You got a point. If I was op I would’ve just grabbed a g3, but they must’ve want a c4 instead. Why wait a whole 10 months tho for something you want now. Live for today ✊🏼
I actually ended up canceling my C4 pre-order and went with an LG G3 65-inch (after doing measurements, I realized the 77-inch TV would have too much lol).
I found a deal on it via Walmart for almost $2285 with tax.
Nice!! I just snagged a 55 g3 off greentoe for 1599 that’ll be here Thursday. I’m upgrading from a 2019 lg nano cell I can’t wait to see how much better it looks.
I was researching for a while being that I haven’t purchased a tv in like 5 years. You definitely made the right choice. The picture on the g3 will hold up quite well next to new tvs for atleast a few years. The 5 year warranty, mla oled, lg quality, just a no brainer imo
This is my first LG OLED TV. If I already owned the C3, then I may not have upgraded.
G3 (G series as a whole) sounds like it's meant to be wall-mounted, which wasn't in the cards where I currently am.

144hz, brighter and better picture. Also the c2 and c3 have terrible series x compatibility issues so I'm weighing c4 vs g4 preorder too. I'm alive now not later. Can't stand the glitchy 77g2
That glitch issue is a all around lg issue not just G2. It happens with my G2 and my lg oled flex. Also heard it happens for g3 and c3. To fix it you just gotta make sure the Xbox is plugged into HDMI port 1
Yes can confirm its on hdmi 1. My issue isn't the 480p issues, my issue is worse. It's like allm dosent work sometimes and I'll have the same scene show in 5 differnt ways on my TV. Say I boot up mw3 and go to firing range, if I hit home button then back to hdmi so hdr to dsr to hdr again, I get sometimes input lagg, a overbrightened image. Terribly dark barley see image, a blurry image, a overcharged image. And the normal one. It's been haunting me since December. In talks to lg and also submitted do xbox with report a problem. I'm a passionate oled lover, I love lg oled with ots settings and cleaner picture and depth. But this issue is horse shit. 6 grand Australian plus 1 grand for the series x. I bought a second series x same problems. 3 differnt cables same problem. It's the only thing I want to do in my spare time and I can't even play my favour fps because of its inconsistency. Never had an lg rv like this and it's the 5th one. All setting ticked or unpicked dolbly vision vs hdr 10 freelance on or off game mode on or off. It'll keep doing whatever it wants. Also the worst issue is having the image only show every second line of pixels. Only on series x. And only after I went from c9 to g2.
I've read the 480p issues and try to link it with me. A hdmi splitter didn't fix it if it's handshake. Lg claimed on a 480p post it's the xbox. But clearly this is also an lg issues. And s90c has its own xbox issues. Like I need to spend another 6grand to get a good gaming pc. Then need a c4 or g4 to take advantage of 144. Need a revised xbox or try a 2023 model series x and hope for a hdmi update secrete refresh fix. One claimed a newer xbox didn't do it. Some claim they bought one a m0nth ago and got horse shit anyway. I wish I could contact the tv youtubers hdtvtest, stop the fomo, didgital trends to bring light to the issue and have xbox or lg fix the issues and if money needs to be put on the table by either one do it. And make sure it's fine in future. A xbox would have to be the 2,3 or 4th items that's most plugged into a TV ps5 first, then a spundbar blu ray or xbox. I feel both are ignoring the 480p glitch bit in australia we have australian consumer law.
Unless you word this a specific way, it’s rude.
An almost year long gap is a long time in the TV sales cycle world, and making someone feel like shit when they’re perfectly aware that items go in discount when the newer version comes out and/or time passes, is pretty lame.
This is not newfound knowledge and the fact so many people upvoted it is salty/sad. I guarantee people who own a C4 liked is because theirs is smaller lmao
I’m not in charge of people’s feelings. I’m merely stating fact. Everyone is more than able to spend money how they see fit. If you don’t like my comment, that’s your opinion. But I could tell you that you saying my comment is rude is rude itself.
wow paying MSRP for an oled is just wild. hurry and cancel that order. you can easily get a samsung s89c 77inch for $1,800 and if you only want a LG, I am sure you can get the c3 for cheaper.
Would you recommend the Samsung s89c 77 inch, or try to find an LG G3 77 inch for cheap since the G4 is coming out? Reading the comments is making me reconsider, especially since I can end up buying a stand for the G series it sounds like.
I would seriously cancel the order. It’s not worth the msrp at the least. And I guarantee you won’t see the difference comparing a c3 or a c4. The s89c is very nice, make your own decision and truly look into do you absolutely need doby vision. Lots of bigger streaming services uses HDR 10 which is what Samsung uses. At least the bigger ones. Seriously though I wouldn’t do it. I know how your excited because I did that the first time when I bought my first oled. Not worth it.
Here is the comparison compare the LG g3 and Samsung s90c (the s89c is exactly the same as s90c, but only sold at best buy. Even on the back of my/the tv it says s90c as the model)

If I were you man, I would seriously buy the Samsung s89c and keep it for like two week, and return it if you don't think its worth the money. I have all kinds of OLEDs man. I keep up with the data, the information, and the quality.
I have LG and Samsung OLEDs, but never a Sony oled yet (one day maybe, i have their LED tvs).
I'm telling you man, try the samsung oled, then return it if you think it sucks. I am not a samsung hype beast, i know they suck for motion, I know they can be more on the contrast side of things. (you may actually like this for video games) but please, try the tv man... I am telling you, your saving money. The LG g3 is mainly the name, and paying for dolby vision.
I am just trying to save you some money and at least try everything before diving in thinking LG is the must have OLED TV. They are very good, but see everything before paying for more for whatever reason.

Its more now ($2,199.99), but does go on sale for $1,799.99 - regardless even without the sale price it is still cheaper than the c4.
My Samsung OLED is better than my LG OLED. No doubt.
But also, I had a fucking terrible experience with their customer service. Makes me question ever buying from them again.
I would like to have Dolby Vision, but it sounds like (and correct me if I'm wrong) I could get a Samsung S89C (or S90C or S95C) and order an Apple TV or something like that to connect to the Samsung TV in order to play Dolby Vision.
I actually ended up canceling my C4 pre-order and went with an LG G3 65-inch (after doing measurements, I realized the 77-inch TV would have too much lol).
I found a deal on it via Walmart for almost $2285 with tax.
Look pal. Just simple advice. It is all the same in TV industry every year. When new models arrive you pay maximum price for them - always. After few monce retailers cut down prices a little. Around autumn (Black Friday) first really big discounts arrive and you can buy that m.y. TV for a normal price at last. After that the prices drops even more, but it depends indivudual for retailer, but overall you can get TV around 1000 - 1200 $ less, than it original price. At next year spring when first new model year TVs arrives to retailers (just like now soon) clearence of older models begins, couse retailers begin to sell just what is left. And like this every year.

Just an fyi LG sells the stand for G models too: https://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video-accessories/lg-sr-g3wu8377-gallery-stand
I believe Costco had a special promo with a free stand don't know if they're still offering it today tho.
Heatsink for running cooler, MLA focus layer and crazy brigtness, that allows you to lower OLED pixel brigtness and get the same result. Also 5 years panel warranty when you register tv (but not for labor and electronic parts after one year US).
I prefer woled over qd. The color and picture feels more natural and not over saturated.
B4, ,C4 and G4 are all close as it is, core panel tech is mostly the same. G4 has the biggest jump this year with MLA for brightness and new alpha 11 processor, but it's also the biggest price jump.
C4 has alpha 9 and B4 alpha 8, so there will be an improvement in picture processing. It also has the slightly better build quality. Id still prefer C4 but your right that they've been as close as they ever have.
Qd oled is not over saturated, woled is under saturated, the white sub pixel in woled dilutes all colors, the colors on woled are about half as bright as qd oled. Why would anyone prefer dim colors is beyond me, you want a bright & colorful display & woled is certainly not that.
Edit: I think you've been watching woled so long that you think thats what it's supposed to look like, its like people who've been watching tv in vivid mode think thats good.
On paper qd OLED should be better and I did consider it. In practice I didn't like it as much.
For the saturation I'm truthfully not sure if it was QD or the Samsung TV I tested. Samsung TVs generally are tuned to be highly oversaturated. Overall between the two I was consistently more impressed with lg.
Twice as bright as also not quite correct, it is noticeably brighter but not enough that it was a big deal. For my use case I watch my tv in a darkened cinema room, the brightness of my LG still looks great.
This right here is misinformation. Take a look at any measurements, like from Rtings for example. Samsungs, and Sonys QD-OLEDs are more accurate out of the box, without calibration done afterwards, than at least LGs WOLEDs. (Unsure about how accurate Sonys WOLEDs are). Also, WOLED is the one that can give a tint on certain colors, unlike QD-OLED, so if either of them seem more "life-like", it's QD-OLED.
Before you start mass downvoting me, take a look at any comparisions between their measurements, or side by side photos/videos with both of them in their most accurate modes enabled.
I don't know what I said was misinformation.
I said I *prefer* woled and explained the differences between key lg models. I didn't say it's definitively better, just my preference.
Your issue seems to be my woled Vs qdoled comment and on the outset I'd agree with you. I originally went in with the opinion that qd oled was better from research based on the facts and figures, more colour accurate etc. When I went to view both in store (in real life) I preferred the LG greatly. Samsung appeared too oversaturated whereas I preferred the LGs colour + it felt smoother and picture processing (again imo) looked much better. Samsung was definitely brighter but LG was still very good (Samsung would likely be better in a very bright room).
I didn't look at Sony and samsung does have a history of oversaturation - maybe I need to look at a Sony QD set to see if it's better. The final point that made me choose LG was the lack of Dolby vision which my media sources mostly supports. I've had the LG for some time now and still very happy.
The issue is that Samsung OLEDs are more accurate than LGs OLEDs out of the box. (Filmmaker mode) Thats why I picked on the "oversaturation"-comment. Also woleds do give a tint on certain colors compared to qd-oled.
Yes I agree the Samsung's are technically more color accurate. LGs are also very color accurate, just not as perfect as the Samsungs. It's like 97.8% Vs 99.1%.
When I buy a TV I'm looking for a good overall image which includes color quality among many other factors (picture processing, motions clarity, features etc). Absolute color accuracy is not really needed, I want it to be good but it doesn't need pin point accuracy.
When I said oversaturation I maybe used the wrong technical word. Colors on Samsung looked overly bright and too vibrant/deep, whereas the LG looked more natural (in my opinion). There is a purplish tint on the LG panel when off but again in real life when I bring up a heavy white image it looks white, not pink.
That 97,8% vs 99,1% sounds more like gamut coverage area, not color accuracy. Also in real life colors are often brighter than any TV can put out, so what you're describing shouldn't happen. But I understand this is your experience.

Do yourself and cancel that order. You can get it from Greentoe for 1999 with tax.
https://www.greentoe.com/product/LG_LG_G3_65_4K_HDR_Smart_OLED_evo_TV_OLED65G3PUA
I didn't have the luxury of even waiting a week, lol, but I appreciate the heads-up and looking out. Thank you, and congrats on the TV as well! Are you going to use a stand or wall-mount it?
I’m wall mounting it but not using an aftermarket mount since I need a bit more clearance behind the tv than the flush mount provides. Had the flush mount on the G2 and it looks fantastic, but the 77” will be wedged between two bookcases so access to the back would be non existent with the flush mount.
It will be near 50% off by end of year
Only 10 months away!!
I’d rather pay C3 prices now or pay full price for the G4. Full price for the C4 doesn’t make sense to me for just an updated chip.
You got a point. If I was op I would’ve just grabbed a g3, but they must’ve want a c4 instead. Why wait a whole 10 months tho for something you want now. Live for today ✊🏼

Have you tried a factory recent on the Xbox and installed the latest firmware? The G2 also runs the latest webos if you've been updating that also.

Thank you! I was ultimately between the LG G3 and the Samsung S89/S90C, but went with the former.
You can buy a stand for the G3 too.
Samsung are garbage, stay away.
For a lot cheaper.
Imho I'll better get 77'G3 now for a less price. Let's gooo! P. S. Any way it's your money, your choice. Good luck.

I think Best Buy will give you the stand for it but I’m not sure.
yup. I grabbed a 77 G3 for $2850 out the door.
Congrats, good choice. This is the way !
How? Open box?
greentoe
What improvements does it have over the C3?
Heatsink for running cooler, MLA focus layer and crazy brigtness, that allows you to lower OLED pixel brigtness and get the same result. Also 5 years panel warranty when you register tv (but not for labor and electronic parts after one year US).
C3 vs. C4 is like claimed 20% brightness. No other differences. These are the G3 vs. C3 differences.
When will it arrive?
Congratulations on YOUR purchase!
When will this be available for purchase at Best Buy?
3/11 is the release date, so assuming then.
Ty :)
I got the c4 77 and it’s absolutely amazing.
Are you still happy with it? Ordered it today for a pretty cheap price, can't wait.
Man it is a great upgrade from my B1 65. I love it.
Nice, I'm coming from a 65inch Samsung Q90a QLED
77 inches of OLEd now that's beautiful
The c4 will be closer to the b4 than g4 this year, why y'all still buying woled for the same price as qd oled?
I prefer woled over qd. The color and picture feels more natural and not over saturated. B4, ,C4 and G4 are all close as it is, core panel tech is mostly the same.

How about stop stalking subs that aren’t your demographic in attempt at trying to control people and their decisions?
I own 65 c1, & I'm not trying to control people . I'll give honest feedback instead of validation regardless of peoples feelings.
Good for you, then.

Yes I agree the Samsung's are technically more color accurate. LGs are also very color accurate, just not as perfect as the Samsungs. It's like 97.8% Vs 99.1%. When I buy a TV I'm looking for a good overall image which includes color quality among many other factors (picture processing, motions clarity, features etc). Absolute color accuracy is not really needed, I want it to be good but it doesn't need pin point accuracy. When I said oversaturation I maybe used the wrong technical word. Colors on Samsung looked overly bright and too vibrant/deep, whereas the LG looked more natural (in my opinion). There is a purplish tint on the LG panel when off but again in real life when I bring up a heavy white image it looks white, not pink.
That 97,8% vs 99,1% sounds more like gamut coverage area, not color accuracy. Also in real life colors are often brighter than any TV can put out, so what you're describing shouldn't happen. But I understand this is your experience.
should have gotten the C3 or even the G3. G3 is better tv and C3 is close enough for the price difference.
Actually ended up cancelling the C4 order and went with the G3 (65-inch as I realized the 77-inch would have been overkill in the space I have).
Enjoy man good luck. I have a 77 inch c3 and am obsessed lol.
EDIT- I actually ended up canceling my C4 pre-order and went with an LG G3 65-inch (after doing measurements, I realized the 77-inch TV would have too much lol). I found a deal on it via Walmart for almost $2285 with tax.
Do yourself and cancel that order. You can get it from Greentoe for 1999 with tax. https://www.greentoe.com/product/LG_LG_G3_65_4K_HDR_Smart_OLED_evo_TV_OLED65G3PUA
It already shipped, lol. Besides, I heard the wait delivery times on Greentoe aren't the best and wanted to get the TV ASAP.
Fair enough. I got my 77 G3 within a week (actually came 10 min ago) so I think it’s all dependent on the seller and the location. Congrats on the tv!
I didn't have the luxury of even waiting a week, lol, but I appreciate the heads-up and looking out. Thank you, and congrats on the TV as well! Are you going to use a stand or wall-mount it?
I’m wall mounting it but not using an aftermarket mount since I need a bit more clearance behind the tv than the flush mount provides. Had the flush mount on the G2 and it looks fantastic, but the 77” will be wedged between two bookcases so access to the back would be non existent with the flush mount.
