When you refresh a product range each and every year, as pretty much all television manufacturers have for the past decade and more, it is quite difficult to make massive improvements from one iteration to the next. Which is why we weren't massively surprised, when we reviewed LG's C3 range of TVs in 2023, that they didn't take things on greatly from the impressive C2 model that preceded it.

Disappointed, perhaps; but not surprised.

This year, though, with the introduction of 2024's C4 range of sets, things have moved on considerably - so much so that the range is right back up at the top of the tree as far as OLED sets go.

The most obvious improvements that are visible right off the bat are to brightness and picture sharpness, which take things on to a whole new level, without making the image too garish and unrealistic.

Sound quality has also improved - but that's an irrelevance for our purposes here; it's the picture in all its glory that merits the C4's place in this set-up.

And that's not only when streaming or showing a Blu-ray in 4K either. This LG is also a belter of a set to play next-gen games on. It sports four HDMI 2.1 sockets with support for all the important gaming features. And, while the C3 was equally well equipped for gaming, the general picture improvements that come with the C4 make a noticeable difference to take it a step above its predecessor when playing Call Of Duty or EA Sports FC 24.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe

There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
