Brand: LG

Verdict:

LG C5 is a very successful continuation and, in some aspects, even a step forward compared to last year's model C4. The biggest change is the significantly higher brightness – for the first time in the history of the C series, the barrier of 1000 nits has been exceeded, which greatly improves the quality of the HDR effect. Both films and series look more dynamic as a result, and bright scenes fina...

Sharp GR8 is a television primarily designed for those who expect the smoothest possible image.
