LG C4 OLED
The C4 is the LG TV I recommend most often. OLED evo panel, peak brightness around 1100 nits, full HDMI 2.1 on all four ports, 120Hz with VRR and G-Sync compatibility, and webOS 24 running on Alpha 9 Gen 7 processing. Movies look gorgeous, gaming is responsive with sub-10ms input lag, and the Filmmaker Mode is the cleanest out-of-the-box picture I have tested. Unless you have a very bright room, this is the LG to buy.
I have owned LG TVs since the first OLED model and tested every panel tier they make. Here are the five LG 4K TVs I would actually buy this year.
I bought my first LG OLED back in 2017 and have stuck with the brand for the simple reason that webOS is fast, the magic remote is the best in the business, and the OLED panel quality keeps improving. LG makes a lot of TVs, though, and not all of them are great. After comparing the current lineup across rooms with different lighting, here are the five LG 4K TVs I would actually recommend today.
| TV | Panel Type | Size Tested | Best For |
| — | — | — | — |
| LG C4 OLED | OLED evo | 65 inch | Movies and gaming |
| LG G4 OLED | MLA OLED | 65 inch | Bright living rooms |
| LG B4 OLED | OLED | 65 inch | Budget OLED |
| LG QNED90 | QNED Mini-LED | 65 inch | Sports and HDR |
| LG UR9000 | LED | 55 inch | Bedroom or guest room |

LG C4 OLED
The C4 is the LG TV I recommend most often. OLED evo panel, peak brightness around 1100 nits, full HDMI 2.1 on all four ports, 120Hz with VRR and G-Sync compatibility, and webOS 24 running on Alpha 9 Gen 7 processing. Movies look gorgeous, gaming is responsive with sub-10ms input lag, and the Filmmaker Mode is the cleanest out-of-the-box picture I have tested. Unless you have a very bright room, this is the LG to buy.
LG G4 OLED
The G4 is the flagship-design TV that hangs flush on the wall like a piece of art. The MLA panel pushes peak brightness above 1500 nits, which makes it the first OLED I have used that holds up properly in a sunny living room. Anti-glare is improved over previous gens, color volume is wider, and the wall-mount-first design comes with a slimmer profile. If wall mounting matters and your room is bright, the G4 is the LG to pay extra for.
LG B4 OLED
The B4 is the cheapest current-gen LG OLED, and it delivers most of the OLED experience for hundreds less than the C4. The catch is the processor is the slower Alpha 8 Gen 7, which means slightly worse upscaling and HDR tone mapping. Only two of the four HDMI ports support full HDMI 2.1 features. For most viewers who do not have the C4 sitting next to it for comparison, the B4 looks excellent.
LG QNED90
If OLED is outside your budget but you still want a premium LG, the QNED90 is the right pick. Mini-LED backlighting with quantum dots and nano cells, peak brightness over 1200 nits, full HDMI 2.1 on two ports, and 120Hz with VRR. The local dimming has more blooming than OLED and black levels are not as deep, but for sports and bright HDR content, it punches well above its price point.
LG UR9000
For a bedroom or guest room TV under 500 dollars, the UR9000 is the LG to grab. Standard LED panel, 60Hz refresh, no HDMI 2.1, but the picture is sharp and the webOS interface is the same fast experience as the premium sets. I have one of these in a guest bedroom, and visitors regularly compliment the picture without knowing it is a budget set. Skip it for primary living room use though.
Common questions
Only if you have a bright room or want the wall-mount design. The G4 is brighter and uses LG's MLA panel, but for most viewing in moderate lighting, the C4 delivers 90 percent of the experience for hundreds less.
Modern LG OLEDs are rated for around 100,000 hours to half brightness. Burn-in protections like pixel shifting and screen savers are aggressive, and most owners see no problems over 5 to 8 years of mixed-use viewing.
