- After using LG's new flagship OLED TV for a month, here's my full review on the LG G4 TV. I've tested all the AI features, the new alpha 11 processor, and hooked up a gaming PC to the LG G4 TV to try out the new 144Hz refresh rate. This may just be the flagship OLED TV of 2024 to beat.

LG G4 OLED - 1 Month Later: Is it Worth Buying? - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The quality of your reviews is still one of my favorites. To the point, enjoable and cinematic. Keep up the good work! 🔥
Great video review! Appreciate the time and work you put into this video! You mentioned every category and small detail! Keep it up please. Maybe a side by side comparison to the G3 or mention what the differences were to you?
I have viewed this TV model in a showroom, and it just leaves all the rest standing. So well designed the aluminium frame still looks ageless and the 2nd gen MLA with 144hz is a gamers dream. Let's see if this will end up being TV of the year...
Not as good as Sony Bravia A95L QD OLED
@@RobertK1993 it's the best for this year i think A95L hard to beat
G4! I'm moving at some point in the next year and planning on getting myself a swanky new TV as a housewarming gift to myself, and I feel like 2024 has me spoiled with all the great options. Thanks for the review!
Hi Andrew, excellent review and congratulations with your LG G4. LG always makes excellent (OLED) TV'S. In a couple of months this year, I will go for the 55 " inch because I don't have no more space on the wall. I have now a 46" inch Panasonic on the wall. Thanks for the review. Glenn
Really love how sleek this looks. Thanks for the detailed G4 review! Also, loved the aesthetics of your setup, beautifully done!
Love your set up, more specifically your aesthetics.
Thank you for the great review. what movie/tv show is on @3:45 Rebel moon? G4
Beautiful review. No bs only content 👏💯
Great review. Is there a nit measurement for the peak brightness of the 48inch model? I'm curious about using this as a monitor in an outdoor scenario.
FINALLY someone who properly tests the new 144hz feature on the G4, it looks incredible. thank you for sharing!
how can it look incredible on a 60hz video on your approx 60hz monitor lol
144 isn't a big deal. It would of been cooler if they had 240Hz.
@@Lewis-jn8ry they will only give you a little at a time
@@Lewis-jn8ry It's not a big deal but it still makes a decent amount difference. 144hz feels smoother than 120hz and it's noticeable, at least for me (this is probably subjective). I doubt a 240hz 4k TV like this will be coming out soon. First off, HDMI 2.1 doesn't have the bandwidth for 4k@240hz + 10bpc - so a lot would need to happen to get it to work well.
Great review Andrew. I was wondering whether you had a chance to experience an IMAX enhanced movie with this TV set. I couldn't find anything anywhere about whether or not this tv fully supporting the IMAX enhanced content exploiting the metadata that may change the image settings as intended by the director. I know a sony bravia does it but was wondering if the LG panel does it at all or only change the image ratio without changing any other settings. THX
Looks great, and the sound is amazing. ordered 😊Thanks for sharing all the information. Good job Andrew 👍
Looks AMAZING! 🎉 It's got all the bell's and whistles 🤍 Great review my man 🤙🏾
Just wanted to say thanks for your coverage of the G4. Your glowing words on the G4 (along with reviews from other creators) helped me make the decision to get this TV. I went for the 83 and got it yesterday. It is insanely, mind-blowing good. I am way more impressed than I even thought it would be. I upgraded from a 77 CX and did not expect such a huge difference, but this thing is worth every penny. Thanks again!
Hope you enjoy it for a long time to come!
Thanks, planning on it! Quick question though, where is the setting for dynamic tone mapping? I could not find it and while you mentioned it, did not see it in the video.
Never mind, just realized the setting is hidden because I’m connected to my Apple TV in Dolby Vision mode. 😅
Just curious what your viewing distance is?
@@ricksb5 around 12 feet from my eyes to the screen.
Hi, thanks for another great video. I have even larger windows behind the sofa and facing the TV, so I am considering getting the Samsung S95D. Are you planning to test it in your living room. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks
Hi Andrew, fantastic review. In regard to your wall mount, does that extend outward at all so you have ease of access for cables? Doesn't look like it from the product page. Cheers!
What is that console/piece you have under the tv, with the soundbar sitting on it? Looks great with this size of screen!
Great review! Can’t wait to have ours. Where did you get your media console from? It looks really nice
Great review, very comprehensive
Great review when I can I will uprade my old 55 inch OLED which is now getting banding.
Hi dude, do you use the same settings (color, and warm balance) with gaming? Or you change something?
Awesome review. What size is that one?
Hi - Is this a 65" or 77"? Thanks for a great review vid :)
Beautiful loungeroom setup particularly at night
G4 with the Sonos surround!🔥👌🏾
Nice video. Would also watch reviews of dishwashers or other kitchen supplies
Is it better than a95L processing wise? How about color luminance?
Is the upscaling better than the G3? But nice info bud
can u pleaz talk about ur setup : tv stand soundbar, trick to hide ur cabbles Thanks you
How does the TV perform upscaling of standard High Def content and blu rays?
Hey great video. I got the G4 yesterday and love it. However I think there is an issue with VRR on 120hz games. Have you noticed that Gran Turismo 7 micro stutters quite a bit with VRR enabled. I found that turning VRR off and then back on whilst in game rectifies this. Be good to know if you see this and anyone else who has the G4
I currently have the 65 inch LG OLED65E6 from 2016. I see LG does not have an E series anymore. Have had some burn in throughout the years and was thinking about finally upgrading to a 77 inch G4. My E6 remote is awesome, wonder why they stopped using them? With 8K seemingly loosing momentum I may just get the G4 now. Hoping even with going from E to G, the impact is noticeably improved :) after 8 years.
Hi Andrew, about the picture settings , you mentioned that you’re using filmmaker mode base, but on the video it shows cinema home. Did you change it by any chance? I also noticed that clarity on the video shows at level 20. But the filmmaker mode level is 10 could you please clarify this? I’m assuming that the brightness states standard according to which format you are watching. Thanks for the great video!
I think the content he was watching on that video was Dolby vision content which doesn’t have a filmmaker mode. Cinema home is only available on Dolby vision and hdr. I’m assuming he was referring to filmmaker mode when watching sdr content, it just so happens that he was watching Dolby vision when recording.
I just got the g3 on hefty discount and it’s amazing I’m sure there are improvements but I’m so happy with my new tv. Hope everyone who gets one enjoys the g4.
picture quality are much improved than pervious TV.. but more brighter mode cause very high temperature on screen surface upto around 85 Celsius degree ..
Are there any USB 3.0/3.1/3.2/Gen1/Gen2 or USB-C ports on G4 to get gigabit or more wired internet speed via USB to Ethernet adapters ?
I was about to purchase this weekend BUT target had the lg c3 65 inch for $999!!! Couldn’t pass that up lol g4 looks great though 😂
Please make a comparison vid between the new Sony bravia 9 mini led and the LG G4
I just bought the lg g3 83 inch but ended up returning it because the whites weren’t true white. It had a blueish/greenish tint to it. Also when viewing the tv in different viewing angles, it shift to a very strong blue/green hue color. And tended to look super dark. Does the g4 have any of these issues?
How to get table mount for this oled G4 65 inch tv bcuz recently i have purchased this model in 65 in but its without table stand . Is there any website or some where i can order?
G4. Thinking of getting the 77”
Keep my lg c2 65 inch some more years, or buy the lg g4 77 inch, on black friday or some other sale?
How far are you sitting from the TV?
Which tv stand is that and where can I purchase it in the US?
Thanks for this. STILL waiting for LG to release the stand (US).
The peak brightness is about 1500 nits. I have a 77" G4. The panel supposedly can do 3000 but I'm guessing it's limited by firmware.
I own the 77G4 since yesterday. It replaced the 65CX. It’s absolutely an amazing screen!
Lool im just waiting for the order and made the exact same change from 65CX to 77G4 😂 cant wait to get it i hope ill be shoked from the quality difference
I'm in the same boat lol. Im coming from a 55 CX to a 65 lg G4. I put a lot of hours into the CX.
Do you have a PS5? Have you noticed any issues with VRR when playing 120fps games? I’ve had it with Gran Turismo 7 but not sure if I have a faulty unit
How far will you guys be sitting ?
Considering the 65 or 77 at 9 feet
@@kjell9745 on my 65 im sitting about 7-8ft for me it feels best and on my new 77 i gona sit 9-10ft
With the tv stand did they address the wobble?
Did they fix the HDMI 2 problem? G4
Did you notice the silver bezel reflecting off the tv while watching? One reviewer mentioned that and said it was distracting enough for him Not to keep the tv. 🤷♂️🤔
Have not been shopping for tv's in a decade, amazing how technology changed
How is SDR Brightness on this tv for gaming
4:46 What is that cool floating decoration thing?
G4! WOW Andrew the G4 sounds incredible! I have the c2 and I love its picture quality with the Apple TV 4K so the G4 must be out of this world! :) The only thing that bugs me slightly with the c2 is if I display a white screen, the right hand side is slightly brighter than the left - noticeable when I'm watching skiing & snowboarding :) is this panel uniformity? I don't notice it any other time so I'm guessing that it's LG and the c2 mass production quality control bloops! :) For OLED the G4 really seems to be the one to go for! Paul
Either ABL kicked in or your panel has uniformity issues
@@jollama Yes uniformity issues which I believe is quite common
And what about if you have a 77G2...
Is this upgrade explainable?
Im still rocking a C9... but this looks amazing.. G4
same
Same
LG OLED G4 I love 🎉❤❤❤
I have the C1 and ill probably stick with it.
Should I upgrade from my C1?
What was that floating white ball thingy?
Hi Andrew your videos are great. Did I hear you correctly all sizes including 77-inch will come with a stand in most regions?
Yep, confirmed after calling the local retailers
Last I heard only the 55 & 65 have a stand anything over that is a wall mount
@@lordwicked8855that’s the way it is in the U.S. at least
Oh Wow them speakers really sounded great on my cell phone!
Not to mention the awesome quality of the anime that looks like a cartoon on a television set of this caliber!
After the update, voice search stopped working on my c2. The pixel cleaning functions have also gone wrong and cannot be added to the schedule! its foking sick !
I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but usually, on LG OLED TVs (with this subpar remote), holding the back button works (while using HDMI CEC) when a single press doesn't.
I currently have the C2 which I love, would you recommend an upgrade anytime soon? Would love a C series in the bedroom and G series for living room
I did this last month. I put my 48 inch C in the sleeping room and put a new G in the living room.
I changed my order from the G455 to C465. The reason is that i couldnt affort the G465. And im happy i went for the size and not mla. Right now i turn down the brightness because i get a headache. I would never fully use the better brightness.
And what about theSamsung S95D? Who is the best?
Sony OLED A95l compare to how much is this byr or worse❤
Only interesting question its if better or not than Sony A95L overall
What Soundbar do you have ?
Not sure If i should go for a LG Soundbar or the Samsung Q995 .
I'd avoid Samsung soundbars in general. They're buggy, constantly disconnect (especially if you have rear surround speakers). I'm not familiar with the LG ones unfortunately but all I can say is avoid Samsung.
@@Asherek lg soundbars are best im using sn6y wd rear speakers wich totals 5.1 output
What game is shown at 3:53 please?
do not click auto update is better advice
you should always research what they change before installing something that is not reversible
This TV and the S95D are built for movie enthusiasts and PC gaming. Otherwise I say go for the Hisense U8K or the newer U8N hell even the U7K or U7N. Both the U7/U8N both do 144hz gaming and are Mini LED with QD and 1500 to 3000 nits. So most people in my opinion should go for those tvs.
Lol yes go for hisense and get those frame skipping
Can you compare to the S95D
I’m on the verge of buying a new TV, coming from a 4k LCD Samsung. Was contemplating the G3 for a long time but seeing the G4 now i’m not sure what to do. I can’t really justify the €3300 vs the €2150 for the G3z
So I just upgraded to the a95L from a C1. Was also considering the g4 but they didn’t have it in stock at the time. Very happy with quality, brightness and colors of the a95L. Curious to know if you think the g4 is better?
You are good with the A95L. G4 and A95L for the most part are equal, they trade blows.
A95 colors and contrast smoke the G4
@@hightidelowtide6380 yeah the qd oled colors really pop. Do you have the g4?
Had both and returned the 4
@@hightidelowtide6380 gotcha, how are you enjoying the a95L so far?
can anyone please tell me, which country exactly produce these oled new TVs, is it really korea or egypt, because i heard since egypt started to make them in its country, the durability is not as good as korean version, is that true?
I don’t believe LG said that the G4 is 50% brighter than the G3. AV forums tested this and it was marginally brighter.
I wanted to get the 65 but I don't find it yet here in Italy
Did they finally install a better ethernet plugin thats better than 100 mbs?
Is it 55'?
Currently running a 65C7, and am almost certain I'm going to pull the trigger with the 83G4. Might wait for the LG spin and win and see if I can get a small discount. But I doubt I'll wait that long.
Black Friday says hi
Give us an update. I currently have the C8 and it amazes me till this day
What screen size would you guys recommend? I am sitting ~3 meters away from the wall and I am using a 55" TV at the moment. I want to upgrade to 65" but I am afraid that it would be too big
If space is not a problem go for the bigger one. Im sitting a little more than 2 meters from 65 inch and am thinking of upgrading to 77 soon.
I wanna see how it compares to the new Sony Bravia 9. Best OLED vs Best MiniLED
G4 83 and up🙏
But is better than the G3 because I’m still deciding between the G3 or G4
Already a month lol and I still cant buy this TV in my country, but will wait for BF deals anyway, nice review
I have a Lg G2 and still works and looks good, and I know there's big difference now between G3 and G4 but for me unless my G2 broke down I don't see a big reason why I should change it or upgrade it, I'll star thinking about it when the G5 or G6 come out
Hi man, I also have 77g2 and I have exactly the same thoughts in my head, although I see g4 as a very good TV in 2024. I’m waiting for g6, I think even after the release of g5 it will be too early to think about an upgrade.
Great video, G4 is fantastic, in my opinion it will be affordable in 1 year, right now the G3 is the winner in price. G4 costs a lot more than it is better. Approximate prices: 65G3 2200USD 65G4 3400USD 77G3 3300 USD 77G4 4600USD.
agree mate. have the lg g3 77 inch also. not worth to upgrade. its only 100 nits brighter. if you are a pc gamer. yeah go for it. 144hz while the g3 is 120hz. but i am a console gamer. not worth to upgrade. also wrgb oled is on the limit. can be much better. i wait till next year or 2026. hopefully blue ph oled !
Thanks for the review!👍
At what height from the floor do you hang it?(To the bottom edge) Thanks.🙂
It depends on how big your TV is but general guide starts at 40 inches to TV center
@@AndrewEthanZeng 77'
Looks good. What happened to the Samsung frame?
Still a great TV, just moved it to a different room!
I just bought the 2023 model. I already thought it was one of the best tv’s ever. So that one is even better?
I love my CX but after seeing this in person I might just upgrade.
G4 is the qd-oled cult destroyer 😍.
Great to see someone that has the tv a month while its not avaliable in my country 😢
grey bezel is seen from the front
That’s not the pack in stand we get here in NA. That looks like the G3 stand in the video. The new one has no backwards tilt. That’s saying you are getting the included stand with the 55/65inch. The bigger sizes has only wall mount included and I’m not sure if those sizes would get the same stand or not if you had to order one.
stand is available on 55inch 65 inch
No mention in the title, description or video itself as to what size the screen of this particular TV is.
77inch in the description now
I walked into a Best Buy yesterday with polarized sunglasses and noticed I could not see the 77” G3 screen. If you wear polarized sunglasses and are constantly walking in and out of the house this may not be a good tv. I’m looking at the 83“ G3 because it does not have the Anti Reflective technology.
Thanks for all the helpful info and maybe this is something you can check out.
