[@canihavesomenamehere]

I was going to get the C3, but now I might just wait for black friday/christmas sales and get the C4 because of the brightness difference!

[@pedro_ferreirinha]

C3 and C4 almost same brightness

[@haewymetal]

There is supposedly no difference in brightness, its like 10-20cd/m2 which is hardly something you will notice. If it was 40-50 then definitely. Better buy an MLA panel instead.

[@m4ko288]

The flicker issue is 1000% your cable. I also had it on my C2. NOTHING helps for a long time. Not even buying the most expensive HDMI cables. However: It gets 100% fixed if you use an optical HDMI cable! They are not even that expensive (30 bucks on amazon). The actual issue is not gsync or your gpu or your PC or your TV. Its static charge on the electronics that somehow is not properly shielded with LG TVs. They have some sort of fault on their TVs mainboards. Just buy an optical cable like the ones from FIBBR and you will never have any flicker ever again.

[@DirtyDan3090]

Thanks for the advice i hope this fixes a similar issue I had with my c2 where HDR content would flicker ghosting colors and look bad, bought this c4 and a optical hdmi and I hope that fixes the issue i had while gaming

[@pjjacome1632]

[@AVerySillySausage]

You never buy these TVs at launch, the prices very wildly. From what I hear the c4 is actually cheaper at launch than the c3 in regions outside the US. Will be the same story in a year where the C5 comes out, the c4 will be at or even below the c3 price now. Basically better off buying a gen behind every time.

[@inceptionsd]

Have you tried decreasing the VRR range in CRU?

I have the LG C2 42” with an rtx 4090. Would you suggest to upgrade to the C4? Thanks

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

Only if you really want it brighter and want the higher 144Hz. If you’re ok with the current brightness levels, then i personally think it’s not worth it at the current prices. If you get it heavily discounted like the current C3 prices, then it might be worth it. IF you’re not satisfied with brightness, then go for it 🔥 the brighter display makes it better

[@SND_ANT]

Fire review! Just ordered this to compare with the AW32, what’s your daily man? Or do you just switch up every other week? 😂

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

I don't have a daily lol I switch it up all the time so I can get accustomed to the different sizes and resolutions to give out my review and opinions lol

[@King_Ancalagon]

Is there a option to turn on 120Hz and 60Hz

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

If you don’t turn of PC 144Hz Mode, it will just be locked to 120Hz. Other than that, you can change Hz on the PC side, but there’s no way to change it natively on the TV itself

[@Keivz]

This will be my next monitor. But I’ll wait until 2025 to get one 😅 Not worth it at the current prices. $899 or lower and I’m in. Edit: Rtings hasn’t reviewed the 42” C4 (it’s in their queue). You cannot use their review of the 65” size for brightness figures.

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

great review. i already have a 42" c2 and anything else would just be a side-grade i feel. i might pick this up on sale as my c2 does have some burn in now (my decision to turn off all the burn in protection lol) and 144hz would be nice but flickering needs to be ironed out. i know there's tons of oled/qd-oled monitors out there now but i love how clean lg's tvs are and you get great value for the money...i know, as i was always upgrading to the latest high end ips gaming monitor back in the day...until i picked up a cx. after 5 minutes i knew ips was dead and i stopped using my "gaming monitor" until i finally replaced it with the 42" c2.

[@haleygao]

It sounds disappointing that burning does happen.

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

​@@haleygao static images over long periods of time will cause burn in. the one thing that really annoyed me about the c2 was the asbl, which caused dimming of the picture in games and regular desktop use. i was forced to turn it off using a service remote. i believe that was the only thing i actually turned off, i also had my brightness to 100% for a bit. after about a year the burn in became noticeable even with a screensaver and being mindful, it's too easy to over expose it with static images during desktop use. maybe if you run it at really low brightness but at that point it's just annoying and not worth it. it is what it is, i think the picture you get is too good to not use an oled. i have since set up different brightness levels for desktop/gaming use. no regrets and i'd turn off asbl again on any newer model if it was ruining my experience.

[@lllongreen]

So you know you cannot access service menu on the c4 anymore. You need a special program on Your PC that can re-enable the service menu, and it's not known when LG will also remove this possibility

[@Macho_Man_Randy_Savage]

​@@lllongreen good to know. without a service remote i wouldn't have been able to live with the constant dimming so this might influence my purchase, unless the c4 "fixed" it. which sucks because i really like the product.

Which cable are you using?

[@BeatemupMaster]

How is it here in the Video that the Input lag is 0,03ms? I mean, on other Information, it has 5ms or at least 144hz 4,7ms Is it because the 2024 Version is what it makes? On Amazon, it's as Expensive as the 2023 Version. Can anyone Explain it?

[@SrUnr3al]

0.03ms is the pixel response time on pretty much every OLED panel. 4.7ms is the input lag.

can we change the resolution to 2k?

[@GabeRobert-uf1uy]

should i get this c4 or the alienware AW3225QF ? they're at the same price in my country

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

The size difference really changes the experience, but if it were me, I would personally go for AW3225QF, since using it as a monitor is easier and isn't so huge.

[@HUSTLEONLY-kz5bf]

Would this TV still work with a 1440p mid-range GPU? For example: a 4070ti super?

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

It will work with any GPU, but supported resolutions depend on the card itself. Since 40-series all support HDMI 2.1, you'll be able to output 4K @ 120Hz and 144Hz 🔥

[@diederik6975]

It is important to note that 1440p on a 4k screen will not look as good as 1440p on a 1440p screen - probably a bit blurry. So maybe you could check if you can run 4k with DLSS quality for example.

It's 144hz on PC, which means it would be natively 144hz.

[@FIREWOLFTECH]

@@drunkhusband6257 If the C4’s HDMI ports were 144Hz natively, that would mean any device connected to it that can output 144Hz would be able to detect the “native” signal. The reason why LG lists the Refresh Rate as 120Hz “Native” is because there is no need for additional settings or special “effects” to get it to run 120Hz. The fact you have to turn on a special 144hz setting in the menu that ONLY works on PC means that it is not 144Hz native.

[@lllongreen]

Question: the 144hz mode can only be used in game mode ? If so its a dealbreaker as game mode can not be made to look like vivid mode

[@G.Menounos]

No man, it's everywhere the 144hz! Just in game mode you have little bit better letancy😊

I think you’re referring to it being too big for a Gaming Desk Setup. A lot of it depends on viewing distances, size of your desk, and also how you scale the Display. I think whenever you see a huge size bump in TVs or even how phones got so big, the initial reaction is “it’s too big” but when you’re using it for a while, you get used to it.
