We've just reviewed the new LG C5, and as you'll know if you've already read our LG C5 review, it's a great TV.
It takes the C4's great performance and feature set and adds a little more brightness, crispness, and refinement. If the two TVs were the same price, it would be obvious to buy the newer C5.
But they're not the same price. The 55-inch LG C5 is still at its launch price of £1900, while the 55-inch LG C4 has just hit a record-low price of £900 at Amazon.
The C5 is maybe five per cent better than the C4, not £1000 better...
The two things I love most about the C4 are how easy it is to get it to deliver accurate, balanced picture quality and how incredible it is for gaming.
On the first point, you can put the TV into Filmmaker Mode and switch on the ambient light sensor and you'll get a really good picture with almost all content and in almost all kinds of ambient light. The TV will automatically switch to its 'best' Dolby Vision setting when you play appropriate content, too, so there's no extra effort needed there, either.
As for gaming, the C4 is close to unbeatable. All four of the HDMI inputs are 2.1-spec, and they all handle 4K/120Hz, VRR and ALLM. There's also a great HGiG mode that makes it a doddle to get the best out of HDR games, and Dolby Vision gaming is supported. More importantly, games look awesome and play super-smoothly.
The only downside to the C4 is that its sound is pretty poor, but that's a trait it shares with most TVs, including the C5. I heartily recommend using some of the money you're saving with this deal to add one of the best soundbars – many are currently available with big discounts.
