📝 Full Review
Overview
The LG OLED evo C4 (2024) is TechRadar's pick for the best all-round television of 2024–2025, and with good reason. OLED technology means each of the 8.3 million pixels self-illuminates and switches off completely for black, producing infinite contrast that no Mini LED or LCD TV can match regardless of price.
OLED Picture Quality
The C4 upgrades the excellent C3 with the new Alpha 9 AI Gen7 processor, bringing improved AI upscaling for lower-resolution content, better HDR tone mapping, and the Brightness Booster feature that pushes peak HDR brightness higher than previous C-series OLEDs. Dolby Vision IQ uses a built-in light sensor to automatically adjust HDR tone mapping to match your room's ambient lighting.
Gaming: Best in Class
The LG C4 is arguably the best gaming TV available for the price. All four HDMI 2.1 ports run at full 48 Gbps bandwidth, supporting 4K at 144Hz with Nvidia G-Sync Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certified. Input lag in Game Mode drops to as low as 1ms — genuinely indistinguishable from a gaming monitor for PS5 and Xbox Series X players.
WebOS 24 & Filmmaker Mode
WebOS 24 is LG's most refined smart TV platform: fast, clean, and compatible with all major streaming services. Filmmaker Mode disables motion smoothing and colour processing to display exactly what the director intended — how the film was graded in the colour suite.
Verdict
At ~€1,299 for the 55" (down significantly from its launch price), the LG OLED C4 is the definitive choice for film lovers and gamers who want the absolute best 4K picture quality available today.
