Here's a big question has LG, the company that
basically put all that TV S on the map done
enough with this 2024 C for all that to justify
spending thousands of dollars for what isn't even really LG
flagship model anymore. There was a time where LGC
series, all that TV S broke all sorts of
testing records. But in the last 2 to 3
years, the company started reserving its best tech for
the G series and even the newer wireless and series
still. The sea is what most people associate with
LG. The C four is available now from 42
inches all the way up to 83 inches. So
it's very important to know that only the size is
55 inches and not have the picture and audio technology
that will compare performance wise to the 65 in size
I have here. You're looking at a$2700 price
tag for this configuration, but you could go well
past$5000 for the biggest size if you like your
TV, ultra thin, the LGC for all that
won't disappoint with a screen that's barely a quarter inch
thick. At its narrowest, it has a sleek
appearance highlighted by the shiny metal lining on the bezel
. But you got to check out the back.
There's this gray water color pattern effect that does look
cool, but chances are no one's ever going to
see it. So, like, what's the point
? You either set this up close to a wall
on the central stand or wall mounted, which I
do typically recommend when you're getting big expensive TV.
All of the Sea Force ports are easy enough to
access located on the left edge of the control box
mounted on the back. You get a full array
of HD I 2.1 inputs plus some USB type A
ports and the other usual suspects. Now let's stick
into the performance. We're working with the alpha nine
GEN seven processor powering LGS web interface compatible with all
the major streaming apps to download plus a few that
will launch automatically with this magic remote right here.
The platform uses this quick card set up aimed at
making the most relevant information easy to access. You
have suggestions of what to watch and more. It's
fairly intuitive. And what's pretty cool is that LG
is one of the only TV manufacturers that's promised to
release newer software versions to older TV. S usually
besides like firmware and security updates, you're stuck with
the software version your TV shift with. But now
LG, old TV S dating back to 2022.
Eventually get this exact we version. Although the C
four isn't the leader of every category of picture quality
. It still is a step up from its predecessor
. The C three, we tested approximately a 30%
increase in each year brightness with the C four passing
1000 nets, which is a big milestone for the
C series. We've seen cut the old TV,
like the Samsung S 95 D and one from Sony
changed the standard for all that brightness. But this
right here won't disappoint the Delta E and R 79
coverage scores were also pretty much the best you can
get for a four KO TV. But what does
that all actually mean you pop in a blue turn
on a movie you're going to see vibrant yet life
like colors, deep contrast and really complex shades of
black. Since the self a of pixels can turn
off entirely in the darkest parts of the picture.
Wow, that looks good. Even with the shadows
, you can see so much detail and then the
trees here to the reason you could actually see each
individual trees because of the contrast. What's great about
it is that you also benefit from great off angle
viewing, meaning the picture holds up even past 40
degrees off access format wise. The C four supports
to be vision and HDR 10 though oddly not HDR
10 plus, not a deal breaker considering a certain
major competitor, Samsung doesn't support Dolby Vision, which
a lot of shoppers really love and are probably more
familiar with than HDR 10 Plus. Considering how good
the C Force picture is, you would think that
the sound would match, but the C Force audio
is at best possible. Ok. So this is
50 it's not very loud at all. You shouldn't
have to bring it all the way up. 75
is what it should sound like at 50. So
not very loud. The TV doesn't get super loud
and it rumbles a bit even at the lower volume
levels, it's not that it sounds bad, especially
if you're not someone with a sharp ear for speaker
quality, but even with all the most support,
the downward firing 40 watt speakers fall a little flat
, definitely, definitely, definitely invest in a sound
bar here. If you got one from LG directly
, you'll get this cool feature called Wow orchestra that
blends the sound bar speaker with TV built in speakers
. So certain frequencies sound like they're coming from a
more precise location on screen. I do recommend it
if you have the space and budget at face value
, the LGC for all that is an outstanding TV
. And it bears all the hallmarks of a product
whose company was intent on getting all of the details
just right, but it's higher than average price performance
numbers that aren't quite class leading and a lack of
killer sound also do hold it back. LG.
Is also still holding out on a TC 3.0 T
for next TV. So this TV isn't the most
future proof one that you can get for the price
if you want to save some money. The LGC
three old that carries a lot of the same features
and only a few minor performance setbacks for quite a
bit less. Or maybe you can wait a few
months for the price of the LGC for all to
drop. For reference, the 65 inch LGC three
eventually fell about$1000. That's to say I might
not spend my own money on the C four apple
price though. Luckily, I think there are already
some discounts that I like down in the description.
Let me know if the C four ends up being
your next purchase or what TV, you might be
considering. Instead you can check out an unboxing video
and spec check on social everywhere at to guide.
And as always, I'm at K thanks for watching
. I'll catch you next time.
