A few of you have rightly pointed out that the 42” and 48” models don’t have the same brightness levels as the bigger sized models. We’ve checked with our testers and although the smaller C4 models dim less than previous years' models, you’re still correct! We apologize for that and we’ll update our review on the website accordingly!

4:08 You guys should compare the C4 with the C3, year over year improvements in the same model is the metric of progress. Comparing the C4 with my old C1, you get 50% better full screen brightness and 27% better peak brightness. Not only that, but in general the C4 outperforms the high end model G2 from just two years ago.

@jonathanparle8429 Ай бұрын

I bought myself a C4 42 inch partly because of the RTings reviews of the earlier models of the series (up to C3) and partly because I have had 10 wonderful years with my previous 32 inch LG LB6500 TV (which I am keeping) and thus I wanted to stick with the brand. Suffice to say I love my new TV. I could not ask for a better picture and the feature set is precisely what I was hoping for - basically a much more advanced and adept operating system than the one from 10 years ago on my LB6500. I just love the contrast with the deep blacks - night time scenes and horror movies are far better on this TV. The colour rendition is also something that really stands out. I watch a lot of classic motorsport and the subtlety in paint colours on the cars is amazing. A car that I used to think was pure black is actually more of a mica black with subtle flecks of gold through it - but I could only discern this on the new TV. If anything, I think the colour reproduction blows me away even more than the deep blacks do. The new TV upscaling is superb - even significantly better than that of my Zappiti 4K Pro - something I really was not expecting. Another thing I was not expecting is how much better the motion interpolation is on this new model versus my old TV. I can find settings that produce no artefacts at all yet get rid of that horrible low frame rate feeling on 24p content. The only thing I do not like about the TV is the fact that unlike my old TV where you could delay either the audio or video (effectively being able to "advance" the audio), you can only delay the audio with this model. And with my TV headphones, there is around an additional 30 ms delay versus the inbuilt speakers (the headphones are Sennheiser RS195). Luckily I could resolve this since my Nvidia Shield allows me to advance the audio in increments of 10 ms (so it is advanced to 30 ms audio advance) and with my Zappiti media player, since I have to prepare every file that goes onto it anyway, I simply advance the audio in the files by 30 ms as well. So I have perfect lip sync for both of my sources but I would rather have the features my old TV had. I do not know why LG have decided to only allow users to delay the audio relative to the video versus advancing it and I think this is an oversight by LG that needs fixing on future models. Not everyone can "fix" the audio relative to video like I can on my workstation. All that said, I am really happy with my purchase with those caveats. EDIT: I should add that I bought two of these 42 inch TVs for different rooms and neither of them show any tinting, green tint or anything at all regardless of viewing angles. I specifically went to check mine when I read this here but they are perfect even up to 170 degrees off axis (I obviously see nothing at 180 degrees off axis!!). Perhaps this issue only effects the larger panels.

I have to pull you up regarding your comment on the fact that all panel sizes perform the same. This was not the case with the C3 where the 42 and 48 panels suffered from low brightness and as i found out the hard way, they are prone to banding and panel failure. I have just rejected my 48" C3 due to panel failure, the left of the screen was going darker than the right the store said this was not unknown with the lower spec panels. So until i see reviews of a 48" C4 i am saving up for a Sony.

Exactly. An OLED like the C Series or A80. Still the second best TVs in their respective lineups. Comparing a C4 or A80 to the G4 or 95L. It’s a 911 to a 911 Turbo. You’ll have some noticeable improvements but the 911 is fine for 98-99 percent. I have an A80K and an A95. Yeah their is differences but the jump didn’t feel as big as Full Array to OLED did.

Basically Its a C3 with 144Hz panel. I am looking to upgrade my old C7 this year, but I think I'll pony up the extra cash and go for the G4, given I tend to use them for 5+ years and 20K+ hours. Hopefully the G4 would be less susceptible to colour degradation of OLED pixels (permanent burn in) after 10K+ hours of use. On my C7, around 12K hours I started noticing the pixel colour degradation (on parts of the screen in magenta and yellow) and now at 23K+ hours, the degradation is easily noticeable in magenta and yellows. My C7 is still serving me well to this day.

Pink and green tints are common defects with second generation WOLED panels used in many OLED TVs including the G2, C3, C4, and others. Color tinting is a panel lottery issue with some TVs having an unacceptable level of tinting and others having an acceptably small amount. If you want less tinting, get a TV with either a third generation WOLED which has MLA technology which greatly mitigates the tint, or a QD-OLED TV. LG G3 and LG G4 have third generation WOLED panels with MLA.

@@cajampa Yes, actually disabling it is better. But you couldn't be more wrong about '10' being very dark. In the range of low ambient light to literally pitch black it is _more_ than bright enough, I assure you. I have been assuming that since 2017, LG's OLEDs have become even brighter --- not that I need more brightness per se, but every bit helps when you want to use BFI or LCD glasses for stereoscopy. I have a "High FoV Gaming" setup in which my standard view distance is 18". With the 55" OLED this gives me a horizontal Display FoV of 106° --- higher than most VR displays. When the In-Game FoV is increased to match the Display FoV you get a perfectly realistic image, completely free of distortion. The increase in immersion from increasing Display FoV is indescribable. I believe that most people would sooner go back to a lower resolution or framerate than go back to a lower Display FoV, simply because the immersion of the experience is enhanced so much. Going back is like going from being _in_ the world to seeing the world through a toilet paper tube.

RTINGS does not test European market only TVs such as the TCL C845K. TCL sells different lineups in Europe and North America. Anyways, I would consider the G4 over the G3 since the G4 fixes or mitigates several bugs that are present in the G3 such as a bad game mode, near black chrominance overshoot, and black crush. From what I gathered from a FlatpanelsHD review, the TCL C845 comes with an outdated main SoC and Google TV 11. Android 11 went end of life on February 2024. I am not sure whether or not an update for your TV to a newer and supported version of Google TV is available, so you might be stuck with an end of life OS with a TCL C845. Since LG still updates WebOS for its older TVs, out of those two choices, the G3 wins. However, I really recommend going for the G4 instead if that is possible.

Is the processor is a downgrade from last year model C3? i mean what alpha gen between C3 C4 & G4?

@ZachalZockt Ай бұрын

C4 is a great TV, but still the ugly brother of G4. Damn, we need small 42" 48" G4s !

@jonathanparle8429 Ай бұрын

I really doubt there would be a market for a 42 inch G4. If there was I am sure LG would have plugged it by now. Even as it is, the market for 42 inch premium TVs is very small in comparison with less expensive (far less expensive in most cases) models.

If the s90d has 4k @ 144hz support for all four HDMI ports and the LG c4 does not then what the heck are the other 3 ports that don't support 4k @ 144hz

I'm more interested in comparison between G3 and C4 because they priced about the same

The LG G3 is a bit better than the LG C4. The G3 is the brighter TV overall and it handles more glare in a bright room when watching SDR content. The G3 also has better color volume for brighter colors, and the image barely degrades from an angle and doesn't have a noticeable green tint as the C4 does. However, the C4 supports 144Hz, so it's better for those looking to get the most out of their powerful gaming PCs.

@rycmrc 7 күн бұрын

is it true that the menu is laggy?

@RTINGSdotcom 7 күн бұрын

this was our experience with the menu: The TV runs the 2024 version of LG's proprietary smart interface, webOS. The interface is fast and easy to use, and it supports user profiles, so you can customize the home page for different users. The TV has a bug that causes the occasional black screen when changing resolutions and refresh rates frequently in a short period. The only fix for this is to unplug and re-plug the TV, but this is unlikely to happen with real-world usage.

C4 has green tinted compared to C3

@madpistol Ай бұрын

LG C4, continuing the trend of "Jack of all trades, master of none" It's just a great all-around TV. I'm still blown away any time I used my C3.

Can someone explain the Samsung s90D? From what i understand if you purchase a 55" or 65" S90D the panel may be either QD-OLED or WB-OLED? Is that correct? And if so, why are they doing this? It seems like fraud. Itsno different then buying a sports car and you don't know if the car is 4 or 6 cylinders untill you get it home and use it. How is this even legal?

@nimblegoat Ай бұрын

C4 seems to be held back. Maybe no heatsink , no MLA + and more conservative approach. Panasonic using the same Evo panels , non MLA will be over 1000NITs for 10% easily . TBF Panasonic has the best heat sinks in the TV world . But would MLA+ really take a 900Nit screen to 1400-1500 NIT screen by itself - don't think so

how is it every year a new LG OLED comes and seems a bit worse than last year's. C3 improved a bit over C2 absurdly intrusive ABL but seems like C4 got backwards again, only improvement would be 144Hz wich is mostly meaningless... CX and BX still hold the title of professional monitor killer and both have the "Rolling Scan" function to really increase motion resolution

I agree. It simply doesn't make sense and I rack my brain trying to figure out why this happens and what they (LG) gain/lose from it.

I have 4 LG at home. The purchase of the c2 was my last and I will not buy LG again. The pink screen is unacceptable on a television with this price. The best television in the world, etc, etc. Such rubbish that it doesn't even manage to have the same colors across the screen.

I’m surprised you have put both LG and Samsungs OLED from 2023 into your so called longevity test but no Sony’s from 2023. Any reason for that ?especially considering they are the only brand who had severe screen burn issues with their past models TVs in your test and your test also shown us that Sony has the highest risk of screen burn than Samsung and LG regardless of what panel they use QD OLED or WOLED. your test on S95C and G3 also proves that WOLEDs with MLA is has higher risk of screen burn than the 2nd gen QD OLED. For example If you look at Samsung and LG within the same period of longevity let’s just say 6 months into the test you can see the screen burn on LG is more pronounced. I’m still suspicious of why Sony 2023 models weren’t added to this test.
