The LG C4 OLED is an across-the-board upgrade over the older LG C9 OLED. The C4 gets noticeably brighter in both SDR and HDR and keeps that punch even on full-screen bright scenes, so glare and daytime viewing are easier to deal with, and highlights pop more. It also adds 4k @ 144Hz support, lower input lag, and the latest Game Optimizer features, giving competitive gamers smoother motion and quicker response. Picture quality otherwise stays familiar—perfect blacks, wide viewing angles, and Dolby Vision on every HDMI 2.1 port—but the C9's dimmer screen and 120Hz ceiling now feel dated. Unless you find the C9 at a steep discount, the C4 is the smarter buy.
