    The LG G4 OLED is LG's flagship 4k TV for 2024. It replaces the LG G3 OLED and sits above the LG C4 OLED. Like its predecessor, it uses Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology for better brightness than typical WOLED panels. However, unlike the G3, this year's 83-inch model also includes MLA, although the super expensive 97-inch model doesn't.

      That is a helpful comment. Also, one doesn't have to connect his TV to the Web. I use an LG 55" 4K OLED as a gaming PC monitor.
      It's the freedom thing again. I have the freedom to reject a product, or if possible to use it in a way that works for me. Getting the government involved increases restrictions and reduces options for the consumer.

    Just bought the 77G4 and next to my S95B and X95K, there is a very clear upgrade in picture quality. Never was an LG fan, but this is in my opinion the best oled out there and will probably stay that way for some time. Important in my opinion is to set color always to original instead of automatic. Automatic doesn’t give you the full impact in color. And yes, brightness does matter a lot for HDR impact. If you buy a tv, buy this. This tv is a true technical pinnacle.

  • @budthecyborg4575
    @budthecyborg4575 Před 26 dny +4

    RTINGS needs to test brightness of mid-grey at all window sizes as well as fully white, and I suppose to be thorough you need to test peak white window sizes with a mid-gray background.
    In every hands-on comparison the G4 is significantly brighter than any other OLED or QD-OLED in pictures with a high average brightness across the whole frame (e.g. daytime landscape), if you only measure peak white you don't know how much the display is dimming all the content around the highlights.

    @S3lvah Před 23 dny +1

    Hi! When you talk about the color volume/luminance vs. QD-OLEDs - to bridge the gap between numerical data and practice, what really should (IMO) be the focus is how much of the content that people usually watch will take advantage of the headroom that QD-OLED has.
    My understanding is that nearly all content that we watch in daily life resides almost entirely within WOLEDs' capabilities, which renders the QD-OLEDs' advantage an academic curiosity, or perhaps something that Vivid mode users will enjoy.
    I'm saying this as a tech enthusiast who binged TV reviews for months and got an LG G2 -equivalent OLED - only to spend most of my time watching anime on it. Every couple months I will put on an HDR video on the CZcams app and be reminded of the TV's real capabilities. I really am left wondering if I'd been better off saving the money and just buying an LCD TV due to the content I watch.

    Thanks, Abby and everyone at RTINGS for this video review. I read your website review of this LG G4 TV and was eagerly waiting for this video companion. I've been using my Sony 46W4100 since 2008 and it is still going strong. But I really want to upgrade to a 4K TV that is great for using my PS5 as well as 4K UHD Blu Ray films. This LG G4 seems like a great set to do justice to both physical media movies, games, as well as content off cable and streaming. The only question I have is, does anyone know the street date these G4 TVs will be released here in Canada? I have been looking on Best Buy Canada, The Brick, and on Visions Electronics, waiting for these TVs to be available. So far, no luck. Do you have any information of a street date of these LG G4s to start being available in retail stores? Thanks again for the great reviews. You're my first source of TV and electronic reviews.

    P. S. Right now I have 1400 eur g3 but g4 is like 3000 eur atm. Would a price of let's say 2k on Black Friday be good deal to upgrade to g4?

  • @ChristopherWoods
    @ChristopherWoods Před 26 dny +3

    Please do some high-scrutiny tests for panel issues, particularly things like DSE and the pink-green alternating discoloration, which I have had on THREE new 55" C2 panels. I suspect it is a defect of that panel's manufacturing process as it appears to possibly be a polarising or anti-glare layer issue, possibly due to uneven lamination during fabrication. This is speculation on my part but it seems plausible, as the fundamental colour reproduction of the pixels across the colour gamut is still ok.
    It looks like the identical visual artifact I can reproduce on my Sony smartphone's OLED panel, if I hold it significantly off-axis to sunlight and at a diagonal relative to viewing. However the phone screen becomes fine again when viewed head-on. By contrast, the C2's panel however exhibits distinct horizontal banding across the full width, in the bottom half of the panel, regardless of being on-axis or off-axis.
    The visual symptom is that the underlying pixel colour response is fine, but there's an overlay of discolored red/pink and green banding. Some people have it on corners of their panels, some people have it in the middle of panels (like my first two Poland-made panels), some people have it on the top or bottom of panels. My third unit has it horizontally on the bottom 40% of the vertical area. I sit in the 'perfect' viewing position and distance and it's still very obvious on greyscales, whites and flat colours. I had to return two units before I got one which was tolerable.

      @euphorichaggis8486 Před 26 dny

      I care about it, so this is very disappointing for me & as soon as I heard the news that they've decided to drop the new ATSC 3.0 for the old dinosaur ATSC 1.0 again made me feel a big sinking disappointing feeling and it has immediately made this expensive OLED that should have all bells and whistles on it by default & now not have them, makes this unfortunately a no goer for me just for that reason. I am in the market for a new TV this year and having an ATSC 3.0 tuner for the future is important to me as I keep my new TVs for many years before updating them. Not EVERYONE is just a gamer here. I watch TV from the inbuilt tuner, and it makes no good sense for the consumer that they decided to drop next gen TV (ATSC 3) whether many use it or not. Having that on a high-end expensive TV should qualify for that to just be there for the price one pays for this TV & it is a bonus for TV watchers now and into the future if it does. Looks like they have made the decision for me easier, it will be the Sony Bravia 9 which does have the ATSC 3.0 Next gen TV tuner and is still a top line looking TV even if it is mini-LED and not OLED. This was on my list, very high up but not now. I PC game anyway with a high-end monitor, gaming PC with a Nvidia 4090 GPU, with very low latency anyway, but regardless this news sucks for me since I'm in the market for a brand-new TV for my living room so this is a pity!

    You absolutely will notice the sample and hold blur. I wish you wouldn't downplay it so much. Does BFI pulse at both 60hz and 120hz on this model to address that?

    • @jnvivian
      @jnvivian Před 26 dny +1

      The G4 offers 60 Hz BFI but not 120 Hz BFI. However, BFI (and cathode ray tube flicker, for that matter), causes me so much literally painful eye strain that I would prefer other solutions to BFI like either putting up with the sample and hold blur, or turning on frame interpolation which some people deride as the soap opera effect. The soap opera effect generally does not bother me unless it is badly done, but bothers a lot of other people. Low frame rate sources such as films annoy me with their inherent stutter, even when played in native playback environments such as movie theaters or displays that can natively display 24 FPS content.
      I know that some people love BFI, but it is literally painful eyestrain for my eyes, so it is useless to me.
      I also understand that motion interpolation also adds lag, so that can be bad for some games.
      I guess that different people prefer different solutions for motion blur.
      If you really need 120 Hz BFI, try one of the new Gen3 QD-OLED monitors like the Asus ROG Swift OLED PGUCDM. 120 Hz BFI is not an option for TV-sized QD-OLEDs. It is only for monitor-sized Gen3 QD-OLEDs.

      That's a fair point, but it's important to note that the larger size, the 97", is the only size that doesn't feature its MLA layer, so it's hard for us to properly tell you how it performs against competitors since we only tested the 65" model!

      The g4 has more natural and accurate color to my eyes. It also has better looking white color, 4 hdmi 2.1 inputs and supports up to 144hz for pc gaming. It has just as detailed and clear image as a A95L and in some cases, even more so. The A95L has its strengths as well but the G4 has the stuff that matters most to me. What’s “better” is really going to come down to the person and what they want most out of a tv.

    What's the contrast ratio in a not dark room for lifted blacks compared to qd oleds? And which tv in day light veiwing has more 3d pop in sdr and hdr? Day light comparisons should include bravia 9 mini led and lcd especially for sdr comparison.
    A lot of content is sdr and hdr is streamed low bit rate so having a good processor is important but so is the panel with contrast ratio being a factor. So overall brightness in a 100% window adds to contrast ratio and lifted blacks diminish them as well. Also a lot of content do not have pure black in their content so the benefit of pure blacks of oled is quite limited for regular content.
    So in that case bright room viewing and measuring contrast in a bright room makes more sense as a comparison.

    What is this --- Frame Hold Time at 60 FPS is 14.4 ms??? It doesn't actually hold the frame for the full duration, but has a small down time, like a very long square wave pulse?
    I had never heard of this before. It would of course slightly reduce Eye-Tracking Motion Blur, but if this is already done I don't understand why they don't include the ability to adjust the pulse width, and even better, to include a mode which emulates the pulse envelope of a CRT. It's a simple matter to automatically adjust brightness as a function of pulse width.
    This is the correct way to reduce the pulse width of a frame, whereas "Black Frame Insertion" is a goofy work-around.
    If LG et al. are not going to offer OLED displays which approach the motion quality of CRT, I wish a new company would purchase OLED panels and design its own displays with its own custom driver circuitry so that we could once again have the same clarity of motion we had 80 years ago.
