I just got an in-depth look at LG’s best 2024 TVs, and I have good news, better news, and one pleasant surprise that I think is going to make some of you very happy. Contents I visited LG at its U.S.

headquarters in New Jersey to get a closer look at and more details on some of its most exciting products for 2024. I did a pretty deep dive on the LG G4 OLED, caught just a glimpse of the C4 OLED, was smacked upside the head by the flagship 4K QNED mini-LED TV, and had a one-on-one conversation with the head of LG’s webOS team and – well, let’s just say I may make a webOS fan out of some of you by the end of this article.

But the best news about the new G4 is not new record-breaking brightness numbers. I know we like to get excited about that kind of thing – we’ve been conditioned to it as we’ve spent the last few years waiting for OLEDs to get bright enough to look great in bright rooms as well as dark rooms. But we’ve already achieved that milestone. The G3 was the big revolution we were waiting for when it came to brightness.

The next improvement I saw was that, on the three samples I viewed, color shifting was improved. It used to be you could see magenta rings in large white areas. I didn’t see that this time. As for panel banding – well, I saw a tiny bit of it on the 83-inch model I viewed, but overall, the panels looked pretty clean.

Finally, there is the posterization – or noisy blockiness – that we’d see when the G3 came out of black. Think of a scene that fades in from black – that’s where it would be most obvious. That is still a thing that’s happening, but I think it isn’t something most viewers are likely to notice. This needs deeper testing, so that’s high on the list for my review once I receive one, which, I understand, should be very soon.

Set in the lowest position, the TV will show all the detail there is to be seen in these bright highlight areas, but at the expense of brightness intensity. As for Doby Vision HDR content, the G4, along with at least the C4, now sports a Dolby Vision Filmmaker mode, which is the easiest way to get the Dolby Vision experience as the creator intended it to be. No motion smoothing, no over-brightening, just a one-click option for picture purists.

OK, I’m about to get into something about LG’s webOS that I think some of you will be interested in hearing. But before I do, I have to mention that the LG QNED90 — the company’s flagship 4K mini-LED TV — iloked pretty great. I’m getting one in for review, no doubt. I don’t want to predict it could be a sleeper hit just yet, but … it looked really good. Just sayin’.
