LG C4 65" vs LG OLED C2 55" (Evo)
The Verdict
LG's C4 represents a meaningful generational leap over the C2, delivering superior brightness at 1300 nits versus 800 nits,critical for well-lit rooms and HDR content pop. Its α9 Gen 7 processor handles AI upscaling more effectively, while gaming performance edges ahead with 1ms input lag versus 6ms. The larger 65" panel suits most living rooms better than the 55" C2. Audio output jumps from 40W to 60W, though both support Dolby Atmos adequately. WebOS 24 provides fresher smart features and app support compared to webOS 22. At $500 more, the C4's superior brightness, faster processor, better gaming responsiveness, and larger screen justify the premium for serious movie enthusiasts and gamers. The C2 remains capable for darker viewing environments and smaller spaces, offering exceptional value if you prioritize savings. Choose the C4 for the full flagship OLED experience.
