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.

[@Raxsephon]

WoW! nice review, just what I was looking for, it's in my plans to use this as a monitor, just a question, may I ask for the Color/monitor profile?, as you corrected the accuracy I'm wondering if you can share that correction.

[@markemery1353]

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.

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.

Been gaming on a C1 and as PC monitor and cero burn in, super awesome tv monitor. I just ordered 3 of these for my racing sim.

[@rob4601]

I don’t get why the brightness thing is so important. My c2 is run at 10%. 100 % makes me feel like staring into the sun. Why do you want it to go so bright. Why is Samsung being brighter better. Do people sit with this outside? Ps thank you for the text part. NB into. Thank you

[@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

@@rob4601 I know this is a older post but you should never lower brightness with HDR

[@leonthesleepy]

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.

it's a scam so that people buy the bigger sizes and pay more. and it's not just LG. the other brands do the same. Samsung S90C is QD Oled. the 42" isn't. Sony does the same thing. the 42" size is not QD Oled as the larger sizes.

[@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.

[@Shadowsmoke11]

42'' size for a desk. Yikes. And I thought 32'' was too big.

@@bren.r Agreed, I used the Samsung QD OLED and even though the colors could get bright the image was worse for PC's then LGs pixel alignement. Hopefully one day Samsung will fix the pixel arrangement on QD's. As for right now the best PC OLED I've tried remains to be LG's

[@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.

[@Keivz]

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.

Great review! Do 42" and 48" C4 uses the same panels as the last year? I think I read the panels for 42/48" are different from the rest of the range.

[@aaronjohnson2999]

You can go into the service menu and turn off the dimming features. It’s not hard.

[@definingslawek4731]

You cannot. Or atleast you cannot on the C3. I tried but that requires you to permanently be in 'factory mode' which means every time you turn it on you need to wait like more than 30 seconds for the factory mode text box to dissapear. Or is there a way around this that you've found?

Don't waste your time with regular WOLED, the colours are lousy, they suffer with too much green in the image, and the out of box black crushing has to be corrected with a pro calibration. Go for QD-OLED instead. ;)

that's cause C4 is new(back then when it was released of course). when LG C3 released, the price for 65" was this: $2,599. TV's get price cuts. if you buy early you pay full price, and if you buy later you pay less cause of price cut. it is what it is.

[@westibbs]

that's cause the 42" size don't have the EVO panel which is brighter. Samsung and Sony do similar crap, and it's kinda worse. the QD Oled models, in 42" are not QD Oled. they're WOLED. if you buy the 42" you get a regular Oled and miss all the benefits of QD Oled that the bigger sizes of the same TV model have. what they do is a scam to make you buy the bigger size and pay more. if you don't want to pay more for the bigger size for MLA, EVO, and QD Oled panels, then you pay less and get less. this is a legit scam.

Even in day light or fully lit room.Youd go like 55 inch lg oled and the price is virtually the same and use that as tv from 10 feet away. Maybe 100 eur difference on a sale.

[@michaelkhalil8296]

Is this a good TV for console gaming

[@pedropierre9594]

It has a 10/10 for Console gaming in the majority of review sites

These are the options I'm looking at too

[@MrKram1337]

I’m trying to decide this myself. Or even the Asus pg32ucdm too

[@SapiaNt0mata]

this TV on game mode cannot enable peak brightness to increase the brightness, so at 100% window it has 200ish nits. rtings site has given it a 6.4 in SDR brightness. this is not good TV for PC gaming.

[@NoLimitN1ko]

Looking to upgrade from the C7, what are the differences between the C3 and C4. I’ll be using almost exclusively for content streaming and not gaming. I’ll be getting 55in or the 65in. Thanks.

[@RaphaelZN2301]

Maybe I missed that, but why not include max brightness in SDR with game mode on? Is it more than ~190 nits which the C2 already had?

[@SapiaNt0mata]

yes, but it's a bit over 200.

[@usasupra23]

Please Help Me: I just installed this exact TV and only actions I’ve done so far is plug HDMI from new  Mini Mac Pro and paired my HK speakers via BT and also plugged in the 3.5 jack as backup. I get some LG prompts asking for a code so it will default to  I put it something but I can’t find any code waiting on screen or on any device and I’m stuck on this screen. 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? Do I need to shut off the TV speakers maybe as that might conflict or will that help with more stereo like sound?

[@rococopati]

I have a 42 c2 i use it for playing in consoles for pc is kinda big i will get a 32 4k oled on the future that is the perfect size for a pc monitor

[@technerd5489]

Do you know if the 42” and 48” C4 have Evo pannels. If you check the box on the C3 it says at the very bottom those sizes use a different pannel.

[@rickcano3863]

What laptop will this go good with to game stream ok the ps5

[@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.

[@rjj00]

agreed

[@weltenleser]

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.

[@SapiaNt0mata]

that's cause 42" don't have EVO panel that increases the brightness. if they release G4 in 42" it won't have MLA. Sony and Samsung do the same crap. Samsung S90C is QD Oled. the 42" size is not. it's WOLED. Sony does the same for the 42". if a TV is QD Oled, the 42" size is not. these are scam practices to make people pay more for the bigger sizes that have EVO, MLA, and QD Oled.

[@RZLK-02]

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

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.

[@AdrianusTirta]

Have you tried another HDMI 2.1 cable?

[@CRF250R1521]

@@AdrianusTirta yes i did, i was able to fix my problem by disabling VRR.

[@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.

[@MARINOVUČKO]

should I upgrade from C2? Using it as a monitor

[@GDBAKED81]

FYI all the C series TVs are good and all come with four HDMI 2.1 so you can go as far back as a C1 and still get the same quality 👍🏾

[@MARINOVUČKO]

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

[@SapiaNt0mata]

cause glossy display have clearer image quality and show better colors. the matte display have a blur that decreases image quality and colors. a glossy display is better than a matte.

[@bungalowtomcat1]

where is this LINK to get the best picture Settings ???????????????????

[@noidsuper]

I wish LG would make a monitor just like this but at 32 inches. 42 is just too big for most desk setups.

[@bren.r]

Even 32” is too big. I think 27” is the sweet spot without having to move your head much.

[@noidsuper]

@@bren.r Depends on your desk. I’d wager most desks are at least deep enough to handle 32”. The only time I can agree with you is for particularly small desks or for competitive gaming. I’d rather use a 32” monitor in 95% of use cases.

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.

I ended up getting the c1. later date. from some place. got a deal on it to. 48" It's ok. IDK. Put rrating settings. Gsync. no more tearing. Web os is meh. found the main apps. all good. There is root also. idk any use for it. used the program to add retroarch. plays ps1 alright. retro arch and kodi don't need root to install with the program i found.

[@Deltax5]

there is a color bend. Forum post is to see what model you have. i got the evo c1. it's blue on a angle. They should of found another way.
