The verdict
The LG C4 is the sweet spot of the 2024 OLED lineup — performance close to the G4 at a significantly lower price. Tom's Guide 4/5, CNET 8.7/10, What Hi-Fi 5/5 — reviewers agree it's the best value pick. All four HDMI 2.1 ports, Dolby Vision, and webOS give you the most well-rounded gaming + cinema combo. Pay up for the G4 only if you watch in a bright room; otherwise the C4 is the pick for most people.
Strengths
- +Brighter peak luminance than the C3 thanks to updated WRGB OLED panel and α9 AI Gen 7 processor
- +Full HDMI 2.1 suite on all 4 ports: 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, G-Sync Compatible, FreeSync Premium
- +Dolby Vision + Dolby Atmos support with LG's mature webOS 24 smart platform
- +42-inch size option is unique in this premium tier — fits on a desk as a massive monitor
- +Five-year panel warranty coverage in the US
Watch-outs
- −No Dolby Vision IQ for auto ambient light adjustment (Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision at all — separate issue)
- −Peak brightness still trails LG G4 and Samsung S95D in bright rooms
- −Glossy screen coating shows reflections more than the Samsung S95D's matte anti-glare
