”LG's mid-tier OLED is the best you'll find at this size.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2023 award-winner.
The LG OLED that’s perfect for smaller rooms and desktops
For many years OLED was only available as a 55 inch screen or above. With the recent advent of 42 inch OLED panels, the LG OLED42C34LA brings the brilliance of OLED to smaller spaces. Ideal for use in smaller rooms and secondary rooms, such as bedrooms and the home office, this LG 42 inch TV also makes the perfect desktop TV/monitor combo. Pair with your games console for responsive gaming and all the Smart TV benefits that a monitor can’t deliver.
OLED, enhanced by evo
LG’s OLED evo panel takes an already ‘gold standard’ in TV technology and makes it better. OLED uses self-illuminating pixels for superb contrast and picture realism. Evo technology enhances this with an additional luminous element that makes the picture brighter and the colour more vivid. Put simply, for a combination of natural, lifelike images and vivid detail OLED evo is the one to beat.
New Alpha 9 Gen 6 processor with Alpha Reality
LG’s sixth generation Alpha 9 processor now features Alpha Reality for the most optimised picture yet. Alpha Reality includes AI Super Upscaling Pro – delivering the best possible picture from sub-4K sources, maximising the screen’s potential. OLED Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro uses four times the zone mapping (now 20,000 zones) for enhanced HDR contrast. Object Enhancer and HDR Expression Enhancer optimise specific picture elements for enhanced sharpness.
The beauty of HDR detail – including Dolby Vision
With wide-ranging HDR compatibility, the LG OLED42C34LA maximises media content, giving you the very best levels of detail. Compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, this LG TV finds detail, even within the darkest areas of the screen, giving you a clearer insight into movies and a gaming advantage with your console.
See the picture exactly as originally intended, with Filmmaker Mode
If you’re mad about movies, you’ll love Filmmaker Mode. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and Hollywood studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.
Sound enhancements – made even better with a matching LG soundbar
It’s not just the picture that benefits from LG’s latest processor, the sound does, too. Virtual sound channel up-mixing increases from 7.1.2 to 9.1.2, giving an even more immersive sound. Pair with an LG soundbar and the sophisticated processing splits the total sound output between TV and soundbar, for a richer, more enveloping sound.
Enjoy ultimate gaming
More than just a winner with movies, this LG is the gamers’ choice, too. LG’s Game Optimiser utilises an enhanced gaming menu, giving you quick access to important settings. A selection of game genre presets, including one for sports games for example, tailor the image to suit the game type. Equipped with 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 sockets, it’s designed to get the very best from today’s, and future, games consoles. QMS (Quick Media Switching), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) mean that your TV automatically adjusts to the optimised settings for gaming – giving you a smoother and faster response.
Smart TV made simpler, with webOS 23
Widely regarded as one of the best smart TV platforms, LG’s webOS system continues to be the system to beat. The latest webOS 23 is easier to use with new Quick Cards folders. These group related content together, making it easier to find the app or source you’re looking for. Recommendations and favourite apps feature on the home screen and are now bespoke to individual users for a more personal interface.
The hub of your home entertainment – with voice control
Featuring LG’s ThinQ AI technology, you can control a Home IoT ecosystem with natural voice recognition. With both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa built-in, it makes it even easier to control your LG OLED TV and quickly access the entertainment you’re looking for.
Introduce OLED evo to smaller spaces and see the difference, with the LG OLED42C34LA.

Great all rounder
Bought a couple of weeks ago to replace a Sony A8H after moving.
Overall, it’s great, better all rounder than the Sony I think l. Definitely brighter, slightly cleaner picture especially when it comes to graduation and content smoothing.
It possibly a less natural picture out of the box, but undoubtedly a great picture, web os is okay, I’m not a big fan of the remote, but the os is snappy enough. ( the Sony was annoyingly laggy at times)
The sound is fine, the Sony’s sound was significantly better, but that was expected and I don’t use the TV speakers anyway.
I’d definitely recommend it overall, especially at its lower price point since the C4 came out.
