Which to Buy? LG 42" TVs: OLED EVO C2 vs. C4 | Side-by-side Comparison 

It's the same; it dims after a few minutes and becomes significantly darker. It doesn't happen in all gamesit depends on image movement but I noticed it becoming dimmer in little, bright games like Final Fantasy 16

@@TECHOSAUR tnx for the info

@@baukemid5735 yw, i suggest if you are currently good with C2 for the time being just skip the C4 and check what they bring in C5, I hope they finally use MLA and add a heatsink, or who knows we might get tandem oled so the difference between C2 compared to C4 isn't really that notable, there are some things mostly related to AI and upscaling and expression enhancer so things that require processing, but panel seems the same as EVO OLED ofc with 144hz mode for PC

@@TECHOSAUR tnx i will wait for now i hope so mla is good still rocking whit my c2 only down side is the dimming in games looked up for the samsung qn90c bud no dolby vision big tnx for the info

Absolutely!

@@TECHOSAUR Thanks! Will turn notifications on to be on the lookout.

@@Robles006 I'm honored Thanks for ur support 🙏

LG TVs rarely get discounts; they retain good value over time. Even the C2 42" could be sold for a good price used. My favorite feature is also the expression enhancer, but I'm hopeful that the next gen, the C5, would have MLA and a heatsink. It's about time to get that significant brightness increase!!

Yes, but it would be more visible if you put it side by side with previous models, go to image settings, and check the expression enhancer, brightness option increase it

@@TECHOSAUR Thanks for the quick response. That kind off justifies it a bit to buy the new one with a premium. I really think brightness is the only downside of the C series 42 inch. If I could buy a G3 / G4 in 42 inch I would definitely do but I think its more of a physical limitation that MLA would get too hot on that size.

@diederik6975 Probably having MLA would have made it perfect release. but I still find the C4 a good improvement. If you spend more time in its settings and are familiar with the previous ones, you will find quite a few changes. There is no one big feature, but small ones that make up for it

It's a beast. Absolutely, the leap from CX to C4 is noticeable. I'm not familiar with Alienware monitors, but I know they're good, especially the QD-OLED

Depending on how far your bed is from your desk, I haven’t tried any QD-OLED monitors yet. I’m supposed to get the G8 OLED but have to wait a bit. I think the QD OLED will be brighter compared to the WOLED of the C4. But usually, you will find TVs at a more competitive price than monitors. In my humble opinion, you could never go wrong with either of them, but the C4 is a reliable multipurpose option while giving you a good display size if you sit far away to enjoy watching. I don't have any problems. QD OLED monitors are a good option, but sitting far away and watching through a 32" monitor is not that convenient, at least for me. I would go with the C4 42". At least I can use it for when I don’t sit on desk

thanks would be a rthx3080 enough? I am not playing demanding games and which cable do I need hmdi 2.1, display port or a display port to hdmi cable? and is there a option to install the monitor with a bracket on the wall?

@ds_3416 Yes, you can use a VESA wall mount (300 x 200). The C4 has 4x HDMI 2.1 at 144 Hz and no DisplayPort. I would recommend that you connect it to your GPU's HDMI 2.1 port; it's better than DP 1.4. Yes, the RTX 3080 with DLSS/FSR 3 with frame generation can easily play games on 4K, of course, with RT not at max settings But it's decent for most games.

I was just in this dilemma i got C4 and so happy. Enjoy

soon! 👍

Probably just the camera clipping because the C4 gets brighter.

The C2 is still holding its position even after two generations. Once they upgrade the C to have MLA, it will be more worthwhile upgrading.

I’m preparing a QN90D 43” vs. C4 42” comparison next. I don’t have a C3, but I do have a C2. On the positive side, there will be some improvements in the testing setup for TVs and monitors in that next comparison and beyond, such as hiding ambient objects/lights to provide better color accuracy, thanks for support!

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I read the comment above wrong. For some reason I thought it said C3 would be next, but it clearly says QN90D 43. That will also be an interesting comparison to see.

@DeanWClark, thanks for the support. You all the driving force behind this channel 🫶

That's a good idea, I'm going to try them with flashy cartoony scenes as well, thanks for the input

The G6 is 1440p, while the C4 is 4k. It depends on whether your GPU is capable and you prefer a bigger size display. I don't have the G6

@@TECHOSAUR No my gpu is maximum to 1440p. Is 2080 Super, but probably I will to 4080 Super soon. Anway thank’s for reply

Well, it sounds like a C4 is better for future-proofing if you can find it for a good price. It has more uses.
