LG C4 OLED The best 42" TV / Monitor on the market?

Today, we check the LG C4 EVO OLED. The C series has been the favorite of LG'S TV lineup for many years. However, the G series and now the MLA G4 have taken center stage. In this video, I discuss and showcase why that shouldn't be . The C series is better than ever.
Special thanks to Value Electronics for supplying the LG C4. Please consider making your next AV purchase through them valueelectronics.com/ or call them directly at 914 723 3344 and ask for Robert or Wendy and please mention Brian at BRIAN'S TECH THERAPY

The c series has barely changed the last 5 years. You'll be getting a newer gen panel, which wasn't a big change. They mixed panels with the c1 and no one noticed. Of course the small changes every year add up. It'll be a little brighter, just enough to notice, but you won't be wow'ed The g4 gives you MLA which is something legitimately new. If it was my money I would be getting the G4 or I simply wouldn't bother upgrading. What you have is a still a great tv. Especially if you're just comparing it to the same tier from a few years ago.

Brian! I'm torn. I have a 42C2 i use for work and gaming. I was thinking of upgrading to a 32" QD OLED monitor (one of the 2024 models). Then I started thinking of perhaps using a 55" Samsung QD OLED. Then I was thinking maybe that is too big. With this video, im thinking of swapping the 42C2 to a 42C4. What i like about the C series - 4 x hdmi 2.1 ports, glossy screen, dolby vision, apps built in. The QD Oled monitor has a bit higher peak brightness, better color luminance, higher refresh rate, a bit more comfortable screen size. The QD OLED tv would be the brightest, high color luminance, but I'd be about 3 feet away (if gaming, i could probably scoot back but while working, id be about 3-4 feet from the screen). Hmm. Help!

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

Honestly I love the 42 C4 but is It enough of an upgrade? I'd so no at the same size. The QD-OLED monitors are very cool but seldom match the peak brightness of the QD-OLED TV'S. 55" QD-OLED would be a great solution but might be too big . I go 48" C4.

Hey mate. Thanks for running this, great video. I've put this on order but the shop salesperson ask me to consider the 32inch 4k alienware. I do prefer to get this..

Great question! The only advantage the Alienware could have is a display port connection as well as hdmi2.1. Other than that the alien ware couldn't compete in terms if picture quality even if the Alienware is QD-OLED. They tend to be matte and not as bright as a QD-OLED TV. Also the LG is larger and can be both a monitor and TV. Hope this helps

[@phantomflame0658]

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY The LG is a better display in almost everything than the Alienware. Blacks aren't purple in daytime, colours (native mode is a gamechanger), HDR performance, the ability to multitask so easily. Alienware might have slightly more accurate highlights at high brightness (no white pixel "washing out") but in my experience this is never an issue as most highlights will be near-white anyway. Text clarity is also no issue whatsoever - at 125% scaling I never complained about blurryness. I am an aerospace engineer and use this for both work, personal use and PC gaming. It is absolutely perfect for this task. If you sit at a decent distance it will be comfy. I also notice MUCH less eye strain compared to my previous LCD setup. I'm not sure what is causing this, either the size or OLED technology. But it is so comfortable to work and game for hours. Once you get used to this real estate you will never be able to go back to normal sized monitors! Never! The only reason I'd get the Alienware is because you have no space or have an extremely shallow desk so the display is too big. Or if you play competitive games where you need that high refresh rate. A bit plus is also the fact it's a smart TV too. So you can watch Netflix and others with 100% support. It looks better than streaming from PC. Don't have to worry about stupid settings and your browser not wanting to stream hdr properly and all that. I'd get a second monitor on the side for stuff like Teams or music player, and if you need to present things. Cause if you share your screen people will complain everything is too small and hard to read as they will be on small 24 inch 1080p monitors.

Should i change my 42c2 on 42c4? Rtx 4080 pc)

[@ANDREWHALL28]

I've not got a big front room and my current 43 inch Samsung is arguably too big for it How does this compare to the new Samsung 42inch Oled however

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

This beats it as the LG C4 has better processing and feature set including Dolby Vision. The Samsungs at the 42" size are not QD-OLEDs so they have absolutely no advantage. C4 easy choice my friend

When i enable 144hz on this tv the colors are extremely washed out is that normal? Im using a 4080 and hdmi 2.1. Nothing i do can fix this other than turning off 144hz and puting it on 120hz. I tried enabling and disabling HDR and entire PC is wash out no matter what i do unless i switch off 144hz.

[@CRF250R1521]

POSSIBLE FIX: I noticed you have VRR set to OFF, this might actually be it as i noticed the washed out colors after i enabled g-sync.

Do you think the 42" and 48" C4s are brighter than the 32" QD-Oled monitor options from Asus/MSI/Gigabyte that are hitting the market right now and here soon?

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

I do! I really like the QD-OLED monitors but even the ones from SAMSUNG aren't very bright. However at the monitors size they don't need to be very bright

[@dangcao3370]

100% for sure. I have both C2 42" and MSI 32URX monitor, the HDR on new QD-OLED monitor can not beat the HDR on these TVs. I'm thinking of returning the MSI and back to my C2 42" since I'm used to the big size and more brightness in HDR contents

[@TheBoomerSooner]

I’ve just bought this TV. It’s the first time I’ve opted for LG over Sony, but I just couldn’t justify getting the A90K with it being over two years old at this stage. I just hope the LG C4 impresses when it arrives. Really wished Sony would’ve come out with an A90K succcessor this year

How are things on OLED today with "Black crush"? This is critical for the monitor, otherwise the monitor would not be a monitor if it did not have higher quality standards than the TV. Why Sony abandoned the OLED matrix in their new bvm Hx310...

I have the 45” OLED and if you’re using it for gaming the poor ppi is overblown and I’d go 21:9 at 1440p with an 800R curve over this. For gaming that is. I’ll be picking up a 42” OLED for all other stuff.

Brian, in all honesty, is it really better than the C3? For me just doesn’t seem so, what do you think?

It's not night and day. The C3 is still incredible. If you don't need 144hz or dolby Vision filmaker mode, then grab the C3. The c4 also has the professional tone mapping feature. There are these features and if you don't need them then c3

C4 is a little better (144hz is nice) but not worth almost twice the cost. When it comes down in price (when C5 launches) it'll be a steal. But with the C3 you won't be disappointed!

Peak brightness in SDR is just "contrast" in the options. Default is like 85 but 100 will give you brightest highlights. Will make text a bit more straining on the eyes.
