Beneath the LG C4’s familiar design and specs lie big performance upgrades to both picture and sound that, after last year’s lacklustre showing from the C3, put the C-series firmly back on top.
The C4 looks pretty much identical to the C3, which looked identical to the C2. Design stagnation is never really something to celebrate, but it’s worth remembering how groundbreaking the design of the C2 was – and that other brands still haven’t caught up.
Most of the chassis is exceptionally thin at around 0.5cm. LG has managed to squeeze all of the connections, speakers and processing hardware into an enclosure that is much more compact than that of rivals, making that exceptional thinness all the more stark and striking. At its thickest, the TV is still just 4.7cm, which is thinner than rivals such as the Philips OLED809 (11.1cm) and Panasonic Z90A (6.9cm).
More impressive, though, is how extraordinarily light it is for a large TV. The 65in model on test weighs just 16.6kg without the stand and 18.5kg with it, making the C4 much easier to handle during installation and far less of a strain on your wall and fixings if you choose to wall-mount. Despite this, the C4 still feels solid and well-made. The bundled pedestal stand is dainty, stylish and compact, and it allows the TV to stand on furniture that’s much narrower than the TV itself. The design of the stand doesn’t leave room for a typical soundbar, though.
