- We review the LG G4 OLED Evo TV - the latest flagship Gallery series model which now offers not only a wall mount version but the 55 and 65-inch version can be bought with a tabletop stand that holds the panel vertically. It features MLA+ and META Technology 2.0 that increase brightness and HDR performance, but the real star of the show is the new Alpha 11 AI Processor.

The LG G4 is still the OLED TV to beat in 2024, offering superbly accurate picture quality for film fans with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG high dynamic range formats. There are excellent smart TV capabilities with WebOS 24 once again proving to be the easiest system to use thanks to a simple design and superb features.
Gamers get 144Hz capabilities along with 4K/120Hz (including Dolby Vision), Game Optimiser mode including ALLM switching, dark room mode, NVIDIA G-Sync (144Hz validated) and AMD Freesync Premium as well as four full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 inputs. It is an all-in-one OLED TV for the whole family offering excellent features for all use cases. It wouldn't be surprising to see it make an appearance on our Best Gaming TV rundown in relatively short order.
The newly added features are worthwhile thanks to the powerful Alpha 11 AI processor, with excellent sharpness to the image thanks to AI Director processing using contrast and brightness techniques to make edges and details look sharp and natural, with no signs of forced edge enhancement and colours looking accurate and natural. You also have the option to tailor your peak highlight detail roll-off with 1000, 4000 and 10,000 nit mastered content using the HDR Professional mode. And with HDR the G4 uses the latest LG Display Micro Lens Array (MLA+) panel and updated Meta Technology 2.0 Booster processing. This combined with the new Alpha 11 AI processor ups the peak highlight capabilities of the TV.
I have no hesitation in saying the LG G4 is the Best-in-Class OLED TV for 2024 and continues to offer the best all-in-one use case for the whole family.

What do you think about the LG G4 and the other flagships due this year? Will you be upgrading your TV for the G4 or others? Let us know below in the comments and why not head over to AVForums.com to join one of the largest AV and Hi-Fi communities on the internet.
Thank you for the review, but I think you have to do a better job reading your own forum. There was a separate thread last year on the g3 dull game mode when compared to fmm. And here i go watching your review and you have 000000 zero mention of whether this has been fixed in g4. I understand you do not game, but many readers of your forum do, so please do not shit on them
Yep. Getting the 77”. Tv looks superb.
I’m so split. I can’t decide between the LG G3 or the G4 in 55”
@@hassanballi9521 game mode on G4 is better
get the G4 that is obvious
Thanks for the great review. Question: Why isn't the reflection handling capability assessed? How can you pit this against the S95D without it?
To be fair I love the LG magic remote.. It's so easy to control your TV with it. Yes, it looks a bit cheap and it has no backlit buttons, but the usability really makes up for it in my opinion.
I totally agree. I love the functionality of the magic remote. We might be the only 2 people that do though, lol.
@@tylerstirling2843 Make that 3.
Nope I like it too. Most ppl complain about the wand cursor, but I just use the up, down, left , right instead.
Thank you for being fair.
The price you're paying for these TVs they should really come with both wall mount & stand and a proper classy remote all in the box.
That's how Pioneer packaged my Kuro all those years ago. I paid my money, they gave me quality & choice.
Bought the last of the Kuro sets back in 2006. 18 years later, there's nothing new that can touch it.
@@BillyBob-xv3fu That has not been true for many years. Your Kuro does not hold a candle to this G4 or the Sony A95L. It doesn't even do 4K or HDR/Dolby Vision. It's black levels are no match for OLED either.
@@jurgentebeest6199 My recently extinct PDP-420XDm which lasted nearly 18 years, processed standard def far better than any OLED currently on the market. The blacks were fine on it. I have a C3 and Sony A8 in my house, so think I'm a reasonable judge.
Same with cell phones! Chargers should be included!
@@BillyBob-xv3fu NONSENSE.
So glad Dolby Vision got FILMMAKER MODE. I am using "Cinema" on my LG CX, but I am glad the name of the presets is now consistent. I am the go-to friend/family member for TV recommendations, and I always recommend getting the LG B-series or C-series or G-series (depending on their budget). And when I tell them to turn on FILMMAKER MODE for everything, it now makes more sense.
Thanks very much Phil, looking forward to the S95D review and comparison with this. I still have a Samsung QLED from 2016 and this year may be time to upgrade.
100%
I sadly had an accident with my G3 last month which broke the panel.
I'm going to treat myself with this one now, because the much better stand alone is already worth the upgrade to me. It's already in delivery. Can't wait, I'm glad there are no drawbacks, only improvements! Thanks for the thorough testing!
@lunchspecialMinglouwhat’s a looser?
@@The_Punisher202 Shame so deep they delete the post.
Excellent review Phil!
Thanks!
Thanks for the review, which was excellent as usual. I'm tempted to upgrade my 65G1 to a 83G4 when prices drop in six months or a year. I am in a small dark room, it would be a whim I admit but being a big consumer of 4K/HDR-DV content, it tempts me to have an OLED MLA screen of such a size. The cinema effect must be spectacular.
I'm waiting for the holiday around November to get the G4. Should be able to get it for around $500 cheaper. I have a Sony best T.V 5 years ago, I have burn in as of 3 years ago.
@@geogeo4139 damn which model and size
@@Solidariity Sony Master Series XBR-65A9G
The price I think was 3,299. Also I bought a$ 2,300 Samsung T.V. 14 years ago and it only last 2 years. I told my self I will NEVER buy another Samsung TV and I haven't. I'm going LG this time because they have the best screen panels with no burning and they back it up in their warranty unlike Sony!.
great review
What can u say about the reflection handling?
Amazing review! Do you find any color improvements between G4 and G3?
AVforums mainly about Film maker mode . I think from elsewhere and from here about AI Director the G4 will make it seem more colourful . Also must be improvements in BT2020 mapping every year by better processing . I mean if you can map 4000Nits better should be able to map colour better . I'm really interested in how 3D it looks , apparently G4 is a nice improvement , that is processing as Phil mentioned . He's a purist but even he seemed impressed to mention it
What do you think about upscaling of DVD, Blu-Ray and 4k media discs using the LG-G4
Upscaling performance is excellent, even with low-resolution sources like DVD.
loving everything i’ve seeing on the G4! would you recommend the G4 over the C4? looking to get a tv that checks all the boxes on my series X and gives me the best image quality on my apple tv 4K, would you say the C4 is worth the lesser price compared to the G4? have a feeling the G4 is gonna last me until the next big tv tech evolution
If you can afford the G4 then that would be my pick over the C4. C4 is slightly brighter than C3, but it is nowhere near as good as the G4 with the a11 Ai Processor and MLA+ etc.
Can you please test the De-Judder 10/10 in 30FPS games to see how big is the input lag?
I am using De-Judder in gaming on my C3 but I am curious if the new Alpha 11 processor will give you lower input lag vs the Alpha 9.
Thank you.
Thank you from the Netherlands for the great review! Is the anti reflective coating on the G4 any different from the G3? I read in a preview that the anti reflective coating of the G4 possibly is not as good as on the G3.
Not sure which one to pick up: the G3 with a big discount or the G4 with undoubtedly brighter colors in game mode compared to the G3.
Go for the LG G3 like me. I will buy mine next month, the 55" inch. It's now on discounts in the Netherlands. The G4 is an excellent TV but the price is too high at this moment. Glenn, Nederland
Another great review! Can you confirm if the wall mount WB22EGB is compatible with the G4?
Upgrading my CX65 for the G465 this week. Looking forward to seeing the improvements.
Its woth it ?only brightness?
Nice review..and t-shirt. How does that silver border on the outside edge look in a darker room. Is it still visible? Does it tend to pick up any ambient light or light reflected in the room from the screen? I could live with the cheap remote but concerned that border will be distracting.
The silver border is not seen from the viewing position and doesn't reflect any light from the screen.
Cheers 👍
Hi Phil, I couldn't but notice the wonderful TV cabinet. Are you able to share details on it please? Once I have the cabinet I'll then decide if it's a G4 or A95l for me. Thanks.
Details in the description with a link.
Excellent review as always Phil. I am waiting for the Panasonic Z95A release and review. Do you know when it is in the shops?
I don't have any official information at the moment
what a nice premium remote does the M4 have why doesnt the G4 have the same remote ? ! im so annoyed with this same not premium looking remote for so many years for a premium tv
Is brightness booster available on game mode ?
Can you recommend a much better 3rd party remote for my LG G4?
Nice, glad a stand comes with it and looks like a decent one and is black, not cheap grey looking thing from last year, which had stability issues.
What about if youre in the market for a 42". Is the C4 worth it over C3?
G4 vs S95D vs S95C vs A95L let's goooo
Take S95C off the list
G4 destroys the S95C
How? @@teddyholiday8038
@@teddyholiday8038 The G4 cannot beat QD OLED when it comes to color volume, colors in bright HDR scenes will always look better on the QD OLED. everything else is just splitting hairs expecting for low bigrate content and streaming where the A95L has a clear advantage.
@@user-oq6sc1qm4j FALSE
The G4 cannot match the S95D
It crushed the S95C
I have a Samsung TV and monitor, and two LG TV. Both TV and monitor, Samsung, have some annoying firmware issues, i need to power off, i mean to unplug them, to make them work properly again. It's a QD-OLED more brigther that an WOLED, yes, but i prefer the stability. Maybe i will try some Sony QD-OLED.
Thanks Phil. Glad its not a massive upgrade over the G3 which i own.
I think this might be the one that finally forces me to upgrade from my C9 (which has held on like a champ!). Sounds like thr upgrade will be worth it for gaming and 4k blu rays
Thanks for the early first review, glad it is all positive , the out of the box accuracy is amazing well done LG.
what about cinematic movements gimmicky or legit feature?
While I probably won't use it as I don't really see the judder with the near-instant OLED response time and I notice interpolation as soon as it is applied, this feature will be useful for those who have real issues with seeing the judder. We all see motion differently, so anything that can help without adding any Soap Opera Effect is a good thing in my opinion.
I have the 77” cx would the G4 77” be a notable improvement
Hi, what's the input lag measurement for 4k @ 144hz?
I. Just got the 77 lg g4 ,but I need to tweak the settings,can you recommend a good settings review
I'm stuck between the philips 908 or the LG G4. What would you recommend yourself? I was I formed the philips gets as bright as 2100 nits. I cam get the philips 908 for €2000 or the g4 for €2600.
A lovely brushed aluminium remote control please LG.
We agree!
I really don't understand the love for brushed metal finishes. It just looks tarnished.
I don't get all the bitching about the remote design? It does the job well and it's not expensive to replace should it get damaged. And it's more functional than Samsung's remote to boot.
@@devan_dangerBecause it doesn’t look premium like the TV, other manufacturers remotes are far better and don’t look cheap.
Keep my lg c2 65 inch some more years, or buy the lg g4 77 inch, on black friday or some other sale?
Any idea when they gonna release it in canada ?
Great job Phil!
How is the audio?
I'm a big fan keep up the great work.

How bright is it vs the g3?
Is there a stand for the 77" version?
Great content! I got my G3 a few weeks ago. It’s a wonderful TV. The only thing that bothered me is the game mode with HGIG (the colors look washed out and a little bit too dim). So, I have to switch to DTM based on the game title to have a better experience. It seems that this issue has been fixed on the G4 model. I'm here itching to return my G3 and pay full price for this G4. Will it be worth it? 😅😅😅
Only you can answer that question. Good luck.
Great review. I have the 83” G3 which isn’t MLA.
I calibrated each mode and it is a superb tv (my 6th LG OLED since 2016) only issue I have is white vertical bars, across the whole screen, just above Black- to about 15-20% above Black. Possibly due to the heat sync’s and EVO software without MLA?
Cheers Mate.
I haven't seen an 83" G3 so I'm afraid I can't comment on what you are seeing with your particular TV. Sorry.
@@avforums cheers mate
Is A.I director on by default or is it a setting you have to switch on.
It is always on, but it does not interfere with detail or add any sharpening artefacts.
i have the C1,will I notice any difference coming from it to the G4?
Yes, especially in brightness and colour brightness improvements, along with much better video processing.
Awesome review Phil. Been waiting for your review on the G4. Wow looks fantastic, but between Sony 95L and LG G4 which one is the best tv out off the box, I don’t want to be fiddling around in one mode then another to watch films. I sure I’ve said before I mostly watch Sky Tv.
I would say G4 is more accurate out of the box based on both I have measured.
@@avforums cheers Phil for your reply, can wait for it to arrive at the shops, so I can get a good look. Thanks for your advice, great channel, with great content.
Anyone know. Decent stand for a G3 , looking to replace my lg b9 oled, thanks
A pixel is a pixel, so what makes for that increase in detail? Better accuracy out of the box? Higher contrast ratio? Or some background processing altering the image in a way that diverts from directors intent?
filters!
Considering this G4 or the new Samsung S95D in 77". A big consideration though is the sound and I would like the new Q990D Samsung atmos soundbar after being very satisfied with the Q90R that I got 4 years ago. I've read this latest soundbar is now far superior to my old Q90R and I've also viewed some poor reviews of the LG flagship soundbar system. The Q symphony on the Samsung TV that can be used with the soundbar for extra immersion and the object tracking feature is swaying me towards the Samsung TV. For myself the sound is as much a key factor as the picture quality although I don't want to go the AVR and seperate wired speaker route for aesthetic reason's. This LG could be a stellar TV and debatably a little better than the S95D but will the TV and Soundbar integration on the all Samsung setup outweigh the possible minor advantages of this LG screen? Looking to make my purchase around September time and I'm still open minded and looking forward to viewing plenty of side by side comparison reviews before I make my decision. I must say I've been very happy with my 5 year old LG OLED but I've read they have improved considerably since my last purchase.
I wouldn’t put too much stalk in Q-symphony tbh. I have the 990C and had an S90C for a few months before selling it. Q-symphony may have made dialogue slightly more audible but the difference was so small, I couldn’t even tell a difference when doing a blind AB test. I now use my Q990C with my LG CX and am very happy with the sound that this system produces on its own.
Just picked up my 55" G4 today from BB, will go next to my 55" A95L in my GameRoom, so far very impressed with the clarity...
Closer than you thought. 😂 I been on AVForums with ppl who own both sets its basically a stalemate between G4 and A95L.
@@CaliFinestDemon After back and forth last night for about 4 hours, I can definitely confirm the A95L still has superior color, the G4 is brighter, and has a little more shadow detail in DV…
@bigcdub Yes it has better color volume but from what im seeing not "superior" more like a small leap, tho that was a given due to the QD OLED.
@@CaliFinestDemon I’m telling you from owning both, and what’s in front of me. It definitely has superior color volume, it’s QD-Oled v WOLED, I’ll be calibrating it next for further testing, but I’ll definitely keep this one, I sent the G3 back last year for the S95C…
Modded s95c crushes them both
At same price 77“ G4 or 85“ Bravia 9 ?
1 of the biggest question is have this models still the gamma flickering in gaming ect ?
Is it any good, thats all I care about. If its good ill buy as many as i need of them...
Il pannello è caldo?
I've been out the loop for some time, I'm in the market for an upgrade, are Panasonic not even in the running these days?
It really depends on what you need from a TV and your use case. If it is just film and TV viewing in ideal conditions with high quality sources, the Panasonic is still very much a contender and the new Z95A looks very interesting.
@@avforumsthank you.
What is better for upscaling the LG G4 or the Sony A95L ?
I was told by both owners who own both they are virtually Identical.
I would say it is close between both
Perhaps the Sony by a very slight margin, but LG is definitely good value for money. LG for below 55ins and Sony for 55 ins and above. However they’re both outstanding TVs.
Cheers.
The LG remote is actually the best on the market because of its motion control
Try using a samsung and see how many times you have to press (or press and HOLD) the same button to get ANY kind of response from the TV... and how many sub menus you have to press just to get to something as simple as changing inputs (6 just to get to the input menu, then many more to select the input you want)
I think he means the build quality. It's cheap plastic, not backlit and the print on the buttons fade off over time
I wasn't complaining about its functionality, but rather the cheap-looking black plastic which gets covered in fingerprints and the buttons become a mess over time and doesn't have a backlight. A TV at this level of the market should have a metal remote made from quality materials and match the design of the TV - but with the functionality we already have.
Is there a Heatsink in the
LG G4 55inch version
Yes!
That remote - jesus...
It's one of the biggest frustrations I have with the G series TVs. Now they have fixed the issue with the stand, I hope they fix the remote next, fingers crossed.
Even the print on some of the buttons on my remote are fading off. It's really baffling how LG can still ship such a cheap remote with an expensive TV.
You can but the signature one, but it’s an extra cost 😮😊
@@avforumsstand looks primitive
I like the remote.... Best I've ever used. 👌
is the G2 still a good buy? It is being deeply discounted currently.
You don't get MLA with the G2 and the step up to G3 was pretty significant, if your budget can stretch I would seek out a G3 if you can.
@@avforums Thanks for this insight, the G3 is double the price of G2 currently. Not sure I can stretch that far. What about the C3? Is that a better option over G2? Thanks again.
No, the C3 is very much the same as the C2 model, with no significant upgrades. The big upgrade was adding MLA and Meta technology to the G3. It may yet fall a little more in price now the G4 is available and dealers will need to shift stock.
Solid tv 📺👌🏾
The S95C with the anapeak mod can do 2000 nits @2-3% btw. SO much for the G4 being brighter. It can also reach 300 nits full field white and 1650 nits 10%. It has better colorvolume, brighter colors without washing out and can also do 144 hz.
According to profile name, it seems that u love your S95C, enjoy it, and stop behaving like PUTIN , always looking for reasons to be right, such a destructive destructive character 😂🎉😅🎉,

Tough choice between both. You are talking about tiny differences between them and if you're happy, stick with what you have.
Modded s95c better than both easily
You are right about the trash control. I have an LG t.v and the control it’s just trashed. I now replaced it for a Samsung because of the control.
Agree on the remote. Also, Samsung! They haven’t given a premium remote for YEARS! Same old tat. Oh for the days of the metal, backlit remotes of the past.
I never would have guessed G4 would be so much brighter than G3 that already doubled the brightness from G2. This is the best time to live in if you are a technology freak.

As soon as I get the sample through.
I'm so confused because the main TV I'm waiting for is the Panasonic Oled z95a but I could buy the lg g3 now for just under £2000 an then there is obviously the better lg g4🤪, so it's driving me crazy what to do.
My advice would be that if there is no rush, wait to see how these TVs perform, check out the owner's threads at AVForums to see how people are finding them in their homes, and while you wait the pricing will also be better down the line. I hope that helps!
I currently have a MZ2000 and looking to return it due to problems with HDR material (I had 3 LZ2000s before this and they also had the same problem!). I've been looking at the G3. Just bear in mind, if internal sound is important, the Panasonic is way better than the G3 and possibly the G4. If I go the G3 route I'll be needing a soundbar.

@NexGenTek did u get the new samsung oleds? Wanna see them how they look with 3000nits mod
I think the testing of windows only show the general brightness increase. But it doesn't show the "booster" tech that increases the specular highlights at 3% and less happening in actual content.
So I bet those times it is "boosting" these HDR small highlights the nits can be higher than 1500 nits. I don't think it's something that can be tested as easily.
Also if someone wants to use vivid, yeah I know. Then the brightness is likely higher from the start as well. Wouldn't surprise me if you just tested vivid the window brightness at 10% would be far higher than 1448 nits. Not accurate FMM to be sure. But just saying it's there.
I want so bad this tv. But its going to cost a motorcycle here in Brazil.
Please everyone let us know that the LG Micro Leds Televisions Displays 📺 Technology warranty is one year warranty coverage, but the fact is that the Micro Leds Televisions Displays 📺 Technology is surely better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Organic Material Products degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology for sure!
The LG Leds Displays Technology which houses the Leds are truly in houses in Chip-On Board Benefit, and these Leds Displays uses the materials of Sapphire Material Products none degradation Televisions 📺 Displays Technology which is truly better than the QD-Oled or the WRGB Oled Televisions 📺 Technology!❤
What about the audio?
As covered in my written review, it is serviceable in volume and weight with good separation, but no bottom end. If you want good-quality audio try and get the G4 with a soundbar or use it with an external sound system.
Crazy that you’re showcasing it behind you with such a dim image. Show off how impressively bright this model is for crying out loud lol
Constraints of the current testing room while we wait for the new test room to be built. I needed to balance lighting and the TV against clipping on camera. However, saying all that, you should never assess TV image quality on any UA-cam video as it is compressed and limited in dynamic range from the camera to how UA-cam compress the final video.
I wish LG releases 2024 TVs with promotions similar to Samsung in Canada.
The S95D is like 1500 dollars cheaper with samsung promotions here.
Samsung does that because they do it to entice customers to buy their shitty TVs.
I picked up the 77” G2 as my first OLED tv and it’s been phenomenal and has surpassed my expectations. I am going to get either the LG G4 in 83” or the Samsung QN900D in 85” I was surprised how fast I outgrew the 77” size so the G2 will get moved to the bedroom. The only reason I’m upgrading so soon is size and both sets are supposed to have a new processor that is game changing.
more money than sense
Hi, outgrew the 77” size? What is your viewing distance if I may ask?
@@robertdobbelaer8503 currently exactly 8ft but soon I’m going to move my H/T to the other side of the basement where I’ll have 16ft but will have the couch at 10ft as I want to keep in line with the 40° field of view as much as possible. I will also expand my speaker layout from 5.2.4 to 7.2.6
How much time in your life are you going to spend watching tv ? In the end of your life you will regret the time you've wasted watching tv. Sell your tv and enjoy life more😊
The remote.... i don't understand why the continue not to listen. Especially for the bigger flagship TV's.
It's one of the biggest frustrations I have with the G series TVs. Now they have fixed the issue with the stand, I hope they fix the remote next, fingers crossed.
I think the remote on my old E6 looks much better than the current ones.
When I wanna check SDR quality, I watch UA-cam videos from IMAX documentary trailers. Downscaling from IMAX 15/70mm film to a tiny screen is something to behold
Does this tv have a heatsink?im still terrified of burn in😂
Yes, it has an advanced heat sink and other mitigation processes that prevent burn-in or image retention when used correctly.
@@avforums due to limited space I'm either gonna get the 55 inch a95l or the 55 inch g4 which would you recommend?
