LG estimates the cost of delivering LG’s 2023 OLED TVs by 2023. The flagship G3 and flagship C3 (pictured) will arrive in late March and will be available for pre-order from April 6. The C3 e starts at $129 for the lowest 42-inch version and goes up to $5,299 for the larger 83-inch version.
The G3 starts at $2,499 for the 55-inch model and goes up to $649,999 for the 55-inch model. Base B3 will not be ready until April. Pricing starts at $169,955, goes up to $55,000 for the OLED TV, and tops out at $329,000 for the 77-inch model. LG has promised to set a price for the wireless and transparent OLED T M3.
LG’s 2023 OLED TVs
As we mentioned back in January, the G3 is getting its biggest update of the year. The C3 uses the a9 Gen 6 processor, although it’s better than last year’s C2. It might be a better buy than the B3, though, especially in the “better” mid-range.
The $2,499 65-inch C3 is only $100 more than the equivalent B3 with a weaker chipset (a7 Gen 6), so there’s a harder way to determine the additional cost for this category. It’s unclear whether LG’s lineup will fare well compared to the Samsung S95C.
LG’s Gaming-Friendly
Samsung’s display is slightly brighter than LG’s and has a gaming-friendly 144Hz refresh rate. However, only the 77-inch S95C is currently available, while LG offers Dolby Vision HDR compatibility (Samsung still sticks to HDR10+) as well as more size and power. It also packs an A9 Gen 6 processor with better display and sound quality and internal speaker support, comparable to LG’s latest flagship.
The C3 shares the same benefits as the Gen 6 A9 chip, but is slightly improved over last year’s C2. However, it works best for the B3, especially in the middle of the sweet spot. At $2,499, the 65-inch C3 is only $100 more expensive than the B3 with the same lower-end processor (a7 Gen 6), which saves money with the full-size package.
As reported in January, the G3 will get a major update this year. Thanks to the magnifying function, it provides up to 70% clearer images, and the inverted zero-gap design makes it easy to mount on the wall. It is also equipped with the a9 Gen 6 processor with better graphics processing and audio performance and can integrate the built-in speaker sound with LG’s high-end sound system…
LG’s 2023 OLED TVs Arrive
I’m not sure the LG listing is correct for the Samsung S95C. Samsung’s device is slightly slower than LG’s latest device, with a 144Hz refresh rate that’s perfect for gaming. Only current S95C 77in. LG supports Dolby Vision HDR (Samsung still sticks to HDR10+) and offers different sizes and performance levels.
