It’s still not worth $1500 when I can get a 32 inch Gigabyte Aorus fo32u2p with DP 2.1 with 4K 240hz for $1200. LG has to understand that they’re not only competing against other TV manufacturers anymore. They’re competing against gaming monitors too. Especially with all the gaming features they like to advertise on their OLED TVs.

I have the C4 42 after selling my c3 42. Using it as a monitor with my 4090. All I can say is it is much brighter than the c3 and the 144hz is noticeable over the 120hz. Makes the absolute best monitor and prior to this I had a Neo g8 240hz 4k Mini led.

[@dicas1988]

Because HDR eats up a lot of brightness and pictures don't pop. So a brighter screen is required to make the picture pop. Also, brightness is important for people who watch TV in daylight therefore a higher brightness makes the TV have a better picture

To be fair, it really depends where you use your TV. If its in a dark room, it still gets plenty bright. My LG CX has to be turned down in some cases because in a pitch black room, it can still blind you lol. But if you turn on the lights, then yeah its not "bright enough" to make it pop, and some content can look dark. That said, i've loved my LG CX for years, and this seems to be close to that, so personally it doesnt bother me, but I do wish it had the option to go brighter.

[@bren.r]

QD-OLED sucks due to the subpixel layout, and it’s especially noticeable at low PPI, which 4K is at 42”. So no, you don’t want QD-OLED for a monitor.

[@ProphetIsaiah-b5g]

I don't get what the big problem with dimming is for desktop use. I disabled it with the technician remote control on my C2. I spend around 12 hours a day every day on it using it as an office monitor and also for gaming. It's so bright that I just keep the OLED pixel brightness always between 35-45 (and sometimes even that feels almost too bright) and I do at least once a week the pixel cleaning process. There are absolutely no signs of burn in. IMHO if we're being practical: $1k and being able to work and game every day on it even if it ends up lasting only 2 years with no burn-in is a money well-invested. I just can't go back to punishing my eyeballs with regular monitors or small screen real-estate.

[@-XTC-]

THIS - i don't get all the talk about brightness and burn in... who the fuck uses these TVs at 50%++ brightness? As a PC monitor? I have a 42C2 since May 2022 and disabled ALL screen protective measures via service remote... gues what - no burn in after 10.000+ hours.

So about as bright as an LG CX? Not bad given how the 42" LG TV's usually have their brightness significantly gimped. And I'd definitely take this over the 32" QD OLED's out now--better real scene brightness, and 144 hz is enough. I do agree that this shouldn't be more than $999 though.

[@b-radicalklinkydinky9202]

It's been a month since I've had the 42" C3 model and I absolutely love it that I ordered another 42" C3 and to find out they're coming out with a C4 model. I guess I'm fine with it since it'll be years till consoles get 4K 120. So I'm happy with the 42" C3 models for now.

[@pkalellis]

The LG OLED G4 seems to be having a significant issue with HDMI2 (eARC). Connecting external video sources to HDMI2 (which work on the other the other 3 HDMIs) do not produce an image (but you can hear sound). I have done all the troubleshooting in the world in order to try to isolate the issue to no avail (changing HDMI cables, factory resets, hard resets, removing the HDMIs one by one and re-adding them one by one, turned off HD color). Nothing works. The interesting thing is that this issue temporarily goes away with a hard reset, but it quickly returns. After unsuccessful attempts at getting effective tech support from LG, I purchased a second 65 G4. Exact same issue! On 4/4/24, LG pushed down an update 3.10.27 which has not resolved the prob(in fact, it's not even addressed in the release notes). I should also point out that the setup I am using is the exact setup I have had with a C9, CX and a C3 just before getting the G4. This HDMI2 issue never occurred with the other TVs. The devices I am talking about which work on other HDMIs but not in HDMI2 of the above-referenced TVs are Fire TV 4K stick, Nintendo Switch, Apple TV 4K and PS5. If this is a software issue, then it can hopefully be addressed quickly by LG, seeing that the G4 is their flagship OLED and the problem is with the most important HDMI - the HDMI2. However, if this is a hardware problem (difficult to believe that both units were defective - in fact, I heard from another LG customer that he is having the same issue with a 83 G4), then LG has its work cut out for it. I can't think of many people who would be willing to wait for a hardware fix which would require for a part to be replaced by a tech's visit on a brand new TV which has been lauded by LG as ground-breaking. All this would be very easily clarified by LG, but up until this point, it seems to be pushing customers (at least me) to an endless loop of bad customer service and then either that (a) the unit is defective and sine it's under the 30 (or 60 in my case) day return period, it can be returned, or (b) to send a tech to diagnose the issue. What exactly the tech would do beyond what i have done to troubleshoot has not been communicated by LG (unless they believe I would be conformable in having the tech open up a brand new TV and start exploring . . .). This is very disappointing. I hope that the various reviewers take note of this very easily identifiable problem (all you have to do is connect a few video sources into HDMI2 and observe for a few hours while turning the TV off and on an again). This way, the interested customers would be informed and LG would provide some information on this issue.

Far as sound, i am hearing a random tick from the speakers when things are not making sound like a paused video or just on Home Screen as if someone is tinking with a cable. Should I remove the 3.5 jack and rely on BT for my HK sound sticks or use the 3.5 and not BT for the best audio experience possible?

Saved myself a good chunk to put towards a rtx 3070 which isnt the best for 4k 120hz but i just play valorant and non demanding games. So it will do for now . Oled is really game changing and the glossy finish is insane. Before i got the C3 i had tried the LG 27 ultragear oled monitor but the matte finish was not doing it any justice. It was 240hz but even the 120hz on the LG C2 feels just as good . I wall mounted the c2 42 with these extreme slick wall mount cost me 20$ from amazon . Its the best thing ever :D

So we still only have small upgrades over the old LG CX (which has 800 nits peak, 120hz). I would love to see a G4 in 42" with proper brightness - these mediocre C upgrades are not it.

[@YoloVib3s]

Just got my 42" C3 last week. I couldn't justify paying double the price for 24hz

[@MARINOVUČKO]

should I upgrade from C2? Using it as a monitor

[@Sean-fj9pn]

Buying this.

[@stevepetrovski8611]

in your specs part of video its the qned led not oled ?

[@CRF250R1521]

When i enable 144hz on this tv the colors shift and are washed out is that normal? Seems like this tv can only 144hz with extreme washed out colors.

Have you tried another HDMI 2.1 cable?

it would be nice to try out the new s95d modded, would be nice to know what the brightness is on those tv.

Getting the remote tomorrow.i guess it will hit 3000 nits

@@RZLK-02 Man it would be awesome to create a video and showcasing some games, 3k nits is insane if possible!

[@luyaowang5693]

Are you sure the 42" is enabling 144hz? What I heard was they were putting 144hz on C4 with 55" and up but C4 42" still remained 120hz.

[@Unpack]

is this better than SONY A90 42INCH?????

[@nikolakatanic]

Will this TV start dimming if I'm playing the game though?

[@XeqtrM1]

I would prefer it to be 32 inch so I can use 3 of em I mean my desk is 300 cm after all so 42 just bit to Big in my opinion

[@8K240hz]

going to return my 42" c3 tomorrow and then get the 48" c4 once the price drops

[@definingslawek4731]

When did you get yours? Are you planning to use the 48 as a pc monitor?

[@8K240hz]

@@definingslawek4731 i returned the 42" C3 but didn't get the 48" C4, i bought the C3 about a month ago. I think i'm just gonna get an OLED pc monitor as I really don't need a screen so big.

[@MARINOVUČKO]

Why do you dont like MATT displays, its suits better for monitor than glossy. I have C2 and its to shiny inho

[@Buffinator1988]

Theres always so much focus on using these 42inch models as a monitor, but I'm more interested in using something like this for a smaller room where 55inches wouldnt be practical. If im watching an SDR TV broadcast or some old movies (not HDR) will it be too dim in anything but a dark room? The market for higher end TV's in smaller sizes is sadly very under-served.

agreed

To be honest for pc i won't get a monitor or tv that doesn't have Dp 2.1 yes no GPU has it yet but since I'm gonna upgrade to the 50 series when it release and the 50 series gonna have it why would i pay 1300 for a monitor with out it over a monitor with it that cost 1200 doesn't make sense but why did the LG c4 jump up so much in price

[@thedisplayguy]

4K 144Hz 10bit HDR fits within the 48Gbps of HDMI 2.1. You would gain nothing by adding DisplayPort if HDMI isn’t having issues.

[@XeqtrM1]

@@thedisplayguy i do get that but why wousd buy a monitor like the asus qd oled that cost 1300 when the gigabyte qd oled that cost 1200 and has the dp 2.1 it dosent make sense to me to pay more for less thats all

4:16 RTINGS reviewed the 65" model and got 940 nits, sucks that LG has to dumb down the smaller models. This would be a great monitor if manufacturers didn't treat it like a red-head stepchild of the OLED world.

Seeing the G4 in the brightness chart like smashing the 42" 🥲😂

I will wait for this to go on sale and get this, Contrast and brightness is better and the 144hz, I have patience. Oh and the 55 inch and up is brighter and has brightness booster.

[@definingslawek4731]

When it goes on sale it will be like 6 months out from c5. Will you wait again then? And then wait for that one to be one sale? Where does it end?

[@RZLK-02]

Wait for 42s90d..probably u can mod that to get higher brightness
