42-Inch Class OLED evo C4 Series Smart TV 4K Processor Flat Screen with Magic Remote AI-Powered with Alexa Built-in (OLED42C4PUA, 2024)

I've been wanting a C series for a long time and finally got one. Mac Mini M4 Pro using a Highwings HDMI cable (ASIN B08M9HND4F). Picture quality is fantastic. Whites are white. Blacks are black. So much cleaner than my LG IPS display from 2020. Build quality appears to be great except I would have liked hex screw heads for the feet instead of the normal Phillips or JIS style. With the recent price drop I think this is a fantastic purchase. For functionality, WebOS, in my opinion is slow. Even basic settings takes a few seconds for the menu to come up. You are presented with various terms and agreements that you have to agree to. I've only agreed to two of them and so far there hasn't been any more nags. Unfortunately, I find the agreement terms to be less than desirable but I'm still keeping the tv. WebOS has your standard streaming service apps built in. Plex works well. Youtube works well. I haven't tried the other apps but I assume they function just as well. Sound quality is good. Nothing fancy. If sound is important and you won't be using headphones then grab a soundbar. HDMI audio does pass through from the Mac so that works. Bad part.. The Mac Mini M4 does not support HiDPI so those 4k resolutions are okay for graphics but text is not going to look good. I'm running it at 2560x1440 which is what I've been used to and have no is sues with blury text. I've also installed Better Display to help with quick tweaks for brightness and resolution if I want to do any quick changes. Overall I'm pretty happy with this purchase and would recommend the LG C4 and absolutely if you can find one on sale!

I bought the LG C4 as replace my 4k/120hz Acer Predator 43 inch monitor that inexplicably died on me after just four years of service. The LG is better in nearly every way. You don't get displayport but do you do get HDMI 2.1 which provides more than enough bandwidth for 4k/144hz with HDR. The clarity and deep blacks on this display are spectacular (as you might imagine an OLED would be). Being a TV it has more functionality than a monitor would, you have a tuner, you have apps, you have a full function remote you have wifi and ethernet. Ten or fifteen years ago, a serious PC gamer would've never gone with a TV over a proper monitor, the input lag was too much, the TV wasn't going to able to display triple digit framerates, etc. But times have changed and now higher end TVs can match or beat some "gaming" monitors in terms of refresh rate and input lag. The only downsides to this TV are that not all adjustments are available in every mode which can make your initial setup frustrating. And while HDR performance is overall good, this display doesn't get as bright as some of the best VA or IPS panels, but you also get much deeper blacks in exchange. In terms of value for money, as a computer monitor it's not bad at all. Dedicated OLED monitors (or even IPS/VA monitors) of this size are going to cost just as much if not more. As a TV though, where prices are generally lower, the price becomes harder to justify.

Just a fantastic monitor or TV. Picture is beautiful where blacks are pitch black, sound is great but since it is a monitor I am 3 feet from it so take that into consideration. Far as burn in, I use this at least 16 hours a day with many static items on the screen and I have not seen any evidence of it at all. I have not done anything to this LG monitor but to use it. I game on it, surf the web etc. Only thing I don't do is leave it on if I am not going to be using it for a bit. I would usually let my monitor go to screen saver, but with this LG I just turn it off. My only gripe is that when I start my PC, the LG doesn't automatically go to my PC screen, I must use the remote each time. Outside of that I find this an excellent value for an OLED.

The instructions for setting up the TV could be better. Eventually they make sense, but the illustrations (and that’s all you get—no words) are a bit vexing. Still, after I figured them out, they at least made sense. It’s just hard to translate the drawings into recognition of the correct parts involved. Once assembled (I’m using the included base not wall-mounting it), the rest of the job is fairly straightforward, but it takes some playing around with to get it the way you want it. I’m using it with a SONOS Beam sound bar and two paired One surround speakers and Sub, connected tot he eARC HDMI port, and you have to figure out which audio option to select to make that work. I’m not using cable, just streaming, so I had to sign up for all my streaming services to view content, all pretty standard stuff with a new set like this. The picture is really good, and I was surprised how good the TV’s own speaker were when I initially chose them instead of my SONOS setup.

I've owned several LG televisions and have become a fan of the magnificent engineering that allows such a brilliant picture on a screen no thicker than a cellphone. The the prices keep coming down, making LG sets very affordable. The sound from the hidden inboard speakers is acceptable, but an add-on soundbar goes a long way toward upgrading the audio. Unfortunately, LG spoils the show by adding its clunky, buggy software that mucks up the viewing experience. Do yourself a favor and avoid connecting the TV to your household WiFi.
