I’ve had this TV for 8 months and am still blown away by it. It’s awesome.
Yeah that sounds about right. Meanwhile you can get a 48” lg c4 oled for $977 from Best Buy. I’ve been using a c1 for almost 5 years now and it’s excellent.
I bought the 55' C4 6 months ago that came with a free LG soundbar RRP £600 for around 1K. I am sure this is available for cheaper now.
I took your advice from six months ago and upgraded to the LG OLED C4 77-inch TV, moving up from the C1 65-inch model. I absolutely love the new C4 TV. [...]
Rocking my C3 that I bought last August and I dont plan on upgrading anytime soon.
Got the 77in C4 last sept from JL for £2.5k, great tv and personally prefer the current remote with numbers (i'm old).
[...] I bought mine 65" in november 2024 at 1550 GBP including a professional calibration to optimised for my use. [...]
$997: Lg C4 OLED TV If you want a nice TV, this is probably the TV you want. Anything cheaper is garbage. Anything more expensive is overpriced. I've had my C1 for 4 years now and love it to death. [...]
[...] Planning on my 65 inch - 2020 LG CX replacement later in the fall. [...] The replacement C4 though will be an upgrade to 77 inches which will be a better fit given the room it will be situated in now that I have experienced the 65 inch size. Question: Did you see any “green tint” — off angle — as noted by RTINGS or is that something LG got fixed with their strong product support updates?
I'm still loving the C3 I got on Black Friday of last year. Mine is hooked up to a PC and I have 0 complaints.
damn my 6 yr old lg lk628 32inch hd tv that came wd 35watts speakers has ips panel and nezt to no change in colors or tint in 180 degree viewing 😊. sm times im amazed by tge quality it provides . i wanted to buy oled but its fear of burn in preventing me to buy .also lg mini led QNED isn't available like c4 or c3 in 42inch in India 🇮🇳
[...] which my not that old LG C4 has. Also, if that goes away: SPDIF decoder boxes are very cheap!
Oh yeah I have an Oled LG C4 TV with 120hz refresh rate. Can't go back to non-oleds.
I have never seen bad text rendering on an OLED. [...] I recently replaced a Sony X900E with a LG C4. Text is crisp and power usage dropped going to the OLED. Permanent burn-in will happen with static images, but it happened on CRTs too and those once dominated the world. [...] Newer OLEDs, such as Apple’s tandem OLEDs, minimize the issue. [...] Higher black levels would only favor OLEDs thanks to their inky blacks.
[...] Slack would crash when screen sharing, likewise for chrome/gmeet, camera corruption bugs. [...] Installing a DAW took days of reading audio routing docs and trying stuff out, breaking my audio several times in the process. My LG C4 cannot be used at 4k/120Hz because you cant get HDMI 2.1 on Linux/AMD. [...] Hell I never had a PC laptop that managed sleep state reliably and didn't cook the battery in the backpack randomly. [...] It is hard to justify dealing with Linux desktop and PC hardware even at a price premium, but these days Apple devices are even price competitive compared to similar windows/linux machines.
[...] Like I was daily driving fedora last year and : - fractional scaling did not work in Gnome with Wayland for X11 Apps - I still cannot use my LG C4 as a monitor in full capacity because AMD on Linux does not support HDMI 2.1 - Screen sharing was very buggy - in Slack especially - it would constantly crash the slack app during calls, ditto for camera, but even in Google meet and Chrome I've had desktop crashes - When I switched to KDE/Plasma 5 to get fractional scaling it was extremely unstable - Right now I upgraded my GPU to 9070XT - I'm still not sure if that would work on Linux yet because of driver support delay - Guitar Amp simulator software I use does not support Linux, neither does Ableton (which supposedly can run on proton but with many glitches) - The audio DAW situation was way too complicated and buggy - I spent days to get the distro functional and usable with Ardour and it would still crash constantly - I just wanted to run some amp sims :( It's just the little things and rough edges, but for example the fractional scaling stuff already improved because more apps that I use added Wayland support. [...] Not sure about the audio progress - JACK was a complete mess.
I've tried using a 43" UHD TV as a monitor, since they're as cheap as $149.99 USD brand new, but it had noticeable delay even at 4k@60Hz, and just didn't feel right. [...] Case in point: at both 60 Hz and 120 Hz, 4K latency on my LG C4 is within a millisecond of the lowest-latency monitors listed here: I fully agree that HDMI is inferior to USB-C, if only because quality USB-C-to-HDMI adapters are widely available, and mini/micro HDMI connectors commonly used on small devices (not including this laptop) are garbage. [...]
Just got mine for 450 pounds, no starches amazing condition has a very very minor ammount of burn in but you cannot see it when in use.
Hi my friend I got the LG 65” C4 from Richer Sounds for an incredible bargain of £1079 4 weeks ago amazing bargain for the other room in my house & in June 2025, I bought the 77” LG C4 from Richer Sounds for only £1800, I buy all my hifi equipment & home cinema sound equipment only from Richer Sounds they really are the best thanks for all your great videos peace ✌️
I also hate genAI. I own an RTX 5080, a 42 inch LG C4 OLED, a Switch 2, and a PS5. Fuck tech.
I love mine so much, as a graphics designer trained to see the tiniest details I'm totally satisfied with, C4 can achieve whatever I want with little adjustment and it's so bright that I never need to go above 70% OLED pixel brightness 🔆. Never used it for TV channels just for advanced 4k HDR always native gaming and streaming services such as Prime and others which support HDR and Dolby Vision. I'm using it for 98% HDR and Dolby Vision content Life is Good 😊 sound is unexpectedly good for TV for me excellent
I just picked up a 65" open box (brand new) from my local Best Buy for $343 - $100 LG coupon for $243 lol. No idea why it was discounted so low, but I wasn't about to question it. I had them open it and test it out before buying it. Very happy with it.
So happy. I just got an incredible deal on a new C4 65''. Black Friday deal, bought for €800 (930$). Found it online, but I had to go to the store. After some confusion and the seller not applying the discount, they finally got it. I couldn't find a 65'' anywhere else for less than €1300

LG C4 77" $1599USD in Oct 2025. I think i don't need worry about renewed in 5-8 years
I just bought the 55 inch version of this. I’m blown away because my previous TV was a LG 47” from 2009! And the price was almost exactly the same as the 2009”!
My first LG tv ever......I have had like 23 Samsungs over the years....this is a game changer !! Love this unit!
Just got a 48” C4 for £520🤣. It was on sale on the LG website for £649 and then I had an additional 20% off with Unidays. Pretty good deal imo
Just got the 55 inch C4 and WOW! I love this TV it looks incredible. It truly feels like a high end TV for being a mid range TV and now it’s a reasonable price since the C5 is out
I recently got the 48" LG C4 and I wouldn't swap it for any of the 55, 65 or whatever is bigger. It's PERFECT on PS5 AND ON PC 144HZ, its HDR and Dolby Vision are brutal, nothing that its larger versions have to envy of the 55, although it has a little less brightness, I prefer less heat and less pixel wear.
I’ve just ordered the 77” LG C4 in the uk from LG’s online store for £1370, if your a student or have access to a student email, you can get a hefty student discount on the LG store on top of the sale price
I bought the C4 and have a S90C in the house. My C4 is freaking amazing clear, vibrant, natural colors. Its is worth every penny and I enjoy it a bit more more than my S90C due to its more real life looking picture.
The LG C4 does interst me at the sort of prices you mention - currently I have (and have been very happy with) a 55in LG CX :-)
heck, I WISH the remote was a s good as a wii remote. Its basically just got a gyro sensor in it. Youd think it would be cheap enough to stick two IR lights into the bezel and a sensor in the remote to give it more accurate tracking.
I got so freaking lucky to get a 65 inch c4 from walmart for 495
Just ordered a C4 42 inch for £400 as I had discount cards from my job, should make a banging gaming/bedroom tv!
I just bought a C4 77inch a week ago and I am blown away by the colours and luminescence. I came from an old 2017 LG LED , it was time to upgrade and I am glad I did.
Listening to your advice, without thinking I bought a LG C4 yesterday and I'm delighted, everything you said is 100% correct. Now wandering for SOUNDBAR
[...] Excellent picture etc. [...]
I just got a 65” C4 for $1396 a couple of weeks ago on Amazon.
Just got this TV last week and the picture quality is incredible. I also picked up the S80T LG Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and it has enhanced my viewing experience dramatically. It's funny that you mention the ads because I made sure to turn all that off so I don't have constant trailers playing on the home screen. I was also able to assign some shortcuts to the numbered buttons on the remote for apps that I use frequently that don't already have a designated button like Netflix or Disney+ so that's been nice. [...]
Got mine In April, i think no difference with the upcoming C5 except the new magic remote.
I have a 55" LG OLED C4. For some reason, no matter the calibration, the picture has a noticeable more red tint to it. [...]
Recently got a 65inch C4, and upgrade from a 55 inch cX,so happy with it and on top of that got a brand new ps5 with it from Currys, sold that and my CX so essentially paid £900 for it
[...] They matched the Sevenoaks £1399 price and then still did the ANY TV £150 trade in discount. [...]
Had the first neo qled in 2021 very good TV , went to get the 90d but decided to go for the C4 oled instead , absolutely best decision I could of made , I'll never go back to neo qled , the oled is unbelievable
Got my first oled 55 inch on Black Friday 1079 from Walmart 🔥 I’m enjoying it so far
I’ve been having an issue with my LG OLED 55c4. I swear I’m noticing “grainy” picture quality after using the tv for months. [...]
Just bought the 65" C4 from Richer Sounds it was £1499 with free £300 LG Sound bar it was reduced to £1399 and I got an extra £25 off as a VIP member so paid £1374. Amazing TV for this price.
I bought a 55" model a coiple of weeks ago dor £905 and I am over the moon with it. [...]
