Just bought this TV a month ago. Coming from a mid tier 2019 LED from LG, which I thought looked pretty good, i was mind blown. Have rewatched all my favorite content on this TV and the experience has been amazing - OLED is NOT overrated. OLED really takes you to another level with immersion, especially for films because you get to dim the lights, and the blacks are blacks, you dont get disrtracted by any blooming, and it has that contrast that makes it look more 3D. I actually ordered the Hisense U8N because apparently had amazing contrast, but quickly cancelled the shipment before it arrived, and decided to go with this to avoid any compromises. Like if you're going to have a TV for many years, and you do enjoy Movies and tv watching as a family activity during the weekneds, it is worth spending a bit more. Its expensive, but not too crazy expensive. If you have the ability to buy one comfortably, just go for it.
No tv will beat the longevity of my tv of 35 years and still going. I want this tv...but it's like chucking my grandmother in the trash if I bought it lol
@@rpospeedwagon he wasn't upgrading from a OLED, he was upgrading from an LCD to an OLED. your C9 is awesome and has almost all the same features as the C4. unless u need a brighter tv, keep your C9, the c9 can do over 800 nits in a 10% window, thats excellent.
I have been watching this video since it came out and I was convinced to get this TV when he said “I just wish that everyone can have this TV”. Yesterday I bought it and I can say I have no regrets. The green tint people are talking about when viewing from angles is nonexistent basically. The HDR content is spectacular and to be honest, yes it is dimmer but in a dark room it can blind you. If you still have doubts about this TV, I can guarantee that you’re gonna be more than happy when you buy it.
Just got a C4 77 yesterday upgrading from a 2013 Sony 65 which I thought looked good til I bought this , WOW! This review is spot on, everyone should have one!
One of my all time favourite reviews of any product. Your passion for this Tv has really sold it to me. If youtube reviewers got reviews themselves I would give you 10/10 👏
I've got the 48" LG C4 from Cotsco this week for $699, I'm using it as a monitor, is my first OLED and I'm blown away with the picture quality of this thing, is incredible, definitively getting the 77'' for the entertainment room, thank you for the review.
@@eltesso4910 yeah bjs wholesale club has it too although I don't think they have the smaller models like the 48 inch I think you need to get 55 inch and up but it's on sale for like 1499 and apparently it claims to be 1200 dollars off for the 65 inch model
After seeing the BDI tv stand you use, and hearing your comments, we went and looked at some BDI furniture and bought their bedroom suite during the sale. I have to admit, it is some top-quality stuff. Solid walnut. We couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you for the recommendation...... next up is a TV before Christmas. Still trying to decide on which one.
Thanks for the update Caleb. However, based on your recommendation we upgraded from our old 55" Sony Bravia 720p to an LG C3 65" TV for abut $1400. Obviously we are stunned. Sports & movies are crazy good. Thanks for doing my research for me and pointing us to a fantastic TV & save us a ton of money.
Upgraded my living room tv from a 4K LED 65 inch to an LG C3 77 inch 6 months ago and it’s been an absolute joy watching anything on it. If you can comfortably afford getting an OLED tv for your living room I seriously don’t know why you wouldn’t make the upgrade!
If someone thinks of buying a Scamsung S90D, before doing that, check if that TV has QD-OLED or WOLED. If it has WOLED, don't even think to buy the Samsung one, just get the LG. 42", 48" and 83" are 100% LG Display (as they are the only manufacturers for such displays). In some regions 55" is panel lottery, and 77" 100% is also LG Display (again, in some Regions, like in Europe, Romania). Here in Romania, the WOLED S90D's ends in AEXXH, while QD-OLED S90D's ends in ATXXH. Also, I've seen the same model numbers for other European countries too. So, for my European fellas, avoid the AEXXH models, and get the C4.
Picked a C4 55inch on impulse and your comments of approval 2 months later gave me a warm glow that id lucked out.....Phew thanks Caleb from an old guy in the UK ❤😊
i have this TV now, as of a couple of days ago. Our TCL 6 series died in less than 3 years. Our Vizio prior to that died in less than 3 years. Our current Hisense U8H died in less than TWO years. I have stories of the same from several friends. I gave up, spent the money, and bought a higher end TV for once and hopefully it lasts longer than a couple of years. This one looks amazing for sure!
I'm OLDer and TVs back in the 1960s lasted forever! We usually just upgraded to colour, then newer models, etc. Back then there was actual craftsmanship, pride in our work, and not everything was made in China!
My 2020 Hisense H9G just died a couple days ago after only 4yrs. It was said at the time to be the best gaming TV under $1000. I'm pretty annoyed. I plan to also spend more and hope the next one lasts longer.
@@makaiokalahama The more I post this issue on either forums, here, and reddit, the more people are telling stories about TCL and Hisense TVs lasting a very short amount of time. Bummer. I hate the idea of disposable electronics like big ass TVs. I have contacted Hisense twice now too for a warranty repair and no response.
Watching this on the LG C4 I bought 3 months ago. I switched from a 2020 4K LED and it is definitely a worth decision. I also think the sound is not as what you expected from this kind of TV, but I’ve been using Sony soundbar since my last TV anyway.
My old HT in Pennsylvania was based around a 65" Panasonic Plasma. I purchased that TV in 2009. I can say, at the time, the picture was incredible. Then I began to notice how the blacks were gray. Spring forward, we moved to East Texas in 2020. I crated the plasma and brought it with us. I remembered seeing the first OLED display on the checkout counter at Best Buy Magnolia. It was breathtaking and only like a 15" screen. Now I'm finishing the build out of our new HT. The plasma is still in the crate. I just bought this 83" C4. Haven't even gotten it out of the box. Really excited. The plasma will find a home in the shop. Great video.. thanks!
I recently bought the LG C3 55 inch tv. I love it, it's an excellent tv. I don't quite get that "magic motion" feature on the remote. Not sure if I missed out on much by not buying the most recent model but I got a very good deal, and Amazon delivered to my apt., unboxed, set up and turned on the set for $30. I am happy I bought this tv with it's amazing picture!
I just upgraded from a 1080p 3D 120hz Vizio LCD from about 10-ish years ago that I got from Circuit city when they were still around. My new C4 arrives in a few days and I can't wait to see the difference! I mainly just use my Computer monitors for all my games and TV but decided I wanted to have one large screen on the side for true immersion into (some) games, and movies. Thanks for helping me decide!
@ absolutely love it. It’s so bright the bright scenes actually hurt. The step up was insane from the old LCD to this is insane. It’s also great for gaming, and made me realize I might need to get a smaller one for my flight and racing sims.
I just bought a 65" C3 a month ago. I think any improvements or enhancements weren't worth the extra $900 they wanted for the C4. I'm not disappointed at all nor do I regret my decision.
I bought a 55" C3 a month ago and it is amazing. I suspect the C4 is marginally better, but I got an amazing deal on the C3. The HDR feels amazing compared with my 5 year old LED TV. The picture is superb. No regrets at all 😁
I also bought my C3 65"about a month+ ago. Ive been waiting for my eye to get used to how awesome the picture looks to where I dont notice it, yet I am still constantly aware of how incredible the picture is. I was actually wondering what his thought would be on the difference between the C3 and C4. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the difference?
The C4 can actually hit 1000nits peak brightness which is sort of like a milestone when it comes to HDR standards. C3 gets up to about 820 ISH. In real world content I don't know if you'll notice massive differences but it is a significant boost on paper. So I can understand the premium they are charging
Hey! I’m thinking about getting a C4, but I came across some comments about burning pixels in OLED TVs. Have you had any experiences with your TV that you'd be willing to share? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Just got a PS5 Pro and am now looking to upgrade from my TCL Roku TV from 2020 and this TV was recommended by IGN for the PS5 Pro. The price and quality were the most appealing factors and now this review leaves me knowing that I'll have no regrets. With Black Friday just two weeks away I'm hoping to save some money on one but will be getting one either way. Thanks!
Recently picked one of these up for merely the cost of my Best Buy protection plan. My C9 from 2019 had the most minor burn in possible (and only under certain colors) so they exchanged it for me. Pretty nice upgrade overall. Though I will say the cost cutting is obvious when you compare it to the C9 (C9 has a huge stand, more inputs, better remote, attractive backside with finish, sits lower, better power button) I'm ok with all that because I know the tech/panel is cutting edge and the 144Hz was a nice bonus. Best monitor ever.
I've got the C9, But the upper side of the panel just become off-white(the pixles are off) . And my warranty just passed so i need to buy a new one. do you recommend the C4 ? cuz I'm not shore I wannna stay with LG.
@@sheqse Sounds like panel lotto to me, but upgrading to the current model was the easiest choice I've ever made and frankly saved me a ton of time. There was a comparable Sony model for a bit more, but they aren't as good for PC/gaming use. Just get the C4 open box or not from best buy with the 5 year plan and use the hell out of it. Also don't forget a lot of other companies will be using this same LG panel anyway.
So true! I fell in love with The C4 at P.C. Richards tonight. I have an LG OLED from either ‘21 or ‘22. 55”. Love it. The older one is going upstairs to Dad whom is using up a very old Samsung LED tv that looks like Coke cans are all over the screen.😂 I can’t wait to see His reaction when He sees what an OLED looks like. I’ll have My C4 on Thursday! Can’t wait! Great review!
Bought this in May, and haven’t looked back since! Best electronics decision ever made! Best part is i got it under sale in Malaysia with the 48” for USD750!
Thanks to the LG C4/G4 the C3 model got a huge price cut and pulled the trigger. This is my first Oled TV and...my God, I just can't go back to LCD lol. One of the best purchases EVER!
I'm watching my 65" Bravia as I type this (it's my Classic Mac Pro's external monitor), and a few weeks ago, I was at Andres Electronics and the OLEDs were DEF at another level of quality!
My Panasonic VT50 plasma just died (amazing TV) and from this review it looks like I'll be getting the LG 55" C4 at COSTCO for $1200 with 5 yr warranty. Great review. Thank you
I have been using an LG C1 48" OLED as my PC monitor for over 3 years now. It gets a LOT of use as I work from home doing IT work and I PC game. I haven't put much effort into preventing burn-in other than setting my PC to turn the screen off after being idle for 15 minutes. I have not noticed ANY burn-in yet. I don't even notice any temporary image retention with this TV. Burn-in really doesn't seem to much of an issue with the last several generations. I have had the LG C8 OLED 55" model since 2018 and even that has zero burn-in after all this time. That one was my main TV and is now my bedroom TV. It's seen hundreds of hours of console gaming and kids shows with bright static logos. Very happy with both my LG OLED's. The only gripe is with the older C8 image processing doing absolutely horrendous with panning shots. And the HDMI audio signal was often out of sync with soundbar. But my C1 I use as a PC monitor has been flawless, though I don't use audio on or through that one at all.
Not the best price ever, but I found a 48" C4 at Costco. I bought the TCL QM8 75" for the living room from best buy in Feb, but wanted a nice smaller tv for the bedroom. Wanted a 55" but the 48" was $700 with included 3 year warranty and the 55" was like $1300 or something like that. I actually like both my TV's having really good, but uniquely different pictures. LG looks crisp as hell. Perfect for night time movies. I will say the tcl UI and remote is superior overall. Have to train my brain on the different remotes, but the lg doesn't light up and I have a harder time feeling the buttons. All the money went into the wii pointer functionality Funny side story, the 48" barely fit in the trunk in my tiny Subaru 2nd gen BRZ (one of the smallest cars on the market). I ended up bending the trunk frame by the rubber weatherstripping gasket a bit, and tearing the gasket. Oops. I ended up slowly shimmying it little by little from the inside. Didn't notice till I went to close the trunk. I had to cut the box open from inside, and carry it out of the car, to prevent bending the thin aluminum more. I was upset but also laughing at the absurdity of it. People at the costco parking lot and even my neighbors coming home were like "wtf". Only time I've ever needed a bigger car, is when I am buying TV's 😂
Of all the reviews, both positive and negative, this one stands true. Took the plunge and couldn't be happier. Went from a 2019 Samsung LED and am absolutely blown away. OLED is a game changer! Our TV is perpendicular to a north facing sliding glass door and faces another window. Have always struggled with glare and viewing angles. This LG C4 is plenty bright enough and crystal clear in all lighting conditions. Glare is no longer a distraction, and we have not had to pull our blinds shut a single time! Set the picture to Expert Bright Space Daytime and Energy Saving Off and that's it! We have a soundbar, but without, the TV audio is not as terrible as expected, especially in AI Sound Pro mode. Even if OLED wears out in time, I hope this LG will still outlast our past two Samsung TVs. Have always been a Samsung person but their quality and reliability have gone downhill. That said, we have two Samsungs from 2009 that are still going strong. Only time will tell in this 'built to fail' generation. Thank you, Digital Trends, for a dependable review!
Samsung has good customer service! I had an issue with a 43" and they fixed it promptly no charge! I forgot what the issue was as it was about 20 years ago.
I picked up a 65" LG C4 a few days ago and it has the green tint. I think this issue is more common than people realize. I even checked the display model at the local store and it had the same issue. The salesman called it color degradation and acted like it was normal. Try pausing a picture with faces and lighter background colors and walk to the side and see what it does to the picture. It looks fine when viewing it straight on if that's all you need.
C3 seems like a viable alternative especially with concern for green tint at angled viewing. Anyone else have thoughts about the two or green tint? (not a gamer)
I just bought this tv it got delivered yesterday. I had a LG L.e.d that was 4 years old this December. Only had a few hours with this but all looks good 👍
Just bought this 2 weeks ago. It's a very good improvement over my old LG CX. Using CX daily and updating the correct settings on this made it instantly noticeable, especially the brightness for HDR content. Its a lot brighter than im used to but its solid for day time HDR movies aswell. Gaming mode is a lot brighter than CX and feels more sharp and detailed
Interesting! I actually just posted a question about comparing these new C4's to the CX from 2020. I have a 65" CX. Sounds like in your experience, it's a pretty noticeable difference.
@TheMNbassHunter Yeah even though you see the constant 'its not as bright as the G series' It is noticeably brighter than CX for games and movies too. I need to put the brightness down at times when watching HDR stuff at night. Its 1000 nits of brightness. The image quality is definitely better. Its an updated chip from the CX. Overall very happy with it as an upgrade to my CX. I had the CX for around 4 years
Bought LG C4 83 inch today, waiting for delivery. Have LG B1 55 inch from before. Its gonna be awesome 😊 Hopefully 98 inch oleds will be affordble in not so many years.
Glad for your timely review! Planning on my 65 inch - 2020 LG CX replacement later in the fall. My daughter’s family wants the CX even with 14,000 hours on it. The replacement C4 though will be an upgrade to 77 inches which will be a better fit given the room it will be situated in now that I have experienced the 65 inch size. Question: Did you see any “green tint” - off angle - as noted by RTINGS or is that something LG got fixed with their strong product support updates?
Would you go with an LG C4 or G4 if you watch TV 10 hours a day ( shows news, sports, movies) and the news channels 3 hours a day. Concerned about burn in issues and longevity...
I will def buy LG , got myself a Samsung S95B a year and half ago and have not been happy with it from day one. My parents LG C1 just seems to have something that the Samsung lacks , maybe it’s the processing, the LG picture signature is more appealing to me even though mine is technically more advanced with the QDOLED technology.
Been contemplating to buy a new TV for the living room. Like you mentioned in your review, if we are coming from an older tv 5 years ago then this a substantial upgrade. I might just pull the trigger. I am coming from an old Sony X900F we bought in 2018. its still a great tv and I'm happy it lasted this long. I'm excited to see the improvements from that to something new.
Thanks for this review! I have been researching TV’s and finally pulled the trigger on this one. Am super excited cause my current TV is a 2015 LG LED. It was well over due for an upgrade. Spent more money then I wanted to but think it will be worth it as I wanted an Oled that was decently bright and good quality. I am a fan of the LG brand as well.
I bought the 48 inch version of this one. I got a great sale price at Costco of $1100. I actually use it on my desk as a monitor with the black background documents literally look like they’re floating in air. I do have my Apple TV and Xbox also hooked into it. Very happy post purchase satisfaction.
Great review! Sounds like you're a Roku and Apple TV fan. Have you had a go with the Nvidia Shield? I've abandoned my Roku's for the Shield on all my TV's.
I was about to buy the 77" C4, but luckily I was able to see it running in a store in my town, I didn't like the greenish tint when I viewded it from angles, meaning you can tell as soon as you move away from the center. Instead, I got 77" C3 , it looks amazing and doesn't have that greenish tint problem. I know C4 have some new and better features, but I was able to save some money and there aren't huge diferences between the two models.
need some advice. Coming from a 2018 65'" c8. Moving a to a bigger condo (2x the size) corner unit with a lot more sunlight. I don't find my current c8 dim but it could be brighter in sdr. Considering either a 77 G4 or settle for a C4. I use a shield pro to consume my content 95% in SDR. Not sure which one to get but I know i'm loyal to LG.
If brightness is a concern go ahead and get the G4. The TV you have and the c-series are honestly basically the same TV Sure you're getting "different generation panel", put the changes by the panel manufacturer year to year are very small. It essentially be getting the same TV and personally if you're spending $2,000 I'd rather have something with a real improvement and not just better processing The g4 has MLA so there's legitimately something that was changed and improved. Also idk if you know about the 113111 code, but you can really juice up the look of SDR content using that menu with your shield pro. You can make sdr MUCH brighter and more colorful by forcing it into HLG mode.
Just got a 65-inch on sale at Best Buy for 1699 yesterday. Coming from a 65-inch Vizio p series qantum. I can say I'm astounded at the quality difference, screen uniformity, and the sound!! Oled is the way to go.
As the other guys said you need to ring best buy to get $200 back from them as it's now 1499. I did the same thing today for the C4 that arrived 3 or 4 days ago.
you can still increase color volume .Probably without new materials it will be hard for WOLED and QD-OLED to improve their Rec 2020 scores, Both these techs and LCD can produce lovely bright , saturated colors.But it's the hues ( wavelengths ) that are missing. Most content except cartoons, games not affected , unless a TV boosts spread for you, Real life examples really colorful sunsets, rainbows, prisms, emeralds, sapphires, iridescent insect wings, oil spills, some exotic plants and some burning metals . So Rec 2020 increases color graduations ie hues, I think violets are hard to reproduce from memory. Again made be moot if watch old technicolor movies, or if your color vision is so so. I always find it funny old audiophiles worrying about high treble, when they can't hear it - they are lucky to still hear 16-17000 hertz let alone 22 0000. In isolation all these TVs are colorful, you won't know what you are missing, if don't have a S95D right next to be for specific content . LG C series sells well as most people are really happy . Most people also love big screen Hisense. TCL 85' -100" monsters . To put it in perspective a C4 if released 3 years ago , would be raved about as the greatest TV ever - no MLA , no QD-OLED . Content has never looked so good , this is the nearly the perfect TV !!!
@@nimblegoat I had always been in awe of LG’s balanced approach with Color Saturation: Sony’s Accuracy and realism coupled with Samsung’s Bright Saturation… It’s like one found a Haven between the 2 polar opposites.
@@hastensavoir7782 Yeah a nice balance. Think Samsung will bring MLA tech either next year or year after. This is only a small part of the market, most people buy LCD. I still have a plasma, I know HDR looks spectacular but still love my panasonic. I will buy next year in sales. Still undecided if best 65" and wait 4 years to go big , or just get the best 83" next year. Money is not an issue for me, which I am grateful for , but I won't pay a silly price for say B10 83" ( ie a Sony QD-OLED 83" if it comes next year ) , as TVs will be getting better for another 10 years at least . But I know a C4 83" is really good enough to buy and just enjoy ( I watch in darken room )
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Last year you said you'd do a video on HDR10 v. Dolby Vision video given that Samsung doesn't include it, so I hope when you review the S90D you revisit this topic. Ultimately I know it won't be a deal breaker either way, but outside of Vincent Teoh's video no one has covered this topic much & I'm still interested in your take on it.
I would love to see a comparison of the LG OLEDs over the years. I have a 77" CX, and want to know which one I should upgrade to.....which is the best bang for buck and why? Just higher brightness or?
I have a OLED55C7P-U from 2017. We had lots of Problems from the start...the panel had to be replaced due to a software glitch with pixel refresher after approximately 4 months...I made LG cover the new panel and not Best Buy as that would destroy my 5 year Warranty. So lastly after about 4 years with the C7, we had heavy screen burn...in particular with Magenta colors. Fulfilled my warranty and wondering if I should get this one? No more analog input, so I'll have to get a cheapy one from Amazon. Burn in is a big factor, but OLED is gorgeous.
Between the 83 inch LG C4 on sale for $4,000 and the 83 inch LG G3 on sale for $4,700, which would you recommend. Thanks you in advance and I appreciate and enjoy all your content!
Got this deal too. Wish they stocked or carried the 42in for a similar price. I literally could not let the 699 48in deal pass up, I think these will be sought after in a few years and retain their value. Basically got a 1200 tv for 700, with 3 year warranty. Win!
Thank you Caleb, I really value your reviews and enjoy your style. Could you please do a comparison of the LG C4 to the Samsung S90D soon? I’ve narrowed my shopping choices to these two and would love to hear your thoughts.
As fate would have it, I was in BB today and had an hour to kill. So off to LG tv land I went. C4 on top. G4 on the bottom. IMHO there was a quite noticeable difference. More saturation but more importantly, a depth I couldn’t put my finger on. Not 3D level but depth nonetheless. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Damnitall 😂
God yes! Much more brightness in HDR, no dimming in game mode, new gen MLA panel, new processor, better motion handling, better picture definition, better out of the box color calibration and 5 year exclusive panel warranty .
The lack of a 3.0 tuner is a problem for those who get local news and sports via antenna particularly if they're in a fringe or multipath area. It also offers 1080P instead of 720 on Fox & ABC. This and that I got a 65" A80CL delivered for 1499 with 5 year warranty is why I went with Sony. Also the better processing and Netflix calibrated mode.
@@markholmes1158 Already have that. But that's another box and another remote. This shouldn't be necessary for a 2024 TV when plenty 2023 TVs had 3.0 tuners. Sony, Hisense, etc..
I bought this TV and traded it for a S90D and it was a huge mistake! I hate the remote! And I'm use to the Samsung and everyone talked the S90D up. The C4 is not good out of the box and takes about 4 weeks to break in. It also took me a lot of tweeking to get the picture to look optimal, but once I did.... the C4 is incredibly beautiful, vibrant and plenty bright. The motion on the C4 is so much better than the S90D and the C4 dominates the S90D in standard definition. Over the air t.v. and other stuff in SD looks great on the C4, and pretty bad to awful on the S90D. I could go on and on, but the S90D is more vivid in UHD stuff and the speakers sound better. But the C4 is better in every other way.... except that horrible remote!
I own an LG OLED B7 (65") from 2017, how big of a difference should I expect with a fresh OLED like the LG C4? Regarding burn-in: I have a UA-cam logo burnt in in the upper right corner from the UA-cam app on the TV.
I've had the LG C1 Oled for almost three years now, but is the C4 a worthy enough upgrade? Will I notice a wow factor from the C1 750 ish nits to the C4 hdr/sdr brightness? I'm mostly always in a dark room btw
I was at the local Best Buy here in Canada and was comparing C3 vs Bravia 8. I am a big fan of Sony and was almost disappointed C3 looked so good. Problem was, they were out of stock since it’s a last year’s model and C4 was more expensive than Bravia 8. This morning, or should I say 15 min ago I checked the new prices, and C4 is now on even better sale than Bravia 8 making it cheaper than Sony. Came here to check on your review and really appreciate it. With the BB warranty, I don’t mind not getting LG’s 5 year panel protection as I should be covered by BB warranty. I found C3 to have better connectivity than Sony and TV just looks spectacular. This will be my first LG TV ever and I am hoping built quality and longevity will not disappoint. I am coming from a 9 year old Samsung 8 series 4K led tv and I am sure this will be a major upgrade. Any LG or TV nerds, please feel free to confuse me even more if I should not worry about the purchasing of a LG TV or if Sony Bravia 8 is still a better panel.
Quick update, BB made me a great deal on G4. I am on the second panel now, just got it yesterday after getting a faulty panel, and guess what, new one has burned pixels, like a whole thin line running along the right hand side of the screen. I think there’s an issue with quality control on LGs side and I will be returning it purchasing the Sony.
Honestly I think you should totally skip audio as part of these reviews. It's 2024 and if you're buying a TV this nice, you should have a soundbar paired with it at the minimum. Even if it's wall mounted, you can hang a soundbar to the TV mount below the screen easily.
i have the 65 lg c9 from 2019 with Hdmi 2.1 and eArc support. Looks perfect and no burn in at all. I have zero interest in a new tv.. but I always wondered if someone was to swap mine with in this case this new C4.. would I notice the difference? Mine still looks perfect. I'm only thinking maybe I would notice the difference if they were side by side with some HDR content where there should be some brightness difference? But non HDR content would look identical I'm thinking. My 2019 also just got a software update that appears to be the same as the new ones.
I have a 55C9 with Sonos Beam and it has been outstanding with +5000 hrs (no gaming). The 55C9 started out as the main TV and now moved to Master bedroom duties. Notice it is a little slower to boot-up streaming services like Netflix/Paramount+ compared to my 77C1; but, both performs and look exactly the same once the show starts. One big advantage the 77" has over my 55" is being able to sit further back for the same resolution to my eyes with the larger screen.
@@mrgold3591 Awesome good to hear.. kinda confirms what I was thinking. I guess the only upgrade that I would notice is a larger one :) .. if my living area would allow it I'd probably do it.
I had mine 65 inch for 6 months and for watching movies only. Already an big burn in on the left side. LG only replies pixel cleaning. What about warrenty.
Bought this for black fri and man oh man i felt like i was shorting myself all these yrs. My problem with cheap tvs i could never see in dark scenes such like a forest scene or cave it would be washed out. With this tv my gooooooodness i can see everything bro. Its crispy buy this tv if you were thinking about it. 🎉
Just bought this TV a month ago. Coming from a mid tier 2019 LED from LG, which I thought looked pretty good, i was mind blown. Have rewatched all my favorite content on this TV and the experience has been amazing - OLED is NOT overrated. OLED really takes you to another level with immersion, especially for films because you get to dim the lights, and the blacks are blacks, you dont get disrtracted by any blooming, and it has that contrast that makes it look more 3D. I actually ordered the Hisense U8N because apparently had amazing contrast, but quickly cancelled the shipment before it arrived, and decided to go with this to avoid any compromises. Like if you're going to have a TV for many years, and you do enjoy Movies and tv watching as a family activity during the weekneds, it is worth spending a bit more. Its expensive, but not too crazy expensive. If you have the ability to buy one comfortably, just go for it.
I have yet to see a compelling reason to upgrade my C9 OLED. It's plenty bright.
Amen friend
No tv will beat the longevity of my tv of 35 years and still going. I want this tv...but it's like chucking my grandmother in the trash if I bought it lol
Oleds won't survive for long tbh
@@rpospeedwagon he wasn't upgrading from a OLED, he was upgrading from an LCD to an OLED. your C9 is awesome and has almost all the same features as the C4. unless u need a brighter tv, keep your C9, the c9 can do over 800 nits in a 10% window, thats excellent.
I have been watching this video since it came out and I was convinced to get this TV when he said “I just wish that everyone can have this TV”. Yesterday I bought it and I can say I have no regrets. The green tint people are talking about when viewing from angles is nonexistent basically. The HDR content is spectacular and to be honest, yes it is dimmer but in a dark room it can blind you. If you still have doubts about this TV, I can guarantee that you’re gonna be more than happy when you buy it.
Just got a C4 77 yesterday upgrading from a 2013 Sony 65 which I thought looked good til I bought this , WOW! This review is spot on, everyone should have one!
Mine gets delivered tomorrow, thanks for calming my purchase anxiety. Can’t wait!!
Tom, U must be EXCITED to view such a marvelous piece of equipment!
wall mount included?
One of my all time favourite reviews of any product. Your passion for this Tv has really sold it to me. If youtube reviewers got reviews themselves I would give you 10/10 👏
I've got the 48" LG C4 from Cotsco this week for $699, I'm using it as a monitor, is my first OLED and I'm blown away with the picture quality of this thing, is incredible, definitively getting the 77'' for the entertainment room, thank you for the review.
How did you get it for that price? Are you sure you got a C4?
@@MrDamo34 Yes of course is a C4, they had this sale for a couple for weeks, in store only
@@eltesso4910 yeah bjs wholesale club has it too although I don't think they have the smaller models like the 48 inch I think you need to get 55 inch and up but it's on sale for like 1499 and apparently it claims to be 1200 dollars off for the 65 inch model
After seeing the BDI tv stand you use, and hearing your comments, we went and looked at some BDI furniture and bought their bedroom suite during the sale. I have to admit, it is some top-quality stuff. Solid walnut. We couldn't be happier with the purchase. Thank you for the recommendation...... next up is a TV before Christmas. Still trying to decide on which one.
Thanks for the update Caleb. However, based on your recommendation we upgraded from our old 55" Sony Bravia 720p to an LG C3 65" TV for abut $1400. Obviously we are stunned. Sports & movies are crazy good. Thanks for doing my research for me and pointing us to a fantastic TV & save us a ton of money.
Where did you get the C3? I want a 55 inch but Best Buy said they don’t make that model anymore. I may have to go with the C4
Upgraded my living room tv from a 4K LED 65 inch to an LG C3 77 inch 6 months ago and it’s been an absolute joy watching anything on it. If you can comfortably afford getting an OLED tv for your living room I seriously don’t know why you wouldn’t make the upgrade!
If someone thinks of buying a Scamsung S90D, before doing that, check if that TV has QD-OLED or WOLED. If it has WOLED, don't even think to buy the Samsung one, just get the LG.
42", 48" and 83" are 100% LG Display (as they are the only manufacturers for such displays). In some regions 55" is panel lottery, and 77" 100% is also LG Display (again, in some Regions, like in Europe, Romania).
Here in Romania, the WOLED S90D's ends in AEXXH, while QD-OLED S90D's ends in ATXXH. Also, I've seen the same model numbers for other European countries too. So, for my European fellas, avoid the AEXXH models, and get the C4.
I just bought the 55 inch one from emag romania 55C42LA, does this one have a good panel?
Exactly what I did. Here in Belgium it’s WOLED for 55” and QD-OLED for 65”. A 55 inch tv is perfectly sized for me so the S90d was easily discarded.
What is better woled or qd-oled
@@osmanguney7324for tvs, most likely qd-oled is better but if your using a monitor then I’d recommend WOLED but it is just personal preference
Picked a C4 55inch on impulse and your comments of approval 2 months later gave me a warm glow that id lucked out.....Phew thanks Caleb from an old guy in the UK ❤😊
I had like 10 years without buying a TV and got one of these. It looks amazing.
Oh? One of 'these'? As opposed to one of 'those'?
@@mr.blackhawk142 As a none-native english speaker, i can safely say that nothing is wrong with the word 'these' in his sentence...
@@mr.blackhawk142it’s the same thing pal this is such a nothing burger
Same here. Picking mine up tomorrow. Can't wait to get it up.
@mr.blackhawk142 i got one of those for the living room. Looking at one of these for the bedroom.
i have this TV now, as of a couple of days ago. Our TCL 6 series died in less than 3 years. Our Vizio prior to that died in less than 3 years. Our current Hisense U8H died in less than TWO years. I have stories of the same from several friends. I gave up, spent the money, and bought a higher end TV for once and hopefully it lasts longer than a couple of years. This one looks amazing for sure!
I'm OLDer and TVs back in the 1960s lasted forever! We usually just upgraded to colour, then newer models, etc. Back then there was actual craftsmanship, pride in our work, and not everything was made in China!
My 2020 Hisense H9G just died a couple days ago after only 4yrs. It was said at the time to be the best gaming TV under $1000. I'm pretty annoyed. I plan to also spend more and hope the next one lasts longer.
@@makaiokalahama The more I post this issue on either forums, here, and reddit, the more people are telling stories about TCL and Hisense TVs lasting a very short amount of time. Bummer. I hate the idea of disposable electronics like big ass TVs. I have contacted Hisense twice now too for a warranty repair and no response.
They say that tvs today only last as long as 5 years. Its made not to last so we have to buy more often.
@@Natalien-l6wthat is unacceptable, an iPhone shouldn’t last longer than a tv.
Thankyou! I am getting one for my husband for Christmas! This was so informative. Thumbs up!!
Watching this on the LG C4 I bought 3 months ago. I switched from a 2020 4K LED and it is definitely a worth decision.
I also think the sound is not as what you expected from this kind of TV, but I’ve been using Sony soundbar since my last TV anyway.
مرحبا ياصديقي..هل فعلا صوت الحوار سيء في شاشة G4 و C4؟؟
وهل الساوند بار سيحل المشكله ام لا؟؟
@@ابوايمن-س7ر well I think it's pretty good and clear. Maybe I'm just so used to hearing TV with soundbar, with better driver and bass
I can’t wait to receive my C4 on Saturday, also bought G1 sound bar !!! Very nice review..
Let us know what you think of it
Hows the soundbar?
My old HT in Pennsylvania was based around a 65" Panasonic Plasma. I purchased that TV in 2009. I can say, at the time, the picture was incredible. Then I began to notice how the blacks were gray. Spring forward, we moved to East Texas in 2020. I crated the plasma and brought it with us. I remembered seeing the first OLED display on the checkout counter at Best Buy Magnolia. It was breathtaking and only like a 15" screen. Now I'm finishing the build out of our new HT. The plasma is still in the crate. I just bought this 83" C4. Haven't even gotten it out of the box. Really excited. The plasma will find a home in the shop.
Great video.. thanks!
I recently bought the LG C3 55 inch tv. I love it, it's an excellent tv. I don't quite get that "magic motion" feature on the remote. Not sure if I missed out on much by not buying the most recent model but I got a very good deal, and Amazon delivered to my apt., unboxed, set up and turned on the set for $30. I am happy I bought this tv with it's amazing picture!
You bought at the right time. The C3 65 and 77 isn't available where I am now.
I just upgraded from a 1080p 3D 120hz Vizio LCD from about 10-ish years ago that I got from Circuit city when they were still around. My new C4 arrives in a few days and I can't wait to see the difference! I mainly just use my Computer monitors for all my games and TV but decided I wanted to have one large screen on the side for true immersion into (some) games, and movies. Thanks for helping me decide!
So how are you liking it? I have a Vizio M551d from around 2013 and I really wanna go for it.
@ absolutely love it. It’s so bright the bright scenes actually hurt. The step up was insane from the old LCD to this is insane. It’s also great for gaming, and made me realize I might need to get a smaller one for my flight and racing sims.
@ good to hear. Guess all signs are pointing to upgrade!
I just bought a 65" C3 a month ago. I think any improvements or enhancements weren't worth the extra $900 they wanted for the C4. I'm not disappointed at all nor do I regret my decision.
I bought a 55" C3 a month ago and it is amazing. I suspect the C4 is marginally better, but I got an amazing deal on the C3. The HDR feels amazing compared with my 5 year old LED TV. The picture is superb. No regrets at all 😁
I also bought my C3 65"about a month+ ago. Ive been waiting for my eye to get used to how awesome the picture looks to where I dont notice it, yet I am still constantly aware of how incredible the picture is. I was actually wondering what his thought would be on the difference between the C3 and C4. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of the difference?
Get the C2 instead. Thanks God bless you. Pick up a nice BDI stand for that old C3.
The C4 can actually hit 1000nits peak brightness which is sort of like a milestone when it comes to HDR standards. C3 gets up to about 820 ISH. In real world content I don't know if you'll notice massive differences but it is a significant boost on paper. So I can understand the premium they are charging
@@markholmes1158 same, I couldn't beat $500 for a new 55" C3
I'm still rocking a C2 and I love it.
Hey! I’m thinking about getting a C4, but I came across some comments about burning pixels in OLED TVs. Have you had any experiences with your TV that you'd be willing to share? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Just got a PS5 Pro and am now looking to upgrade from my TCL Roku TV from 2020 and this TV was recommended by IGN for the PS5 Pro. The price and quality were the most appealing factors and now this review leaves me knowing that I'll have no regrets. With Black Friday just two weeks away I'm hoping to save some money on one but will be getting one either way. Thanks!
It's funny we're in the the exact same predicament, I even have a roku tv lol. This tv I'm def gonna buy
@@Falco-Lombardisame here. I’m even considering the G4 if it drops in price tomorrow. If not may have to be the c4
Recently picked one of these up for merely the cost of my Best Buy protection plan. My C9 from 2019 had the most minor burn in possible (and only under certain colors) so they exchanged it for me.
Pretty nice upgrade overall. Though I will say the cost cutting is obvious when you compare it to the C9 (C9 has a huge stand, more inputs, better remote, attractive backside with finish, sits lower, better power button) I'm ok with all that because I know the tech/panel is cutting edge and the 144Hz was a nice bonus. Best monitor ever.
I've got the C9, But the upper side of the panel just become off-white(the pixles are off) . And my warranty just passed so i need to buy a new one. do you recommend the C4 ? cuz I'm not shore I wannna stay with LG.
@@sheqse Sounds like panel lotto to me, but upgrading to the current model was the easiest choice I've ever made and frankly saved me a ton of time.
There was a comparable Sony model for a bit more, but they aren't as good for PC/gaming use. Just get the C4 open box or not from best buy with the 5 year plan and use the hell out of it.
Also don't forget a lot of other companies will be using this same LG panel anyway.
@@rushnerd ok, good to hear that ! I think nowadays a TV is not supposed to last ten years like it used to be.
@@sheqsei don’t tbh. It’s a shame it’s 2024 n burn in is still an issue
@@jissanhuq3792 It's not a burn issue. it's an another issue with panel.
Hey Caleb, the C4 even looks good on my phone. I agree with you It does look like a TV everyone could be happy with.😊
Such high praise when you say it's the tv everyone should have. Thanks for the review!
Got it today and i can tell you its sick so good. NO green what people saying from the side. Type 46la benelux model europa.
So true! I fell in love with The C4 at P.C. Richards tonight. I have an LG OLED from either ‘21 or ‘22. 55”. Love it. The older one is going upstairs to Dad whom is using up a very old Samsung LED tv that looks like Coke cans are all over the screen.😂 I can’t wait to see His reaction when He sees what an OLED looks like. I’ll have My C4 on Thursday! Can’t wait! Great review!

Thanks to the LG C4/G4 the C3 model got a huge price cut and pulled the trigger. This is my first Oled TV and...my God, I just can't go back to LCD lol. One of the best purchases EVER!
I'm watching my 65" Bravia as I type this (it's my Classic Mac Pro's external monitor), and a few weeks ago, I was at Andres Electronics and the OLEDs were DEF at another level of quality!

I have been using an LG C1 48" OLED as my PC monitor for over 3 years now. It gets a LOT of use as I work from home doing IT work and I PC game. I haven't put much effort into preventing burn-in other than setting my PC to turn the screen off after being idle for 15 minutes. I have not noticed ANY burn-in yet. I don't even notice any temporary image retention with this TV. Burn-in really doesn't seem to much of an issue with the last several generations. I have had the LG C8 OLED 55" model since 2018 and even that has zero burn-in after all this time. That one was my main TV and is now my bedroom TV. It's seen hundreds of hours of console gaming and kids shows with bright static logos. Very happy with both my LG OLED's. The only gripe is with the older C8 image processing doing absolutely horrendous with panning shots. And the HDMI audio signal was often out of sync with soundbar. But my C1 I use as a PC monitor has been flawless, though I don't use audio on or through that one at all.
Not the best price ever, but I found a 48" C4 at Costco. I bought the TCL QM8 75" for the living room from best buy in Feb, but wanted a nice smaller tv for the bedroom. Wanted a 55" but the 48" was $700 with included 3 year warranty and the 55" was like $1300 or something like that. I actually like both my TV's having really good, but uniquely different pictures. LG looks crisp as hell. Perfect for night time movies. I will say the tcl UI and remote is superior overall. Have to train my brain on the different remotes, but the lg doesn't light up and I have a harder time feeling the buttons. All the money went into the wii pointer functionality
Funny side story, the 48" barely fit in the trunk in my tiny Subaru 2nd gen BRZ (one of the smallest cars on the market). I ended up bending the trunk frame by the rubber weatherstripping gasket a bit, and tearing the gasket. Oops. I ended up slowly shimmying it little by little from the inside. Didn't notice till I went to close the trunk. I had to cut the box open from inside, and carry it out of the car, to prevent bending the thin aluminum more. I was upset but also laughing at the absurdity of it. People at the costco parking lot and even my neighbors coming home were like "wtf". Only time I've ever needed a bigger car, is when I am buying TV's 😂
BDI's prices make me wonder, should I buy an entertainment center or a car for the same price
Obviously the entertainment center. It will be around a lot longer than any car at the same price! 😍
@@bdifurniture Read the room dawg lol
Of all the reviews, both positive and negative, this one stands true. Took the plunge and couldn't be happier. Went from a 2019 Samsung LED and am absolutely blown away. OLED is a game changer! Our TV is perpendicular to a north facing sliding glass door and faces another window. Have always struggled with glare and viewing angles. This LG C4 is plenty bright enough and crystal clear in all lighting conditions. Glare is no longer a distraction, and we have not had to pull our blinds shut a single time! Set the picture to Expert Bright Space Daytime and Energy Saving Off and that's it! We have a soundbar, but without, the TV audio is not as terrible as expected, especially in AI Sound Pro mode. Even if OLED wears out in time, I hope this LG will still outlast our past two Samsung TVs. Have always been a Samsung person but their quality and reliability have gone downhill. That said, we have two Samsungs from 2009 that are still going strong. Only time will tell in this 'built to fail' generation. Thank you, Digital Trends, for a dependable review!
Samsung has good customer service! I had an issue with a 43" and they fixed it promptly no charge! I forgot what the issue was as it was about 20 years ago.
I have the 77” OLED77C9PUB and love this TV. Didn’t love the price I paid but it’s a solid performer for sure.
I picked up a 65" LG C4 a few days ago and it has the green tint. I think this issue is more common than people realize. I even checked the display model at the local store and it had the same issue. The salesman called it color degradation and acted like it was normal. Try pausing a picture with faces and lighter background colors and walk to the side and see what it does to the picture. It looks fine when viewing it straight on if that's all you need.
The new firmware update fixed that. Just take the warm 45 setting and you're perfect
@@marvinmeyer2366 is this confirmed? read somewhere that the gaming brightness was also resolved in an update?
@@marvinmeyer2366can you elaborate on this?
@@marvinmeyer2366 Is there an official statement on that or is that just from your experience?
Just bought my C4 today, looked at every severe angle and NO green tint whatsoever. Difficult to say what others are seeing.
Just bought this today waiting for delivery. I’m very excited, considering my current tv I bought it in 2010
I have a 65" LG CX from 2020. How much has the picture quality changed from then? Are these newer models that much different?
C3 seems like a viable alternative especially with concern for green tint at angled viewing. Anyone else have thoughts about the two or green tint? (not a gamer)
green tint is real I bought a 48 c4 returned it off angle bad green tint
I just bought this tv it got delivered yesterday. I had a LG L.e.d that was 4 years old this December. Only had a few hours with this but all looks good 👍
I got C4 almost two months ago and i love it.
Does it have the green tint at viewing angles as said on Rtings?
@@Buzza235 Mine doesn't have any green tint.
I've had a CX for a few years. I love it. I went from a samsung QLED which was great when i got it and still good now, but the OLED is so much nicer
Just bought this 2 weeks ago. It's a very good improvement over my old LG CX. Using CX daily and updating the correct settings on this made it instantly noticeable, especially the brightness for HDR content. Its a lot brighter than im used to but its solid for day time HDR movies aswell. Gaming mode is a lot brighter than CX and feels more sharp and detailed
Interesting! I actually just posted a question about comparing these new C4's to the CX from 2020. I have a 65" CX. Sounds like in your experience, it's a pretty noticeable difference.
@TheMNbassHunter Yeah even though you see the constant 'its not as bright as the G series' It is noticeably brighter than CX for games and movies too. I need to put the brightness down at times when watching HDR stuff at night. Its 1000 nits of brightness. The image quality is definitely better. Its an updated chip from the CX. Overall very happy with it as an upgrade to my CX. I had the CX for around 4 years
I have a lg c9 and just got approved for a Best Buy store credit to get a new tv, should I go with the c4, g3 or g4?
Bought LG C4 83 inch today, waiting for delivery. Have LG B1 55 inch from before. Its gonna be awesome 😊 Hopefully 98 inch oleds will be affordble in not so many years.
Glad for your timely review! Planning on my 65 inch - 2020 LG CX replacement later in the fall. My daughter’s family wants the CX even with 14,000 hours on it. The replacement C4 though will be an upgrade to 77 inches which will be a better fit given the room it will be situated in now that I have experienced the 65 inch size.
Question: Did you see any “green tint” - off angle - as noted by RTINGS or is that something LG got fixed with their strong product support updates?
Bought a PS5 pro today and this TV and let me tell you the upgrade it amazing
I just ordered mine today! Can't wait to get it!! 🎉
Would you go with an LG C4 or G4 if you watch TV 10 hours a day ( shows news, sports, movies) and the news channels 3 hours a day. Concerned about burn in issues and longevity...
Ordered today. 83” version. Very excited. Moving up from a 2018 70” Vizio LED.
I will def buy LG , got myself a Samsung S95B a year and half ago and have not been happy with it from day one. My parents LG C1 just seems to have something that the Samsung lacks , maybe it’s the processing, the LG picture signature is more appealing to me even though mine is technically more advanced with the QDOLED technology.
Been contemplating to buy a new TV for the living room. Like you mentioned in your review, if we are coming from an older tv 5 years ago then this a substantial upgrade. I might just pull the trigger. I am coming from an old Sony X900F we bought in 2018. its still a great tv and I'm happy it lasted this long. I'm excited to see the improvements from that to something new.
i would love to see it stack up to the S90D in 83 inched since it a woled
Thanks for this review! I have been researching TV’s and finally pulled the trigger on this one. Am super excited cause my current TV is a 2015 LG LED. It was well over due for an upgrade. Spent more money then I wanted to but think it will be worth it as I wanted an Oled that was decently bright and good quality. I am a fan of the LG brand as well.
so are you satisfied? I ordered a 65C4 for €1199 today
As you said sir, I’m coming from a Sony X900H LED 4K TV from 4 years ago. This is a great upgrade for me. Got the C4 65 in just yesterday. Love it!
65C4 €1199 ordered today
I had the x900H too!!
Had the S90D n it kept dying ….
So now I’m up to C4
You released this just as I was about to buy this TV! Perfect timing- thank you! FYI, in my region the S90D is about $500-600 more expensive.
I have a B9 from 2019 currently in a 65”… I’m looking at the C4 in a 77” model.
Would I really notice a huge upgrade by making this purchase…?
I bought the 48 inch version of this one. I got a great sale price at Costco of $1100. I actually use it on my desk as a monitor with the black background documents literally look like they’re floating in air. I do have my Apple TV and Xbox also hooked into it. Very happy post purchase satisfaction.
I use my C1 for over 30 months already. It is a great PC monitor. No sign of burn-in.
Great review! Sounds like you're a Roku and Apple TV fan. Have you had a go with the Nvidia Shield? I've abandoned my Roku's for the Shield on all my TV's.

I've been watching the C3 as well. Maybe I need to visit the actual store to get the best deals.
@@diamatronytsame here. The website shows them at $3,299.99 so unless you go in store, you won’t find that price.
@@GFDthatsMe no you didn't
I was about to buy the 77" C4, but luckily I was able to see it running in a store in my town, I didn't like the greenish tint when I viewded it from angles, meaning you can tell as soon as you move away from the center.
Instead, I got 77" C3 , it looks amazing and doesn't have that greenish tint problem.
I know C4 have some new and better features, but I was able to save some money and there aren't huge diferences between the two models.
need some advice. Coming from a 2018 65'" c8. Moving a to a bigger condo (2x the size) corner unit with a lot more sunlight. I don't find my current c8 dim but it could be brighter in sdr. Considering either a 77 G4 or settle for a C4. I use a shield pro to consume my content 95% in SDR. Not sure which one to get but I know i'm loyal to LG.
If brightness is a concern go ahead and get the G4.
The TV you have and the c-series are honestly basically the same TV
Sure you're getting "different generation panel", put the changes by the panel manufacturer year to year are very small.
It essentially be getting the same TV and personally if you're spending $2,000 I'd rather have something with a real improvement and not just better processing
The g4 has MLA so there's legitimately something that was changed and improved.
Also idk if you know about the 113111 code, but you can really juice up the look of SDR content using that menu with your shield pro.
You can make sdr MUCH brighter and more colorful by forcing it into HLG mode.
Whats a good mid-range soundbar for this model?
Just got a 65-inch on sale at Best Buy for 1699 yesterday. Coming from a 65-inch Vizio p series qantum. I can say I'm astounded at the quality difference, screen uniformity, and the sound!! Oled is the way to go.
Go back and get a price adjustment. It’s now on sale for $1,499.99.
I’m going to upgrade from a 65” B6 that I paid almost double for in 2017.
I bought the 77inch for 2300 best deal of my life😂😂😂😂
As the other guys said you need to ring best buy to get $200 back from them as it's now 1499. I did the same thing today for the C4 that arrived 3 or 4 days ago.
I have a lg nanocell 8k TV that is about 5 years old, trying to decide whether to get the c4. Is it worth it?
Are WOLEDs getting any more Colorful? Haven’t WOLED tech been Maxed out just yet since like 2022?
you can still increase color volume .Probably without new materials it will be hard for WOLED and QD-OLED to improve their Rec 2020 scores, Both these techs and LCD can produce lovely bright , saturated colors.But it's the hues ( wavelengths ) that are missing. Most content except cartoons, games not affected , unless a TV boosts spread for you, Real life examples really colorful sunsets, rainbows, prisms, emeralds, sapphires, iridescent insect wings, oil spills, some exotic plants and some burning metals .
So Rec 2020 increases color graduations ie hues, I think violets are hard to reproduce from memory.
Again made be moot if watch old technicolor movies, or if your color vision is so so. I always find it funny old audiophiles worrying about high treble, when they can't hear it - they are lucky to still hear 16-17000 hertz let alone 22 0000.
In isolation all these TVs are colorful, you won't know what you are missing, if don't have a S95D right next to be for specific content . LG C series sells well as most people are really happy . Most people also love big screen Hisense. TCL 85' -100" monsters .
To put it in perspective a C4 if released 3 years ago , would be raved about as the greatest TV ever - no MLA , no QD-OLED . Content has never looked so good , this is the nearly the perfect TV !!!

Still undecided if best 65" and wait 4 years to go big , or just get the best 83" next year. Money is not an issue for me, which I am grateful for , but I won't pay a silly price for say B10 83" ( ie a Sony QD-OLED 83" if it comes next year ) , as TVs will be getting better for another 10 years at least . But I know a C4 83" is really good enough to buy and just enjoy ( I watch in darken room )
Why does this only have WiFi 5?
Costco’s version has WiFi 6e.
Plus an NFC remote.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
What prior year flagship LG TV is the C4 most complimentary to?
Last year you said you'd do a video on HDR10 v. Dolby Vision video given that Samsung doesn't include it, so I hope when you review the S90D you revisit this topic. Ultimately I know it won't be a deal breaker either way, but outside of Vincent Teoh's video no one has covered this topic much & I'm still interested in your take on it.
Excellent review!!!
I would love to see a comparison of the LG OLEDs over the years. I have a 77" CX, and want to know which one I should upgrade to.....which is the best bang for buck and why? Just higher brightness or?
I have a OLED55C7P-U from 2017. We had lots of Problems from the start...the panel had to be replaced due to a software glitch with pixel refresher after approximately 4 months...I made LG cover the new panel and not Best Buy as that would destroy my 5 year Warranty. So lastly after about 4 years with the C7, we had heavy screen burn...in particular with Magenta colors. Fulfilled my warranty and wondering if I should get this one? No more analog input, so I'll have to get a cheapy one from Amazon. Burn in is a big factor, but OLED is gorgeous.
Is it better than the A80J, thinking about an upgrade
Between the 83 inch LG C4 on sale for $4,000 and the 83 inch LG G3 on sale for $4,700, which would you recommend. Thanks you in advance and I appreciate and enjoy all your content!
My LGC1 Broke so I’m getting the C4 for pretty much free love the Best Buy warranty
Thanks for the review. I picked up a 48" C4 at my local costco for 699.97! Very happy with that deal and the TV xD
Got this deal too. Wish they stocked or carried the 42in for a similar price. I literally could not let the 699 48in deal pass up, I think these will be sought after in a few years and retain their value. Basically got a 1200 tv for 700, with 3 year warranty. Win!
What's your viewing distance with this size tv?
@@wobble108 its my monitor. maybe 2.5ft if i had to eyeball a guess
how did you get this deal?
@@hammond5315 My Costco was selling it at that price.
Thank you Caleb, I really value your reviews and enjoy your style. Could you please do a comparison of the LG C4 to the Samsung S90D soon? I’ve narrowed my shopping choices to these two and would love to hear your thoughts.
How would you compare this with repeat to Bravia 7? Would you recommend this for a well lit room.
Nice review. I like that,"You should get it," so I probably will. I'm sold Caleb.
As fate would have it, I was in BB today and had an hour to kill. So off to LG tv land I went. C4 on top. G4 on the bottom. IMHO there was a quite noticeable difference. More saturation but more importantly, a depth I couldn’t put my finger on. Not 3D level but depth nonetheless. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Damnitall 😂
I've currently got a 4K 120Hz NANO85UNA 49" TV from 2020 or 2021, and this looks like a great upgrade
i have found the LG C4 1700 and the G4 2000 now that they have discounts for Black Friday. is it worth spending that extra 300 for the G4 ?
God yes! Much more brightness in HDR, no dimming in game mode, new gen MLA panel, new processor, better motion handling, better picture definition, better out of the box color calibration and 5 year exclusive panel warranty .
Caleb, which one do you pick? 77" C4 or G3?!
G3 for sure
If the price is the same, G3 for sure.
G3
G3.
He would choose G3, no doubt.
The lack of a 3.0 tuner is a problem for those who get local news and sports via antenna particularly if they're in a fringe or multipath area. It also offers 1080P instead of 720 on Fox & ABC. This and that I got a 65" A80CL delivered for 1499 with 5 year warranty is why I went with Sony. Also the better processing and Netflix calibrated mode.
@@randyduncan795 You could just get a set top box?
@@markholmes1158 Already have that. But that's another box and another remote. This shouldn't be necessary for a 2024 TV when plenty 2023 TVs had 3.0 tuners. Sony, Hisense, etc..
I bought this TV and traded it for a S90D and it was a huge mistake! I hate the remote! And I'm use to the Samsung and everyone talked the S90D up. The C4 is not good out of the box and takes about 4 weeks to break in. It also took me a lot of tweeking to get the picture to look optimal, but once I did.... the C4 is incredibly beautiful, vibrant and plenty bright. The motion on the C4 is so much better than the S90D and the C4 dominates the S90D in standard definition. Over the air t.v. and other stuff in SD looks great on the C4, and pretty bad to awful on the S90D. I could go on and on, but the S90D is more vivid in UHD stuff and the speakers sound better. But the C4 is better in every other way.... except that horrible remote!
I had the S90D haha n it kept dying on me
So now I’m getting C4
I have a BDI console and love it!!
Thank you!
How is the SDR Game Mode brightness? Did you measure the nits?
Picked this TV over this years TCL QM8 and have zero regrets, once you experience OLED nothing else matches up.
Naw you need both
I own an LG OLED B7 (65") from 2017, how big of a difference should I expect with a fresh OLED like the LG C4?
Regarding burn-in: I have a UA-cam logo burnt in in the upper right corner from the UA-cam app on the TV.
I've had the LG C1 Oled for almost three years now, but is the C4 a worthy enough upgrade? Will I notice a wow factor from the C1 750 ish nits to the C4 hdr/sdr brightness? I'm mostly always in a dark room btw
I was at the local Best Buy here in Canada and was comparing C3 vs Bravia 8. I am a big fan of Sony and was almost disappointed C3 looked so good. Problem was, they were out of stock since it’s a last year’s model and C4 was more expensive than Bravia 8. This morning, or should I say 15 min ago I checked the new prices, and C4 is now on even better sale than Bravia 8 making it cheaper than Sony. Came here to check on your review and really appreciate it. With the BB warranty, I don’t mind not getting LG’s 5 year panel protection as I should be covered by BB warranty. I found C3 to have better connectivity than Sony and TV just looks spectacular. This will be my first LG TV ever and I am hoping built quality and longevity will not disappoint. I am coming from a 9 year old Samsung 8 series 4K led tv and I am sure this will be a major upgrade. Any LG or TV nerds, please feel free to confuse me even more if I should not worry about the purchasing of a LG TV or if Sony Bravia 8 is still a better panel.
C4 is better than the Bravia 8 and I’m a Sony fan lol
Quick update, BB made me a great deal on G4. I am on the second panel now, just got it yesterday after getting a faulty panel, and guess what, new one has burned pixels, like a whole thin line running along the right hand side of the screen. I think there’s an issue with quality control on LGs side and I will be returning it purchasing the Sony.
Love when Caleb posts a video about a tv I'm researching!
Still using my C9 65 inch from years past. Looking good. Not sure why but every now and then it does shut off especially on Startup.
Honestly I think you should totally skip audio as part of these reviews. It's 2024 and if you're buying a TV this nice, you should have a soundbar paired with it at the minimum. Even if it's wall mounted, you can hang a soundbar to the TV mount below the screen easily.
Truth. Anyone buying this TV most likely knows they are buying the best looking TV on the market and isn't going skimp on the audio.
i have the 65 lg c9 from 2019 with Hdmi 2.1 and eArc support. Looks perfect and no burn in at all. I have zero interest in a new tv.. but I always wondered if someone was to swap mine with in this case this new C4.. would I notice the difference? Mine still looks perfect. I'm only thinking maybe I would notice the difference if they were side by side with some HDR content where there should be some brightness difference? But non HDR content would look identical I'm thinking. My 2019 also just got a software update that appears to be the same as the new ones.
I have a 55C9 with Sonos Beam and it has been outstanding with +5000 hrs (no gaming). The 55C9 started out as the main TV and now moved to Master bedroom duties. Notice it is a little slower to boot-up streaming services like Netflix/Paramount+ compared to my 77C1; but, both performs and look exactly the same once the show starts. One big advantage the 77" has over my 55" is being able to sit further back for the same resolution to my eyes with the larger screen.
@@mrgold3591 Awesome good to hear.. kinda confirms what I was thinking. I guess the only upgrade that I would notice is a larger one :) .. if my living area would allow it I'd probably do it.
I had mine 65 inch for 6 months and for watching movies only. Already an big burn in on the left side. LG only replies pixel cleaning. What about warrenty.
You’re in the 1 year warranty period though, shouldn’t it be honored?
What would you choose between a c4 and a g3, given that they have a similar price now?
Just bought the 77inch for 2300€ its amazing!!!!! Best deal of my life🎉
Where did you Buy ? Online store? Looking to get an 83” C4 before Christmas ( I’m in Europe ) thanks
Bought this for black fri and man oh man i felt like i was shorting myself all these yrs. My problem with cheap tvs i could never see in dark scenes such like a forest scene or cave it would be washed out. With this tv my gooooooodness i can see everything bro. Its crispy buy this tv if you were thinking about it. 🎉
