Sound system is still fairly tame ; Picture exhibits some odd green tones ; More expensive

Another year, another C-series OLED from LG. There are a few gains in picture quality and smarts, though similarly priced (QD-OLED) competition does offer a more vivid colour performance. The tame sound system could also use beefing up, but add a...

Crisp, contrasty yet balanced picture ; Superb gaming specs ; Very user-friendly

Dull sound ; Only slightly better than the C2

It’s not much of a step forward but it didn’t need to be – the C3 is the best 48-inch TV you can buy

Refined picture quality testament to OLED and LG's expertise ; Great for gaming (4x HDMI 2.1 ports)

Not very different to previous C2 OLED (and pricier) ; Doesn't sound spectacular

The LG C3 OLED is excellent, but by being trapped between the walls of global inflation and LG's considerable own success with the previous (and far cheaper) C2 OLED model, it's going to be an even better TV consideration when the price comes into...

Sharp, solid and detailed without exaggeration ; Amazing contrast ; Exceptional gaming specs

Minor upgrade on C2 ; Weak sound ; Slight lack of shadow detail

A lack of significant upgrades means last year’s C2 is the small OLED to buy while it’s still available, but once it’s gone, the C3 will be the best TV at this size

Balanced, authentic picture quality ; Flawless gaming spec ; Very user-friendly

Only a minor upgrade on the C2 ; More expensive than the C2 ; Sony rival offers punchier pictures and sound

The C3 is very similar to the C2 it replaces. That makes it a very good TV, but you can currently buy better for very similar money

Great overall picture quality ; Improved smart TV interface ; Extensive gaming features

Average built-in audio performance ; No ATSC 3.0 broadcast TV support ; Priced the same as last year’s C2 series

LG’s C2 series was our top TV pick of the year for 2022, so the new C3 series has a tough act to follow. But it arrives with new HDR-improving picture processing, a pleasing look, a smart TV interface overhaul, and a wealth of features that will appeal...

Refined, detailed picture performance ; Fantastic upscaling ; Great gaming features ; Good smart TV interface

Lacks some punch - particularly in bright rooms ; Poor built-in sound

The LG C3 is a superb OLED TV that delivers pictures that are as cinematic, detailed and refined as ever. However, with only small improvements from the now heavily discounted C2 and its competition getting stronger, there are more questions to ask of...

Brilliant all-around picture quality ; Great for gaming ; Upgraded webOS interface

Sound is underwhelming ; Not particularly affordable ; Feels wobbly during installation

Add the C3 to the long list of brilliantly accomplished OLED TVs LG has delivered over the last decade

Excellent SDR and 4K HDR ; Pre-calibrated picture modes ; HDMI 2.1 ports & QMS ; Gaming performance ; DTS audio support

Fullscreen webOS 23 still not great ; webOS not receiving updates ; Raised blacks / flicker in VRR ; Remote control
