LG G4 77" vs LG OLED C3 65" (Evo)
The Verdict
Both TVs deliver excellent OLED picture quality, but cater to different needs. The G4 77" features LG's newer MLA technology with 2100 nits peak brightness versus the C3's 900 nits, providing superior brightness in bright rooms and more vivid HDR performance. Its 1ms input lag crushes the C3's 6ms, crucial for competitive gaming, while its 60W audio system outmatches the C3's 40W setup. However, the C3 65" remains an exceptional value at $1799,nearly $1500 cheaper,with identical 120Hz refresh rates, VRR support, and webOS functionality (albeit one generation older). For space-constrained setups or budget-conscious buyers, the C3 delivers tremendous performance. For enthusiasts prioritizing maximum brightness, superior gaming responsiveness, and immersive audio in larger rooms, the G4's premium features justify its cost. Both include Dolby Atmos and full gaming features. Choose the G4 for cutting-edge performance in spacious living rooms; pick the C3 for smart value without major compromise.
