8:50 the c3 clearly has a better darker glass compared to c4. First thing i noticed after i got my c4 was how light the room reflected smudging the contrast out
I'm thinking about getting a 83C4, but this you mention, is it correct?, is the C4 not so dark glossy as previous Oleds? I own both an 48C3 and 77CX6 and those screens are absolutely black, even during the day when you turn on the TV you can feel that wow effect with the LG logo and rest of tv absolutely black. So you are saying under sunlight conditions contrast is kind of washed and pure black perception. That can be really seen on the video, 8:40
I just bought 65 inch C4 for only 100 EUR more than C3. There was a discount and 400 EUR cashback. Great TV, no dead pixels, minimal DSE on 5% grey. Very pleased with it. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Slovakia :)
I just bought a 65" C4 last week, after my 6 year old LG 55" decided to go "black", I actually watched your unboxing of the C4 65' before I got mine, and was suitably impressed, but seeing it in real life, is SO much better. I would think that unless you had them side by side, you couldn't tell the difference. So I'm hoping for many years of viewing pleasure, and thanks for your reviews..... A little message from Australia :)
I saw the C3 and C4 side by side and I went with the C3. Why? Because besides the C4 being only slightly brighter there was no difference to my 2020 vision. My C3 replaced my legendary C1 and I couldnt be happier. I am good to go for the next few years now. My concentration has now moved to upgrading my Surround Sound system and eventually getting a PS5. Great video Paul.
Hey, Steve I have the C1 65inch lg oled tv, and was looking into the c3, what difference have you noticed between the two? And what caused you to change the TV?
I ended up getting a 42" C3 yesterday for dirt cheap new. After researching the C4 for a few days, I couldn't justify paying several hundred dollar difference for a marginally better image processor, marginally brighter screen, and 144hz. I don't game competitively and my PS5 only outputs at 120hz anyway so the C3 is sufficient and look absolutely amazing.
Not true at all. They went from 600 to 800 nits in the smaller models. The 55 C4 has about 900 to 1100 nits. Improvements across the board. Keep in mind that all 32 OLEDs are only 450 nits in a 10% window.
We just ordered the C3 77 on Amazon prime sale. I saw this tv at local Costco store and it looks great. It looks same as the c4 to my 55 yr eyes and it's about $1000 less, so it was easy decision to get c3. Ours arrives this Saturday. I'm almost more anxious about the shipping and delivery and if it arrives in perfect condition 😂. Very excited for movie nights
I don't comment on UA-cam, very rarely. I really liked this vid because you could say the pinkish colour is what it looked like when you were recording it and seeing it in real life. no one else has the real life injected into the tv comparisons. Really good review thank you, making my life easier on what tv to treat myself too
How is the brightness in game mode on the LG C4 in Game Optimizer mode? And does switching to different picture modes help the the brightness when Gaming ?
@@Setzer777 yeah the deal I got was too good to turn down. I will say though other than the size difference the C9 really holds it's own. There was no real need for the upgrade.
@@MikeDelta32 Yeah the C series hasn't really changed much over the years. I mainly did it to get a bigger TV and it was a pretty good deal. I would have gone with the 77" G4 but it wasn't within my budget.
I bought a brand new Samsung S95C OLED 65” 2023 model in April. New Samsung S95D has anti reflective screen and costs £1000 more. TVs are like phones now small benefits and big price increases. I’d always buy last years model. Most people would never notice the difference other than their bank balance😂😂
The C4 is visibly brighter in SDR content, even more so in HDR. This may not be a good video to see the difference. Also, to see the difference, the video must be viewed in HDR
Cause there's no more proper reviews mate, no one wants to be black balled by the tech companies for speaking the truth. This is why TG's way (getting loan TV from 3rd party) is best cause he can speak the truth.
The C4 can hit 1,000 nits but only on small specular highlights otherwise with larger areas of brightness the panel will be much more similar to the C3 as can be seen in your personal 4K HDR footage. Where the difference will be more noticeable is in night scenes with lights where the C4 would be brighter for things like street lights and fireworks etc, anything that is small in size which allows the panel to up the brightness without ABL (automatic brightness level) kicking it to prevent screen burn-in. I opted for the 55" C3 at £949 from Richer Sounds knowing the C4 was a bit brighter but do not feel paying twice the price for a TV (the C4 was £1,800 at the time), that is only brighter some of the time, was worth the extra. Also, without a side by side comparison I would never know anyway and I still cannot tell from your video so I don't feel any sense of buyer's remorse. I love the C3. It is a noticeable upgrade over my 2019 LG B9 in terms of image quality with brighter HDR and SDR plus a slick new user interface and much faster menus. I could not be happier. The C4 has no new features this year, just a slightly brighter image, and a different design on the back of the TV as well a slightly tweaked 2024 WebOS. The C3 had least was an upgrade over the C2 as it had DTS audio passthrough reinstated which was removed at some point after the 2019 TVs as my LG B9 supported DTS. The lack of DTS was the reason I did not upgrade my B9 sooner. In my opinion, you should only buy a current year TV once it has been out a while and has been discounted, such as on Black Friday. By then it will have also had several firmware updates to iron out bugs. It really makes no sense to buy any new TV on release. At best, these are usually iterative improvements over the previous years models anyway and that is certainly the case with the C4.
C3 all the way got it in 65 inch. C4 is not different a lot and barely no comparison videos. You’re honest atleast .So have Samsung sc90 in living room 1 living room c3 . Very happy :) won’t change for a while now
So you have Samsung S90C and LG C3? Which is better overall with ups along and motion when watching movies and regular television shows in your opinion?

@@cherylsmith2285I keep hearing good stuff about QD-OLED gen 2. Most people are saying get the s90c over lg c4 because better colors and better brightness
@@TheTechGiantUA-cam Oh, ok. Meanwhile, otherwise, my seating angle is not that severe so I likely would not even see it then.

But this green shade happens in the c3 too, it's not something from the c4 it's common in woled panels and it happens from the c1 some even having the pinkish tone just search in forums. In this regard, the two are equal and vary from unit to unit, a problem that rtings put as if it were something only from c4 and it is not
Great comparison! I have a 2017 55" C7, the software side of things is incredibly slow so almost for that alone I want to upgrade to a 65" C4. How much better is the picture quality from the C7?
What about gaming if running off a PC. Many folks are interested in these TV's because they offer gaming specs that you won't find on other models, it's kind of been one of their selling points...You're thoughts?
Picked up the 55" C3 from John Lewis with 5 year guarantee for £935. Got USC9S soundbar with sub, made to go with C Series TV's for less than half price - £489 from Peter Tyson with 6 year guarantee. £1,424 for what I'm hoping will be a decent set up.
Bought the c3 recently and it's epic. Oled for life definitely. I moved on from a Samsung qn90a that bombed out after 2yrs and only being used 2to3 hrs a day if even. Oled is the way definitely, especially for gamers and no real gamers jams a bright room.
I got to tell you,I recently purchased a magnetar 800 4k player,and after owning the oppo and the reavon I went to my dealer to organise a demo.i have an 83 inch c1 at home,which I am still very happy with,and they used a 77 m3 oled,which is basically a g3 except wireless, I thought I could see quite a big difference in brightness on certain hdr discs,but when they suggested I demo it at home on my c1 so I could judge whether it was the tv or the player, I have to say that on my 83 c1 the images from the magnetar looked brighter and punchier and I was surprised thar it was far less to do with the different tvs and more to do with the source. It's my conclusion that over the last few years the pq differences on consumer oleds is very marginal, and after seeing it myself first hand ,the brightness differences are very over hyped,especially if you watching in dark room,if anything last years g3 looked alot more processed if anything, even after turning all that stuff off.
Hi! Please make a review for C4 the 48" OLED LG TV. It's cheaper and for small rooms. I want to buy it buuuut some users complain that the 48" version smels bad from the eco/plastics/materials inside. Is it true? Also the picture quality is not the same as 65" version. The smell won't come off after several weeks of usage. Maybe here in RO 🇷🇴 LG sells different TVs...which is very sad...
Hey qick question lads i had c3 & thought it was outstanding. however problem i had was randomy aftter tv been off over nite it was stuck on same preset pitcher mood i had it on the nite before when i changed it it would select the difrent mood like from standerd to cinema but the actual pitcher on tv wouldnt change currys had no clure it happened with 2 c3 tvs & ended up with sony x95l wich i love now
I have had c1,c2 and g3. They are all great tvs, the c1 and c2 have the advantage that you can easily disable TPC and GSR in the service menu which is a big plus if you use them as a monitor. The g3 is brighter and looks very good on the wall.
@@freddy19985 thanks for that, on the fence whether to keep the C1 as I thinks it's still fantastic, would love a side by side on the C1/C4, apart from brightness would there really be a huge difference
@@BuffaloBill-pt9ns It wouldn't be a massive upgrade, I would suggest wait till the c4 is on sale. Or wait for the C5. If you had an older tv it would be a different story.
@@freddy19985 thanks for the replies it's appreciated, think I will do just that and wait for the c5 or sale on C4, had the C1 2 years now and as said it's fantastic when playing 4k HDR or ps5 games @120, just can't see the difference being night and day on the latest models, but happy to be told im wrong
@thetechgiantyoutube Great video. I went for the C4 when I upgraded after watching your videos. Can you tell me if its bad in your opinion to have the OLED brightness always at 100%? Out of the box it was at 80%
I’m pretty sure it’s fine. Most TVs come with Eco settings on/brightness lowered. And anyways the wouldn’t let you turn it up if it wasn’t safe, but it never hurts to keep brightness only as high as you need.
I did have a G3 in my living room but it broke down like 4 times in about 6 months. The store was so lovely they refunded me in full and put my CX back in my living room. Ordered a 48" C3 for my gaming room with the same store and that works great so far. Got a super deal on the C3 of around 669 euro (open box model but 100% sealed and a peal on it). Made my choice easy to not go for the C4 this year. Perhaps will jump on the G4 train for the living room hope I have more luck with it else I am doomed to just let the CX stand in the livingroom.
Hey Paul, love your reviews as always! I have an lgcx and a c2 is the c4 worth upgrading my CX? I use it for the majority of my gaming on a ps5 and Xbox series X. Should I wait for a bigger upgrade? I love both so just wanted your opinion on upgrading. Thank you as always, and keep up the great work you do for us!
I have another question for you or perhaps for the community. I’m experiencing an issue with my LG OLED C3 where the AirPlay feature across all Apple devices doesn’t seem to display properly. Whenever I open the Photos app and try to send a photo or video to the TV via AirPlay, the C3 switches to Dolby Vision mode, causing the picture or video to appear washed out, overly bright, and overexposed. Even the black borders, where there’s no content, appear gray 😮. In my opinion, it shouldn’t switch to Dolby Vision mode when I’m just trying to view a JPEG on the OLED 🤷🏻♂️, since it’s not an HDR format. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I’ve tested it on several C3 models, and they all had the same problem. This could likely be fixed with a software update. My LG OLED C1 displays all content from the Photos app on my Apple devices correctly and doesn’t switch to Dolby Vision mode during AirPlay. Could you please help me with this? I’d really appreciate it 🙏🏼. Best regards,Jason Maddox
The very subtle diffrences could be down to manufacturing tollerances and the factory calibration if there was any. This years models are not showing enough of an improvement to justify the higher prices., and that applies to all brands. A new SoC is due for the 2025 models, this may give the better performance that we crave for. If you can't wait, buy a 2023 model
Very little of an upgrade in the C4. Given the substantial price cuts on the C3, it's the only way to go IMHO. I've not had any pink tinging on my C3, but I do get green hints on skin tones sometimes.
S90c better oled like they say? Just get on UA-cam and you will see everyone saying QD-OLED is better than normal woled. Kinda strange because it's only put out like that because we are speaking s90c vs lgc4. But if it's g4 vs s95d people are saying g4 is the better tv with more 3d pop
My C4 has already had a new display fitted free of charge I might add. due to screen burn, I have not watched all this video but it needs stating that any oled will suffer screen burn if you play the same game for hours on end like many do. I game for a living so many hours are spent gaming, no matter what they say about pixel shift etc to prevent burn it will occur. For low to average use of gaming then yes they are great but long periods of gaming is still a no no on any oled. I now use this for tv only and stick to my Samsung neo geo for gaming.
I bought a Samsung S90C 77” a couple weeks ago. I was going back and forth between it and the LG C3 but went with the Samsung for the QD OLED panel and brightness. I like the television for 4K HDR but it actually looks worse than my 10 year old Samsung 4k it replaced as far as upscaling older movies and standard television shows. I also cannot get the motion blurr and judder settings set to where there isn’t weird motion blurr around peoples faces when making just regular movements such as turning their head or jogging on screen etc… nothing fast paced just regular motion. You have more experience with these televisions than I do so my question is do you notice better motion or better regular television upscaling and processing on the LG oleds vs the Samsung S90C or S95C ? I may exchange for LG but not sure if it will make a difference. I’m not a big gamer so television and movies presentation matter more to me. Thanks.
I want to get the C3 but I think it might discontinue soon I'll probably get the C4 and try to save as much money the G series like G3 and G4 are great models with mla technology but too expensive
I think the C3 is the best OLED tv from the time the C4 was launched until the C3 is no longer available. As soon as OLED TVs were launched, it was clearly the best TV technology, but it had 5 faults: Burn in, brightness, processing,quality issues that come with new tech, and price Burn-in: the 2023 series is the first series where I believe LG has improved enough that burn in shouldn't be an issue (unless you always watch static images). Brightness: the C3 is the first C series OLED that really is bright enough for all but the brightest rooms (which is what really sets it apart from the C2 and earlier models) Processing: The 2023 generation is where LG almost matches Sony as far as performance goes. It isnt better, but you really can only tell under very close examination, and in side-by-side. Problems with new tech: the first couple models of new tech tend to have issues that are corrected with each successive model. The C9, CX, and C1 seem to have a wide variety of issues beyond burn-in. Price: once C4 launched, the C3 price dropped enough to make is accessible to most TV buyers. Some of these faults were fixed on earlier models than the C3, but when the C3 price dropped with the C4 launch, the C3 was the first to overcome all 5 of these price, quality, and reliability faults. Since the C4 is a very marginal improvement, it will never be worth additional cost, making tje C3 the best value OLED for as long as there are C3 available on the market.
I want to move away from OLED - some of the Mini LED sets in John Lewis looked as good and can have twitch on for hours if needed without any risk - even though John Lewis rep said screen burn is a non issue at all now, thinking of the Hisense U8K
The difference between th C3/ C4 and g3 /g4 is is so marginal the price difference is not justifiable. The C4 77" costs the same as a C3 83". Your giving up 16% more screen to get 10% more brightness The C4 65" costs the same as the C3 77" your giving up 40% more screen size for 10% brightness
Actually it's not different so much between that two It's only have a anti glare screen on the c4 better use in bright room meanwhile glossy screen on c3 better use in the dark room But you can take c3 for best budget oled tv It's going cheap now And i still can't bought it 😂
I am legally sight impaired (half blind) and having even a slight improvement on a tv can be night and day for myself. The c4 wins easily for me, it is brighter and more true to life colour accurate. There is more detail shown on the c4 especially in the mirror behind the lady in yellow where the man in the grey is less fuzzy in the c4. Thank you for the video the way you did it made it fun to find the differences between the two

what's with the input lag is it because the c4 has 144hz refresh rate?, do these tvs have the same settins?

But this green shade happens in the c3 too, it's not something from the c4 it's common in woled panels and it happens from the c1 some even having the pinkish tone just search in forums. In this regard, the two are equal and vary from unit to unit, a problem that rtings put as if it were something only from c4 and it is not
The question is whether the Samsung S90C is worth $200 more than the LG C3?
My Question is wether the C4 is worth $200 more than the S90C
Great comparison! I have a 2017 55" C7, the software side of things is incredibly slow so almost for that alone I want to upgrade to a 65" C4. How much better is the picture quality from the C7?
How about C4 compared to C1? is the difference massive???
Obviously
I wonder how much upgrade I will get if going from B9 to C3,,or C4 🤷
What about gaming if running off a PC. Many folks are interested in these TV's because they offer gaming specs that you won't find on other models, it's kind of been one of their selling points...You're thoughts?
I reckon my c2 is close on these pictures they look great but we are talking more money for what a wee bit more blue or green
I have been waiting for this!
Picked up the 55" C3 from John Lewis with 5 year guarantee for £935. Got USC9S soundbar with sub, made to go with C Series TV's for less than half price - £489 from Peter Tyson with 6 year guarantee. £1,424 for what I'm hoping will be a decent set up.
Thanks again Paul,great honest video.
Thank you! What about C2 is there any massive changes ?
Yes. 2 series has no dts
@@rv.b2903 I don't mind about DTS I've HomePods picture quality improvement is important for me
Bought the c3 recently and it's epic. Oled for life definitely. I moved on from a Samsung qn90a that bombed out after 2yrs and only being used 2to3 hrs a day if even.
Oled is the way definitely, especially for gamers and no real gamers jams a bright room.
I am changing over to a watch the paint dry video for more excitement.
I got to tell you,I recently purchased a magnetar 800 4k player,and after owning the oppo and the reavon I went to my dealer to organise a demo.i have an 83 inch c1 at home,which I am still very happy with,and they used a 77 m3 oled,which is basically a g3 except wireless, I thought I could see quite a big difference in brightness on certain hdr discs,but when they suggested I demo it at home on my c1 so I could judge whether it was the tv or the player, I have to say that on my 83 c1 the images from the magnetar looked brighter and punchier and I was surprised thar it was far less to do with the different tvs and more to do with the source. It's my conclusion that over the last few years the pq differences on consumer oleds is very marginal, and after seeing it myself first hand ,the brightness differences are very over hyped,especially if you watching in dark room,if anything last years g3 looked alot more processed if anything, even after turning all that stuff off.
Thank you!!
The concrete and hardwood has slightly more red on the C4.
Hi! Please make a review for C4 the 48" OLED LG TV. It's cheaper and for small rooms. I want to buy it buuuut some users complain that the 48" version smels bad from the eco/plastics/materials inside. Is it true? Also the picture quality is not the same as 65" version. The smell won't come off after several weeks of usage. Maybe here in RO 🇷🇴 LG sells different TVs...which is very sad...
Are they on vivid mode. And are you noticing the green tint off angle on c4
That was my question, does the C3 have the green tint at viewing angle? Everything keeps bringing it up for the C4
Is the C4 actually worse than C3 on dynamic range?
Or is it just the higher brightness making it look washed out in comparison?
Hey qick question lads i had c3 & thought it was outstanding. however problem i had was randomy aftter tv been off over nite it was stuck on same preset pitcher mood i had it on the nite before when i changed it it would select the difrent mood like from standerd to cinema but the actual pitcher on tv wouldnt change currys had no clure it happened with 2 c3 tvs & ended up with sony x95l wich i love now
Perhaps comparing models that are two or more years apart would be more appropriate?
What kind of PS5 stand is that mate?
Still on the C1, apart from the G series is it really worth upgrading? I personally still think the C1 is outstanding and by no means yet obsolete?
I have had c1,c2 and g3. They are all great tvs, the c1 and c2 have the advantage that you can easily disable TPC and GSR in the service menu which is a big plus if you use them as a monitor. The g3 is brighter and looks very good on the wall.
@@freddy19985 thanks for that, on the fence whether to keep the C1 as I thinks it's still fantastic, would love a side by side on the C1/C4, apart from brightness would there really be a huge difference
@@BuffaloBill-pt9ns It wouldn't be a massive upgrade, I would suggest wait till the c4 is on sale. Or wait for the C5. If you had an older tv it would be a different story.
@@freddy19985 thanks for the replies it's appreciated, think I will do just that and wait for the c5 or sale on C4, had the C1 2 years now and as said it's fantastic when playing 4k HDR or ps5 games @120, just can't see the difference being night and
day on the latest models, but happy to
be told im wrong
Hey, review the 55” Samsung Q70D tv? I would like to buy one for TV and gaming. 🤗
Hi just a quick one to ask what happened to the A95L do you still have it was looking forward to your review and comparisons
Unfortunately I struggled to get my hands on another.
Would love yo see C3 vs B4
Hello, is the G2 brighter than C3?
rtings is your friend
@thetechgiantyoutube Great video. I went for the C4 when I upgraded after watching your videos. Can you tell me if its bad in your opinion to have the OLED brightness always at 100%? Out of the box it was at 80%
I’m pretty sure it’s fine. Most TVs come with Eco settings on/brightness lowered. And anyways the wouldn’t let you turn it up if it wasn’t safe, but it never hurts to keep brightness only as high as you need.
Turn on the P5!!!😂😂
I did have a G3 in my living room but it broke down like 4 times in about 6 months. The store was so lovely they refunded me in full and put my CX back in my living room. Ordered a 48" C3 for my gaming room with the same store and that works great so far. Got a super deal on the C3 of around 669 euro (open box model but 100% sealed and a peal on it). Made my choice easy to not go for the C4 this year. Perhaps will jump on the G4 train for the living room hope I have more luck with it else I am doomed to just let the CX stand in the livingroom.
What was the issue with the G3? Did you ever find out what was going on with it?
how far are you sitting from your 48" when gaming? would you have went smaller? same? or larger?
@@mjreade about 2 meter in my gaming room so it is good, could have went 55 inch.
They are at the same price on amazon right now 10/21so I bought the c4. If the c4 were 2 or 3 hundred more, I would have purchased the c3.
You will see a difference even if you put two TVs of the same model side by side. If you have the chance, try it.
Hey Paul, love your reviews as always! I have an lgcx and a c2 is the c4 worth upgrading my CX? I use it for the majority of my gaming on a ps5 and Xbox series X. Should I wait for a bigger upgrade? I love both so just wanted your opinion on upgrading.
Thank you as always, and keep up the great work you do for us!
I have another question for you or perhaps for the community. I’m experiencing an issue with my LG OLED C3 where the AirPlay feature across all Apple devices doesn’t seem to display properly. Whenever I open the Photos app and try to send a photo or video to the TV via AirPlay, the C3 switches to Dolby Vision mode, causing the picture or video to appear washed out, overly bright, and overexposed. Even the black borders, where there’s no content, appear gray 😮. In my opinion, it shouldn’t switch to Dolby Vision mode when I’m just trying to view a JPEG on the OLED 🤷🏻♂️, since it’s not an HDR format. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I’ve tested it on several C3 models, and they all had the same problem. This could likely be fixed with a software update. My LG OLED C1 displays all content from the Photos app on my Apple devices correctly and doesn’t switch to Dolby Vision mode during AirPlay. Could you please help me with this? I’d really appreciate it 🙏🏼. Best regards,Jason Maddox
The very subtle diffrences could be down to manufacturing tollerances
and the factory calibration if there was any.
This years models are not showing enough of an improvement to justify
the higher prices., and that applies to all brands.
A new SoC is due for the 2025 models, this may give the better performance
that we crave for.
If you can't wait, buy a 2023 model
Very little of an upgrade in the C4. Given the substantial price cuts on the C3, it's the only way to go IMHO. I've not had any pink tinging on my C3, but I do get green hints on skin tones sometimes.
I have a C3 and a S90C love both my OLED’s I game on .. OLED TV’s are the best
Which is better for me (I don't have tv, I got a PC, and a notebook)?
S90c better oled like they say? Just get on UA-cam and you will see everyone saying QD-OLED is better than normal woled. Kinda strange because it's only put out like that because we are speaking s90c vs lgc4. But if it's g4 vs s95d people are saying g4 is the better tv with more 3d pop
My C4 has already had a new display fitted free of charge I might add. due to screen burn, I have not watched all this video but it needs stating that any oled will suffer screen burn if you play the same game for hours on end like many do.
I game for a living so many hours are spent gaming, no matter what they say about pixel shift etc to prevent burn it will occur.
For low to average use of gaming then yes they are great but long periods of gaming is still a no no on any oled.
I now use this for tv only and stick to my Samsung neo geo for gaming.
I bought a Samsung S90C 77” a couple weeks ago. I was going back and forth between it and the LG C3 but went with the Samsung for the QD OLED panel and brightness. I like the television for 4K HDR but it actually looks worse than my 10 year old Samsung 4k it replaced as far as upscaling older movies and standard television shows. I also cannot get the motion blurr and judder settings set to where there isn’t weird motion blurr around peoples faces when making just regular movements such as turning their head or jogging on screen etc… nothing fast paced just regular motion. You have more experience with these televisions than I do so my question is do you notice better motion or better regular television upscaling and processing on the LG oleds vs the Samsung S90C or S95C ? I may exchange for LG but not sure if it will make a difference. I’m not a big gamer so television and movies presentation matter more to me. Thanks.
Bad s90c io restituito it
S90c sucks at 1080p content. LG C3 is awesome for me for UA-cam tv and Netflix etc
@@crunchtime4l also for me best c3
@@DavidTurner-on2bb take lg c3 or g3/g4
I want to get the C3 but I think it might discontinue soon I'll probably get the C4 and try to save as much money the G series like G3 and G4 are great models with mla technology but too expensive
I think the C3 is the best OLED tv from the time the C4 was launched until the C3 is no longer available.
As soon as OLED TVs were launched, it was clearly the best TV technology, but it had 5 faults:
Burn in, brightness, processing,quality issues that come with new tech, and price
Burn-in: the 2023 series is the first series where I believe LG has improved enough that burn in shouldn't be an issue (unless you always watch static images).
Brightness: the C3 is the first C series OLED that really is bright enough for all but the brightest rooms (which is what really sets it apart from the C2 and earlier models)
Processing: The 2023 generation is where LG almost matches Sony as far as performance goes. It isnt better, but you really can only tell under very close examination, and in side-by-side.
Problems with new tech: the first couple models of new tech tend to have issues that are corrected with each successive model. The C9, CX, and C1 seem to have a wide variety of issues beyond burn-in.
Price: once C4 launched, the C3 price dropped enough to make is accessible to most TV buyers.
Some of these faults were fixed on earlier models than the C3, but when the C3 price dropped with the C4 launch, the C3 was the first to overcome all 5 of these price, quality, and reliability faults.
Since the C4 is a very marginal improvement, it will never be worth additional cost, making tje C3 the best value OLED for as long as there are C3 available on the market.
I'm using C3 55 as my daily tv use and console gaming. I don't think i need to upgrade to C4 or G4. It's TV not smartphone 😂
C3 is still the best option
Why is the C3 slightly bigger than the
It's just sitting slightly further forward due to it being on a stand.
I want to move away from OLED - some of the Mini LED sets in John Lewis looked as good and can have twitch on for hours if needed without any risk - even though John Lewis rep said screen burn is a non issue at all now, thinking of the Hisense U8K
Hisense makes Nosense😂
What you want to do is compare sony oled with lg oled. I been told the picture quality of the sony is superior
I think I'm getting C4 cause C4 is cheaper than C3 in my country here
I can't see how that's possible at all. Maybe you mixing up the names. I know that can happen
they are so close. c2 vs c4 would be more interesting
I got the C3 for the exact reasons you mentioned..as there is no difference in tech but there is in the prices..the next lg I’ll get is a G series 👍
Going to one of the latest G series, you should see a decent improvement 🙂
@@TheTechGiantUA-cam yeh G4 catching my eye looks pukka..but that’s like a 2 grand plus tele atm..I think I’ll wait a bit lol 👍
comparing same tv hehe
The C3 is more blue but the C4 looks more like the shade of blue you would actually see in real life
The c4 looks brighter to me. Thats why the colors look "washed out". Its brighter lol
The C3 looks washed out compared to the C4. You can see it clearly on the ground in the initial walkaround outside.
Im watching on a screen a review of two TV screen lol this world is nuts
Great video. SDR is even less of a difference I believe, correct? My new C3 is great. No FOMO for me watching this!
The difference between th C3/ C4 and g3 /g4 is is so marginal the price difference is not justifiable.
The C4 77" costs the same as a C3 83". Your giving up 16% more screen to get 10% more brightness
The C4 65" costs the same as the C3 77" your giving up 40% more screen size for 10% brightness
I rather buy last year model & save 💸
Quite unacceptable quality issues. Watching a snow filled landscape on any OLED is still today a challenge.
Actually it's not different so much between that two
It's only have a anti glare screen on the c4 better use in bright room meanwhile glossy screen on c3 better use in the dark room
But you can take c3 for best budget oled tv
It's going cheap now
And i still can't bought it 😂
I am legally sight impaired (half blind) and having even a slight improvement on a tv can be night and day for myself. The c4 wins easily for me, it is brighter and more true to life colour accurate. There is more detail shown on the c4 especially in the mirror behind the lady in yellow where the man in the grey is less fuzzy in the c4.
Thank you for the video the way you did it made it fun to find the differences between the two
Locally right now they’re priced $100 different in a 55”. I only know this because of my mom and possibly changing out her stuff. Interesting. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
