@TechsithKG have you noticed any screen tearing or judder when using VRR on the Xbox series X? Myself and a few other G4 owners are experiencing this. Feels like it could be a hardware rather than software fault.
@@marcaston924 No but ill look into it more, you shouldn't have any tearing with VRR, judder is still possible however depending on the game this is the case with any TV.
😅 I did it again! I forgot to mention LG G4 is backed by a 5 year panel warranty. Thumbs up this post if you think every OLED TV should offer this.
Can you please test the De-Judder 10/10 in 30FPS games to see how big is the input lag?
I am using De-Judder in gaming on my C3 but I am curious if the new Alpha 11 processor will give you lower input lag vs the Alpha 9.
Thank you.
Except you have to pay for labor after year 1...
Can you make a video how to set up the settings in lg g4? Also when should I have tone mapping on or should I have it always off??
Your review was great and put together nicely! Great job KG! Thanks for your work!
KG once again, fam you did an excellent job and review here! I like your talking points as you did cover a few things that others have missed (whether intentionally or unintentionally).
Just wanted to say thank you very much for all your coverage of the G4. I went for the 83” G4 and it arrived today. Upgraded from a 77” CX and the G4 is shockingly good. I am much more impressed than I thought I would be. Just blown away really. Thank you again!
Great to hear! It is a TV that definitely deserves all the praise its getting LG absolutely killed it on the processing & tone mapping it is a much better product than the LG G3 to the point where it shocked me.
Great job KG. Thanks for the video! 🙂
Always love your reviews KG. Very direct, you cover exactly what the consumer is looking for
Excellent review, thank you!
Great job reviewing this beast 👏🏻
Solid review. I know you're going to do more comparisons in the future but curious to hear your initial impressions around color volume and if this TV can compete with the QD OLEDs when it comes to color volume and luminance.
I’m gonna try and find some high color brightness scenes for the comparison of the S95D when I get that.
Excellent review answered many questions
glad LG is back to peak
Ooh that’s the art museum in Toronto-beautiful building 5:21
How does the motion handling and upscaling on the G4 compare to the Sony A95L?
This TV is smokin hot. Gotta get me one no matter what. Got my dough saved up for one now. I'm really excited about this TV more so then I have been for any TV in recent years.😊
Nice work. Waiting for the 83”
This set has your name written all over it bro
@@highdefnews175 it’s literally in some warehouse with my name on it LOL.
@@AllAboutTKK Very nice. Looking forward to your thoughts on it.
@@TheAntifluencer integrity too high to buy an 83” tv just to review it. I will never be that guy.
@@TheAntifluencer I’ve discussed that.
I currently have 2 s95b both in my babies rooms each.
A95k is in my bedroom.
C2 is in guest room.
A90K has been given away.
S95C s90C and A95L are all around.
I am truly an enthusiast bruh. It might be hard to believe but I’ve shown it 3 years on YT but this is 20+ years running.
Essa televisão é simplesmente fantástica.
Parabéns pelo trabalho 🎉
Estou falando aqui do Brasil
KG thanks for touching upon the subject of Multi View in your video. Not much is talked about that particular subject or info is shared. So it is possible to view 2 hdmi sources at the same, which is good news. Is it possible to do a side by side or PiP test in your next stream?
Have the G4 77 inch, love it but dont like the new quick menu and Filmmaker mode seems overrated, its actually pretty dark. Wasting how bright the tv can get. Ps5 gaming is epic!
The interface and processor is noticeably fast
Yeah i would definitely not be buying an oled this bright to watch in filmmaker mode😂
How is the sound level in terms of bass in the volume? If I get this tv they won't be money for a soundbar.
Are the colours as rich as a qd oled and how is the 3d depth?
Filmmaker mode really is made to be watched in completely dark rooms. Even then i find it to dull on my TV. No shame for me, i love colorful and bright eyecandy. Its why i got an OLED to begin with.
Appreciate the review KG. LG did an amazing job this year.
Nice work my friend. Thank you 🙏
Thanks KG!
Can you make a video how to set up the settings in lg g4? Also when should I have tone mapping on or should I have it always off??
Will consider the 77” G4 when it drops to $3,500. Nice review KG. 👍
I like that vivid mode
Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a 77" G3 😭. Oh well, guess I'm waiting until Black Friday to buy this instead 🤷🏿♂️🤣
but then the g5 will be around the corner
I have a 77 G3. Brilliant TV, hard to imagine, how better could the G4 be in real life...
@@trippplefive Ultimately, I want an 83" G3 with MLA, and the G4 is the one so I'll be good 👍🏿
Got the S95B a about a year and a half after launch, new on sale for 900 bucks. Best TV ive ever seen with my own eyes and couldnt be happier. Sure the S90C was just around the corner, but i wouldnt get that for less than 2200$ where i live anyways. Paying more than 1200$ more for slightly more brightness and 24hz on top of the 120hz isnt worth it for most people. Youll be happy with the G3 for sure.
Black Friday? Get your bread up and buy now or not at all. The tech game is always changing and trying to make improvements just have to make a purchase and be happy. I had the budget for an OlED tv but ended up getting LG’s 86 inch LED 120 HZ refresh rate and I’m more than happy
The remote Wii function is amazing. Yes, physically remodel the remote but keep the Wii function.
My only gripe with this TV is the stand. I wish LG went for adjustable feet instead of a bulky stand.
Good Review KG
please please compared this beast with sony a95l side by side just like you comapared g3 and a95l,,,,please
Keep my lg c2 65 inch some more years, or buy the lg g4 77 inch, on black friday or some other sale?
Will you do a comparison on multiple games against the competing tvs? It's always a great showcase to show how bright each one can get.
Absolutely
The G4 looks amazing.
Looks like I will Upgrade to G4 from my G1. Especially for Game Mode improvements.
it would be cool if you would make a best settings video for the g4
I have a C2 and love it. 👀 Considering a G4 upgrade
What would non-white color volume and luminance look like compared to a 2023 S95C ?
The black level on this OLED display looks amazing on my LCD monitor.
Can the G4 83” be mounted on an extended tv mount instead of the flush wall mount that is sold separately for this tv??
I got the Lg G2 2 years ago ago and still working perfectly someone told me to upgrade it for that G3 or G4 because those are better tvs and they have way better things but I don’t really see a big reason why, Maybe for the G5 or G6
My B6 stand looks classier than the G4’s basic looking stand, but since picture quality is more important I’ll still probably upgrade in November when prices drop.
I have a lg c1 also is it worth the upgrade to the g4?
Looks great KG. Is it hot in a bright room and in sdr on full screen brightness?
Nah not hot
Still wondering how a S95D (Gen 3) does w/ service menu mods for better brightness. I have a 55 S90D & unfortunately, it’s still a Gen 2, but w/ mods, can get up to 2k nits peak & ~1300 at 10% window.
Think the 77 S90D w/ Gen 3 can beat it if it’s indeed a Gen 3 panel w/ service menu tweaks.
Waiting for 42 and 48 inch s90d review or comparison side by side with C4 42 and 48 inch
Awesome tv,i think i will buy one when price go down later this year😉 my s95B wont turn on today,i took to TVRS Glasgow for repair,sadly out of warranty few months
Sorry to hear about your S95B I would be very upset if mine goes I really enjoy watching on it still it’s about 90% of these new models
@@TechWithKG thank bro,they told today part coming on monday-tuesday,tv will be ready for collection on wed,power supply issue,its a common issue with this model😉✌️
Nice....will be getting G4 instead of G3 in 6 months time.
Is the LG G4 good for SDR gaming i play a lot of SDR games is it bright
Does it still have a blue tint to white
I purchased the lg 77 and it’s an awesome tv show
The LG OLED G4 seems to be having a significant issue with HDMI2 (eARC). Connecting external video sources to HDMI2 (which work on the other the other 3 HDMIs) do not produce an image (but you can hear sound). I have done all the troubleshooting in the world in order to try to isolate the issue to no avail (changing HDMI cables, factory resets, hard resets, removing the HDMIs one by one and re-adding them one by one, turned off HD color). Nothing works. The interesting thing is that this issue temporarily goes away with a hard reset, but it quickly returns.
After unsuccessful attempts at getting effective tech support from LG, I purchased a second 65 G4. Exact same issue! On 4/4/24, LG pushed down an update 3.10.27 which has not resolved the prob(in fact, it's not even addressed in the release notes). I should also point out that the setup I am using is the exact setup I have had with a C9, CX and a C3 just before getting the G4. This HDMI2 issue never occurred with the other TVs.
The devices I am talking about which work on other HDMIs but not in HDMI2 of the above-referenced TVs are Fire TV 4K stick, Nintendo Switch, Apple TV 4K and PS5.
If this is a software issue, then it can hopefully be addressed quickly by LG, seeing that the G4 is their flagship OLED and the problem is with the most important HDMI - the HDMI2. However, if this is a hardware problem (difficult to believe that both units were defective - in fact, I heard from another LG customer that he is having the same issue with a 83 G4), then LG has its work cut out for it. I can't think of many people who would be willing to wait for a hardware fix which would require for a part to be replaced by a tech's visit on a brand new TV which has been lauded by LG as ground-breaking.
All this would be very easily clarified by LG, but up until this point, it seems to be pushing customers (at least me) to an endless loop of bad customer service and then either that (a) the unit is defective and sine it's under the 30 (or 60 in my case) day return period, it can be returned, or (b) to send a tech to diagnose the issue. What exactly the tech would do beyond what i have done to troubleshoot has not been communicated by LG (unless they believe I would be conformable in having the tech open up a brand new TV and start exploring . . .).
This is very disappointing. I hope that the various reviewers take note of this very easily identifiable problem (all you have to do is connect a few video sources into HDMI2 and observe for a few hours while turning the TV off and on an again). This way, the interested customers would be informed and LG would provide some information on this issue.
Hello do you still have the same problem?
@@Tormentor_ Yes. It has not been addressed by LG yet (although I was told a software update "should fix it"). I am reading more and more G4 users are experiencing the same issue.
Hi there
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if LG G4 has upgraded, compared to last year's LG G3, in regards to:
1. USB ports, i.e., USB 3.0
2. Ethernet port, i.e. 1000mbps
3. Wi-Fi adapter, i.e., AX
Thanks
After my terrible experience 4 s95bs I think I’m picking this up in 55’’
@Eric-pq8lz S95B doesn’t have one connect box so I rarely encountered any connection issues because I only had my series x plugged in at the time
@@aprozsolt8046 I had mostly panel issues with one panel being broken by a tech. I had to wait a month before they sent someone else to inspect the damage that was done tech took the TV and I was given a voucher for a new S95B through the Samsung website, which I had delivered and it arrived broken
Hahaha i feel u, i had 4 s95c faults. Samsung are such garbage with qc, im totally over their bullshit, bought the g4
@Eric-pq8lz The s95B doesnt have one connect box, been using mine now for 8 months and couldnt be happier.
I'm on my 3rd S89C so I feel you. Amazing picture but the build quality is so cheap. My LG G3 has fantastic build quality, like Apple levels.
hey KG, my G4 55 inch on the stand has a slight tilt backwards. is that intentional by LG?
Can the stand fit the 83". I know it doesn't come in the box I believe. But can you purchase it separately? Thabjs KC for the awesome vid
I don’t think it would looking at the back.
@@TechWithKG ok thats unfortunate. Thanks for the reply ❤️. Do you have an aftermarket stand you recommend for the 83" LG's?
Has the color banding improved over the G3 during gaming? It’s really noticeable on the G3….
I wanna know about this as well ! Did you find out OG poster ??
I've still got the LG OLED 65B9PLA and I am still very pleased with it.
It's been 4 years now.
It has some features which I think the newer models don't have
Eg a headphone 🎧 which I need as my sound system, amplifier and Kareoke all are connected using this output on splitter.
LGG4, nor the previous LGG2, G3 does not support the audio standard output. It uses an optical one which I also have 🤔 on the B9.
I can also resize the picture to 16 X 9, remove black bars on sight zoom 🔎 which is customisable. I could not see this feature on my friends LGG2!
He bought a LGG2 and I was impressed but still my old B series still rocks!
Why change when your TV is picture perfect!
Old is Gold!
It's not worth paying twice the price! 🙏.
Sooo why no stand for the 77 inch?
Got my G4 55” on sale through LG Partner store for $1700 after taxes and free shipping. Such an amazing deal, there was no way to pass it up! That’s almost 40% off the MSRP!
Nice that’s awesome you got that deal enjoy the TV!
I like the Edge Enhancement for AI Picture Pro.
But how does it work permanently?
Supposedly it prioritizes edge enhancing I gotta test it more might do a whole video on it.
If upscaling is good and the auto-dimming is in check, this TV looks like absolute fire.
Considering this G4 or the new Samsung S95D in 77". A big consideration though is the sound and I would like the new Q990D Samsung atmos soundbar after being very satisfied with the Q90R that I got 4 years ago. I've read this latest soundbar is now far superior to my old Q90R and I've also viewed some poor reviews of the LG flagship soundbar system. The Q symphony on the Samsung TV that can be used with the soundbar for extra immersion and the object tracking feature is swaying me towards the Samsung TV. For myself the sound is as much a key factor as the picture quality although I don't want to go the AVR and seperate wired speaker route for aesthetic reason's. This LG could be a stellar TV and debatably a little better than the S95D but will the TV and Soundbar integration on the all Samsung setup outweigh the possible minor advantages of this LG screen? Looking to make my purchase around September time so I'm still open minded and looking forward to viewing plenty of side by side comparison reviews before I make my decision. I must say I've been very happy with my 5 year old LG OLED but I've read they have improved considerably since my last purchase.
I will be comparing it to the S95D this coming weekend and by time your ready to purchase I will have a few more videos on both TVs, I will say with the S95D you’re going to have to like the coating.
@@TechWithKG Thank you. I've heard about the S95D matt screen not being to some people's taste and I don't think I'd really need it anyway. My room only gets direct sunlight in the morning's when I don't watch TV and I tend to have the lights off or low when I'm watching in the evening's.
When selecting Film Maker mode, does the latency/input lag differ from that of game mode?
Yes there is added input latency depending on the mode you select, it doesn't feel like a ton but it is more.
Depends on allm on/off. Fmm without allm has too much lag, with allm it's around 1 frame added lag compared to game mode.
Thankfully you can unlock Peak Brightness on the G4 with ColorControl. I know this isn't ideal as it requires an external fix, but at least it's possible. Still - I agree with you, shame on LG for this.
Wow. I haven't been this hyped for an LG since they 1st introduced their evo panels. I can tell this is legit if it impressed you.
At same price 77“ G4 or 85“ Bravia 9?
So i was thinking buy the g3 i have a c2 now but is g4 better to but is it a big diffrence?
Bonsoir , le G4 est un peu plus lumineux de 200 nits par rapport au G3 , il est en 144 hrz au lieu de 120 qui est déjà au top avec un nouveau WebOs de 2024 , et pour tout le reste c'est le même , je possède le G3 en 65" et franchement c'est une bombe atomique dans tous les domaines surtout que maintenant il y'a les mises à jour pendant 5 ans à partir de la série de TV OLED 2022 , entre le G4 et le G3 il n'y a pas beaucoup de différence sur la généralité sauf ce que j'ai cité ci-dessus , mais faut avouer que le G4 va envoyer du très lourd aussi dans tous les domaines , mais de toute façon c'est la guerre de la luminosité pour les constructeurs de TV OLED mais à partir du LG G3 franchement c'est de la tuerie et aucun soucis de luminosité c'est largement suffisant même c'est trop déjà voilà quelques soit votre choix à partir du G3 vous allez kiffer à fond 👌👍😉
Why are all reviewers avoiding a G4 vs A95L comparison 🤔
Avoiding? I think they’re coming…we just have to be patient
It's still early but I've seen two videos comparing them directly so far. The G4 was preferred in those cases, by the video maker.
I’m hoping the LG C4 has the same game mode SDR/HDR fixes as the G4.
I remain doubtful between this G4 and the Samsung S95d... What's the best to buy in this moment?
I have the same question. Did you make a choice yet? And why?
Cant wait to get my 83" hooked up with full Kef 7.2 meta series and dual subs. Neighbors will love me
Posterization has been blight on my gaming experience for years. Disappointing to hear this TV doesn’t escape it. Doe the a95l have this problem too or no?
It’s definitely not as bad as previous years I’ll say that. A95L doesn’t and if it did you have a working smooth gradation to illeviate it
7:12 Both tvs set to dtm:on?
For games is great what about for movies ? And tv shows ?
What about the colors though? Is it as rich as the colors on the s90d? I had seen a few reviewers say that even the c1 has richer colours than the g3 so I'm guessing the colours are even less richer this year due to the higher brightness. Though the colour red seems to be improved. Also what about the 3d depth? I have heard it's the best on any tv.
Bro u need to go to store to check and not rely on reviewers who are trying to make money on youtube and/or getting money from manufacturers to say good things
@@BT_01 I have already had a few matte displays, have seen many aswell, they definitely look inferior to the glossy ones, no amount of technology in the tv will be able to overcome that. Colours look flat and lifeless and the oled looks 2d instead of 3d.
Where is/would your money go KG if you were personally had to choose between the S90D vs the G4 for your main tv?
This is just not a reasonable comparison- the S 90 D should be compared with the C4, whereas the S 95 D should be compared with the G4…
S95d hits super high brightness with the mod..i havent measured my one but cud be close to 3000 nits..g4 has no hope.
@@RZLK-02the difference though is it’s a “Samsung” which isn’t that good.
@@RZLK-02not true, the g4 would get destroyed it it the s95d had a glossy screen, but it's an abomination of a tv with that fully matte screen, colours look flat and the depth is lacking big time.
@sokaipaopu8208 it is a samsung which sells way more than lg n sony combined ryt? Thank samsung that they brought qd oled to the market n lg was forced to introduce mla. Lg n sony were making incremental.updates every year n making crazy profits.
Secondly a modded gen 2 s89/s90c/s95c is so much better than g3 n a95l while costing less that it's not even funny.
S95D could have been the king if it was glossy.
It's still technically the best performing panel (gen3) and the matte coating is even limiting some of its brightness
I need to see against the G4
Lets hope LG fixed the game mode on the C4 also 🤞
They didn’t.
@@HegoDamaskII God damn it 👺 LG has let me down ... again
It's still much brighter than last year's c3 in game mode.
Great video! Btw, when’s your next livestream?
Might be one tomorrow if I can arrange it properly in time
One of the best G4
Yes. becaus it is the only g4!
Is it as bright as the 2018 Sony X950G?
Have A8H having fomo
Does lg g4 have better motion than Sony a95l in slow panning shots in movies?
Fomo did a comparison of them and they were equivalent.
@@tylerthere5832 I compared some slow panning shots between Sony a95l and my LG C2, and I thought LG c2 was better. Both have the same standard/natural motion setting.
Please advice KG I'm in UK what is your preference a Sony 75x95L or a Samsung 77s90c
77 S90C better contrast, better gaming, similar peak brightness but since its self emissive it will look brighter in most average APL scenes, no LED downsides, likely better uniformity than most LED TVs when it comes to panel lottery. If Samsung's streaming or processing not being as good as Sony is a deal breaker grab a Sony OLED like the A80L check my live stream from today if you want to see it against the S90D and A80L.
@TechWithKG thankyou for your comprehensive reply but I've been looking at Rtings and they say the Sony A80L is to dark
@@jackrichards1703 their measurements may say that but brightness measurements don’t tell the whole story, check my stream it’s pretty close to matching the S90D in so many scenes. It’s far from a dark TV.
KG are there any glossy versions of the g4?
Only version there is.
@@TechWithKG sweet thanks!
If your saying its close to the A80l then the A95l will kill it in the processing dept
I own s90c 65” gen 2 panel, how is this tv vs g4?
It shud be better than g4 if u refrain from using filmmaker mode..in that case g4 wud be brighter.
Can you get a stand for the LG G4 77"?
Did you get an answer to your question? I too am looking for a stand for the 77 inch
When will you get the S95D?
Ordered it apparently they are delayed on shipping so hopefully Thursday I’ll have it
Does G4 have RWBG or RGWB subpixel layout?
That g4 looks like a 3d free glasses viewing
Well, you’re not going to do eSports on a 120Hz TV))) so just turn on Filmmaker on G3 and don’t worry
Wow!
Why compare the G4 against the S90D? Wouldn't the S95D be a better comparison?
True
Because the s95d is a waste of a tv with that ugly matte screen. I wouldn't be surprised if the colours on any woled look better than the colours on that abomination.
@@TheAntifluencer it definitely does see quantum tvs reviews, a matte screen will never be able to compete with a glossy screen no matter how good the tech inside is. It's just inferior, I have had quite a few matte displays so I know for a fact.
@@TheAntifluencer ok
I’ll do both I don’t have the S95D right now. Comparing cheaper models to more expensive models is very important people want to see and learn about the differences.
Is the screen gloss?
Yes
Plz is lg g4 upscaling is better than Sony a95l processor upscaling or not . even equal or not
Yea
Coming from a videophile as well, the A95L does have the edge on color accuracy, fidelity & color gamut. It is still the better cinema tv. However the G4 does seem so have slightly more detail.
can you compare lg c4 to lg g4
I will yes in the near future
Still waiting for someone to properly test the 144hz on these new tvs.
This tv is going to cost a motorcyle here in Brazil and I want it anyway.
It cost like 10 motorcycles for the 77" model here where I live and that's for a TV without any kind of warranty.
@@varshoee i know exactly how you feel, man.
Can someone test it with house of dragons?
A like and subscribe good work
