Thanks RTINGS for reviewing the lower end TV’s , most mainstream reviewers tend to focus on the more expensive higher end units which most people aren’t able to comfortably afford, I bought the 65” LG B3 for $1299 last year and I’m still impressed every time I turn it on 😮
You're welcome! We have a whole lot more TV reviews coming soon from all sorts of prices, glad to hear you're enjoying your purchase! 😄
This is lower end? ????? How?
How???
@@pcenthusiastbd894 for an OLED tv, this is lower end
@@pcenthusiastbd894iphone13 is still a lower-end iphone. B4 is still a lower-end lg oled
I swear ive watch rtings more since she been doin the reviews. She need a raise
She has a name dude
She is pretty funny huh. Some vid a year an half ago had her saying some pun. I commented asking if that was her humor and the channel reply said yea. Just make sure you're not trying to learn what a Turnaround is over here. Keep it classy, yes?
@@HanmaHeiro Again, she has a name dude
No disrespect to Abby but Cedric is still the best Rtings presenter of all time.
@@jollama lol relax dude
Great review Abby.😊
i like that she's giving reviews humor and live
great video
Nice vibe! ❤
U guys do a great job reviewing, I watched your vids to buy my c3 65in & 48in b4. She does a great job, that other dude good too. I agree with the review, Very Helpful & Happy
I got the the LG G3 great tv also quite bright too
Now that the side ports are also 2.1 i will get this tv. Is terrible that they still included ports facing the wall.
I think focusing on tint in off axis is good. I use C2 for desktop use and in uniform color (like large excel spreadsheet), I can see colors changing as it goes away from the center of the screen. Ideally a max score of 10 for viewing angles would be literally perfect visually. It would be a shame if I could see difference between a TV scoring 10 vs another scoring 10.
The C4 77-inch model is exactly the same price as the 77-inch B4 at Best Buy right now. Just an FYI.
Yeah the pricing on this TV is for people who don't know what they're doing, they just see oled and that it's cheaper than the other oleds...generally only a bit. Yet you get the worst panels 60hz and nerfed to high heaven brightness
60hz was the A series, B is definitely 120hz @@lancealex382
That's crazy! I just recently saw the C4 at Costco, and it is noticably better than the C3 in image processing and I could swear the screen is better at handling reflections. I wouldn't get a B4 when the C4 is so good.
The B4 is at 120hz. But doesnt have all the enhancement tools equipped the c4 does have.
Im curious to learn more bcs the price differents are insane. Same with the c and g series compared
Where I live there is a $1000 difference in price between B4 and C4 so...
Variable Refresh Rate and 4K@120 Hz with low input lag is a huge selling point for me. Also, support for Chroma 4:4:4 so if used as a monitor you don't see fuzzy text like with 4:2:0.
You can get all of that for much less than this overpriced "midrange" like everybody brags about.
@@allbboss I usually wait until Black Friday and get the best deals. That's how I bought my 55" LC C2 OLED. Back then the B2 was only 60Hz so it wasn't even a consideration for me.
I have LG A3 and its a pity that there are no proper reviews for it, as it's a region limited product. I wish to see how B3 and A3 compares.
Just got 1 from Best Buy for 800, love it. It’s basically a c3 damn near. 48in for my bedroom. It’s true, once u go Oled. U can’t go back to LCD tvs
I love her reviews
A review by Abby
makes the tv nerd happy!
Seems like a good gaming TV
Thanks for this! Any expected date for review of the Bravia 7 and Bravia 9?
you can actually follow along those review processes here: www.rtings.com/review-pipeline
Thanks Abby
Abby is a great host!
1500.00 for a 65” is damn good price. I paid 2k for my b7
After watching the video, my conclusion is diferent from Rtings.
Here in Portugal, the B4 is 250-400€ cheaper than the C4 range(depending on the size). I don't see anything that would make me stretch for the C series.
It’s worth mentioning that when we talk about “pricing” it’s US pricing! But it can vary regionally. That’s a fair point though!
Yeah where I live the difference in price is $1000 so not worth it at all
Hi all. It’s important to get those crazy nits numbers from the upper range models when viewing in dark room? Will this B4 be enough for that?
Don't worry in a dark room.
Anyone else noticed the damaged panel ? That is a pretty gnarly bend
Sounds like an almost perfect TV... if it wasn't for the worrying green tint at an angle. What the heck, LG. Was looking at replacing my 2019 LG B9 later this year with the C4 or even this B4 until I saw the green tint issue mentioned. I like that the B4 has a higher stand profile which allows for a front placed sound bar, something I cannot do with my current B9.
Oh well, guess I'll just wait for 2025's C5 or B5 then!
Oh brother you act like you need a new TV asap. I have a C9 and have no intentions to upgrade/replace it anytime soon
As the lady correctly says, just buy the vastly superior C3 for less money. I really don't understand why the B4 is running off a lower grade processor than the C3. What exactly is the improvement over the 2023 B3?
Ist a B4 an Upgrade for a B2?
The brightness in HDR seems less on B3 and B4...

For all the people saying it is hardly “value” - yeah at the pricing it is now it isn’t compared to last years C3, but give it six months for it to take its place as the bargain model. Just look at pricing trends from LC.
I'm trying to determine if I should get a B3 or spend a few hundred extra and get a B4. IDK if there really is that much of a difference

Why u have two different pairs of hands?
for fun
7:03 “upscaling not as good as the G4” yet they are both 8.0 by your measure. I’m confused.
No 144hz is no good, unless you're on a console ):
Thanks Abby and Rtings
This is currently 799 at Best Buy
I think it stays that way. Looks like it replaced the A2 48 inch
sadly outside US the S90D is a panel lottery
Bought the S90c! Dont need the newest model.
What is the difference between the lg b42la and the lg b46la there's a £700 price difference

Perfect for the bedroom, but probably not bright enough for the living room.
Love the review, and Abby's a great host. I also love LG TVs, especially the B series... You could say that I'm an LGBTV ally 😏😎
How do I calibrate this TV?
we use a tool and software, but do provide some recommended settings for self-service purposes. www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/b4-oled/settings
Eagerly waiting for Samsung Frame 2024 review
Coming soon! 😄
The HDR brightness is what is holding the B series back. In the C series, you get a somewhat cutdown G series, but the difference between the C and B is so vast that a C2 will still outperform a B4, which is crazy in my opinion. Especially since the B4 costs more than even the C3
getting RBG vibes with this outfit. (not RGB)
Was almost sold on this until I saw that green tint.
Wont even notice it, lil kid
Baffling response.
@@iamthechessmasterRatioed
@@stupidmaninthewindowYou realized you replied to yourself right?
I need a 75-77" for a bright room. Looks like an S90C/S89C is still the way to go for saving money... A 77" B4 costs as much as 77" G3...and we know which is a LOT better at $3500.

Do it, I tried a b3 but it was so dark I thought it was broken. The b4 is not any different. I had the s90c 65 then noticed the s89c 77” has the 2nd gen qdoled panel and is cheaper than the s90c 77”. I love my s89c it’s BRIGHT and its colors are accurate. If you compare the s89c to the Sony A95L you get almost the same performance for half the price.
@@dizzzzy001100% agree. Love my S89C
@dizzzzy001 that's great to hear!
1700 for a 55 iinch tv is certainly not for everyone, especially when mini leds from hisense are half the price and give 80% of rhe perfromance
Got the s90c for 1080euro. Dont need the newest model.
@@Jeffvs good choice, there is no LG TV better than the s90c except maybe the LG G4
well the 65" is the same price for C4 and B4 so ???????
This can vary by region but were basing our pricing comparison on US pricing at the time of filming. Sorry for the confusion
i prefer good miniled raheer than value oled
100% this. More mini LED reviews please.
We have a lot more TV reviews in store, including mini LED models! 😄 Stay tuned!
Is the review coming for the TCL QM8 SOON.....
👀
Go to their website if you want a review so bad
Value OLED? Well that will be around $4000 in my country for the 55" screen...
Having just returned my C3 for panel failure, forgive me for not been very enthusiastic about this B4
The stand is a backwards step foe me, the B3 had a full flat one not the two ugly feet.
Also the screen sizes start at 55", i want no more than 48".
I am waiting for your reviews of the 2024 models with Mini-Led displays in a sensible size ie 48"
The term sensible is somewhat subjective, huh?
@@MarkNOTW I mean sensible in relation to room size
Not everyone lives in a house with large rooms.
There is nuance and individuality to tv wants and needs I feel. Sometimes I wonder these cheap feature heavy tvs that they rave about will give out in 3 years or less for sure. Or look like crap. Also those tvs usually come in bigger sizes at their smallest. Also when I have more control in a bigger space I will probably get the kind of tv they want me to get anyway.i own a 50 inch set.
@@Bisaju2 The harsh reality is that there are no perfect TV's made that meet our exacting requirements.
It is a case of picking the best you can afford and live with it's weakspots.
In a way i was lucky that the panel failed on my C3, the remote drove me mad and the banding on dark scenes
was also poor, i think the panel was suffering from a manufacturing defect, the new C4 48" models have a new upgraded panel
and they needed it.
Oled only, probably an okay value. Hdtv overall? Bad value. Better looking at TCL or a Hisense Mini-LED.
Checking the prices...
Uhm...? Value?
Gotta disagree about the "good HDR" - 5 years ago this would've been fine but today this is not "good" HDR but just the bare mininum where your priority is contrast. For a similar price, I think this year's TCL QM851G is way better for HDR enthusiasts on a budget.
Lol...oh fomo the average person aren't looking at Spears and Munsel video content. These oleds look better than most led backlight TV's. They need to get pricing lower to give more people access.
@seanmf202 ironically, what you said is more reason that the casual viewers would be happier with his recommendation
Value OLED:
cheapest model i could find is a thousand euros.
Wait till November for the real price
TV Rule Nr1: Never buy them on release. Prices are too high and then fall quickly
Guys, if you wait 10 years it'll be real cheap.
That's the actual price!

I find the tone of the reviews in these videos at odds with how they read on the site.
👍👍👍👍🎊🎉
Anyone who is thinking about getting it, DO NOT DO IT. For being over 2k you would assume peak brightness should hit 1k nits. This tv is really dark. Stick to Samsung or Sony. The S89c has a 2nd gen QD oled panel from Samsung and is on par with flagship oleds and less than 2k for the 77”.
IIsn’t that the s90c that has that dilemma for the 77 inch I’ve seen it all over for s90c a big reason why I wanna pick one up on par with s95c
@@RossMKF1I’m referring to the S89c which is a 77” model that has a 2nd gen QD-oled panel and is cheaper than both the s90c and s95c but is on par with the s95c since they have the same panel. Search it up on ratings and you’ll see what I’m talking about. I’m honestly surprised the s89c is kept in the shadows when it is better than even the new mid flagships. I think the sponsors tv reviewers have won’t like it if they talk about the s89c.
It's too expensive. The 55" is $1500 - isn't this supposed to be the midrange? Pass!
It costs exactly the same as the C4...lol
B4 > C4??
She's Abby!
Not recomend,too dark panel
Value OLED? This thing is £2,500 for a 65” panel! For comparison, my 65” LG non-OLED I got a few years ago was around £550. Value, my arse.
Well you didn't get an OLED for £550 so I'm not quite sure what your point is?
"Value [X]? My [Y] was much cheaper!" K bro.
You got a kia this is a ferrari.
Suddup.
@@AvocadoAfficionado my point is incredibly obvious. There are decent 65” OLED TVs out there from manufacturers like Samsung for £700-£1,000. £2,500 is NOT value.
@@Lieutenant_UKAll the manufacturers have high prices when new and next spring its going to be half the price.
This tv will be 1200 next spring
Value Ferrari? I got my civic for $30k! Lol
OMG! Get rid of this “reviewer” yesterday! Non-professional and annoying. Come on, Rtings.
B4 affordable.Yeah Right 👎
