LG 48-Inch Class OLED evo C4 Series Smart TV 4K Processor Flat Screen with Magic Remote AI-Powered with Alexa Built-in (OLED48C4PUA, 2024),Black

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!

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.

Simply put, this TV does it all. You watch movies? Play games? Concerned about how various content (SDR/HDR/gaming) look and perform? The LG C4 showcases it and does it perfectly. The form factor is incredibly thin and the TV is very well engineered. The HDR highlights pop off the screen. The contrast is perfect. The onboard sound system is not optimal, but lets be real… if your getting this TV you have a soundbar/surround setup in mind already. I have the Bose 900 soundbar with sub and surrounds and it sounds so good. Gaming on the PS5 with this TV is absolutely incredible and is a delight. Many reviewers complain of a brightness diminishment in the game optimizer, but this has never bothered me. If I wanted a brighter TV, it would be solely to sear my retinas into blindness. That being said, the game optimizer menu feels like it belongs in your games and like it is a part of your gaming console. It’s just intuitive. Play Returnal, Astro Bot, Horizon, or GOW and you will be grinning from ear to ear. At $1396 for the 65” inch variant, this is a no-brainer. Perhaps reviewers will suggest the Samsung S90D with a QD-OLED panel, but I will ask… would you sacrifice slightly enhanced color vibrancy for inferior image processing? The LG Alpha 9 gen 7 processor is pretty dang incredible. My previous TV was a Sony and I must say that LG has come a LONG way with their processing. It’s on par with Sony at this point. Samsung can’t say the same and at the end of the day, it’s the image quality that counts. The LG C4 has it. The LG G4 is alluring, but we’re reaching a point of diminishing returns. If slightly amped up HDR highlights are worth an extra $900, then you lost the value to performance game. This is TV most everybody should be looking at from a value to performance standpoint. The OS is smooth, but I opted for an Apple TV interface and it has been nothing short of incredible. With Quick Media Switching, everything you connect to this TV will be buttery smooth. Everything you do on this TV will be incredibly immersive. I have no buyer’s remorse and am incredibly happy with my purchase. You get 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs at 144hz if you’re a PC gamer. You get incredible SDR, HDR, and Dolby Vision/Atmos support. You can fine-tune settings on this TV by input setting or by viewing content medium until your heart is content. You get 5 years of OS updates. Tell me what there isn’t to like. Reviewers mention that off-angle viewing has a green tint, but this is overstated and I have not encountered it with my particular panel. So, I wouldn’t worry much about what they say. Get this TV, get a nice soundbar/surround setup, and get an Apple TV 4K and you will be enthralled, I promise.

Just a fantastic monitor or TV. Picture is beautiful where blacks are pitch black, sound is great but since it is a monitor I am 3 feet from it so take that into consideration. Far as burn in, I use this at least 16 hours a day with many static items on the screen and I have not seen any evidence of it at all. I have not done anything to this LG monitor but to use it. I game on it, surf the web etc. Only thing I don't do is leave it on if I am not going to be using it for a bit. I would usually let my monitor go to screen saver, but with this LG I just turn it off. My only gripe is that when I start my PC, the LG doesn't automatically go to my PC screen, I must use the remote each time. Outside of that I find this an excellent value for an OLED.
