LG G4 OLED TV Review (vs G3 & Sony A95L) 

I enjoi my dear but very difficulty four me understand. What he mean four g shree? Very inconvenience

RTINGS literally does a very indepth TV reviews LOL These bottom feeder comments are so tiresome, curse the new zoomer generation.

Still on my LG C7 without any burn in or any dead pixels. Apart from a little wonkyness from one of the 4 HDMI ports, it still runs like a charm. The only thing that's making me want to upgrade are the recent 144hz refresh rates. A before and after comparison would be awesome to see.

@@TheRealStenn Got myself a CX here. The thing is, I’m not going to get a new one each year, I’ll probably keep using mine for about 8-10 years. Although I really enjoy these videos about the latest technology I’d also be curious to see how much has really changed. 🤷‍♂️

@@stefangroert9051I keep asking for this to several reviewers, I’m on a CX too.

The upgrades are not too noticeable. Like for instance, my A80J is basically the same Tv as the A80L or the upcoming Bravia8 Oled. I mean we are talking maybe 10% difference at most. LG has had a bit more of an improvement in their C series line, but the C4 is only maybe 15% better than the CX. It's shocking how the oled mid ranged market has stagnated. The biggest shake up we have had was the introduction of QD Oled but even then I can't really tell the difference between my s95B and A80j walking room too room in a paused scene. I think the biggest difference in the generations would be moreso durability reasons than anything else.

​@@chasecrappel9480i think certain buggs of oled tech have been improved and better programing. But nothing that would be clearly visible to an average person in most scenes. But i might be wrong.

He show the delta e before calibration at the end

@@TheVindu33380 It’s better than nothing, but I just wish he’d go into more detail.

If was a extremely limited review with just all the torture nitpicking tests . No HDR movie watching in full Dynamic mode. Why even buy this TV to run it in FMM at 1000. Yet he has videos raving about some 10000Nit monster than would be 20 times brighter than your room lights, and probably dreadful remapping a 600 or 1000NIT mastered movi . Ie give a the 100000 monster a free pass as you got a freebie trip . People seem to really like the dynamic mode on the G4 and that it gives a 3D like effect. Remember the gushing on the Sony , the best HDR impact in specular highlights . Nada here Really disappointed , not interested in torture tests, non real world BS , bit starved content , crappy youtube rubbish . Don't care if some tiny minor graduations in the Martian , you have to want to see it . Vincent is becoming more irrelevant as the TVs are all mostly excellent. What is more important is the limitations or bugs. You don't need 8K or 10000Nits to have a happy viewing time . Cinema is only 200Nits . getting a good discount and biggest as possible and putting extra into a sound system is best for immersion Really this review told me nothing new or would affect my buying decision . Rather real world testing now , as TVs so good

@@nimblegoat the biggest annoyance is Vincent not using any type of chapter system so his videos are a book without chapters, feels like listening to 18 mins of a long monotonous run on sentence. that was bearable a few years ago when things were still more exciting, but now i skim through this and usually just stick to av forums reviews at this point as its to the point since all of these tvs are similar at this point.

@@vlcthefish Yeah he's not even consistent even with that , showing the Pan movie etc . Actually the chart with the colours cyan , primaries , magenta etc was excellent and novel . You just felt he spent his month reviewing trying to find stuff to catch this TV out. Stuff that many of us don't care about that much on our existing TVs . Starting to remind me off nitpicking audio reviews that forget about the music. TBF he says Best in Class , great HDR impact. Plus we will get a end of year shoot out, but again a grain of salt, as want what reviewers like, not what looks closest to a Sony mastering monitor. Think is as long as you know the limitations of various manufacturers, all these TVs will look great . Plus we are getting YOY improvements, 4 stacks of OLED coming next year. Also LGs 5 years updates will improve and already good HDR and colour mapping. My end TV is 4000 HDR full BT2020, 240HZ - they will get better after that , but that's enough for me to buy biggest at that ability and not buy another till it dies ( to me at 4000 Master done real well will be excellent in a dark room , without making the room stupidly bright. My brain can do the rest. Ie a 1000 NIT master will ALWAYS look better if excellent than a average 4000 Nits master . This is true for music , SDR movies. LOTR will always look great no matter the TV, even on a so so LCD

lol ultra premium products stay at ultra premium prices for a reason - they're supposed to be exclusive and profitable. Just like the 97" G2 won't come down in price until end of life (and even then it won't be much), the M series will not be reducing msrp any time soon.

"Thousands of Nits" my ass....There is not a better looking TV on the market than SONY ay every level.....and likely never will be. You "spec nerds" need to STOP it because 98% of TV buyers could give a ratsass what the specs are, they just want to watch the best TV OUT OF THE BOX with the best quality that will last for at least 4-5 years.

@steveludwig4200 To each their own; no need to get so worked up about it. But TVs that get brighter will require less tone mapping since they can display 1000-4000 nit content natively, not to mention such TVs have way more HDR and SDR impact generally. For those that don't look for that stuff, save your money. But I am indeed a nerd who really enjoys looking for such details, whether I am doing critical or casual viewing. Plus, I agree with part of what you say in that I'll be perfectly happy with my G2 until there is enough of an overall PQ and processing leap forward to make another flagship TV purchase worth it for me with my budget. So I do wait 4-8 years between making purchases. But again, to each their own.

@@steveludwig4200 fanboy detected. red alert. fanboy detected.

AT 3% of the screen ?

So if I am understanding this right..LG came up this year with a 3000 nit panel. Yet they used last years panel and added the new MLA and new chip set. This is why you have marginal brightness improvements. Is this what you were saying Vincent?

you should have waited for the G4! tsk tsk

Should probably wait for G5.... or maybe G6, G7 or G8...?​@@gosman949

Most of the G3’s have no backflow some of them come with no plug and you have to find a plug. Some people don’t even know where to find a plug and people have no outlet in their house are in their barn, and those people just hoist up an old television, like a Samsung or anything like that no watch in the dark they’ll watch movies. They’ll watch movies like alone or they watch artist, but they will never know the true power of a pro.

@@ericB3444 you must be drunk

@@MegaMaskedrider incorrect. Olaf my main said the g3 was bright. Expand.

Correct ​@@MegaMaskedrider

@@MegaMaskedrider It's a bot I think.

Just get a Universal Table Stand with a swival.

You're not going to get a true idea of what that looks like in person because they're HDR capable displays playing HDR content presented via SDR video, presumably being viewed on an uncalibrated display. For what's it worth, I viewed the comparison A95L / LG G4 video presented in HDR10 over on @hdrtest channel on my calibrated LG G3 via an Apple TV 4K. The A95L appears to match the reference monitor more closely than the G4 based on the chosen content provided for comparison.

The C7 is still a brilliant TV. I have a Sony A90J as well and it still holds its own with picture quality.

C9 here. And I have zero plans to update any time soon.

Probably not enough changes. LG really separated the C and G series. Since the C is clearly the second tier LG OLED, it won't be as relevant for review content.

You should do your self a favor and get a sound system for your TV, there is always a limit for a built in tv speaker.

I’d love to see how the G4 compares to the CX.

I remember when I had a LG CX..but I sold it and got a C3

@@HiKielLiHi is it a big upgrade? You really think it’s worth it?

@@lagunamusic7686...yeah my cx had screen uniformity issues..the c3 panel is clean

best c3 best buy 77/83@@HiKielLiHi

In what respect is it an upgrade? I have a C9 and honestly don't feel the need to upgrade yet.

@@pneuma6050same

I went from 77 CX->83 G4 and seems wayyy brighter, more colorful, much more detail, better processing, gaming, UI. Feels hugely better.

@@pneuma6050yo shits old tech

@@pneuma6050 The increased brightness due to the MLA panel. I have a bright livingroom with a lot of windows, so watching in broad daylight on the 65CX was sometimes quite difficult. It's so much better with the 77G4 now.

Quick answer, no. A95L has better image quality.

@@LiWenhan Do you think that in games and movies, mainly Dolby vision, it will be better?

No

@@sirgareth5283 I'm thinking the same way. I recently watched dune 2 with DV and on my 95L some scenes looked weird

Yes, the lg supports hgig, which is a killer feature for playing games, you can also adjust the tone mapping on a per-title basis and lg has the best dolby vision implementation. Only downsides are less color luminance and gamut but are rarely used to that degree

I would get G4 83 inch. I have C1 77 inch and returned my G3 83 inch last year for not having MLA. I saw the other day and man it’s sooo clean and smooth. Treat yourself for a TV that will last

G3 for 77inch and below. G4 for 83inch.

@@victormunoz1864 My C7 is 55inch, my next will be a 65". I'm UK so we don't need such huge TV's as we tend to sit closer due to UK room sizes.

This is a shocker with s95c

EVO... MLA is only for G series.

Ultimately it's the content you watch that matters. Rtings test the same thing on every TV but that's not necessarily how we'll it'll perform in real life.

Nah lol

@@forjoel6974 will be except Pana wins 2024

Easily. A95L remains king especially with picture and audio combined. But it came out so late 2023 so it's almost a 2024 model anyway.

Yeah hence no A95M QD OLED because Samsung Display not making 83 inch till this year for next year and they might add a polarisers to minimise black crush I read flat panel HD

YES! Good spotting. And he says it by name too, so not a typo. 3110 is still double lcd but 4000 nits peak vs 1000 on the hx310 he had before.

@@sierratangoandras a new $20,000 for it hurts though 😅

I’m also seeing this issue

The smaller ones are the same as last year. 55 and ups get the brightness boost, you welcome.

So effectively, 48" CX = c1 = c2 = c3 = c4 What the heck, LG@@beammeupscottsp7952

42 and 48 are the same as previous years around 800 nits, 55 and up are going to be 950.

He wont answer.

Both are 144hz, Input lag is basically the same at 4k 120/144hz Get the S90D if you want the color gamut and volume that a QD-OLED brings, as well as higher average and peak brightness Get the C4 if dolby vision and gsync is important to you
