@amitavraja3385 23 күн бұрын
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.

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.

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

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.

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

Absolutely loving my 65” G4. Coming from a C9, They’ve finally fixed their truemotion issues.
@michael-4k4000 21 күн бұрын
have a 65" C9 with over 6k hours, still runs great. no burn in or any other issues. amazing tv's. would love to upgrade, but there is really no reason to as it works so well. Of course a newer C4 or G4 would be much brighter, am looking forward to upgrading. Can I ask, what do you do with your old C9 or old TV's in general?
@zallapo66 21 күн бұрын
My C9 has been great. Like all tech, there was a couple of little things that bugged me but overall an amazing tv. I usually pass my old TVs down to my parents, but this time I decided to put it in the spare bedroom.

What would you recommend for a 4k bluray + gaming tv? Also should i wait for later on in the year for the latest models coming out? Its a big expense so i want to get the best for my money.

Depends on what you want from gaming. The G4 is probaby ideal in terms of gaming features. But if you play a lot of games and prefer having no risk of burn in, the Bravia 9 is probably the better one to go for. You'll likely have some very slight bloom in darker areas, but you'd also have a better image qualilty. Responsiveness would be slightly slower, but that only really matters for high-level gaming. It won't really mean anything if you're just playing through games, the difference is less than a frame when playing at 120 fps and simply not noticable for most people unless directly comparing side by side and specifically paying attention to it. So basically you can choose between perfect blacks + slightly better gaming features & responsiveness VS much more brightness, no burn in risk (only really matters if you use your TV like 8-12+ hours a day) and probably slightly better image quality/colour accuracy (since Sony tends t obe the best). Anyhow, I'd recommend waiting for Bravia 9 reviews which will be coming out very soon. Personally buying a new TV when it's just out is just too expensive for me. I'll just wait a year or so, my current TV is still good until then.

I have a 77" A80J that is still amazing. I also have a 656" A95K that is also amazing. Every time I think about upgrading the A80J, I think, hmm next year, they are going to be even better lol. 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. I think we are still going to see a lot of advancement with TVs in the next couple years.
@thenonexistinghero 19 күн бұрын
Anything released after 2021 you probably won't see much of a difference for a few years. Until 2019-2020 or so, upgrades were pretty large year-on-year for 4K TV's, but after that it's been very incremental. You'll need like a 5+ year gap to notice a proper difference.

As always, thank you for your reviews. Makes my job as an integrator calibrator much easier. Question, HDTVTest also (a few days ago) reviewed the G4 and quoted its maximum output brightness at a 10% window at 1500 nits. He is the most technical NIT nerd reviewer I have ever encountered. Interesting, he did not mention an unmeasurable peak luminance. Curious to know where exactly you obtained the information that the G4 utilizing its new processor boosts highlight detail above 1500 nits? And did that person or entity, specify what that number is? Confirming not at all dubious regarding your review just curious as I would think LG would be more than interested in sharing a higher NITS value with anyone within earshot, or shouting distance for that matter ☺️
@speedtree 23 күн бұрын
Exactly and I can promise you he is talking bullshit here xD unmeasurable peak luminance is the most bullshit in a review that I have ever heard. Also who tests and oled with high luminance studio lights on so the studio doesn't get too dark? What is this? Amateur hour?

here's an advice. When you buy this TV, don't watch any videos or movies. Just keep checking its nits at 10% window all the time.

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.

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).
