The best LG TVs of 2023

When it comes to snagging the ultimate television, you've got to go big - or go home. LG's C2 OLED television is the next tech step up you've been looking for. A gorgeous prime example of just how far television technology has come along in the past few years, LG's C2 is decisively one of the fastest screens on the television market, decimating the competition with ease.

With a response time of 0.1ms - gaming with any console feels impeccably precise - far beyond any gaming experience you've likely ever had. With instantaneous, crisp controls that bring FPS shooters or blockbuster AAA titles a new level of polish and satisfaction, LG's C2 is without question one of the best ways to experience gaming this year.

As for its visual performance - LG's C2 is one of the boldest OLED TVs ever made - full of vivid colour (in no small part thanks to its Alpha9 Gen5 processor and brightness booster), especially when compared with its predecessor, the C1. Of course, with OLED televisions, black levels are near absolute perfection - with dark scenes being truly dark, giving nighttime scenes in films, shows and games a particularly eerie atmosphere, especially when contrasted with moments of bright light (The Last of Us looks simply perfect).

What the C2 doesn't do quite so well, however, are contrastingly bright scenes - moments involving lots of snow, or pure white light don't quite compete with the vividness of QLED, which is to be expected with OLED technology right now.

LG's C2 OLED TV is perhaps one of the best OLED televisions ever made - in terms of price and performance, it's just so worth its price, we'd be sorely mistaken not to have it at the top of our list, not only as one of the best gaming televisions ever made - but also one of the best televisions ever - period.

At an absurdly low price, LG's UQ75 4K TV is one of the very best budget televisions available this year. From its impressive HDR10 tech to its AI ThinQ tech that allows for seamless integration between a huge range of Alexa-controlled devices - the UQ75 offers a wonderfully slick all-in-one experience that's unlike any other.

Image quality and sharpness on the UQ75 is strikingly bold for its price - with mid-tone colours particularly shining through, with plenty of detail and vibrancy to tease out visual excitement with every frame. Utilising the beloved HDR10 technology, the UQ75's screen becomes even bolder - helping to deliver that little bit extra contrast from the LED screen.

In terms of its construction - the UQ75 is built solidly - with tastefully thin bezels and a robust body (that's slightly on the thicker side compared to our other options). The UQ75, despite its thicker 8.5cm design, can still easily be wall-mounted or positioned anywhere with its sturdy feet - but a nice wall-mounted aesthetic helps to accentuate those ultra-thin bezels and give the UQ75 a much cleaner and more modern look.

Where the UQ75 falls short somewhat is its limited brightness - giving pure lighter colours a dull appearance on occasion. A benefit of the weaker backlight, however, is some nice dark tones - which look excellent when paired with HDR (and HLG for real-time HDR content).

LG's UQ75 is an excellent budget television and is truly difficult to compete with on value alone - packed with fun, exciting and breathtaking technology, well designed and with solid performance - there's really no competition at its price.

Quite easily one of the most affordable OLED displays ever made - LG's A2 display is bursting at the seams with value, and then some.

Gorgeously designed with precision and elegance that'll shatter your preconceptions on budget televisions entirely, the A2's bezels are almost non-existent - a razor-thin metal trim that is simply beautiful to behold. At its thickest, the A2 is roughly 4.6cm (with the true panel being around 6.5mm, which looks incredibly impressive). For some, the television not sitting perfectly flush against the wall might be discouraging - but it doesn't affect the secureness of the wall mount whatsoever - so there's nothing to worry about.

As for picture quality, the A2 is more than excellent at its price - dark tones and black levels are close to true darkness, with brighter colours searing through with precision and little-to-no bloom, allowing for your favourite films to really shine.

As for its gaming support - LG's A2 is a little less exciting - with a fairly standard 60Hz, which is fairly uncommon amongst modern OLED TVs - and yet if you're not particularly snobbish about getting the very best gaming television refresh rates - you're unlikely to notice.

LG's A2 offers a huge amount of features, gorgeous aesthetics, and value at its price - and should definitely be a top consideration for your home cinema.

The 2021 LG C1 OLED TV is, despite being a couple of years old, one of the most excellent gaming televisions on the gaming market this year. At 55 inches and a competitive price, the C1 is quickly becoming a go-to smart television for gamers across the world.

Galloping through the 120Hz refresh rate threshold, with a response time of 0.2ms (which is as close to instant as you'll ever need), gaming on the C1 is crisper than crisp - it's simply one of the best ways to truly utilise your next-generation console, wherever your gaming allegiances lie.

Circling back to the C1, we've been astounded consistently by LG's beautiful OLED aesthetics - and the C1 is scarcely different. Its ultra-slim metal back oozes a premium quality that is reassuring when mounting a television of its calibre on your lounge wall. Of course, there's always the option to use the C1's (also metal) foot stand, which exudes a similar sophisticated feel, plus without a wall mount, you can truly appreciate just how thin the OLED panel is (at approximately 2.5mm thick) - it has to be seen to be believed.

As for the screen itself, it's no wonder that LG's C1 looks exquisite. A true OLED television - what shines the most about LG's C1 is, quite ironically, its near-infinite contrast ratio. Black levels are nothing short of pitch black on the C1, giving moments of bright light against darkness (in night scenes for example) a searing, genuinely moving awe.

Not everything is quite perfect with LG's C1 however - as it faces several problems that swathes of even the very best OLED televisions face. Lacking a backlight and being entirely self-lit, the C1's average brightness sits around 409 nits - which is a far cry from some of the top-tier QLED TVs of this year, which average about 1,000 nits of average brightness. This leads inevitably to some dullness with brighter tones, which is only unnoticeable when contrasted with the C1's absolute pure black tones.

Overall, LG's C1 is a triumph of OLED technology and sheer value - it's without question one of the best OLED televisions on the market at its price - don't miss out on this marvellous display, gamers.

LG's NanoCell TV is one of the best-priced 75-inch televisions on the market at its size, making it perfect for creating your ideal home cinema at a reasonable price. At a whopping 75 inches, with some excellent viewing angles, the LG NANO76 is absolutely perfect for entertaining the entire family - or a small army, in a single space.

As for its build quality, there isn't quite the same level of polish on the NANO76 as there is on higher-end models such as the C2 (as is to be expected at its price), but the overall aesthetic is still pleasing. Bezels are slim and rounded, becoming practically unnoticeable when immersed in your favourite films. As for its feet - the design of them looks pleasing - clean aesthetics that are minimal and modern - but our fondness for their appearance is slightly put to the wayside when noticing a certain amount of wobble - which can be unnerving when you've spent near £1,000 on a titanic television.

As for its picture - the NANO76 does not disappoint at its price - an incorporation of LG's α5 Gen5 AI processor and the excellent NanoCell technology which squeezes as much colour as possible out of the LED screen. LG's NANO76 is sharp and precise with little motion blurring thanks to some nifty AI post-processing for an extra kick, and it undoubtedly pays off.

The NANO76's major drawbacks lie predominantly with its lacking colour gamut (the breadth of colours a screen can produce), which leaves us feeling a little disappointed. Colours are quite dull on occasion, and are rarely eye-popping, despite the accuracy of the screen.

LG's NANO76 is decisively one of the best low-budget 75-inch televisions of the year, even with some not-so-great features - budget, size and some impressive visuals, it's still worth it.
