LG Electronics 55"" 4K Qned Smart TV

Product Information

We rate the picture quality, the brightness and vibrancy of colors. We test the features and smart assistants built-in, as well as how the most popular streaming apps, like Netflix, work. We listen to whether the built-in speakers work well out-of-the-box so we can tell you whether it's a good TV for sound or one you'll absolutely need a soundbar for. The first is size. We know it's tempting to always assume bigger is better when it comes to technology. However, the size of the screen you should buy needs to be dictated by the space you have, how far away you'll be sitting from the screen and the kinds of content you'll be watching on it. The LG C3 isn't a cheap TV. But anyone looking for a TV with fantastic picture quality and a full range of features will find the C3 to be a good value, and if the price trajectory of last year’s C2 is any indication, it will cost even less as we approach the holiday season. We've tested hundreds of TVs over the years, so we know what we're looking for and what makes a solid performance and a stellar performance.

Percentage luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 100% white output We also think it's important to provide wider context, even in a guide like this one that's focused on one specific brand. That's why, where possible, we've included details about models with similar specs from other TV makers. That way you'll be able to make the best decision about which TV is right for you. Otherwise, the B2 is a great all-rounder TV, delivering the same deep, detailed shadows, punchy HDR highlights, and excellent image uniformity you can expect from some of the best OLED TVs on the market from any brand – even some of the pricier models. Color rendition is also a B2 series strong point, but during our testing we found that you'll need to spend time making adjustments to get it to look its best. Can’t make head or tail of all those numbers and letters naming those LG TVs? We don’t blame you – the name structure can be confusing, if necessary for differentiating the huge number of old, new, and incoming sets that LG releases to market. It doesn’t help, either, that each TV maker tends to use different identifiers for their sets.

You work at BID, what a legend.

Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white output If you're looking for the best LG TV, there are several key considerations you need to bear in mind.

The LG G3 is priced like a premium flagship TV. Though its price has dropped somewhat since its launch in March 2023, you'll still find alternatives from other brands for considerably less – in our review we offered up the Samsung S95C as a solid rival. Having said that, the picture quality, gaming features and increased brightness compared to normal OLED panels mean you’re getting a lot of TV, even if the price tag is high. In other words, if you can afford it, it's worth it. LG's webOS smart platform lets you access all of your favourite apps, including Freeview Play, NOW, Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Twitch, and more. With Google Assistant and Alexa, you can easily control your TV and your complete smart home with voice commands.Max light output HDR (high dynamic range) while displaying a live scene and white square taking up 60% of the screen (measured in Nits) The second letter differentiates between each year’s new product range. So, while 2019 4K LEDs from LG all have “SM” in them, 2018’s sets had “SK” instead. Design-wise, it's slim, with a fibre construction that makes it more lightweight than its predecessor. The panel is thin and it comes with an aluminum center-mounted stand, which has a good look and provides solid support for the TV

Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme banner refresh rate and Motion Pro A higher refresh rate plus Motion Pro technology means that detail is kept in focus even in fast motion, for a realistic sport viewing experience.The way a TV brand says a TV works and the way it does day to day doesn't always add up. That's why we're dedicated to testing every TV that we recommend, but there's a lot to consider. LG's AI Sound Pro function immerses you in the action and creates a thrilling ambiance in any space. Panel-maker LG Display (distinct from LG Electronics, which assembles and sells LG-branded TVs) has become the poster child for today’s OLED TVs, as a major supplier to its competitors like Panasonic, Sony, or Philips. It's also worth considering sound. If you're willing to spend extra cash on a soundbar, you don't need to agonise about audio. However, if you'd like an all-in-one cinema system, consider a TV that delivers great audio as well as a fantastic picture.For example, the LG C2 in our guide above also makes it into our list of the best TVs for sound.

A feature that will be of interest to US viewers is an ATSC 3.0 tuner, which lets the set receive free, over-the-air TV channels broadcast using the next-gen ATSC 3.0 standard. ATSC 3.0 offers support for 4K resolution video with HDR and Dolby Atmos audio among other features, so it's worth investigating when buying a new TV. At present, only LG's G2-series models provide an ATSC 3.0 tuner, though we expect to see it offered in other lines in the future. Which LG TV is right for you? Importantly, we also live with the TV. By that we mean we don't just watch a few TV shows and call it a day. We test the viewing angles and brightness levels in different rooms at different times of the day. We'll listen to the state-of-the-art sound when we have family chatter to contend with and we'll share our first-hand experiences. Unfortunately, the speakers are weedier than in the more expensive models, and while we could hear dialogue okay we found ourselves wanting more oomphfor action scenes in movies and TV shows.
