Overview
['The LG G4 sits above the C4 in LG lineup, using a brighter WOLED evo panel with a micro-lens array that squeezes more light out of the OLED substrate. In a 55-inch footprint, this produces vivid highlights and accurate color in a set that is more manageable than the 65-inch and 77-inch versions reviewed elsewhere in this lineup. It is priced accordingly at $1,417.', "Connectivity is comprehensive: Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI, USB, and Wi-Fi cover every common hookup scenario. WebOS is LG's proven smart platform, and at 4 star.5 from 255 reviews this is one of the better-received and better-documented OLED TVs in this roundup. The set weighs 49.6 pounds and measures 48.11 by 27.68 inches, a size that works well on a stand or wall mount in a medium-sized room.", 'The G4 is designed to sit flush against the wall when gallery-mounted (a separate wall mount bracket is required, sold separately). For viewers who primarily use a stand, the standard feet are included. The 4.5-star average from 255 buyers reflects strong satisfaction, with most reviewers noting picture quality and ease of use as highlights.']

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the LG G4 and the LG C4?
The G4 uses a brighter WOLED evo panel with a micro-lens array (MLA) that increases light output significantly compared to the C4. The C4 also has a very capable WOLED evo panel but without MLA. In a dark room the difference is subtle; in a brighter room, the G4 handles ambient light better. The G4 is also designed for flush wall mounting, giving it a cleaner aesthetic when gallery-mounted.
Does the LG G4 work well for gaming at this screen size?
Yes. LG OLED TVs include Game Optimizer mode, which reduces input lag to very low levels. The 55-inch screen size is practical as both a living-room TV and a close-range gaming display. Confirm the refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 port availability on this specific unit to ensure compatibility with your console or PC at high frame rates.
Can I contact RalTV for help choosing between the G4 and C4?
Yes, reach out to hello@raltv.com with your room size, primary use case, and budget. For most buyers in a moderate living room, the C4 delivers excellent OLED performance at a lower price. If you are in a bright room or want the gallery wall-mounting aesthetic, the G4 is worth the upgrade cost.
