Overview
The LG C3 OLED 65" represents one of the best options in the tvs category this year. Our team spent several weeks with this product, testing it across a range of real-world scenarios to give you an honest assessment of where it excels and where it falls short.
Out of the box, the build quality is immediately apparent. The perfect blacks with self-lit oled pixels is consistently impressive throughout our test period, and the 4 hdmi 2.1 ports — best for gaming held up to our expectations in extended use. This is a product that delivers on its key promises.
Performance
Performance testing confirmed the spec sheet claims. The perfect blacks with self-lit oled pixels proved consistent under sustained workloads, and we measured results that aligned with — or in some cases exceeded — the manufacturer's claims. The excellent viewing angles for group watching was a standout quality we did not expect to be as strong as it turned out to be.
Where the LG C3 OLED 65" struggles is also worth being direct about: burn-in risk with prolonged static content. This will matter to some users more than others. If this specific limitation is critical to your use case, the next product in our best tvs list may be a better fit.
Value
At $1599, the LG C3 OLED 65" sits in a competitive part of the market. Our score of 9.6/10 reflects a product that delivers genuine value for most buyers. The combination of perfect blacks with self-lit oled pixels and 4 hdmi 2.1 ports — best for gaming justifies the price point for anyone prioritizing best overall oled.
Our recommendation: Buy if best overall oled is a priority. Look elsewhere if burn-in risk with prolonged static content would be a consistent frustration for you.
Verdict
The TV all others are judged against. Perfect blacks, infinite contrast, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, and OLED gaming performance at a price that finally makes sense for most buyers.
