What Hi-Fi|July 2020
The LG OLED55C9PLA is a smaller version of a fantastic LG C-Class OLED television that we’ve previously reviewed.

But TV size can be tricky. While there’s little difference in quality and flavour between a 1kg bar of chocolate and a 200g bar from the same brand, except more chocolate, just because the bigger 65in LG OLED65C9PLA has a five-star rating, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the smaller version will deliver too. It should be the same, and often is, but that’s not always the case. So, can you spend ₨1lakh less, for 10 fewer inches of screen size and still get a decent picture?

The LG OLED55C9PLA is a great looking TV with a bezel that’s only a few millimetres thick. Around half the height of the television is just razor-thin panel. The lower section, which contains the 40W speaker array and the brains of the set, is slightly bulkier, broadening to around 4.7cm in profile before it meets the attractive brushed metal stand.

The gesture remote is standard LG fare – effective, weighty and with handy shortcuts to both Netflix and Prime Video. Around the back of the set, you’ll find the ports, including four HDMIs, three USBs and an optical audio output.

Once it’s powered up, we find the TV replete with LG’s trusty webOS. It’s not our favourite TV system, but it’s still up there with the best. The gesture control is handy and the interface is well laid out, clear and furnished with almost all of the most important apps, including Amazon Video, Netflix, Now TV, Rakuten, Google Play Movies – many of which have 4K and HDR support. The only major absence is the excellent Apple TV app, which is now available on Samsung TVs and a few video streamers.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3

On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
