65in OLED TV | £2699 | whf.cm/LG_C3

There was a time, not that long ago, when LG’s C-series and G-series models differed only in appearance and speaker systems. That changed in 2021 when that year’s G1 got a brighter panel than its C1 sibling. That brighter panel was added to the C-series with last year’s C2, but the G2 got a new heatsink, essentially preserving the performance gap between the two ranges.

For 2023, though, that performance gap has grown bigger than ever before, because while the new G3 boasts brand-new MLA technology, which takes OLED to significantly brighter heights, the C3 is strikingly similar to the C2 it replaces.

Still, last year’s C2 was a multi Award-winner and more of the same doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Even the increase in price over last year’s model wouldn’t in isolation be a big problem for the C3.
