LG 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!

Before going too far, this TV is amazing and you can't go wrong getting it. Thats's just the first impressions since it's only been a few days. I've always kept an eye on an LG C-series, along with G and the lesser B. The C5 is now out, so C4's are dropping in price. Compared to other options, it was finally time. I missed out on what was likely a price mistake months ago where the 77" appeared for the price of the 55". The price updated before purchase could be completed.The TV is large, but not all that heavy with the very thin panel on it. I can say I was unsure how to handle during setup it since it's so large and thin. I managed to get it out of the packaging, attach the stand and set it on it's new home by myself. The stand looks like it should require one more screw, but picture instructions didn't say so. There are two holes in the bottom and three in the back to attach the upright portion that then attaches to the TV, but only 4 screws for the job, two below and two in the back, then 4 others to attach the panel to the stand.Initial setup was pretty simple, and settings can always be revisited to make any changes. The picture requires a minor amount of adjustment for my liking. I hate true motion, so that's always the first to go along with most extra processing. Reds were heavily saturated, but easy enough to correct. There's options I may never get through, but they're there. The picture settings can change automatically by detected content, so may need adjustments again for each content type. I have experienced some issue with ARC staying connected with my receiver, but that may be on my hardware, not the TV. Cutting power to everything solves it for a time, usually. It is currently my biggest annoyance, but I'm still getting acquainted with the TV.The picture, the star of the show, it's what you buy this quality TV for and it delivers. The first time the screen went black during a cut scene, I wasn't sure if the TV was still on. Those typical demo videos on screen in the store that are elusive at home are not so with this set. Watching test videos from YouTube with high resolution and frame rate looked incredible. It really lights up a room with it's brightness not even at full power. It's a centerpiece of the room for sure.I'm sure I'll revisit this review in time, but for now, I'm loving this TV and glad we finally got one. Our last new TV is 15 years old, also an LG and has always looked great. I have high hopes for this one too.

I bought this TV on somewhat of a whim during Black Friday sales. We knew we wanted a new TV and had zeroed in on this model from browsing at Best Buy because the picture quality and color looked very nice. We've been very pleased with it in the several months since. The picture quality is great. We use a soundbar so I can't speak much to sound quality, but when we initially didn't have the soundbar configured the built-in speakers seemed adequate. While it was quite cumbersome to get through all the screens of initial setup before we could actually watch something (including multiple agreements that are required to enable certain features), the operating system is pretty user-friendly and responsive. The list of apps on the home screen is almost fully customizable; there are a couple native apps that can't be removed. The TV responds pretty quickly to the remote or to an Alexa command to turn on or off. The main disappointments I have with the TV relate to other aspects of Alexa integration. When I request for the show I'm watching to be paused/stopped/played it either doesn't respond at all or the response takes 30+ seconds. The TV can also act as an Alexa device and field commands including by using an Alexa button on the remote, but this often triggers by accident and opens the Alexa screen when I'm in the middle of watching something, to the point that I want to disable this function. Lastly, I'm disappointed that the dual-screen functionality is almost worthless. There are extremely limited apps you can select to use in this mode. You can see I have quite a few apps installed on the home page, but the only things available for dual-screen are Web Browser, Camera, Live TV, and YouTube. Overall I feel it is a good value and great quality both in construction and how the picture looks, but the few things that should be nice convenience features are lacking.
