The LG C1 is an upper midrange TV that is often significantly less expensive than the LG G3. It offers excellent gaming performance, is great for watching sports, and performs well in a dark room. However, it doesn't get as bright, which could make it less ideal for very sunny rooms. The LG G3, on the other hand, is a high-end model that costs more but offers better overall picture quality, including better performance in bright rooms. It also has better sound quality with great speakers built in, helpful if you don't want to invest in a separate sound system. If you're looking for top-tier quality and have the budget, the G3 could be well worth the investment. If price is a significant consideration or if you prioritize gaming, the C1 remains a strong contender with excellent overall performance. Give Feedback
