Roku Pro Series 55-Inch 4K TV vs LG C2 42-Inch OLED TV

The LG C2 is the better picture for a dark room and the better gaming display: self-lit OLED pixels give true blacks, near-instant response and four HDMI 2.1 ports with G-Sync, FreeSync and VRR. The Roku Pro Series is the better fit for a bright living room and for people who want Roku's interface built in, since its Mini-LED backlight pushes far more brightness than the 42-inch C2, which LG itself notes is dimmer than its larger OLED evo models. The C2 is a 42-inch set, so it suits a desk, bedroom or small room; the Roku is a 55-inch set for a main room. Owners rate the C2 highly for picture and gaming, while Roku buyers value the simple OS and voice remote.

• Choose the Roku Pro Series if you want a larger 55-inch screen for a bright room and prefer Roku's simple interface and voice remote over the deepest blacks.
• Choose the LG C2 if you want perfect blacks, wide viewing angles and top-tier gaming features, and 42 inches fits your space.
