Gorgeous 4K OLED picture and then some
LG keeps up their streak of crowd-pleasing OLED TVs with this year's C4 Series. It offers a gorgeous, high-contrast picture with deep black levels, backed up by "evo" panel technology for even richer, more accurate colors. Built-in Amazon Alexa voice control and a breezy interface make watching TV easy.
AI processing and Dolby Vision®
This TV's already-stunning picture is analyzed and improved by LG's next-gen Alpha 9 Gen 7 AI processor. It automatically detects key parts of an image, like human faces, and uses deep-learning algorithms to give them a boost in brightness and detail.
The C4 also features dynamic, intelligent tone-mapping for HDR-encoded content, improving contrast and color for additional detail and depth. And it supports one of the most sophisticated HDR formats currently available, Dolby Vision, which optimizes your picture on a scene-by-scene basis for maximum impact.
Gamer's delight
The near-infinite contrast and incredible detail of an OLED panel is already a huge boon for gamers, but the C4 goes even further. Input lag down to an imperceptible 0.1 millisecond and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) ensure your games stay responsive at all times. Support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) keeps your picture smooth by preventing disruptive screen tearing. And 4K/120Hz and 4K/144Hz screen refresh options let you experience maximum picture quality with next-gen consoles and high-end PC gaming rigs.
If that wasn't enough, LG includes support for cloud gaming with Nvidia GeForce NOW and Utomik built right into the TV (requires separate subscription and game controllers).
