Ads included in the app of a tv should be illegal

God I love watching these videos about TV's I want and cannot afford!

Just bought the 77G4 and next to my S95B and X95K, there is a very clear upgrade in picture quality. Never was an LG fan, but this is in my opinion the best oled out there and will probably stay that way for some time. Important in my opinion is to set color always to original instead of automatic. Automatic doesn’t give you the full impact in color. And yes, brightness does matter a lot for HDR impact. If you buy a tv, buy this. This tv is a true technical pinnacle.

Another great review. Well done RTINGS!

Hi Abby, possibly my next TV to buy this year.😊i will wait until Black Friday and the holiday season.😊

Thanks Abby/rtings. Looking forward to the mini LED reviews landing for the new sets, hopefully soon

How's the image processing compared to the G3?

RTINGS needs to test brightness of mid-grey at all window sizes as well as fully white, and I suppose to be thorough you need to test peak white window sizes with a mid-gray background. In every hands-on comparison the G4 is significantly brighter than any other OLED or QD-OLED in pictures with a high average brightness across the whole frame (e.g. daytime landscape), if you only measure peak white you don't know how much the display is dimming all the content around the highlights.

Great review as usual! Almost perfect set except for the outdated remote and the removal of the ATSC 3.0 tuner which is totally lame.

the black screen happened to my C4 as well, thought i broke the tv but just had to unplug from the wall and it was fine afterwards.

Ordered one of these to replace my CX. Can't wait.

Just ordered a g4. Should I watch streaming app through the native tv apps or an Apple TV? Will I lose some of the a11 processing if I use Apple TV apps? Also any recommendations for a different remote than the magic remote that comes with it?

you guys are the best, the notebookcheck of tvs

Thanks for the link ; but what do you mean it's not as colorfull as qd-oled ?

Thanks, Abby and everyone at RTINGS for this video review. I read your website review of this LG G4 TV and was eagerly waiting for this video companion. I've been using my Sony 46W4100 since 2008 and it is still going strong. But I really want to upgrade to a 4K TV that is great for using my PS5 as well as 4K UHD Blu Ray films. This LG G4 seems like a great set to do justice to both physical media movies, games, as well as content off cable and streaming. The only question I have is, does anyone know the street date these G4 TVs will be released here in Canada? I have been looking on Best Buy Canada, The Brick, and on Visions Electronics, waiting for these TVs to be available. So far, no luck. Do you have any information of a street date of these LG G4s to start being available in retail stores? Thanks again for the great reviews. You're my first source of TV and electronic reviews.

Hi! When you talk about the color volume/luminance vs. QD-OLEDs - to bridge the gap between numerical data and practice, what really should (IMO) be the focus is how much of the content that people usually watch will take advantage of the headroom that QD-OLED has. My understanding is that nearly all content that we watch in daily life resides almost entirely within WOLEDs' capabilities, which renders the QD-OLEDs' advantage an academic curiosity, or perhaps something that Vivid mode users will enjoy. I'm saying this as a tech enthusiast who binged TV reviews for months and got an LG G2 -equivalent OLED - only to spend most of my time watching anime on it. Every couple months I will put on an HDR video on the KZfaq app and be reminded of the TV's real capabilities. I really am left wondering if I'd been better off saving the money and just buying an LCD TV due to the content I watch.

Just bought mine yesterday 😊

Can you purchase the stand for the 83” G4?

Hi, Do we turn down color temperature to Warm 50 for any HDR PS5 gaming for accurate color? Or is it fine to just leave it as zero out of box for G4?

Excellent review!

splendid review

Great video! I can't seem to find this in the UK. Is it branded differently there? Does anyone know please or can they share a link 🙏🏽

Very nice review dear Abby

Hats down for the patriarchs of display testing! Splendid video as always. Considering everything you just said about g4 what percentage of price difference would justify getting same size g4 instead of g3? P. S. Right now I have 1400 eur g3 but g4 is like 3000 eur atm. Would a price of let's say 2k on Black Friday be good deal to upgrade to g4?

Is the LAN port 100mbps or have they gone for gbe or even 2.5gbe?

How does burn in on this compared to the A95L?

Please do some high-scrutiny tests for panel issues, particularly things like DSE and the pink-green alternating discoloration, which I have had on THREE new 55" C2 panels. I suspect it is a defect of that panel's manufacturing process as it appears to possibly be a polarising or anti-glare layer issue, possibly due to uneven lamination during fabrication. This is speculation on my part but it seems plausible, as the fundamental colour reproduction of the pixels across the colour gamut is still ok. It looks like the identical visual artifact I can reproduce on my Sony smartphone's OLED panel, if I hold it significantly off-axis to sunlight and at a diagonal relative to viewing. However the phone screen becomes fine again when viewed head-on. By contrast, the C2's panel however exhibits distinct horizontal banding across the full width, in the bottom half of the panel, regardless of being on-axis or off-axis. The visual symptom is that the underlying pixel colour response is fine, but there's an overlay of discolored red/pink and green banding. Some people have it on corners of their panels, some people have it in the middle of panels (like my first two Poland-made panels), some people have it on the top or bottom of panels. My third unit has it horizontally on the bottom 40% of the vertical area. I sit in the 'perfect' viewing position and distance and it's still very obvious on greyscales, whites and flat colours. I had to return two units before I got one which was tolerable.

My C1 recently started doing the switch off thing you mentioned with changes of refresh rates - but mine just does it when connected with the Nvidia shield, I have to plug the power cable.. has done it 3/4 times now.. so annoying.

I'm cool with the LG C3 I just bought..panel uniformity on my unit is damn near perfect

Didn't they have the same problem last year switching out of game mode?

Do you also check VRR flickering for TVs? I see no mention in the review

Do you know if the Ethernet LAN port is finally 1Gbps or still 100Mbps as on previous models?

Great job Abby!

I did the new WebOs update for my B3 and now I have to unplug it from the wall at least once a week due to it locking up or black screening. It's not just the G4.

I bought it couple days ago after I sold my kidneys and liver, it was worth it .. I try to find any flaws but didn’t find anything. One of my best purchase !!!!!

Why cite Rec 2020 colour performance if no such content exists...? 🤔

We just got one and it has a very quirky issue with sound quality and output to a soundbar. You really have to crank it up and then it distorts. Oh, did I mention that is if there’s sound at all. That takes going into the menu, and then it recognizes that it should output signals. Not thrilled. Still trying some kind of workaround while I await LG’s response. 🤨

Is the mount also compatible with the 77" and larger G4?

Does the 83 inch come with an stand? Or only wall mount?

Disappointing they removed ATSC 3.0 on the G4. Seems puzzling on a high end set.

Glad they added oled to the phone but i think the screen size might be hard to pocket.

Does the g4 come with stand or only wall mount

Is it worth selling my c2 65 inch and buy lg g4 77 inch/83inch on black friday? Or keep the c2 some few years more, when the technology is better. Or at the difference in picture Quality from c2 to g4 that HUGE? ☺️

We are waiting for the comparison video of LG G4 and S90D❤️

HI! LG G4 is better than Sony´s A95K? I am a user who mainly uses television to watch 4k blu ray movies with a Panasonic DP-UB820-K so I am looking for the best image quality for cinema, I also play some video games.

USB 2.0 or 3.x? Lan with 1000Mbps?

Every newer and better model OLED TV makes me want to buy one. But then I have to remind myself tech is only going to get better and better. Maybe after a few more years if my C2 shows any need for replacement.

i wish your reviews included black crush without calibration

I want to use this as my pc monitor but I am unsure if 55 inch would be too big as a monitor

So it's better this or the S95d Samsung?

How come you put doly vision as a positive for sony. We all know they can't or won't fix it at this point.

TV & Hair on point. Still going with A95L or Bravia 9.

Abbey how is it going with the big tv test ?

I'll stay on my cx for a while longer

I’ve had one of the G4s for a couple of weeks. Its image is fantastic, but the day before yesterday the audio randomly began cutting out intermittently from any HDMI source. It looks fantastic, but this is such an odd problem it concerns me regarding the G4 in general. I really love the display, but I’m almost afraid to replace the tv for another G4.

Can you do a video comparing LG G4, Sony A95L and Samsung S95D please?

You absolutely will notice the sample and hold blur. I wish you wouldn't downplay it so much. Does BFI pulse at both 60hz and 120hz on this model to address that?

Im still good with my c3 on gaming!

I’m looking for a new tv. I don’t game. I do watch sport mainly football (soccer) and I watch blu ray and dvds. I also use a satellite box to watch tv and stream Netflix, Amazon Prime and KZfaq as well as HD and UHD content. Any recommendations ? I want a 65 inch and am in the UK. Price up to 3,000 pounds Sterling not a problem.

I am in love with my C3 65 inches and it nearly blinds me with full brightness so more nits don't matter to me

I always wondered what’s the numpad for on the remote?

My next OLED...the great 83" G4 with MLA panel 😍👌 It's time to kick out my beloved and trusted 77" Sony AG9! 😎👊

Missed one of the pro's also being its available in larger models other than 77inches like the 83inch. I'd say that's certainly a pro.

Will there be a review on the C4 as well?

Most of us don't upgrade our TV every year, so a comparison between the G4 and older OLED models would be very helpful. I'm using an LG B7 and I'm just now considering an upgrade, but these videos don't help very much unfortunately.

The tv stuck in game mode is disappointing and gives me ptsd. I have a 77g2 and its thr opporsite when gaming on xbox series x, it says its in game mode but it deffintly isnt very noticble input lagg and incosisyant picture qualit changing inputs.

I'm surprised a response time of 2.3 ms is considered fast, when CRT and plasmas had 0.002 ms black to white response time. 🤔

Ads in the menu? That's a no-go.

Got my 83 g4 the other day. Let's goo

The Princess of Pixels graces us once again.

Should I upgrade my C1 to get 24 more frames?

Blooper reference…’4K at Fun’ is my new band name :-)

How expensive would this TV be without all the ads?!?! That's crazy. ... And... Thanks for reminding us that most (?) modern TVs suck when input is 480i/p 4:3.

I really need to confirm a 77 LG G4 "stand" before my purchase. Rumors that LG WILL have a stand for 77-inch G4 very soon.

Man I’d totally pay a premium for this MLA panel tech to come to monitors.

Lots of great stuff but I think a lot of buyers realize we should have hoped to see this in the C range by now instead of that range stalling out for so many years. It's a trickle down world.

LG G4 or Sony Bravia 9?

Nice ! ❤ TV not bad either ... 😁

VRR flickering test ??

Still satisfied with my G3. Next saving up for sony qd oled.

I missed one connection box

What's the contrast ratio in a not dark room for lifted blacks compared to qd oleds? And which tv in day light veiwing has more 3d pop in sdr and hdr? Day light comparisons should include bravia 9 mini led and lcd especially for sdr comparison. A lot of content is sdr and hdr is streamed low bit rate so having a good processor is important but so is the panel with contrast ratio being a factor. So overall brightness in a 100% window adds to contrast ratio and lifted blacks diminish them as well. Also a lot of content do not have pure black in their content so the benefit of pure blacks of oled is quite limited for regular content. So in that case bright room viewing and measuring contrast in a bright room makes more sense as a comparison.

No reason to upgrade c1 still amazing

I really wish this came is 48 inch. It would be perfect for a PC monitor.

What about motion reduction technology though? The C1 has the legendary OLED Motion Pro setting, does the C4 has something similar?

why do u have to turn off so much stuff just to get the tv to perform right in gaming over and over

Where in 2008 did they get that stand design from?

Why do you pronounce RTINGS as "ratings"? It's clearly "arrtings".

I wish they'd make a 42 inch model...

LG kickin ass

S90d is better. Better brightness and much higher color gamut. Only DV is missing

Why would anybody want the stand over the flat wall mount? Then just get the C version.

no 3.5mm headphones jack

Post calibration?

8:59 nice joke. You absolutely notice lmao. This is why they offer BFI to clear the blur out.

Woled can't compete with qd oled🤷‍♂️its as simple as that

What is this --- Frame Hold Time at 60 FPS is 14.4 ms??? It doesn't actually hold the frame for the full duration, but has a small down time, like a very long square wave pulse? I had never heard of this before. It would of course slightly reduce Eye-Tracking Motion Blur, but if this is already done I don't understand why they don't include the ability to adjust the pulse width, and even better, to include a mode which emulates the pulse envelope of a CRT. It's a simple matter to automatically adjust brightness as a function of pulse width. This is the correct way to reduce the pulse width of a frame, whereas "Black Frame Insertion" is a goofy work-around. If LG et al. are not going to offer OLED displays which approach the motion quality of CRT, I wish a new company would purchase OLED panels and design its own displays with its own custom driver circuitry so that we could once again have the same clarity of motion we had 80 years ago.

LG should get some points for the fact that they let us to disable Home Promotion‚ Content Recommendation and Screen Saver Promotion. Others don't do that.

Still waiting on 120hz BFI option to also be back. This is lame for gamers, going from my C1 to this would be a huge downgrade.

::hugs my 77" S95C:: Still love ya, buddy!
