OLEDs have the advantage of individually lighting up each pixel while other technologies light up entire sections of those millions of pixels we see in modern TVs (4K has 3840 by 2160 so 8.3 million pixels). This means when we see images such as a human face in an OLED we see the slow change in color such as the color of their skin, small shadows, wrinkles, and everything. Top OLEDs (e.g. OLEDs made by LG and Sony) look almost 3D in nature due to the sheer accuracy of each of those millions of pixels. Also, unlike other technologies, which use backlighting in sections this also means you have perfect contrast and perfect blacks since black pixels will genuinely not light up for that scene. In other technologies such as LEDs backlighted sections means that many pixels will be gray rather than black on a night scene since some backlighting will remain on to illuminate a bunch of nearby pixels. Another example of this is with subtitles. An OLEDs subtitles will look perfectly white and crystal clear since nearby pixels will be noticeably darker. Many other technologies don't have crystal clear subtitles since the nearby pixels are partially glowing as well and the contrasting between the text and the background isn't nearly as good.
Top OLEDs also are extremely reliable. I read a lot of negative feedback when I compare products and the one issue OLEDs had a long time ago was burn in, but this issue is almost nonexistent now. Other technologies do genuinely have a lot of issues though such as backlight bleeding and even some more serious issues (e.g. complete breakdowns).
OLEDs are nearly perfect. Their one area that they are beat by other technologies is they can only get so bright since each of their 8.3 million pixels (in the case of 4K screens which are very common) can't light up as brightly as some other high rated competitors. Modern OLEDs are much brighter than they used to be though so they get plenty bright in most cases. The only exception, in my opinion, is if you're competing against direct sunlight from a nearby window. Other technologies (e.g. Mini-LED and QLED) are better at competing against direct sunlight glare since other technologies can get extremely bright. LG and other companies that make OLED options are aware of this brightness limitation so keep in mind that the C3 (2023 C series) gets noticeably brighter than the A3 (2023 A series) and 2023 C series has dramatically improved from 2020 C series (they've made so much progress brightness is actually now quite good!). Later letters in LG OLEDs means more advanced technology. Personally the slight advantage the G series has over the C series doesn't seem worth the higher price so I think the C series is the sweet perfect spot for many users though many users would still be extremely happy even with the A series or B series. One other tiny disadvantage with OLEDs is scenes with a LOT of white (e.g. LOTS of snow) might look awkward since each pixel only gets so bright and OLEDs therefore cannot do perfect whites. These scenes with lots of white are incredibly rare though. Instead OLEDs do perfect blacks such as the perfect contrast you'll see in all those night scenes, but this perfect contrast and 3D appearance is noticeably beneficial in other scenes too.
Hmm seems like it's sold by a third party with some mixed reviews. Some have said they sell refurbished TVs. Maybe be a little wary with purchasing. The extended protection helps though
OLED and Mini-LED are the best technologies around right now. LG OLEDS are great, Samsung MiniLED and OLEDs are great, the Sony x90L and up (including all OLEDs) are great too. Hisense and TCL miniLEDs are great for the price as well. Stay away from anything else

never buying LG again. Bought a 77inch G3. The thing pops and cracks twice a minute. Loud. Two LG repair techs later and they say that we put it in our manual that cracking is normal. The TV is beautiful but try to enjoy it with pops and cracks all night. Worst $3500 i've ever spent. Wish I would have bought it from Costco.
I've had several LG's…… all have been amazing and one OLED going strong the last 8 years
This size is nice as a large monitor. I have a C1 and swapped the stand for a low profile one that can rotate.
can you link to stand you got? i am thinking of this or the 42" C3 (as monitor) and would like a rotating stand so I can rotate 180 to watch TV from bed across from desk
i pulled the trigger, had a walmart giftcard that helped. I'm a little confused by the photo, the TV stand indicates of 42 inch, when I look up 48 inch it has a sturdier stand.

yeah it does look like the 42" stand, i am tempted to order but i dont want to hassle with returning if its used or the wrong size.

i pulled the trigger, it says 48 inch...but the photo doesn't make me feel good.. what further concerns me i go on the beach camera 3rd party website and they are advertising the 42 inch for this same price that walmart has posted. I chatted online with walmart and they assured me it's a 48 inch, they did give me the 800 number for me to call beach camera. i'm already having anxiety over this bs lol. my biggest concern is they send me a 42 inch yet advertised the 48 inch. trying to be proactive and document all this bs. will keep everyone updated.

Dang I wish Costco can do the price match. I use my Aorus FO48U (essentially C1 panel) as my daily monitor. It was suffered from burn-in at certain spots after 2 years of using. Does anybody know if C3 still having this issue?

Fed ex delivered two c3 48 in new in the box today. My only issue is with Walmart site. They over charged on the sales tax . Walmart csr acknowledged the over charge. Made a note on my transaction/incident but claimed I needed to contact them after the tvs were delivered to get my credit.
