Our Verdict

LG C5 42 OLED

LG C6 48 OLED

The LG C6 48 OLED is newer than the LG C5 42 OLED. The C6 is a big upgrade because it uses a newer Tandem OLED panel that gets brighter, so it's better at fighting glare, and it makes highlights pop more, and it displays more vivid colors. The C6 also has fewer dithering issues that plagued the C5, and the C6 has a slightly higher refresh rate. Besides that, they're similar displays with the same features.
