LG OLED evo C4 Smart TV (2024) (Refurbished) (Open Box)

Before going too far, this TV is amazing and you can't go wrong getting it. Thats's just the first impressions since it's only been a few days. I've always kept an eye on an LG C-series, along with G and the lesser B. The C5 is now out, so C4's are dropping in price. Compared to other options, it was finally time. I missed out on what was likely a price mistake months ago where the 77" appeared for the price of the 55". The price updated before purchase could be completed. The TV is large, but not all that heavy with the very thin panel on it. I can say I was unsure how to handle during setup it since it's so large and thin. I managed to get it out of the packaging, attach the stand and set it on it's new home by myself. The stand looks like it should require one more screw, but picture instructions didn't say so. There are two holes in the bottom and three in the back to attach the upright portion that then attaches to the TV, but only 4 screws for the job, two below and two in the back, then 4 others to attach the panel to the stand. Initial setup was pretty simple, and settings can always be revisited to make any changes. The picture requires a minor amount of adjustment for my liking. I hate true motion, so that's always the first to go along with most extra processing. Reds were heavily saturated, but easy enough to correct. There's options I may never get through, but they're there. The picture settings can change automatically by detected content, so may need adjustments again for each content type. I have experienced some issue with ARC staying connected with my receiver, but that may be on my hardware, not the TV. Cutting power to everything solves it for a time, usually. It is currently my biggest annoyance, but I'm still getting acquainted with the TV. The picture, the star of the show, it's what you buy this quality TV for and it delivers. The first time the screen went black during a cut scene, I wasn't sure if the TV was still on. Those typical demo videos on screen in the store that are elusive at home are not so with this set. Watching test videos from YouTube with high resolution and frame rate looked incredible. It really lights up a room with it's brightness not even at full power. It's a centerpiece of the room for sure. I'm sure I'll revisit this review in time, but for now, I'm loving this TV and glad we finally got one. Our last new TV is 15 years old, also an LG and has always looked great. I have high hopes for this one too.
