Strong 42-inch OLED for desktop and gaming
The C4 improves on earlier OLED models with slightly higher peak brightness, better HDR responsiveness, and a 144Hz refresh rate. Auto-dimming is less aggressive, and moving the mouse or typing restores brightness. A screensaver mode appears after dimming but requires a remote press to exit. Remote binding prevents controlling multiple screens together. Burn-in remains a risk with static content, as a week-long login screen caused permanent damage on a previous model. Recommended for desktop multitasking, gaming, and photo or video editing.
Pros
- + Higher peak brightness
- + More responsive HDR with more standards
- + 144Hz refresh rate
- + Less aggressive auto-dimming
- + Screensaver mode
- + Excellent for multitasking and immersive gaming
Cons
- − Screensaver requires remote press to exit
- − Remote cannot control multiple screens simultaneously
- − Burn-in risk with static content

LG C4 OLED as a gaming monitor
The LG C4 replaces a 43-inch 4K 120Hz monitor and is better in nearly every way. It lacks DisplayPort but offers HDMI 2.1, enough bandwidth for 4K 144Hz with HDR. Clarity and deep blacks are spectacular. As a TV it adds a tuner, apps, a full-function remote, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet. Higher-end TVs can now match or beat gaming monitors in refresh rate and input lag. Downsides: not all adjustments are available in every mode, making initial setup frustrating, and HDR brightness is lower than some VA or IPS panels, though blacks are deeper. Value is good as a monitor, but harder to justify as a TV.
Pros
- + HDMI 2.1 supports 4K 144Hz with HDR
- + Spectacular clarity and deep blacks
- + More functionality than a monitor
- + Refresh rate and input lag competitive with gaming monitors
- + Good value as a computer monitor
Cons
- − No DisplayPort
- − Not all adjustments available in every mode
- − Initial setup can be frustrating
- − HDR brightness lower than some VA or IPS panels
- − Price harder to justify as a TV

Strong OLED Picture and Magic Remote Impress
First impressions exceed expectations after less than a week of use. The Magic Remote's cursor control is much faster than arrow navigation for menus, search, and logins, though it has a learning curve. Picture settings adjust automatically by input, and the built-in speakers sound very good. Menus are intuitive, but the built-in LG channels feel awkward. Picture quality is beautiful from any angle with deep blacks. It suits movies, video games, and sports, and is considered better than a previous Samsung model.
Pros
- + Magic Remote cursor control is fast
- + Automatic picture adjustment by input
- + Impressive built-in speakers
- + Intuitive on-screen menus
- + Beautiful 4K OLED picture with deep blacks
- + Good viewing angles
Cons
- − Remote has a learning curve
- − Built-in LG channels are awkward

Strong picture quality, slow WebOS interface
Picture quality is excellent, with clean whites and deep blacks that outperform an older IPS display. Build quality is solid, though hex screw heads for the feet would have been preferred. WebOS feels slow, with menus taking a few seconds to appear, and setup requires agreeing to several terms and agreements. Streaming apps like Plex and YouTube work well. Sound is adequate but a soundbar is recommended for better audio. When connected to a Mac Mini M4, HiDPI is not supported, so text may look blurry at 4K; running at 2560x1440 avoids this. Overall, a recommended purchase, especially on sale.
Pros
- + Excellent picture quality
- + Clean whites and deep blacks
- + Solid build quality
- + Streaming apps work well
- + Good value on sale
Cons
- − WebOS is slow
- − Setup requires agreeing to terms
- − No HiDPI support with Mac Mini M4
- − Sound is basic
