LG G4
Reddit take
AI summary of the Reddit excerpts below — not a quote
The LG G4 primarily refers to a high-end OLED TV praised for its industry-leading brightness and contrast, though the name also appears in discussions regarding legacy smartphones and professional audio gear. In the home theater context, it is frequently cited as a top-tier display with superior motion handling and upscaling, though users debate whether its performance jump over the LG C4 justifies the significant price increase, especially for dark-room viewing.
Pros
- Exceptional peak brightness for an OLED, powered by MLA technology
- Top-tier contrast and picture quality for high-end home theaters
- Excellent motion handling and upscaling capabilities
- Reliable scratch hop performance in professional audio setups (Sennheiser variant)
- Legacy smartphone model is still remembered for its removable battery and SD slot
Cons
- Significant price premium compared to the LG C4
- Mixed reports on daytime glare handling despite high brightness settings
- Incremental improvement (roughly 10%) over lower-tier models according to some users
- The vacuum variant is noted as being heavy (though balanced)
Caveats
- The term 'LG G4' is highly ambiguous in search results, referring to a TV, a 2015-era smartphone, Sennheiser wireless audio transmitters, or a Kirby vacuum cleaner.
- Some users suggest the G4's advantages are less noticeable if the TV is used primarily in dark environments.
Best for
- Home theater enthusiasts seeking the brightest available OLED technology
- Users who prioritize motion handling and upscaling for sports or streaming
- Location sound professionals looking for a reliable scratch hop (Sennheiser G4)
Avoid if
- You are budget-conscious and find the LG C4's performance sufficient
- You primarily watch TV in a dark room where extreme peak brightness is less critical
- You are looking for a modern smartphone (the LG G4 phone is legacy hardware)

I miss the SD card slot, a lot, and the time I could carry an extra battery (loved that when I had the LG G4).
If you want the ultimate OLED picture then get the LG.
Parent context: Definitely not true I use to be a heavy android user on Samsung g7 and LG G3 and G4 but went to iPhone 8 11 and 14 and just recently went to one plus 13. iPhones just work flawlessly especially if you use an apple watch and air pods and the apple wallet is usually first to be adopted; being fair android is stable too and Google wallet seems to be getting better. That being said if you want a … Reply: I suppose it's not a surprise that if you use hardware from the same manufacturer it works well together, but all of those things individually are poor value.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 lg g4, was going to use the 83 AJ90 but I'm going to put that in the game room.
I’m coming from an 8 year old Sony Bravia OLED and also have a 65" LG G4 as a benchmark.
My G4 is WOLED, so I'm familiar with it, but it's also a top tier TV, so no surprise.
I decided between the C4 and g4.
He owns a LG G4 or C4, but either way: At daytime the brightness WAS an issue, the glare was too strong even with Max brightness setting, peak brightness enabled and all energy saving settings turned off.
imagine C4 and G4 probably another 1500-2000. Yea..no thanks, for another 10% improvement.
i only got it because lg g4 was out of stock.
