Black Friday Deal: 42" LG Evo C3 4K OLED Gaming TV for $896.97
The 42" is LG's smallest OLED TV. It performs just as well as its larger sized siblings as a gaming TV, but where it really shines is as a gaming monitor for your PC. The 42" size fits gaming desks better than the 48", especially since most of us sit only a few feet away from our monitor. It has HDMI 2.1 ports and supports 4K @ 120Hz with VRR when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 40 series equipped PC. It also supports 4:4:4 chroma sampling for clear, sharp text as well as sub-1ms response time and G-SYNC compatibility
The LG Evo C3 4K OLED TV is the successor to the extremely popular and highly rated LG Evo C2. In terms of image quality, the two are largely identical with the new Evo C3 being a bit brighter. The new Evo C3, however, does have support for DTS audio, which is good for people who watch Blu-ray discs. Like the C2, the LG Evo C3 uses a composite fiber for its rear cabinet housing that drops the weight to 21.6 pounds without the stand. The LG C1 weighed 33 pounds.
If money isn't an object, OLED TVs are considered the best TVs you can buy right now. Of all the OLED TV manufacturers, the LG is considered by many to be the best. LG OLED TVs benefit from several generations of optimizations. The first LG OLED TV (a 55" model) was released back in 2010, well before other manufacturers introduced their own consumer-ready TVs to the market. Fast forward over a decade later, and OLED TVs still can't be beat. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, they offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and super fast response times. Because of these advantages, OLED TVs are the best at displaying HDR content.
