The C4 is the follow-up to the very popular C3 series. And according to Abt technologist Carl, “LG’s made some tweaks to make this one even better”. The C4 has plenty of amazing features and abilities to offer any viewer. That’s why our experts provided a thorough video overview of this product. Press play to get a first-hand look at this screen. Then, keep reading our breakdown to learn more about the hottest TV on our shelves today.
LG C4: A Display You Won’t Forget
So what kind of picture quality can you expect from the LG C4 TV? Well, this device features LG’s signature OLED technology, which provides the most incredible watching experience no matter what kind of content you love most. This screen is illuminated with over eight million self-lit pixels. If you want to magnify these pixels for more radiance and luminosity, investing in a model with Brightness Boosting technology is your best option. But do note: Brightness Booster is only available in C4 models 55 inches and up. The LG C4 also has an exclusive processor, which enables the TV to display the smoothest, most vivid picture quality.
Carl says, “This one gets the updated Alpha 9 AI Processor 4K Gen 7… this processor does an amazing job using AI to accentuate the parts of the picture that the viewer is going to be focused on and it brings a better sense of realism to anything that you’re watching”. With the help of AI Super Upscaling, this device can also automatically enhance films, sports or any other content you’re watching, no matter how low resolution it is. Both the brightest and darkest parts of every scene will be richer and far more accurate thanks to 100% Color Volume and 100% Color Fidelity too.
Host Cozy Movie Nights with the Help of the LG C4
Sharing an entertainment center with someone who has a different taste in media can be complicated, but not with the LG C4. Just tap into Multi-View and split your screen so everyone can watch something they enjoy. While all of these optimizations are more than enough to deliver a truly stunning display, this device has even more special features to take your content to the next level. With Dolby Vision and the high dynamic range (contrast), the black levels and the colors of each image will be elevated. FILMMAKER MODE, on the other hand, will give you the power to view the film in its original glory, just as the director intended.

Big Sound In A Small Package
Standard audio is often mixed into two separate channels or what we call “stereo sound”. The speakers built into the LG C4 deliver a more powerful audio performance though, thanks to the Alpha 9 Gen7 AI Processor. The TV up-mixes this standard stereo sound into virtual 9.1.2 channel sound. In simpler terms, instead of two channels powering the audio, this TV has nine channels, plus an additional subwoofer channel and two upward-firing speakers. This is a big step up from your average surround sound system. You can expect the sound to spread all around you for a cinema-like, immersive experience. Dolby Atmos further enhances this with a revolutionary surround sound format that supports a multi-channel audio experience. Plus, smaller features like Clear Voice Pro will enhance dialogue and other details.
Smarter TV, Smarter Technology
So what additional features and technology can you expect upon bringing the LG C4 home? To begin, the TV interface is fairly simple to use. Carl explains, “The layout’s easy to navigate. You have a row of shortcut cards to categories like Games, Music and Sports, where you can find suggested content that matches the category. Then you have a row of apps that can be customized to give you quick access to your favorite ones. And under that, you can see things like your most recently used input and a preview of what’s on the LG Channels app”.
The LG Channels app offers over 300 free channels, including cooking, fitness and sports. While streaming services are all the rage now, it’s great to have backup content when you’re not sure what to watch. The LG C4 also features built-in Chromecast and it’s compatible with smart home devices like HomeKit and Apple AirPlay 2. This will give you the power to connect every smart device you own for ultimate control over all your technology. If you enjoy hands-free control over your TV, this LG model works with voice technology like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant too. Just give your device a verbal command and enjoy your home entertainment without lifting a finger.
Enjoy Better Gameplay
Planning on using your TV for more than just casual viewing? Lucky for those users, the LG C4 is full of video game enhancements. This device combines a 4K at 144Hz refresh rate with a 0.1 ms response time to keep the imagery clear and smooth. Together, these technologies support your fastest movements in speedy, action-packed games. Note: this 144Hz refresh rate is not automatically enabled upon setting up your TV. Be sure to watch our overview and learn how to activate it. Carl says this refresh rate is, “great news for any PC gamers out there, with graphics cards that can support those specs”. Once you start your next online battle or competition with this rate, all tearing and blurring will be eliminated.
Relax With Some Screen Time on the LG C4
This LG model has plenty of other gaming software built in to help improve your play experience, too. This includes AMD FreeSync Premium, VRR and NVIDIA G-Sync. If you’re not a PC gamer and prefer a gaming console, the LG C4 also has four HDMI 2.1 inputs for easy plug-ins. No matter what you decide to play, the LG Game Dashboard and Game Optimizer will give you the power to adjust game settings and controls to your exact liking.
LG C4 Design & Accessories
The design of the LG C4 is nearly the same as the C3, with no major improvements to note. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, though, you can expect a near-invisible bezel and an ultra-slim frame. This gives the screen a more seamless look. Carl also notes, “The C4 is also extremely light but doesn’t feel cheap. That light weight can come in really handy if you wind up mounting this to the wall, as it’s a lot easier to handle than a lot of other TVs out on the market”. Whenever you’re not watching TV, you can also use this device as a makeshift gallery piece.
Choose from a variety of photos and paintings to display when your screen goes idle. The device will almost become another decorative item in your home! And just like any other TV, it comes with a remote. But not just any old remote… a magic one. Here’s what Carl shared: “If you’re not familiar with the Magic Remote, it is one of my favorites. You can use it like a regular remote but if you shake it, it brings up a cursor on the screen that makes it easier to select things that are showing up on the screen. It takes a little getting used to but once you get the hang of it, you can navigate around the screen much more quickly than using a traditional remote”.
