Our Verdict

LG C9 OLED

LG C3 OLED

The LG C3 OLED is a better version of the LG C9 OLED. The C3 is brighter in both SDR and HDR, so it overcomes more glare in a well-lit room while watching SDR content, and highlights in HDR content stand out more. The C3 is also capable of up to 4k @ 120Hz, so it's the better option to pair with modern gaming consoles.
