The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The TV has gaming-specific features like 144Hz refresh rate, 0.1ms response time, and four HDMI 2.1 ports, plus both NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync support, so it handles modern consoles and PC gaming without compromise.
- OLED means each pixel makes its own light, so blacks are truly black and colors are vivid, but this also means the TV is thinner and lighter than comparable LCD models at 22.3 pounds.
- It comes with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos built in, plus a Filmmaker Mode that shows movies as directors intended, making it useful for both casual viewing and more serious film watching.
As of Aug 20, the LG 42-Inch Class OLED evo AI Super Upscaling 4K C5 is overpriced at $990.99 — versus a $930.14 typical price and a $739.98 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
