LG C4 OLED

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. [...]

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 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.

[...] Excellent picture etc. [...]

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. [...]

I just got a 65 inch lg c4 for my bedroom, upgrading from a Vizio E60-e3, which was a 4k hdr walmart tv from 8 years ago. [...] Brightness isnt a concern for me at all, since i will mostly use it with the lights off for gaming. The smoothness of motion alone is worth the price. [...]

[...] Need an egregious example, watch Twilight Zone episode "A Nice Place to Visit." The sky and white coats look like bugs are crawling all over them. My cheap TV from 10 years ago renders it as a tiny pleasant graininess. [...] 2: Buggy handling of Dolby Vision and Atmos. If you are watching a show where some commercials have Atmos and some don't, it flutters on and off so much that the TV loses the sound bar and needs power cycled. [...] 4: One custom setting for all inputs, so I can't save one brightness setting for noon and another for midnight. Once again, failing compared to a ten year old cheap Vizio.

I bought the hype and sold my C8 for a C4. [...] The C8 had far more powerful software which gave you options to delete and edit. [...] The input screen now has LG Channels and Live TV that cannot be removed. The remote has more recessed button which are harder to locate and press. [...] Oh yeah, the speakers are awful, a big letdown from the C8; it's tinny and irritating. Use a sound bar. [...]

Coming from a 2016 LG B6, the new C4 is a night and day difference. Using it on a PC playing all my games in 4k 144hz is an absolute dream and worth the extra cost imo.

[...] 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. [...]

I'm mostly very happy with my LG C4 as a home theatre centerpiece, and I did have it online so that I could use the apps for YouTube and Jellyfin. However, the lack of support for modern 4k rips (HEVC+DTS) ended up being a dealbreaker and I finally ditched the built in software for a fire stick instead. [...]

[...] I think my only annoyance is that the HW I have it running on isn't beefy enough for transcoding, and my LG C4 can't play some of the 4K codecs natively (particularly around DV). [...]

I do actually have this setup going with a Cable Matters adapter [1] + a custom firmware I found [2] and chroma/RGB 4:4:4 + HDR + VRR/Freesync + 4k,120hz for their Linux PC on a TV works great now on my LG C4 TV with Bazzite's gaming mode, though: 144Hz is unstable 12-bit color is unstable (10-bit works fine), and gamescope doesn't have a way to limit color depth (kwin does), so I had to put in place an EDID override in the EDID, limiting the FreeSync range to 60-120Hz (which should still allow frame doubling/tripling) seemed to be better -- the default 40Hz caused a bit of flickering because the AMD driver would drop the refresh rate down to 38.5Hz or so. Should write about this in more detail. [1] [2]

[...] I still cannot use my LG C4 as a monitor in full capacity because AMD on Linux does not support HDMI 2.1 That will never be possible. [...] Another option would be using a displayport output and a DP to HDMI converter, as e.g. [...]

[...] I own a 65 LG OLED from 2020 and I have noticed burn in since last year. Just after three years of use. [...]

I’ve had this TV for 8 months and am still blown away by it. It’s awesome.

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. [...]

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. [...]

[...] 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.

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 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

5:23 that’s my main issue with this TV, the ABL is jarring in NHL 25, I have to turn peak brightness down which defeats the purpose of the C4 increased brightness, regret not buying the B4

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’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.

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!

Just bought a C4 55" at Best Buy for $1199.00 US. I am so happy, the price for these was always just out of reach.

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

December 2024 I got an 85 Bravia 9. This week adding an 83 C4 to the collection

December 2024 I got an 85 Bravia 9. This week adding an 83 C4 to the collection

I just got a 65” C4 for $1396 a couple of weeks ago on Amazon.

March 2025 I found a deal on LG C4 48" 4K OLED Smart TV where to buy the 43 inch model was $1899, but some deal on right now the 48inch is $1999! Thats 5 inches for around 58 USD!. Goes to show if youre looking at one size, click the other sizes, you might get a surprise!

Got mine In April, i think no difference with the upcoming C5 except the new magic remote.

[...] The g4 is everything this pretty young lady says it is but its not in my eyes worth 600 dollars more for a little more brightness. [...]
