LG OLED evo G4 65" (2024) — Editorial Review
The G4 is LG's 2024 flagship gallery-series OLED, and the model most reviewers point to when asked for the year's reference-quality picture. Its defining upgrade is brightness: building on the Micro Lens Array panel tech of the G3, the G4 adds an enhanced MLA+ implementation that pushes light output meaningfully higher. In RTINGS' measurements the G4 reaches roughly 1,650 nits peak in a calibrated picture — a real step up from the G3 — with the per-pixel black levels and infinite contrast OLED is known for.

Reference brightness and color
FlatpanelsHD credits the MLA+ panel with the brightness gains that let the G4 hold highlights in bright rooms better than most OLEDs, while Tom's Guide highlights its excellent out-of-the-box color accuracy and top-tier gaming support — four HDMI 2.1 ports, 144Hz PC support, VRR, and very low input lag. In SuperSaf's hands-on review — featured above — the verdict tracks the written outlets': among the best TVs you can buy in 2024, with the G4's brightness leap the headline reason to choose it over a step-down OLED.
Gaming and smart platform
For console and PC players the G4 is close to ideal: all four HDMI ports run full 4K/120 (with 144Hz for PC), Dolby Vision gaming, and LG's low-latency game optimizer. The webOS smart platform is fast and well-stocked. The gallery design sits flush to the wall with the included flush mount — a genuine aesthetic differentiator versus the C-series.
Honest cons
- No ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) tuner. Tom's Guide notes the G4 omits the newer over-the-air broadcast tuner — a miss for cord-cutters who rely on antenna TV.
- HDMI 2.1 QMS quirk. Reviewers flag a persistent on-screen notification when Quick Media Switching activates — an unpolished software behavior LG hasn't resolved.
- Premium price for incremental gains. The brightness improvement over the G3 is real but incremental; buyers who don't need the absolute brightest OLED can save substantially with the C-series.
- Wall-mount-first design. The gallery mount is included but a tabletop stand is a separate purchase, unlike the C-series.
Where this TV fits
- Home-theater enthusiasts who want reference-grade OLED picture with the highest OLED brightness for HDR movies in mixed lighting.
- Serious gamers wanting four 4K/120 (144Hz PC) HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, and Dolby Vision gaming on one panel.
- Wall-mount installs where the flush gallery design is the aesthetic goal.
- Not antenna-dependent cord-cutters (no ATSC 3.0), or value buyers who'd be just as happy with the brighter-than-needed C-series for less.
