What reviewers say
Both reviewers praise the bright, richly coloured HDR picture, improved processing and comprehensive gaming support. They question the premium over the C2, particularly when a stand is needed. They disagree on sound: What Hi-Fi? finds a useful improvement over earlier LG OLEDs, while Trusted Reviews calls it merely competent and recommends a soundbar.
