42-Inch Class OLED evo C4 Series Smart TV 4K Processor Flat Screen with Magic Remote AI-Powered with Alexa Built-in (OLED42C4PUA, 2024)

Before going too far, this TV is amazing and you can't go wrong getting it. Thats's just the first impressions since it's only been a few days. I've always kept an eye on an LG C-series, along with G and the lesser B. The C5 is now out, so C4's are dropping in price. Compared to other options, it was finally time. I missed out on what was likely a price mistake months ago where the 77" appeared for the price of the 55". The price updated before purchase could be completed. The TV is large, but not all that heavy with the very thin panel on it. I can say I was unsure how to handle during setup it since it's so large and thin. I managed to get it out of the packaging, attach the stand and set it on it's new home by myself. The stand looks like it should require one more screw, but picture instructions didn't say so. There are two holes in the bottom and three in the back to attach the upright portion that then attaches to the TV, but only 4 screws for the job, two below and two in the back, then 4 others to attach the panel to the stand. Initial setup was pretty simple, and settings can always be revisited to make any changes. The picture requires a minor amount of adjustment for my liking. I hate true motion, so that's always the first to go along with most extra processing. Reds were heavily saturated, but easy enough to correct. There's options I may never get through, but they're there. The picture settings can change automatically by detected content, so may need adjustments again for each content type. I have experienced some issue with ARC staying connected with my receiver, but that may be on my hardware, not the TV. Cutting power to everything solves it for a time, usually. It is currently my biggest annoyance, but I'm still getting acquainted with the TV. The picture, the star of the show, it's what you buy this quality TV for and it delivers. The first time the screen went black during a cut scene, I wasn't sure if the TV was still on. Those typical demo videos on screen in the store that are elusive at home are not so with this set. Watching test videos from YouTube with high resolution and frame rate looked incredible. It really lights up a room with it's brightness not even at full power. It's a centerpiece of the room for sure. I'm sure I'll revisit this review in time, but for now, I'm loving this TV and glad we finally got one. Our last new TV is 15 years old, also an LG and has always looked great. I have high hopes for this one too.

I bought the 48", thought it would be smaller but it's actually pretty big and impressive if you're watching from 3-4 ft. The OLED colors and deep blacks are outstanding, it has pretty much all the gaming features you need: VRR, 144 hz, Dolby atmos, HDR, 4 2.1 hdmi ports, etc. I've been mainly playing on a PS5 slim, with the nintendo switch 2 and xbox series s as complements, they all run pretty good, it's a joy to rediscover games with said enhancements. I was also pleasantly surprised by the price, it's cheaper than the B4 55" and the C5 42", for its price you're really getting everything you need, highly recommended.

I bought the LG C4 as replace my 4k/120hz Acer Predator 43 inch monitor that inexplicably died on me after just four years of service. The LG is better in nearly every way. You don't get displayport but do you do get HDMI 2.1 which provides more than enough bandwidth for 4k/144hz with HDR. The clarity and deep blacks on this display are spectacular (as you might imagine an OLED would be). Being a TV it has more functionality than a monitor would, you have a tuner, you have apps, you have a full function remote you have wifi and ethernet. Ten or fifteen years ago, a serious PC gamer would've never gone with a TV over a proper monitor, the input lag was too much, the TV wasn't going to able to display triple digit framerates, etc. But times have changed and now higher end TVs can match or beat some "gaming" monitors in terms of refresh rate and input lag. The only downsides to this TV are that not all adjustments are available in every mode which can make your initial setup frustrating. And while HDR performance is overall good, this display doesn't get as bright as some of the best VA or IPS panels, but you also get much deeper blacks in exchange. In terms of value for money, as a computer monitor it's not bad at all. Dedicated OLED monitors (or even IPS/VA monitors) of this size are going to cost just as much if not more. As a TV though, where prices are generally lower, the price becomes harder to justify.

I've been wanting a C series for a long time and finally got one. Mac Mini M4 Pro using a Highwings HDMI cable (ASIN B08M9HND4F). Picture quality is fantastic. Whites are white. Blacks are black. So much cleaner than my LG IPS display from 2020. Build quality appears to be great except I would have liked hex screw heads for the feet instead of the normal Phillips or JIS style. With the recent price drop I think this is a fantastic purchase. For functionality, WebOS, in my opinion is slow. Even basic settings takes a few seconds for the menu to come up. You are presented with various terms and agreements that you have to agree to. I've only agreed to two of them and so far there hasn't been any more nags. Unfortunately, I find the agreement terms to be less than desirable but I'm still keeping the tv. WebOS has your standard streaming service apps built in. Plex works well. Youtube works well. I haven't tried the other apps but I assume they function just as well. Sound quality is good. Nothing fancy. If sound is important and you won't be using headphones then grab a soundbar. HDMI audio does pass through from the Mac so that works. Bad part.. The Mac Mini M4 does not support HiDPI so those 4k resolutions are okay for graphics but text is not going to look good. I'm running it at 2560x1440 which is what I've been used to and have no is sues with blury text. I've also installed Better Display to help with quick tweaks for brightness and resolution if I want to do any quick changes. Overall I'm pretty happy with this purchase and would recommend the LG C4 and absolutely if you can find one on sale!
