Our take on the LG C5 evo 42-inch

The LG C5 evo is a 42-inch OLED TV with the Alpha 9 AI Processor Gen8, offering perfect blacks, wide viewing angles, and bright-room performance. It suits gamers and movie lovers who want top picture quality in a smaller size. Compared with rivals like the Samsung S90D, it has four HDMI 2.1 ports and Dolby Vision, but its peak brightness is lower than QD-OLEDs. Reviewers praise its contrast and gaming features, though some note the 42-inch size limits immersion.
