The TV to purchase
17/05/2024 07:43
I have always considered the LG C series to be the best value for money as far as purchasing an OLED TV is concerned, and the C4 continues to hold that title.
Picture quality - as expected - is extremely good. Perfect black levels, excellent colour gamut, punchy images, and bright highlights in HDR. The TV is the brightest 'C' series yet. The TV is certainly an improvement over the C2 and C3 - both of which I have in my house at present. Whilst I think we're nearing the 'peak' of picture quality, it is still good to see we are seeing improvements in each successive generation of the C series TVs.
Sound quality - I generally do not use TV for sound as I have a dedicated 5.1.2 setup, however, sound quality is decent for a slim television set. But I will always recommend a dedicated sound setup if you care about a complete AV experience.
Gaming - Perfect for anyone who plays PS5/PC/Xbox games. 4x HDMI 2.1 ports up up 144 Hz (PC gamers will only really benefit from this) and VRR/G-Sync.
Interface + Remote - The interface is clean and easy to navigate. I do not like to be bombarded with advertisements however. The remote works well; essentially unchanged over the previous generations. Easy to navigate with the control pointer.
Negatives - No heatsink. The heatsink would bring longetivity to this panel and help protect against image retention and burn in. OLED technology will always succumb to burn in and you will have to be careful to rotate your TV habits and never to leave static images. In the perfect world, there would be ZERO burn-in for the C4. But I suspect we will need to wait for MicroLED to have OLED like picture quality without the downsides.
Overall - An excellent TV. Yes the G series is technically better, but I don't think it's worth the additional price. The C series is the TV to purchase IMO.
