About
The C-Series remains the default recommendation in OLED: four full HDMI 2.1 ports, a 144Hz panel, perfect blacks and a webOS interface that stays out of the way. It works with Matter, Apple AirPlay, Alexa and Google Assistant, and LG's ThinQ hub features let it act as a control surface for other smart devices. Brightness is up on earlier evo panels, though a Samsung S90 still wins in a very sunny room.
Pros
- +Perfect blacks
- +Four HDMI 2.1 ports
- +Unintrusive webOS
Cons
- −Not the brightest in daylight
