LG OLED evo C4 65-inch

The LG OLED evo C4 is a 2024 upper-midrange OLED TV. The 65-inch model has the α9 AI Processor 4K Gen7, 144 Hz VRR, four HDMI 2.1 ports (4K 120 Hz), Dolby Vision, webOS 24 and five years of webOS Re:New upgrades. Testing liked the contrast, gaming latency and viewing angles; built-in sound is ordinary and HDR10+ is missing.

Strengths and limitations

  • TechRadar measured 1065 nits on a 10% window and 202 nits full-screen in Filmmaker Mode on the 65-inch C4, with 98.7% UHDA-P3 coverage. Input lag was 11.9 ms with Game Optimizer and 9.2 ms in Boost mode. Sound is fine for dialogue but light on bass and compressed at high volume. The home screen carries ads and LG Channels recommendations. The missing HDR10+, ordinary sound, ATSC 1.0-only tuner in the US and lower brightness than flagship models are listed as drawbacks.

    TechRadar — Al Griffin: LG C4 OLED TV review
  • In L’Éclaireur Fnac’s lab test of the OLED65C44LA, the centre measured 318 cd/m² without HDR; with a 13% brightness difference between centre and bottom edge and 0.0042 delta u’v’ colour uniformity, the panel was found very even. Brightness holds at side angles and grey gradation is smooth. Colour errors in the default mode need adjustment; sound is basic and there is no USB-C.

Owner experiences and issues

  • Visible Best Buy reviews highlight picture, black levels, gaming latency and webOS; HoldenP says VRR works with an NVIDIA card on all four HDMI ports, and SDMav760 notes the ads can be turned off in settings. After a year, Austin says the thin panel is tricky to wall-mount and handle and lacks brightness in a sunny room; RickP finds it very bright at night with captions; ChristopherM says the strong Wi-Fi antenna clashed with a nearby router and suggests Ethernet. Several recommend a soundbar. No visible review reports burn-in or dead pixels.

    Best Buy US, OLED65C4PUA (SKU 6578042); 20 visible of 1,583 reviews, the 19 named ones verified and incentivised; one review describing a 48-inch B4 was excluded. Ownership from one week to one year.
