    What LG I’ve done with G4 is not to increase the brightness but improve the quality overall by making subtle improvements that is visible. Just by increasing brightness doesn’t make the TV better but how it handles near dark areas & shadow details. Also better posterisation mitigation which is common in streaming and sat TVs.

WRGB OLED is based off white light so when it gets brighter the white light is what increase the brightness so the colors will get duller. QD oled use quantum dots that emit color not white light so when it gets bright the colors will be brighter and more saturated than on a wrgb oled.

The screen goes grainy with lines through it, and only unplugging the TV seems to fix it. Have you guys encountered this issue? I'm still waiting to hear back from lg for a solution.

    Hi Caleb, perfect review as always...I currently have a Panasonic TX-P50G30E plasma TV at home and I don't really understand the "climbing for the highest numbers" regarding brightness and such. I found that my TV has a maximum full screen brightness of 87cd/m2 and I think that's enough for me. It is true that I have to close the curtains on the window opposite the TV, but I have a bright room and I can see everything and the picture is nice (not perfect, but nice). The TV is currently "ripe for retirement" and I'm thinking about buying a new one. Everyone scared me that OLED has poor brightness, but I don't think so. What are you think about it? Sorry for my English. Thank you very much.

    Great review! I didn't see it mentioned in the video: how well does this TV handle color banding? Both rtings and HDTVTest noted banding in their stress tests, with rtings using patterns and Vincent using a scene from the Martian where it looked pretty obvious. I give less credence to the patterns for all the reasons you mention in your review. Since banding is one of the only video artifacts that truly annoys me, I'm curious if it's noticeable in most real life usage, especially in game mode since it seems to show up more often in video games and my usage is probably 50/50 for games vs film/tv. It's essentially the determining factor for buying this model or a Sony TV

    Really appreciate your videos, always informative and entertaining. I brought and returned the G4 for one main reason. I was looking for a bright OLED for my bright living room. I found the picture settings useful to achieve just the right brightness and picture pop. Having owed several Samsungs, I appreciate a bright and colorful picture. The one and main issue was DolbyVision, which always seemed to be dimmer than what I wanted. Additionally, the picture settings you mentioned in HDR mode are not available when the video is encoded with DolbyVision and there was no way to disable DolbyVision. I’m wondering if you had the same experience or did I miss something in the settings menu?

    You can grab a streaming box and then throttle the box in the settimgs to only recognize up to HDR10. On my G2 83" this boosted brightness and shadow detail in normally dim DV content since it forces DV to HDR10. Streamer I use is Roku Ultra.

    Great video as always! You may have to replace the nitt nerds section with tone mapping for nerds featuring real scenes. Cant wait for the shootout.The g4 beats the s95d in many sceens for both brightness and saturatuon: the Samsung chooses to reduce the apl of entire scenes diminishing it's qoled advantage this year and is scene specific making it muddy. Can do is irrelevant if it doesn't well represent implementation be it panel type or testing conditions. Maybe one can cook an egg on the g4 but methinks Samsung took its eye off the ball while LG may have hit a homerun.

    Since all TVs get reviewed very early in their firmware upgrade cycle, I think it would be useful to have generational comparisons where you have, for example, G3 with latest firmware and G4 with current firmware. I would also like someone, with time on the their hands, to create a website with full firmware upgrade data for each tv set and manufacturer with a curve for features added, features removed, bugs fixed - because at prices like these I want to know that manufacturer is committed to maintaining and improving your multi-thousand dollar “investment” as most people outside of the viewers of this video most likely will keep this or similar TV for 10 years (I know I would as my “temporary” TCL TV that reviews said would last at most 3 years before dying is still working 7+ years later - but being a Roku TV it is still getting firmware updates once a year or so).

Like it appears to the ear as a "cut out / popping" sound - it's driving me insane! Please escalate with LG if you think you might be able to help get this issue to their attention!

It is even brighter in most cases than the X95K miniled which i also have. But the overall image is just amazing. Looks like they copied Sony and improved this. The A95L lowers it brightness on the PS5, the G4 just doesn’t. Much more enjoyable

    What exactly is so different about the G4 compared to the G3? If it is - as you say - significantly better than the G3, then why wasn't there a side by side comparison? Sure, the G4 has received some improvements like the new processor etc. But how does it look in reality? Can you even see the differences or do you need to use a magnifying glass? The G3 is currently available for a good price and I don't see any reason to pay significantly more money for the G4.

    Depends on what you want from gaming. The G4 is probaby ideal in terms of gaming features. But if you play a lot of games and prefer having no risk of burn in, the Bravia 9 is probably the better one to go for. You'll likely have some very slight bloom in darker areas, but you'd also have a better image qualilty. Responsiveness would be slightly slower, but that only really matters for high-level gaming. It won't really mean anything if you're just playing through games, the difference is less than a frame when playing at 120 fps and simply not noticable for most people unless directly comparing side by side and specifically paying attention to it. So basically you can choose between perfect blacks + slightly better gaming features & responsiveness VS much more brightness, no burn in risk (only really matters if you use your TV like 8-12+ hours a day) and probably slightly better image quality/colour accuracy (since Sony tends t obe the best). Anyhow, I'd recommend waiting for Bravia 9 reviews which will be coming out very soon. Personally buying a new TV when it's just out is just too expensive for me. I'll just wait a year or so, my current TV is still good until then.

Honestly, once you start watching something, you don't really notice a difference. Not like you are going to love a movie on the G4, but not so much on the A80J lol.
