The release of LG’s brand new C4 OLED has seen prices drop on the previous generation model, although I perhaps didn’t expect them to go this low. At the moment, you can buy the 42-inch C3 direct from LG for £624, which represents a huge saving as a result of some clever discount code stacking and, strangely, due to the upcoming Euro 2024 football tournament. Allow me to explain.
The way it works is that the TV’s normal list price is £832 from LG Direct at the moment. The first tier of discounts on offer here is 10 per cent off through LG’s football promo, which brings the price down to £83.20. Then, if you sign up as an LG member, you get 5 per cent off your first order. That’s two discounts. Combine this with the 10 per cent refer-a-friend discount, which works when you use another email address you have access to as a ‘friend’, and it emails you a link that takes you to a valid discount code. Add those discounts into the box at checkout, and select them with the football discount automatically applied, and your basket should look like this:
As for the actual telly, it’s finally OLED, which means we’re getting the signature deep, inky blacks with fantastic detail and incredible contrast. Plus, there’s a handy complement of HDR support with Dolby Vision, HLG and HDR10, as well as a 4K resolution for superb visual fidelity. The gamers in the crowd will be happy to know that this C3 comes with four HDMI 2.1 ports that are capable of delivering 4K/120Hz output. This is particularly useful for those with current generation games consoles, or if you have a living room PC and want to play games on the big screen. There’s also a full selection of VRR support with HDMI Forum VRR, as well as both AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync for PC users to ensure a stutter-free gaming experience.
Having the C3 means we’re getting minor improvements and refinements compared to the C2 series, but these improvements are also useful for improving quality of life. For example, there’s a new processor, the Alpha 9 Gen 6, which offers a faster user experience, combined with an updated form of the webOS operating system for slick and easy navigation. In addition, there’s also a new Object Enhancer, which enhances foreground characters and props in scenes, and a new feature called AI Super Upscaling Pro. This upscales sub-4K footage while reducing any noise to make it sharper, which is a nice touch. The C3 also has a new feature called Quick Media Switching VRR, which prevents the momentary black screen you get when switching inputs. These are all small features, but useful.
If you want to get your hands on one of these Best Gaming TV Available at a pretty huge discount, look no further than this incredible deal on the 42-inch LG C3 OLED from LG.
