The LG OLED Evo G4: A Revolutionary TV Experience

LG has been making significant strides in the world of TVs, and their latest offering, the OLED Evo G4, is no exception. This impressive device boasts an AI-powered processor that takes picture quality to new heights. The AI picture Pro feature, for instance, handles AI super-upscaling to fine-tune resolution and detail, resulting in a more immersive viewing experience.

One of the standout features of the G4 is its AI Sound Pro, which creates virtual surround sound and dynamically controls audio depending on the content being watched. This AI-powered technology even uses voice mastering to make voices clearer in noisy scenes. Additionally, the TV comes equipped with AI director, which adjusts colors and contrast to bring out the best in each preset, resulting in smoother upscaling and more detailed images.

The G4's brightness booster Max is particularly impressive, especially when compared to its predecessors. The increased peak brightness allows for better Dynamic HDR, which results in more detail around highlights and a reduction in blur. This is not just a case of adjusting the sharpness setting, but rather a genuine improvement in image quality. Moreover, the TV's ability to detect the type of content being watched and adjust settings accordingly makes it an ideal choice for gamers.

Gamers will particularly appreciate the G4's low response times, its support for 4K at 120Hz refresh rates with VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), and its game dashboard. This feature provides easy access to gaming picture profiles, VRR refresh rates, Dynamic tone mapping for HDR, and more. The TV even supports streaming games through LG's G4ce app.

The G4 also comes equipped with an AI chatbot, which can be incredibly helpful for users who may not be tech-savvy. This feature resolves inquiries and offers tips on finding settings and options. Additionally, the Magic Remote is a game-changer, featuring a small magic pointer that makes navigation a breeze. The voice input button brings up the AI conge, which offers personalized recommendations for what to watch and can even answer user questions.

One of the standout features of the G4's webOS 24 interface is its ability to personalize the viewing experience based on user preferences. With LG's Renew program, owners receive four years of future updates, with five years of support extending beyond that. This means users will have access to new features and improvements for a significant amount of time.

The TV also comes with a range of safety features designed to protect the screen from damage caused by prolonged use or misuse. While it's true that OLED panels can be susceptible to image retention, LG's OLED Care Plus program offers five years of warranty on the panel, providing users with peace of mind.

In conclusion, the LG OLED Evo G4 is an absolute powerhouse of a TV. With its AI-powered processor, advanced audio features, and impressive display quality, it's an ideal choice for anyone looking to upgrade their viewing experience. Whether you're a gamer or just someone who wants to enjoy high-quality content in comfort, this TV has something to offer.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys I'm Tom Tech Chap and have a look at this it's the brand new LG OLED Evo G4 I've got the 65 in model W mounted here and it is very nice but it's also 11 years of LG's hard work and research culminating in this guy they've been making them for 11 years now the question is what's new is it any good of course it is but also is it much different from the G3 can you really see the difference well I have both TVs with me let's have a look and a big thank you to LG for sending this G4 out for me to have a play with and also sponsoring this video so for this year it's all about the new brightness booster Max which promises up to 150% higher Peak brightness we also have the much faster Alpha 11 AI processor which brings sharper detail and better upscaling as well as tons of AI picture audio and UI enhancements there's also a new 144 HZ mode with vrr for high refresh PC gaming we have a very helpful AI chat bot for tips and troubleshooting and AI con to help you decide what to watch we get 5 years of guaranteed web OS updates and it's all wrapped up nicely in this one wall design we've got the no Gap wall mount and you can see how flush this is to my wall it really is nice you can use a regular Visa Mount if you want to and I have uh from my own experience seen that you can mount it on previous generations of the G Series mounts as well so that was very helpful I could just pop it back on because I had the G3 on here before what is new also for this year though is on the 55 and the 65 you can buy this with a table stand but I reckon you really you do want to wall mount the G4 it looks so nice but as you can see no cables here because I've actually drilled into the wall hidden the cables behind it so it looks a bit like it's kind of floating as for the ports we have four full bandwidth HDMI 21s all with 4K 144 HZ and vrr plus one of them supports EC so you'll want to connect your Soundbar or audio receiver to that one and there's three USB Ethernet optical cable antenna inputs and an IR blaster connector plus there's the ual G Series cutouts and clips for neat cable routing so the rear can sit flush with your wall and speaking of your wall we do get this wall mounting positioning guide which is very helpful and then it's just a case of installing the wall plugs and Tanning the screws drop the TV on and Away you go now this fold flat bracket does actually extend a fairway from the wall so you got plenty of room for attaching the TV and cables and then just gently push the edges and there's virtually no Gap against the wall it really does look good and together with these incredibly slim bezels which were reduced on last GS G3 it really is a smart looking TV and one of my favorite upgrades from last GS G3 is the anti-glare coating it's returned here for the G4 and it really is one of the best TVs for reducing background lights and Reflections it makes a heck of a difference and it really does allow the sort of deep dark Inky blacks you get with the olol panel to sort of stand out so big fan of that and it's back here for the G4 the built-in speakers are decent enough but I would probably suggest a separate audio system to really give you that full theater experience and if you do fancy an all wallmounted system then check out the LG soundbar usg1 Ty which shares the same zero Gap design LG's wow interface lets you control your Sandbar from your TV like changing modes and profiles and it can all work wirelessly via wow cast and also wow Orchestra lets the Soundbar and the TV speakers work intelligently together so you get an expanded Sound Stage with richer Fuller sound now if you've used an lgtv from the past few years this will all feel V familiar and the setup is nice and straightforward this is running LG's latest web OS 24 software and it's just a case of choosing which apps you like to download and then probably turning on AI picture Pro and AI Sound Pro modes in the general settings although I'll come back to this in a second and while you're there I might also suggest turning off the energy saving option to unlock the full brightness of the TV now as you would expect the image quality in this thing is just incredible and even just straight out the box it looks really really good you don't have to do anything there are lots of picture modes to choose from we'll talk about that a second but obviously the one of the key selling points of this is being an OLED TV self lit pixels all 8 million of them can turn themselves on and off so blacks look pure black and there's no blooming or light bleed from brighter areas and as OLED can display So Many Colors they're bright and saturated but still accurate so last year's G3 already got pretty bright but now with the G4 we get brightness booster Max which is LG's own light control architecture and this brings up to 70% higher full screen brightness and up to a whopping 150% higher Peak brightness so we're talking smaller highlights like clouds and Reflections and bursts of bright light so it can really make the screen just pop that a little bit more but as a whole the screen is also notably brighter than the G3 but as I say it's particularly those sort of small elements and the best bit if you have a bigger house and a big enough wall to put it on the 83 in version now gets the brightness booster Max Tech whereas last year that topped out at the 77 so that is very good news if you are eyeing one of these fancy TVs but in the biggest sizes although the 997 still doesn't get it the G4 also gets a new professional mode under the dynamic toe mapping option which gives you full brightness control for HDR content by using AI to dynamically adjust the tone mapping if all that goes over your head don't worry you don't have to use it this is more for professionals now I mentioned LG's been making Ola TVs for 11 years but they've also been making the processors the chips that have been powering these and all the features including the AI upscaling now this year with the G4 we have their brand spanking new alha 11 AI processor which does far too much stuff for me to list in this video but one of the key things is AI picture Pro which handles the AI super upscaling to fine-tune the resolution and the detail and alongside AI director which dynamically controls colors and contrast to make the most of each preset and you can see more detail and smoother upscaling with it turned on and it's a similar story with the AI Sound Pro which creates virtual surround sound and it's smart enough to dynamically control your sound depending on what you're watching and even uses AI to make voices clearer in noisy scenes via their voice mastering hang in there fellas almost there so this does look very good but I mentioned earlier I also still have my G3 so let's do a little side by side see if you can see the difference now obviously both look great but straight away you can see the brightness booster Max on the G4 is doing its job so this is in Vivid mode which I probably wouldn't use every day but you can see while it's brighter overall it's especially so with highlights like Reflections and lights sources and it's not a small difference either which is amazing given the G3 was already far brighter than the G2 and even the C3 and so it also means that we get better Dynamic HDR as the high peak brightness allows it to be more detail around highlights we're also seeing more detail in textures and a little bit less blur and this isn't just a case of opping the sharpness in the settings as there's no extra image noise here it's very impressive stuff now I tend to stick to the expert bright modes along with cinemo and filmmaker but helpfully the TV will put you in the best picture mode based on what you're watching and for all the gamers out there this G4 is basically Untouchable we have super low response times we have that new4 HZ refresh with vrr which is great if you have a well very powerful PC that can hit 144 FPS at 4K or of course up to 120 HZ for consoles if the game supports it firing up your Xbox or your PlayStation it will automatically go into game mode to reduce all the background processing and give you the lowest response times and we get the game dashboard along with the more detailed game Optimizer which gives gives you access to gaming picture profiles vrr refresh rates Dynamic tone mapping for HDR and a whole lot more although don't forget you can also download apps like g4ce now to stream your games so this is the home screen what you'll see when you fire up your G4 uh it's running web OS 24 and as I mentioned earlier because of their renew program uh they actually give you four years of future updates it's five years of support but four years beyond what we have here and it introduces a lot of new features including uh the AI chatbot which is actually really helpful I know my mom would get a lot of use out of that because she's not that techy and actually sometimes she just doesn't know where to find a particular setting or motor option select your inquiries and I will resolve them using the AI chat Bots actually really quite helpful just for just troubleshooting and coming up with uh tips on where to find things uh but also you'll see that I'm using the Magic Remote we've got the little magic pointer there also hitting the voice input button brings up this new AI conge which offers tips and recommendations for what you might want to watch and as it's an AI you can ask it question we also have a personalized picture wizard which lets you pick the style of image you prefer and then the Deep learning engine creates a custom picture preset just for you anyone buying an OLED TV does of course have burning on their mind it's reasonable and if you do abuse the TV you turn off all the safety features and you leave the same screen on 24 hours a day for weeks on end then maybe you can uh you know see a bit of screen image retention but I've never had any issues with LG oleds there's tons of safety features built in so you really don't have to worry but LG through the OLED Care Plus program do offer 5 years of warranty with the panel so that is the new LG OLED Evo G4 if you've got any questions at all drop a comment below and if you fancy checking it out and maybe buying one for yourself then I will leave a link in the description and it is an absolutely fantastic TV but what do you make of it let me know in the comments below thank you so much for watching I'll see you next time right here on the tech chathey guys I'm Tom Tech Chap and have a look at this it's the brand new LG OLED Evo G4 I've got the 65 in model W mounted here and it is very nice but
