Why it’s worth considering the LG C3 over the LG C2
Obviously, the biggest reason to buy the LG C3 42-inch model over its C2 predecessor is the price right now. However, it’s worth touching on some of the technical improvements the C3 made over the C2 – as it really highlights just how good this TV deal is.
Overall, there aren’t a load of upgrades to be found when comparing the LG C3 vs C2. However, there is one decent upgrade – and it’s one that affects user experience a lot.
The biggest upgrade the LG C3 saw was better picture quality and a slightly higher peak brightness – something that affected the C2 in numerous reviewer tests. When the C2 launched, it was slated for offering an underwhelming brightness – something the C3 tried to rectify.
The brand fitted the C3 with a new Alpha 9 Gen 6 processor and tweaked the max brightness, combining nicely for much better overall picture quality.
