LG C1 OLED TV (2021) vs LG C3 Series OLED evo 4K TV
The C3 is the better buy for most people. Its OLED evo panel is noticeably brighter than the C1's, so HDR highlights and daytime rooms look stronger, and it adds four full HDMI 2.1 ports at 4K/120 Hz plus newer webOS and a 2023 processor. The C1 is still a fine OLED with perfect blacks, Dolby Vision and 120 Hz gaming, but it is older and dimmer. Reviewers and owners rate both highly for picture and gaming; the C3 wins on brightness, ports and longevity of support.
- Choose the LG C1 if you want a proven OLED for a dark room and gaming, and you find the C3's extra brightness and newer features not worth the step up.
- Choose the LG C3 if you watch in a bright room, want the brightest OLED picture LG made in this class, and want four full HDMI 2.1 ports and longer software support.
