Compare LG with Samsung, Sony and other brands.
OLED, QNED or NanoCell
| Screen | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| OLED | Each pixel emits its own light, so black is truly black | Films in a darker room and gaming |
| QNED | LCD screen with LED backlight, some models with Mini LED and local dimming | A bright room and large sizes |
| NanoCell | LCD screen with LED backlight and a nanoparticle colour filter | Everyday TV |
| 4K UHD | A standard 4K LCD screen | A good-value choice |
Size and viewing distance
| Distance to the screen | Recommended size (4K) |
|---|---|
| about 1.7 m | about 55 inches |
| about 2 m | about 65 inches |
| about 2.3 m | about 75 inches |
For a 4K TV the recommended viewing distance is about 1-1.5 times the screen diagonal (What Hi-Fi?). For a smaller room or a kitchen, 32-43 inch models fit well. For better sound you can add a soundbar.
For gaming
For the LG OLED evo C series LG states up to 144 Hz, four HDMI 2.1 inputs, VRR, NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. Specifications vary by series and year, so check the exact model.
