  • The LG C4 OLED Evo TV is the sweet spot in the 2024 line-up offering excellent all-round performance for movies, TV shows, Smart TV and Gaming! We give you our video review.
    Read the full in-depth review - www.avforums.com/reviews/lg-c...
    The C-series is the most important part of the OLED TV line-up for LG as it is the sweet spot for price, features and performance with an excellent all-round appeal. With its Alpha9 AI Processor 4K Gen 7 chip and the latest OLED EX panel with Brightness Booster, we do see a step up in overall image performance, with brighter full screen and specular highlight details and colours that look natural, accurate and rich with lifelike skin tones. As you would expect, the Filmmaker Mode is incredibly accurate out of the box to the industry standards so you can see films and TV shows as they were mastered and intended to be seen.
    Gaming is also a strong point with 4K/144Hz, 4K/120Hz with Dolby Vision, NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium, and VRR as well as the Game Optimizer and dashboard. Input lag is also superb with 4K/60 measured at 9.2ms and 120Hz at 4.7ms, so a place on our Best Gaming TVs is a possibility.
    Overall, with a cinematic sheen to film content, very good HDR peak brightness and tone mapping capabilities, mixed with superb gaming features and a strong WebOS 24 line-up of features and apps, the C4 offers the best of what LG has to offer at the mid-range point. It gets a Highly Recommended.

      Totally agree!!! The 65" and 77" G3 TVs are the same price as the 65" and 77" C4 TVs. The G3 TVs are a LOT better than the C4 TVs. Makes NO sense to get the C4!!

      This is the usual cycle of TV prices. You pay a very high “tax” for the latest and greatest and getting last years model will always get you much more bang for your buck, regardless of brand.

    Incredible review! Totally agree about the remote which is also so confusing to use in the dark. However, I use the Apple TV 4K remote with the TV and that is the most beautiful remote that I've ever had the pleasure to use :)

    Another awesome review Phil. Looks a decent tv, but unfortunately I’m still in the market for the G4. Still waiting for it to arrive in the shops, so I can get a good look. I’ve listened to and seen the reviews,but I just need to get up close and personal if you know what I mean. I’ve seen your review sometime ago on the G4 and I know you gave it a glowing review. Thanks Phil for sharing.

      @avforums  Місяць тому +1

      Because of the way our eyes work with brightness, you are not really going to notice any peak brightness benefits, 144Hz is for a small amount of PC Gamers, and you need a meter to make use of the professional tools, so, like I say, 99% of that can be found on the C3.

    • @optimalsettings
      @optimalsettings Місяць тому +1

      @@avforums 1. 150nits is noticable, no more tonemapping for 1000 nit movies
      2. Tonemapping pro is useful so u can set 1000 Nit to 95% or maybe 100% without a meter
      3. There are a lot of pc gamers that will benefit from 144hz.
      So i would say a c3 is 80% from a c4.

      Depends on country, I think most people in this range will look for bargains and what they need, If samsung has fixed some issues and end users are well happy. Then all equal get that extra colo/brightness. Many S95D customers front loading it with Apple TV or a Shield etc to handle low bit rate media etc. Given that I think this review is for people who just want a capable TV, that does things well. LG > Samsung here . Plug in in and forget. I would rather recommend this to my grandma than a samsung
