French Days – LG 55C3 TV “5 stars” for 1133.99 euros (-12%)

The LG 55C2 and CS were successful in 2022, and their successor, the LG 55C3 – a 55-inch (140cm) version of the LG 65C3 we tested – shouldn’t disappoint. However, few changes are noticeable other than the higher brightness peak and the new WebOS interface.

LG has been pushing its C line aggressively for several years, and the LG 55C3 – the 55-inch (140cm) version of the LG 65C3 we tested – continues to be an excellent benchmark. Of course, the improvements are meager compared to the C2, but we appreciate the increase in the maximum brightness of the panel. The TV’s versatility allows you to always enjoy movies at home and games with virtually no compromise: the best technology is reserved for the LG G3, the manufacturer’s most expensive model.

Note.

Alternatively

The Samsung TQ55S95C is an excellent TV, perfectly calibrated for SDR and HDR. QD-Oled technology is improved and provides maximum brightness that rivals the best Mini-Led and Oled TVs. This results in even more realistic HDR images. The S95C stands out for its ultra-thin, flat design and remote mount connectors that make wall mounting easy. It has already established itself as a benchmark in the market and is suitable for both movie lovers and video game lovers.
