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

Thank you so very much, Garrett! I'm so glad you are happy with your C4 . I truly appreciate you being part of the community and family

Yesterday opened my C4 42" im mind blown never had anything OLED nor TV nor Monitor, it's best out of 2 worlds choosen over aw3225qf but never seen aw3225qf live. I think i don't need to even see it because i choosed better and it's C4. Can't go wrong with this one it's just damn too GOOD TO BE TRUE! 144hz, the amazing glossy screen the size the colors the everything.... i just don't have enough words...HDR gameplay oh my fucking god. Paired with my Legion laptop with rtx 4090 175watts - my dream came true ! What i was thinking with all those VA and IPS before - THEY DONT HAVE COLORS IN THEM!! And what i like the most i don't afraid of burn in.. if it happens it happens but as i red QD OLED alienware are a lot more prone to burn ins and also this baby C4 only 900euros... i will buy new one if this one f-up. But it will not. Fan for all my life, now looking to buy one for home TV - just bigger :D also - subbed.

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thank you to tell me about artefact of your camera "in these conditions" because i was like WTF :D

Agreed!

Thank you so much for the kind words and I'm so glad you found the video helpful. Welcome to the community!

Same here, i just pulled the trigger on a C4 42 today after seeing this video. Outstanding review

@razvan6714 amazing!! So glad to hear it! Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment

It's also $600 more expensive than the LG C3 42 inch :(

@@asafblasbergvideographerwait till black friday ,gonna be 1000$

With 100 bucks more you can get a 48inch

@@asafblasbergvideographeronly at release tho, it will get the same same price in like 6 months

@@prettyboiiartisticpeople who get the 42 inch size will mostly use it as a monitor

I love it Jenn! There are no QD-OLEDs at this size and no MLA LG, so the C4 stands alone

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPYBrian will a 77 QD - OLED look as clean as a 55 inch QD- OLED ?

@MrStrictlyOLED QD-OLEDs have excellent screen uniformity at all sizes my friend

Very cool! So glad you are enjoying it especially coming from a C3. Thank you for watching

Shit i literally just bought the c3... i think im going to return it today to get the c4 if what youre saying is true..

How is the pink tint? I’m still holding off from buying the c3 because of the issue. Is the red AR coating still there?

@@paradiseb5950 im still running a C3 rn and i dont notice a pink tint ???

I just bought the C4 but wasn't sure...I almost bought the C3. Thanks

But C4 got better image quality， Dolby vision PC and 144hz。I use 42c2 too, but want 42c4 very much。

@@youkasoy3413 yes, i know,but till C2 runs ok I'll not buy c4, maybe when the price drops and than c2 will be 3, 4 years old

@@youkasoy3413 C4 have pink/green tint on white so no.

Awesome!! It's a great size

Awesome! You have a great line up my friend

enjoy dude

That's what makes the c4 unique as there is very little competition at this size

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY nice video mate. i have the lg g3 77 inch. is it worth the upgrade? only bit brighter. and ai filters that you dont use? i dont gaming in 144 hz. im not a pc gamer. what do you advice me? its not mindblowing compare to my lg g3? better wait till 2025? hopefully lg skipped also one generation processor and go from a11 to a13. i can get the lg g4 77 inch for 2249 euro if i exchange my lg g3 for it. what you advice me mate?

@@jantjedewaalYour tv is just one year old, use it for at least 4 years to get some good upgrades in the future models.

Even though I just got the 42 inch C3 a month ago as soon as LG ever decides to make a 42 QD-OLED I'm taking the plunge even though the misses might have me sleeping on the sidewalk 😂😂😂😂

@@HUSTLEONLY-kz5bf yeah people laugh at me. when i say the avatar demo in 4k hdr on youtube looks better on my lg cx oled then on my 77 inch lg g3. the glossy screen maybe? its strange. lg g3 is brighter. because mla oled panel. but colorluminance with some content looks better on the lg cx. its strange. try it. if you have a cx compare it to lg g3 with the avatar 4k hdr demo on youtube

What size u get?

Awesome!! So glad you are loving it!

100%

Thank you for watching!

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Keep it up buddy. Long-time since I was here, but you still got it ;)

Best compliment ever! Thank you so much for making me part of your morning 🙂

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Very gladly. But here in Germany it‘s afternoon 😉

Waaaayyyy too big man. I’ve tried 55” & 48” OLED’s on an HX Ergotron HX wall mount. 80cm deep desk and it’s still too big. 42” is definitely the sweet spot. Now to decide whether the C4 is worth 70% more money over the C3. 🤔

I still have the C1 and love it! You are absolutely right about the monitor use. Thank you for watching

Been using a 48” CX as my monitor since 2020, been flawless. My extended warranty expired last year so I bought the LG service remote for $7 from Amazon and turned off ABL which was my main annoyance. Now it’s at full brightness at all times.

@@mattspeer01Yeah, that's a good idea, with no warranty to void anymore, there is no downside outside of slightly higher image retention risk but if you've had your screen for that long, you already know how to prevent that from becoming an issue.

@@Rhythmic_Hammer I agree 42 is the way. It's a scary number still for most people but it's not bad at all. In fact most monitors are tiny, so it's the other way round. But can be uncomfortable for some tasks, the edges are too far away. And the pixel density is worse. I'd do a dual/triple 42 setup before going 48 any day.

Do you play on pc or Xbox/ps5?

@@rixiorx I play on PC so when I’m running the game off of this 42inTV I creat a small window on the desktop and play. The rest of the screen is RU-vid sports ect.

Me too!

What color is the back of it? Hard to tell. Is it black? Or gray?

The A90K is fine, but it doesn't have the options the C4 has. It also doesn't have XR clear, which put Sony on top last year. Thank you for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY right! Thanks again Brian.

@@jockmattock9239 my pleasure!

Will be buying OLED for the first time. I'm currently on a 32'' RCA LCD that was handed down to me. Still works but think it's time for an upgrade. We'll see. When the prices drop this year I'll probably pic one up.

My pleasure! Thank you for watching

LG definitely has a very unique signature. Sony is amazing but they definitely keep things more to directors intent. Stay tuned for the G4 my friend and thank you for watching

I will

42-48 the same

@@DeniosG I don't think so, if that's the case the C3 42 inch would have been as bright as the 48 inch, yes the brightness boosting tech is for 55 and above, but I believe 48 is slightly brighter than 42 inch version.

@@suraj4020 test says that technology brightness booster works from 55 inch and higher

@@suraj4020 if you want to believe in this, ok. But all saying that the same

@@DeniosG I have literally said the same about the brightness boosting tech lol. Brightness boosting tech only works from 55 inch and above, yes, but the 48 inch is comparatively slightly brighter than the 42 inch version despite not having a brightness boosting technology. We don't have a lot of data for the brightness tests of 48 inch versions but you can check Rthings for the C1's 48 inch version's brightness, compare that with C4's 42 inch version. 48 inch version of C1 is brighter than the 42 inch version of even the C4, so it makes more sense to assume that the 48 inch version of c4 is slightly brighter than the 42 inch version.

Yes

Seems like sony is ditching oled for that prototype mini led they showed earlier this year or at least their premium model will be this new prototype tv.

@@ragnarokpxn5196Potentially yeah they’ll focus on mini led I agree. However it would be odd if they left the 42 and 48 inch LG C4 with no competition. They get LGs panels after all. Sony A90K can’t compete with those newer TVs.

So following Sonys new lineup announcement today, it doesn’t look like we’re not getting a replacement for the A90K. Do we think they will release a replacement in the second half of the year for that TV?

@@benthompson9077 I'll wait for see a new 42 sony

Thank you so much for watching!

So how does it compare to Sony ? Was this impressive enough

Bro I'm more than likely getting the C4 but for that cost difference I'm getting the C3 no questions. In Australia it's about $300aud difference so I'm fine with it. But 600US nah

Thank you, my friend!

And good value for money compared to Sony. Premium price for Sony.

Excellent question! I would definitely go C4. It's more refined and the 144HZ gaming is excellent

I can already tell you the g4 will beat jt. You'll see the G4 next week. I also have a c1, and I would upgrade . Thank you for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY thank you for the response appreciate it sounds good to me. I’ll be checking out your G4 video for sure hope you and family have a Happy Easter 🐣

@falconclaw1253 my pleasure! Happy Easter, my friend

Thank you so much!!

other than what 15-20ish nit brighter and 24hz faster on pc not worth the price from the c3 for the c4

I'm here right now. No stock on the asus till september, good deal on c4 and 500 cheaper plus better peak brightness. What did you get?

​@@changeagent228i got the c4 42' for 1082€ in early May. Now I'll never go smaller

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. You get the upgrades and the C series signature you love but also a bit more size

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thank you so much brother! I appreciate the reply and suggestion! I never thought about the 48"!

@undone14 my pleasure my friend

Can I ask what you prefer about your LG over the S90c? I too have an older LG oled and an s90c and I was a bit underwhelmed with the Samsung.

Why would you hate to be that guy? Those are great TV'S. Thank you so much for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY there is so much love that goes to the s90c which universally most people say to choose that one over the C3… with that said I’m a victim of having an A90J and because of that I compare EVERYTHING to the A90J. For that reason I can easily tell the C series gets MUCH closer to Sony than Samsung… which kind of makes me not watch the Samsung as much. The deal breaker was today when I was watching SHOGUN on HULU… the s90c struggles so much with detail and shadow/black crush whatever in comparison to the C3 and the A90J… anyway… I do watch your channel! My wife is like “that guy again?!?!?l” lmao

@@tylerstirling2843 when I see the LG, you really don’t have to mess with settings. After I leave it on Dolby vision Bright, I never really have to mess with it, regardless of content. With the s90c… I’m all over the place tinkering with it. Sometimes it’s intelligent mode which is soooo processed but that’s the only mode that brings out black washed out scenes over its movie mode. Lastly, motion processing is not even close. When you see the LG, you are like “yeah that’s looks about right” with the Samsung you are like “ummm judder and motion is punching me in the face”. Yea it’s got great colors blah blah blah but if it overall presentation doesn’t come together… who cares. Gaming… feels better on the Samsung but truth is I’m a dad who thinks he plays a lot that doesn’t. If you are like me choose the lg c3 or a80l which my mom has. Looks freaking great!!!!!!!!! The a80l doesn’t get enough love but even by some ambient lighting the semi matte screen come through great. Alright man I’m going to finish this long sentence. I’m in line to buy my daughter some Nikes lol and it’s my turn now. Good luck!!!!

After latest firmware of my c3 42 inch gsync flickering just disappeared. I'm guessing the same about the C4. Although the culprit could be Nvidia's drivers. Can't be sure. Anyways Gsync flickering isn't a thing anymore.

Thank you as always Michael!

Thank you! I'd say the G2 mat have a bit more pop the C4 is better overall. The processor has been retooled and with 144hz gaming , new UI and Dolby Vision filmaker its a more refined experience

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thanks man🤝

@CURIOSITYCREED my pleasure! Thank you for watching and for being here!

Yeah I’m wondering that too. I absolutely love my LG C2 as a PC monitor but its one and only major downfall is the gsync/vrr flickering is really annoying

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.

LG has a new oled monitor with some crazy specs. I'll try to review it! Thank you so much for watching

Nothing is even close the sony xr processor especially with reality creation feature on....but the lg tvs have much less input lag and higher refresh rate

​@@drunkhusband6257 I guess you haven't seen a Philips TV yet. It's the only brand which can actually compete with Sony when it comes to processing and upscaling. I still prefer Sony. It's less aggressive and a bit more natural but Philips is almost on par with and even better with some things. I'd say LG is 3rd best while I find Samsung and Panasonic rather disappointing in anything below 4k.

NOPE SO ITS WORTHLESS

It can do 144 at 4k with a good graphics card on hdmi 2.1

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

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY appreciate you, Brian yeah I already scored to C3 last week. Appreciate your input.

@@RoyalBoyle78 then your good brother

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!

@@phantomflame0658 ty 🤜🏼

Is there a big difference?

From what I understand, there isn't a big enough difference to justify the $400 price difference

Same boat, honestly upgrading that TV to anything but a g series is already dicey, I would at least wait for the c4 to drop in price so you get more of the cumulative improvements and the 144hz and not overpay at launch.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Many monitors have the same type of tech to get to higher frames.

While I agree a comparison is warranted my friend I'd never do it as a first video of any TV😁 thank you for watching

The 77" will actually perform better as it has pixel boost and it will be brighter. Excellent TV! Also it's an excellent gaming TV as well

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY Thank you!

@@jonathanhill2302 my pleasure

Not gonna lie (or suggest this to my wife for fear of my life lol), but I kinda want the 42 as a third monitor in my office. Would make my ASUS LCD’s look like trash in comparison though.

Its not , c3 not much different.

144hz , Dolby Vision Filmaker mode new web os and professional custom tone mapping. That's worth tye extra money to me . Thank you for watching

@@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY what is the difference between the new DV FMM and DV Cinema from previous gen? Isn’t it just labeling that can be set to the same settings anyway from any preset?
