42-inch or 55-inch models available; 4K 120Hz with G-Sync and FreeSync.
The LG C3’s 55-inch OLED panel compares favourably to more traditional panel technologies, with perfect contrast, near-instant pixel response times, wide viewing angles, gorgeous colour reproduction and impactful HDR. TN, IPS and VA alternatives feel almost antiquated by comparison.
OLED does have some drawbacks too, such as a non-traditional subpixel layout that isn’t well-handled by Windows at the moment. If you’re using this for sofa gaming though, you won’t notice any issues. Similarly, OLEDs can experience permanent image retention (burn-in), though there are plenty of countermeasures designed to prevent this. Most of my team at Digital Foundry use an LG OLED as their desktop monitor - admittedly the smaller 42-inch or 48-inch models - and so far, none have experienced any burn-in after many years of use so I wouldn’t be particularly worried about this.
LG’s C-series OLEDs have remained our top gaming TV recommendations for years, so if you’re considering a new TV for PC or console gaming, plus the normal TV and film watching, this is an awesome choice at a great price.
