LG C4 OLED Review: The Best High-End TV for Most People

The C4 supports Dolby Vision and different starring forms of HDR, which means you get fantabulous colour highlights erstwhile watching HDR-enabled content. I was peculiarly wowed by the show erstwhile streaming the latest Dune film, which has exceptional colour grading. It besides does ace good with darker content, similar immoderate Game of Thrones oregon Star Wars episodes that you mightiness find annoying to ticker elsewhere.

Speaking of color: This TV is yet agleam capable to vie with the LED displays from Samsung and others. It peaks astatine much than 1,000 nits, which is eye-watering worldly successful astir instances. You tin spot it successful a well-lit country with nary fear. I did find that the sheet tin get a spot wonky erstwhile viewed from utmost broadside angles—another reviewer called it a spot greenish from the side, but I spot much of a teal bluish tint—so I wouldn't prime this if you program connected having a batch of seating astatine the edges of your space.

You'll privation to upgrade your audio. Down-firing speakers don't dependable peculiarly awesome connected immoderate TV, and the C4 is nary exception, but the TV tin sync up with soundbars (like the pictured LG S95TR) successful bid to assistance lend to a larger soundstage. That's a bully enactment for folks who similar to same-brand their purchases and are doing a whole-theater upgrade. Just remember to bargain a soundbar oregon outboard talker strategy for a TV similar this, oregon you're missing retired connected the existent theater-like acquisition it tin provide.

Exceptional Picture, Normal Money

When I deliberation astir conscionable however bully this TV looks, whether I'm successful gaming mode, athletics mode, oregon filmmaker mode, I americium astonished that the terms starts good beneath the $2,000 mark. This TV would person easy been tens of thousands of dollars conscionable a fewer years ago, not that the exertion it uses adjacent existed.

It utilized to beryllium that you had to marque compromises to color, brightness, oregon backlighting to get a TV that could play games arsenic good arsenic it could play Spielberg, but that is nary longer the case. With the C4, you tin plug successful and play your gaming PC with adjacent perfection arsenic you tin with a 4K Blu-Ray subordinate and your favourite releases. Soon enough, the differences betwixt gaming monitors and TVs volition vanish completely.

For now, if you're looking for an fantabulous viewing acquisition and are consenting to walk much than a 1000 bucks for a TV—lest we forget, you tin get also-great models for good nether that—you truly won't find galore models, astatine immoderate price, that look amended than the LG C4. Given however things person gone, I expect to person akin thoughts astir the C5 adjacent year.
