Many reviewers complain of a brightness diminishment in the game optimizer, but this has never bothered me. If I wanted a brighter TV, it would be solely to sear my retinas into blindness. That being said, the game optimizer menu feels like it belongs in your games and like it is a part of your gaming console. It’s just intuitive. Play Returnal, Astro Bot, Horizon, or GOW and you will be grinning from ear to ear.
At $1396 for the 65” inch variant, this is a no-brainer. Perhaps reviewers will suggest the Samsung S90D with a QD-OLED panel, but I will ask… would you sacrifice slightly enhanced color vibrancy for inferior image processing? The LG Alpha 9 gen 7 processor is pretty dang incredible. My previous TV was a Sony and I must say that LG has come a LONG way with their processing. It’s on par with Sony at this point. Samsung can’t say the same and at the end of the day, it’s the image quality that counts. The LG C4 has it. The LG G4 is alluring, but we’re reaching a point of diminishing returns. If slightly amped up HDR highlights are worth an extra $900, then you lost the value to performance game. This is TV most everybody should be looking at from a value to performance standpoint.
The OS is smooth, but I opted for an Apple TV interface and it has been nothing short of incredible. With Quick Media Switching, everything you connect to this TV will be buttery smooth. Everything you do on this TV will be incredibly immersive. I have no buyer’s remorse and am incredibly happy with my purchase.
You get 4 HDMI 2.1 inputs at 144hz if you’re a PC gamer. You get incredible SDR, HDR, and Dolby Vision/Atmos support. You can fine-tune settings on this TV by input setting or by viewing content medium until your heart is content. You get 5 years of OS updates. Tell me what there isn’t to like. Reviewers mention that off-angle viewing has a green tint, but this is overstated and I have not encountered it with my particular panel. So, I wouldn’t worry much about what they say. Get this TV, get a nice soundbar/surround setup, and get an Apple TV 4K and you will be enthralled, I promise.
