If you place a higher value on exceptional picture quality and are willing to pay a premium, the LG C3 OLED is an excellent choice. It excels in both dark and bright rooms and is outstanding for watching movies and gaming. However, keep in mind that OLED screens can be susceptible to burn-in if static images are displayed for extended periods. On the other hand, the LG QNED90 is an LCD TV that costs less and still offers good performance, especially in bright rooms, and it's better suited for news and reality TV. While it also provides a commendable gaming experience, its overall picture quality and dark room performance aren't at the same high level as the C3 OLED. Give Feedback

"When it comes to HDR brightness it has very bright highlights and impressive HDR. In terms of design the QNED90 looks beautiful. The TV did great with fast response times, excellent reactions and instant rendering of all our commands. If you look for a good performing premium 4K TV the QNED90 ticks all the boxes."
