I'm looking for detailed information on the HDMI capabilities of the LG 55" C3 TV. Can anyone provide a comprehensive breakdown, including refresh rate and support for VRR and eARC? Also, any recommendations for suitable HDMI cables would be appreciated.
HDMI Specs for LG 55" C3 TV?

Sure! The LG 55" C3 TV supports two HDMI 2.1 ports and two HDMI 2.0 ports. Its native refresh rate is 120 Hz, which makes it great for smooth motion during fast-paced content like sports or gaming. As for VRR support, the TV also supports that feature.
The article HDMI Capabilities of the LG 55" C3 TV provides detailed information about the LG 55" C3's HDMI capabilities, including its supported features and recommended cables. It also explains what HDMI 2.1 is, how it compares to HDMI 2.0, and which features make it more suitable for high-resolution content.
Thanks, @andrewsal01! I appreciate the link to that article. Based on your information and the article, it sounds like the LG 55" C3 TV would be a great choice for my gaming setup. Any recommendations on which HDMI cable to go with?
@IsaacWesleyPage, here are two recommended HDMI cables from our previous testing: The Anker 8K HDMI 2.1 Cable (6.6 ft) and the Monoprice 8K 48Gbps Certified Braided Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable. Both of these cables should work well with your LG 55" C3 TV.
I've been using the Monoprice cable for a few months now, and I'm very happy with its performance. The build quality is great, and it provides a reliable connection to my gaming console and PC.
@GameBoyAde and @suratmommy, thank you both for your recommendations. I'll consider these options. By the way, does anyone know if there are any potential downsides or issues that could arise from using HDMI 2.1 when compared to HDMI 2.0? Are there any compatibility concerns?
Using an HDMI 2.1 cable with a device that only supports HDMI 2.0 can sometimes limit the performance of the HDMI 2.1 features, but it won't cause any damage or problems with your TV or other devices. The cable will just default to the lower HDMI version supported by the connected device.
@IsaacWesleyPage, you're welcome! Just to add to what @SikhMagnet said, it's essential to make sure that both your TV and your gaming console support HDMI 2.1 for optimal performance. If either of them only supports HDMI 2.0, the cable will work fine but won't be able to utilize HDMI 2.1 features.
@andrewsal01, thanks for the clarification. I'll double-check my TV and gaming console's compatibility before purchasing an HDMI 2.1 cable. That's really helpful information!
