Key Features
The LG OLED42C34LA 42" OLED 4K HDR Smart TV is an ideal choice for those wanting the brilliance of OLED in smaller spaces. With OLED technology recently becoming available in sizes below 55-inches, you can now bring elite image quality into the smaller, secondary rooms of your home. LG's OLED evo panel uses self-illuminating pixels for unparalleled contrast and naturalism. This is assisted by the Alpha 9 Gen6 processor which uses AI to adjust brightness according to surrounding lighting conditions. This new intelligent processor's Alpha Reality capabilities also upscales sub-4k content so you can enjoy lifelike imaging and more accurate detail no matter what you're watching.
As well as enhancing image quality, the sixth generation Alpha 9 processor now creates a virtual 9.1.2 surround sound ambiance — an improvement on the previous generation's 7.1.2 capability. This is not only ideal for movies and TV, but gaming too. Gamers will also benefit from a thoroughly comprehensive set of features including HDMI 2.1 inputs with Dolby Vision support and 4K at 120Hz. With VRR, ALLM, and access to the GeForce Now Cloud Library, you can find games in an instant and play with smooth, lag-free motion. An OLED42C34LA TV will simplify and amplify your viewing experience with new smart features and improved user experience.

AI Super Upscaling also automatically adjusts picture settings based on the content you’re watching, with smart recognition of faces and objects for controlled definition. Step into a totally optimised viewing experience.
The LG OLED42C34LA 42" Smart TV offers an incredibly immersive experience. The self-lighting pixels of the OLED panel achieve deep blacks and vibrant colours, allowing you to get lost in your favourite films and games. Each pixel is capable of self-brightening and dimming for an astonishing level of accuracy. With HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision IQ, the picture quality appears textured and lifelike; movies, TV shows, or whatever you choose to watch will appear just as the director intended. AI Brightness Control also optimises the picture according to the ambient light in the room, ensuring ideal viewing no matter the conditions.
When it comes to gaming, the LG OLED42C34LA 42" OLED 4K HDR Smart TV is packed with all the features and capabilities you could ask for. With four HDMI 2.1 ports all supporting 4K/120Hz, you can easily connect multiple next-gen gaming consoles for a lag-free playing experience no matter which you play. You'll be able to take advantage of the ultra-low latency, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for smooth and responsive gameplay. With Dolby Vision gaming supported, see more, heighten immersion, and reach peak gaming performance.
The new α9 Gen6 chip adds up-mixing of all sound formats, including 2.0 channel, to virtual 9.1.2, an improvement on the previous model’s 7.1.2 capabilities. Moreover, a new Auto Balance Control feature helps prevent certain frequencies from being overwhelmed for a more nuanced listening experience. The OLED42C34LA is recommended for use alongside the LG USC9S soundbar (sold separately). This soundbar is designed specifically for the LG OLED C3, with a supplied bracket for securing it seamlessly to your TV – even whilst wall mounted!
In the new C3 models, LG has streamlined its webOS interface by organising related features into 'Quick Cards' folders, which reduces the time spent scrolling through the home screen by compiling entertainment tailored to you. The compact home screen now comprises two pages showcasing recommendations and commonly used apps, making navigation more efficient than ever. Moreover, the addition of individual user profiles enables personalised recommendations, notifications, and customisation options for different users.
The LG OLED42C34LA 42" OLED 4K HDR Smart TV has been designed to look good in any room with its virtually invisible bezels and slim profile. It may look minimal, but don't be deceived; it certainly packs a punch with immense processing power and smart features in a 42-inch unit. With multiple sizes available, ranging from 42 to 83 inches, you can find the perfect fit for your watching habits. As part of the LG OLED C3 range, the OLED42C34LA enables an incredible viewing experience in any space; no matter how small or large it may be.
