LG C5 Series OLED evo TV vs LG C6 Series OLED TV

The C6 is the better buy for most people. It has the faster 165Hz panel, a newer processor, and a much larger and stronger owner record (4.8 from 2,339 ratings versus 4.4 from 46). Both are 42-inch OLED evo sets with perfect black, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, four HDMI 2.1 ports and 0.1ms response, so the C5 is still a fine movie and gaming TV. The C5's weak points are its cluttered webOS menus, remote failures and reports of dead lines and blocky near-black scenes; the C6 addresses the panel speed and processing but shares the same webOS complaints.

• Choose the LG C5 if you want a proven 42-inch OLED for movies and console gaming and the C6's extra refresh headroom does not matter to you.
• Choose the LG C6 if you want the fastest 42-inch OLED LG makes, with 165Hz, a newer Alpha processor and a far stronger owner track record.
