    What LG I’ve done with G4 is not to increase the brightness but improve the quality overall by making subtle improvements that is visible. Just by increasing brightness doesn’t make the TV better but how it handles near dark areas & shadow details. Also better posterisation mitigation which is common in streaming and sat TVs.

      Great review, as always. I bought my G4 a week ago, and it's been amazing, however, I and a couple of dozen other owners on avs forums have encountered a problem when switching from the inbuilt streaming apps (seems to only happen after watching for more than 10 mins) back to hdmi 2. The screen goes grainy with lines through it, and only unplugging the TV seems to fix it. Have you guys encountered this issue? I'm still waiting to hear back from lg for a solution. Thanks, and sorry for tagging on a reply. ​@Caleb_Denison

    Hi Caleb, perfect review as always...I currently have a Panasonic TX-P50G30E plasma TV at home and I don't really understand the "climbing for the highest numbers" regarding brightness and such. I found that my TV has a maximum full screen brightness of 87cd/m2 and I think that's enough for me. It is true that I have to close the curtains on the window opposite the TV, but I have a bright room and I can see everything and the picture is nice (not perfect, but nice). The TV is currently "ripe for retirement" and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Everyone scared me that OLED has poor brightness, but I don't think so. What are you think about it? Sorry for my English. Thank you very much.

    I must say my "old" LG C1 65' still wows me with everything I watch/play. It's just tremendously OLED :D That said, I now know what I'm saving My Money for. I've never heard or seen such a glowing review from Caleb in my life and I see no reason why he would lie. If this TV will really make everything I watch and play AGAIN look better/best than I could have ever imagined already coming from an OLED, I need haz. Period.
    Thanks to Caleb and the DTeam!! I sincerely appreciate all you do to keep consumers well informed. Likes, subs and other clicky internet stuff all around!! Cheers!!

    Great review!
    I didn't see it mentioned in the video: how well does this TV handle color banding? Both rtings and HDTVTest noted banding in their stress tests, with rtings using patterns and Vincent using a scene from the Martian where it looked pretty obvious. I give less credence to the patterns for all the reasons you mention in your review. Since banding is one of the only video artifacts that truly annoys me, I'm curious if it's noticeable in most real life usage, especially in game mode since it seems to show up more often in video games and my usage is probably 50/50 for games vs film/tv. It's essentially the determining factor for buying this model or a Sony TV

  • @Vicjofer

    Really appreciate your videos, always informative and entertaining. I brought and returned the G4 for one main reason. I was looking for a bright OLED for my bright living room. I found the picture settings useful to achieve just the right brightness and picture pop. Having owed several Samsungs, I appreciate a bright and colorful picture. The one and main issue was DolbyVision, which always seemed to be dimmer than what I wanted. Additionally, the picture settings you mentioned in HDR mode are not available when the video is encoded with DolbyVision and there was no way to disable DolbyVision. I’m wondering if you had the same experience or did I miss something in the settings menu?

      You can grab a streaming box and then throttle the box in the settimgs to only recognize up to HDR10. On my G2 83" this boosted brightness and shadow detail in normally dim DV content since it forces DV to HDR10. Streamer I use is Roku Ultra.

Like it appears to the ear as a "cut out / popping" sound - it's driving me insane! Please escalate with LG if you think you might be able to help get this issue to their attention!

    Great video as always! You may have to replace the nitt nerds section with tone mapping for nerds featuring real scenes. Cant wait for the shootout.The g4 beats the s95d in many sceens for both brightness and saturatuon: the Samsung chooses to reduce the apl of entire scenes diminishing it's qoled advantage this year and is scene specific making it muddy. Can do is irrelevant if it doesn't well represent implementation be it panel type or testing conditions. Maybe one can cook an egg on the g4 but methinks Samsung took its eye off the ball while LG may have hit a homerun.

Honestly, once you start watching something, you don't really notice a difference. Not like you are going to love a movie on the G4, but not so much on the A80J lol.

    Since all TVs get reviewed very early in their firmware upgrade cycle, I think it would be useful to have generational comparisons where you have, for example, G3 with latest firmware and G4 with current firmware.
    I would also like someone, with time on the their hands, to create a website with full firmware upgrade data for each tv set and manufacturer with a curve for features added, features removed, bugs fixed - because at prices like these I want to know that manufacturer is committed to maintaining and improving your multi-thousand dollar “investment” as most people outside of the viewers of this video most likely will keep this or similar TV for 10 years (I know I would as my “temporary” TCL TV that reviews said would last at most 3 years before dying is still working 7+ years later - but being a Roku TV it is still getting firmware updates once a year or so).
