Here’s everything we know so far about the follow up to the LG C3, and what else we anticipate
The LG C3 is one of our best OLED TVs of 2023. It had a tough act to follow, since the LG C2 was our top TV pick of 2022, but it generally delivered. With new HDR-improving picture processing, a nice aesthetic, a smart TV interface overhaul, and a wealth of features to appeal to both gamers and movie fans, it was a fantastic TV… though it did lose out on our TV of the Year Award to its direct rival, the Samsung S90C.
The big question now is, how will the new LG C4 compare, and what upgrades will it bring? Right now we know very little about the upcoming C4 OLED TV, but there have been some leaks about its specs that seem very plausible, and we can speculate about what’s likely, of course.
We’re bound to learn more about LG’s 2024 TVs in a few weeks at CES 2024. LG has already received 12 Innovation Awards from the Consumer Technology Association the organization behind CES – for its OLED TVs, which is good news for the LG C4. Naturally, we’ll update this article with the real info when it arrives in January.LG C4: Possible release date and pricing
With no official release date or pricing from LG yet, we can only make assumptions based on the LG C3.
With that in mind, the 2023 OLED TV was released in March 2023 after being announced at CES in January 2023, and it was the same story with the LG C2 the year before… and the LG C1 the year before that. That means we can expect the LG C4 to follow a similar pattern and be with us in around March 2024.
LG’s C-series TVs are the company’s mid-tier 4K OLED TV model, slotting in between the flagship G-series and entry-level B-series. The US and UK pricing for the LG C3 looked like this:
OLED83C3: $5,299 / £6,499 / around AU$7,900
OLED77C3: $3,599 / £3,999 / around AU$5,370
OLED65C3: $2,600 / £2,899 / around AU$3,900
OLED55C3: $1,899 / £2,099 / around AU$2,830
OLED48C3 $1,499 / £1,599 / around AU$2,240
OLED42C3: $1,399 / £1,499 / around AU$2,100
We know that OLED is expensive and analysts have been saying that LG really needs to reduce the price of its TVs to compete. Then again, there’s no getting around the fact OLED tech is pricey to make, which means we wouldn’t be surprised if the price of the LG C4 is the same as the list above in 2024, or if there’s a slight price increase on the OLED TV to keep pace with inflation.LG C4: Rumors and leaks
Details about what to expect from the LG C4, as well as what to expect from LG’s 2024 TV line-up more generally, have been sparse.
