I just got the 65" C4 and I think every review mentions this green tint thing.
I just watched another video that mentioned and paused it at a place with a big white background and the reviewers face on screen.
I walked from in front of the screen all the way to both sides and didn't notice any hint of green in the image.
The BACK of the TV??? Really???
The box??? Really???
You are lucky. A third of my screen on the left has this green tint when looking at the screen directly without any angle. :(
@@kelvintse1421 Are you saying that the tint isn't even uniform? That makes it even worse...
The box haha. That's reaching.
I have the 48" model. No green tint thankfully. I did have a grid and lots of vertical lines on screen out of the box but this fixed itself after the first auto pixel refresh cycle (which I learned about thanks to another of your awesome videos).
My biggest complaint about the TV is the remote control. The gloss back gets dirty too easily and it doesn't have any media controls!! How can a smart TV not have dedicated play/pause/fast forward and rewind buttons??! Makes watching blu rays a right chore :/
Great to see you again my friend! I am still rocking my LG C2 that I purchased after watching you do a review on it. Seems I will stick with it for another year. Big thumbs up my friend! 👍👍
I haven’t had an OLED without the green tint yet. I had Panasonic 55GZ950, Sony 55A8, Philips 55OLED706, LG 42C3 and Philips 42ILED808 and they all had it. Its very common for the WOLEDs to change to green when watching under an angle so you get like half reddish and half greenish unless you go extreme off angle then it changes to totally greenish. But yes this reddish greenish thing can be worse from unit to unit and some have it even when watching straight on. With my samples GZ950 and OLED706 had it the worst while A8 and 808 the least.
Good video thank you, what I like about this perspective is that none of the issues you raise concern me and that in itself is a great endorsement for this TV.
Great point!
Funny thing is i've only had burn in on LCDs. My very old TV had it, my couple years old Surface Pro has it. My OLED TV i've had for 3 years now and i'm heavily gaming with it, with fixed UI on screen for hours on end, no burn in yet... *knocks on wood*
*remote control*
I rarely use it. Here's what I do...
For my wall-mounted G2, I have a thin bookshelf below. On top of that I have a Samsung Soundbar. Next to that I have a have an Amazon Fire Cube. I love the tiny remote that it uses . AND I prefer the Amazon main page over LG's mess.
Cube remote is similar or identical to the Firestick, but I got the Cube because I have a 4TB SSD attached (through a powered HUB as the USB2 on the Cube can't handle much power)...
KODI is the software I use for my movies/tv (ripped hundreds of movies!)
anyway, I only use the LG remote to enable Bluetooth (have a BluMe bluetooth thingy for my 3.5mm headphones) and switch back to my Soundbar, or change the motion smoothing (leave mostly on "Cinema" but sometimes need more for some anime/cartoons that judder too much).
Honest I’m fine that the box comes like that. No need to make it all extra to just throw it out.
In the end for gaming on consoles and long term for keeping the brightness LG is always the better choice. I have tried Phillips and Samsung tvs and they get green, get dead pixels or have a yellow tint when playing. Which I think is not alright for their price. Samsung also cheat a little when it comes to performance.
I’m split on c4 and g3/g4 but don’t want over 50 inch
Just seems like OLEDs have gotten so far since the CX and is now almost like the iPhone, very minor changes that don't drastically make any difference other than a few brightness tweaks. My LG C2 had some pretty bad burn in from using spreadsheets on it for work. Literally about 4 months of using the website that caused it (not even stuck on the same page all day, a lot of moving around to different tabs). Whatsapped LG, they advised that they wouldn't replace the panel. Shame, but it does seem to have almost gone a year on after a sh&t ton of pixel/panel refreshes.
100x thumbs up!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is that all, the green tint seems very very minor. Even noticeable when watching content instead of a white screen?
Show me your biceps big guy💪💪
The remote very old and boring this is get 2024 very bad,others give small slim Bluetooth remote ,but LG give this dogshit!
No thanks, I'm not going to be charging a fucking TV remote like it's a mobile device.
I agree it needs to be made much smaller, but having removable batteries is still the best option.
@@StardustLegacyFighter i have aa slim remote who told you just usb and what charge 1year once to much to you.
Wonder what kind of a tint we ll get on next years C models 🤔 We got Pink, Green already ... i'm hoping for Orange, next time. It'll go well with my curtains. C'mon LG, give us Orange!
Updates are NOT a problem. Never complain about a update. You don't want updates, get a Samsung. They stop supporting their TV's after a year. You could turn updates OFF
Thats not great with green tinge when viewing in angle. 😳
Yep, i got the C2 and is the same thing. The only way is going with the qd-oled, which uniformity is perfect. I’ve a monitor and a tv and they are flawless
People viewing their TV from the side have it coming anyway tbh.
@giulioparisa8794 QD OLED TVs don't have a green tint but they most definitely have a pink/magenta tint.
However, it tends to look more natural than a crap green tint, so QD OLEDs still win.
Sounds better than the pink tinge we use to have.
The C3 has soured me on LG OLEDs. Within 5 months it started flickering and now whenever I watch, the screen goes completely black while the sound still plays. If people are buying the C4 I hope they don’t have that experience.
Love your honesty, if people can't handle the truth well bad luck for them.. Keep up the good work Paul..
I returned my LG G4 because of the washed-out colors and green tint that I could notice. I was underwhelmed with G4 I ended up getting the S95D and I love it. S95D colors and game mode is amazing. I also love watching sports on Samsung S95D
Well, You know Tech Giant, LG means Life's Green.
Ignore the haters they got nothing better to do, keep up the fantastic reviews it is important to show good and bad so you can make an informed choice when spending money on these tv sets
Haters? Where?
I was just on LG yesterday and got the 55" C4 for only £930, cant really complain about the price. I have been running a Samsung HD tv for over 12 years (the one with the black bevels and red details), now the capacitors have started to buzz quite loudly. I was wanting to get the G3 but it was out of stock...
Yeah the 55" C45LA was £930 and the 55" C44LA sold most places was £500 more expensive on LG website. I phoned them and the only difference is the cheaper C45LA has NFC on the remote so it's better!
I picked up the LG USC9S Soundbar from Peter Tyson for £479. It's £999 most places. Listened to it in John Lewis. Sounds great and looks cool as designed to be housed by the C Series.
The only other difference is the more expensive one has WISA (wireless speakers capability), which is of no use to me, so I got the 55inch C4 for £930. An incredible deal at that price for a 2024 OLED.
Sounds like a great TV.
If you have to mention the colour of the box and the back of the TV as being negatives. 😅
You probably should just want to wait ✋️ for the better type of Television which is the Micro Leds Displays Televisions Technology 📺 that truly surpass these of Organic Oled Television Displays Technology materials that housing the On-Chip Board to house 🏠 the Micro Leds of the Micro Leds Displays Televisions Technology 📺!😂❤
I use the remote control from my old LG plasma to operate the majority of basic functions on my C3. It has play/pause/ff/rw/stop buttons on it for USB film playback which the C3 remote doesn't have. I also have occasional green tinges, primarily on skin tones.
Who actually sits and watches their TV from the sides?
Imagine Having company over and they are sitting on the side of the sectional
Nobody
my 48 c4 is fine nice cool tint on my settings.
no problem with green tint. i sit in front of my tv not aside.
Is there an embargo on doing c3 v c4 not one TH-cam video as clearly the c3 is better
I went with the C3 over the C4…
i guess this issue only for C series. Because im using G3 and this white not changing when i watching this tv different angles.
Im waiting till a Labor Day sale to buy a C4, G3 or 4 65 inch but may get a 77 for the new football season. Hopefully prices drop a few hundred by then.
Hi, it's great to see you back on here .Great video, as always.
Have you heard about the diagonal line artifacts on darker colors (while in motion)? It happens on all LG 2024 OLEDS. You have to sit close to the screen to notice it, as if you're using it as a PC monitor.
Another reason why using TVs as computer monitors is bizarre.
@@StardustLegacyFighter The entire C series up until this point (C1, C2, and C3) were phenomenal computer monitors.
lol all the worst things he mentioned are the things I don't even consider
since this are the worst things then this tv is okay to me then I'll buy it❤
Damn, why are people negative? I’m sorry bro. Thank you for your opinions. I have leaned on them before and I am here once again. Thanks for your efforts
Fixed power cables suck i mean how on earth are we meant to use this even unplugged ones are too short my hair dryer has a longer cable.. and my toaster..why would u get hate comments i dont understand your only trying to help people 😢 upsets me...🎉
Samsung has red tint
The LG CX too
Design of the box ? 🤣🤣🤣 now you nailed it , box which is thrown into the trash after happy instalation.
I bought an LG CX brand new after watching your channel. That was a while ago. I love the picture quality, but some of the things that annoy me are obviously still present on the newer designs, like this one. The most frustrating one is the poor reliability on the eARC connectivity, despite both units being made by LG and an expensive, fully compliant cable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Generally I find anything that works 'automatically' in software is unreliable. The remote is pretty much the same as yours. Why have they buried the info button knee deep in menus? Hopeless. Final point - no CH4 catchup because LG refused to pay the licence for it. I'm not sure I would buy LG again.
I agree. Get Samsung S90D or S95D. Both great Tvs
You’re a honest guy Paul,thanks for doing these videos,be kind people it costs nothing.
Only 65 have green tint or all sizes c4???
All C4
Will any manufacturer make a TV that has firmware that is not full of bugs ?
Sadly i doubt it, but LG are taking the mickey with so many that could so easily
combined into one.
Re the green tint, my C3 had the pink tint if you tried to view off axis, the viewing
angles of these Oled panels is not great.
The rest of the issues that irritate were there in previous generations yet LG choose
to ignore them.
My brand new LG C4 65" has a third of the screen with the green tint when viewed DIRECTLY... :(
@@kelvintse1421 Sorry to here that, reject the TV and ask for a refund.
LG are aware of these issues when viewed off axis, but if it's there we viewed
directly that indicates a faulty panel.
I hope the retailer does the right thing, don't accept a repair or exchange.
The remote, yeah it feels cheap, time for it to go. But I do like the magic pointer part. Every person in the house does and was a requested feature on our next TV when I was shopping to replace my C8 to get the G3. No play/pause drives me crazy.
play pause = press wheel
So C3 is still fine, no need to buy C4
Love your channel You tell the bad and the good love it
Ill give you two 👍👍🤭 ... im ready to buy a new tv (mine is 35 yrs old!!), sadley i can't go bigger than 48, but this green tint which im assuming isnt just exclusively on the lg is making me very reluctant to buy any oled this year. Is it something that can be adjusted in the settings or on a future update? Thanks for all your excellent work.
In the invent of making the tv lighter and save on the environment they used lower quality materials for the back of the tv
Shame the price ain't lower 😄
how noticiable is the green tinge when actually watching something ?
Quite noticeable to me when watching anime like One Piece. It's awful because the green is not uniform, so portions are greener than others. I'm so unlucky that the green is noticeable even when NOT watching from an angle. :(
I replaced the panel on the OLED g2 because of a problem and I received a panel with a green color, it's awful, with the pink color it was much better, does anyone know if it can be fixed?
Did the replacement have any problems? I'm experiencing this green tint problem with my brand new LG C4 65".
Unfortunately I'm pretty sure that it can't be fixed.
Such a shame, to put it mildly, that you have to put up with such issues for such a price.
does it move if you changing your viewing angle? if it does then it is the inherited tint of LG woled panel, nothing you can do about it. If it is static tint aka uniformity of the panel then you should exchange it.
@@exenemy3216 will the calibration correct the problem?
@@ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝ21 No, what causes this is the antireflective coating layer LG uses on their new woled since C1. Every screen has this problem more or less, if it is too bad you should exchange it or switch to TV with qd-oled panel.
Из его болтовни так и не понял что с кабеем не то !
LGs R.D department had cuts made, thats why there testing is now shit for hardware like TVs.
Hello Paul you left two another worst thing about this LG OLED. We are in 2024 and we are spending huge lot of money and funnily enough this TV still ships with USB 2.0 no USB-C and also if you check the network it is still 100 mbs only! Thanks for the video
Unfortunately, we live in a cancel culture world, where idiots on the internet have this backward mentality of thinking anyone that criticises ANYTHING, somehow makes you a hater.
The world has truly become absolutely pathetic.
Hi. I have a 65inch lg OLED and I have a very particular problem and I can’t find any solution anywhere and maybe you can have an ideea. The TV turns on , but the dashboard doesn’t come on. It will not recognise any HDMI connected devices like Apple TV or PS. You can hear sounds in the background but the image will not come on. The only one that it will recognise is the SkyTv box after multiple on and off turnings. After Sky comes on (Sky is the UK satellite cable tv) only the sky remote works , the LG magic remote only allows volume up or down and switch to another HDMI outlet but then you can’t get back to Sky. You will only get sound. No image. So after a few ON and Offs I will get the image back. 90% of the buttons on the magic remote do nothing. The settings button brings the menu list on if the sky is on only, but after that you can’t access any of the features. Nothing will work. I wanted to reset to factory settings but I can’t get into the menu or dashboard. It is only a 2 yo TV and it was so expensive amd it must be bugged or corrupted or something but I tried everything online videos reboots and such but nothing works. Can you help
Agree with the frequent updates 💯. All because it forces you to when you actually open it. Should be done in background or option to update like how it is on every other OS!
I fully agree with all the cons. The power cable on my 2016 Panasonic DX900 was detachable and so are my Samsung TVs but not my G2 and the boxes from the big three are garbage nowadays, if TCL & Hisense can still manage to have nice colorful boxes then the big 3 have no excuse although thankfully with LG & Samsung you still get plastic over the screen whereas with Sony you don’t even get that anymore. I don’t use the art feature so that’s no loss to me personally.
The 3,567th thing I can't stand about the C4 is the sound quality. It would be better to not have speakers so we could buy a soundbar before ever hearing the speakers in the first place.
Thanks for the information, but I have to laugh. Complain about the box, but no mention of the horrible reflection in the screen. lol
I don't know. I like these brown plain boxes more. I remember I was very disappointed when Technics moved from brown boxes to white ones back in 90s.
If ppl say youre nit picking about things its cos you are. What does it matter what the back of the tv looks like. Seriously if thats a worst thing in your list of many then you really need to rethink about your video continuation
Hello from Sweden, Great videos! Are u going to review the bigger models of the LG G4? Just bought the G4 in 83” and 55”
Well done for your work. Making TH-cam videos consistently is hardwork.
RTINGS also reported “colour banding” in the gray colour zone on the C4. Did you see it at all? (Planning to buy one in the fall.)
I'd throw away my tv if it had the bbc logo permanently burnt into it
Thanks Paul. Have plans t oget your hands on the LG G4 and Sony Bravia 9? I would like to har yout take on testing these. Stay up!!
Hello TG😊
Doom the dark ages will blow call of duty away trailer out now the daddy 👨 is back 😊😊😊
The motion looks bad , with the bird flying around , or is it just the camera 📸?
Keep up the good work mate 💪 positive vibes coming at you from Ireland dude 😎
rtings mentions aggressive ABL, how aggressive are we talking? is it like jarring, is it frequent?
It is true that the LG C4 has a true glossy glass panel where other manufacturers are a semi gloss?
I want to upgrade to 77 inch G4 but I’m so scared of burn in as I have a 65 inch C8 closing in on 6 years old now and has logo burn ins and I can’t part with so much money to see it happen again has the new oleds improved in that area ? Cheers
Hi
Yes new Oleds are improved with tech to prevent burn in. You just have to go to settings menu -"Oled panel care" and Enable them. They have: Pixel Shift - when a static image is detected it is switching pixels continuously, Logo protection - it is dimming the static logos.
Pixel refresh - every 4 hours of watching tv it takes 1 hour of clean-up when tv is turned off-(standby), user Must Never Switch Off the Wall Power Outlet so the tv' ll be on Standby Mode for the process to be performed.
Pixel clean - It's performed automatically (If Enabled) once a year or after 1000 hours of viewing, it takes a few hours to be performed. There is also an option for a manual pixel cleanup if necessary, e.g in a case of Visible Image Retention - Ghosting. It is recommended to use this manual feature very rare Only If Necessary.
There is always the risk of burn in even with these preventative technologies.
I hope I was helpful.
Cheers from Cyprus!
@@panx5471 thanks heaps for reply
@dionmcmurrick7997 after the c9 and up they got a lot better against burn in I have a C1 77 and never really see image retention at all. I had a b7 and it was very noticable. nowdays you don't have to worry about 🔥 in 😀
@@ernestohernandez9370 thanks for reply 👍🏻
We're in the same boat as our old LG OLED has burn in all over the bottom and top left.
Read some recent articles saying burn in is a thing if the past etc etc. Bought a 2024 LG OLED B4 last week and it had burn in out of the box(packaging looked unopened and brand new btw) go figure, the left and right sides of the screen had all the stats of the TV showing clearly when we tried it out with a football match playing. Usual different colour uniformity TV test which I recommended everyone to play when they get a new TV confirmed it.
So we sent it back and are just going to live with our old LG oled for a bit longer.
From my personal experience running the burn in fix software feature only made it look worse on our current TV so if there's any signs of Monday tv send it straight back. Good luck making your decision, hope this helps 🤞
I got the Same Problem with Red/Pink on my LG CX.
Specifically is it just the C4? I mean if I got a G4 or any other fairly recent LG is it on them too?
In short, it is not something from the new line 4 and something that happens from the c1 to the c3 also has a greenish tone, and some models have a pinkish tone, I have seen reports of the g3 also having this greenish tone, now the g4 no longer hears it and may have it too. It's something from oled technology it's not something from Lg. Amoled screens from sasumg are also like that
Are you returning the telly if it's got green colour?
they all have it, some even have a pink tint, and it varies from panel to panel, even the c2 and c3 have some
@@haewymetal my c3 has mild pink and green tint but it hardly appear on camera so i think c4 has it worse. Heavy green tint is the worst because it will ruin skintones.
كلهم حاجات عادية الا اول واحدة بس
I hope you will get your hands on new Bravias soon.
Thanks for the info 👍🏽
the new LG oled tv panels have 5 year panel warranty fyi
Get rid of that silly Rokuten TV button on the remote. Let’s be real, no one is using that. That button could have been TH-cam instead.
Totally agree with you on that one 👍
Do you still have a connection with Peter Tyson?
That green tint is so bad. You better exchange it.
The remote control hasn’t changed since the c1
Yeah, we definitely need a remote refresh.

Hey mate. Looking to upgrade to a OLED and this is about the max I can go budget wise, possibly the C4. I’m into my gaming and have the PS5 and Xbox X. Currently have a big older 65 inch Samsung that’s nothing special and almost unwatchable when the sun is out. Will I be happy? Budget is about £1300 so this appears to be the best in that budget? Any tips appreciated
@mitchyruns7818 The C4 should be a good choice, but if you want a little extra brightness, then it may be worth considering last years G3 OLED.
If you shop around, you may be able to pick one up.
You wony get a c4 for that. They cost around 2.2k
Green tint also visible while sitting right in front of the tv? On the left and right sides and slightly on the top and bottom? As if you're looking in a circle in the middle that does have the right colors?
For the price it's a rip off.
@@MrFrankFurter What other option for the price, that has sizes below 55 inch and is 120/144hz would be good?
There doesn't seem to be any other option besides the samsung S90D..
Is this a manufacturer default?
Hi Paul - Just reaching out to you asking have you ever had any issues with LG ? my LG- G1 77 inch which I purchased from John Lewis 2 years ago just decided to throw up error code 201 which means I cannot watch any channel via the app BBC , ITVX, CHANEL 4 & 5 + Netflix & Disney + are all unavailable to me . LG has turned their back on me because the Warranty has expired & John Lewis has got a 3rd party to come & take my G1 away to be repaired which will take a minimum of 28 days ! ! - so as from Next week I have a blank wall to stare at where my G1 once lived , I feel that me & LG along with J.L is done , Im switching to SONY as i've been told their warranty procedure is a lot better , I was just wondering if you or any of your viewers have had any issues ? or as LG have said "its just me" !
I would always advise buying a TV from a retailer that gives 5 or 6 years warranty, 2 years isn't long enough
@@nicholaswebb8418 Thank you for your reply , I did purchase it from John Lewis they have a 5 year warranty , however thieir policy is to take my TV away to be repaired ! if its not returned within 28 days they have to provide me with a temporary tv until mine is repaired , I may even end up with a 42 inch the replacement doesn't need to be like for like !! - I am really annoyed that I spent so much ££. on a so called hi end TV & im in this predicament , its just not good enough .
The thing that stopped me from buying one was the massive brightness drop in game mode
when its massive bright youll get burn in. whats better?
Why can´t they fix this panel color tint issue after all these years?
65c3 no tint!
Fixed plug is stupid
