LG OLED evo C4 Series OLED77C4PUA 77"

The LG OLED evo C4 77-inch hits the 99th percentile for gaming with a 0.1ms response time and 120Hz panel, making it one of the fastest displays we've tracked. The 194W Dolby Atmos audio and four HDMI 2.1 ports are standout features. But the 36th percentile picture quality score is a letdown for an OLED at this price, so buy it for gaming, not critical movie watching.

The gaming numbers are the story here. A 0.1ms response time is effectively instant, and combined with the 120Hz refresh rate, FreeSync, G-Sync, and ALLM support, this panel is built for speed. The 91.3 gaming score puts it in the 99th percentile, which means it's beating nearly every other display we track. Four HDMI 2.1 ports mean you can plug in a PS5, Xbox Series X, gaming PC, and soundbar without swapping cables. That's a setup most TVs can't handle.

The a9 AI Processor Gen7 handles upscaling and motion processing, and the 100% color volume means colors stay accurate even in bright scenes. The 2.2 channel audio setup pushes 194W with Dolby Atmos support, which lands in the 97th percentile for audio. That's genuinely impressive for built-in TV speakers. But the picture quality score of 36th percentile is the elephant in the room. For a TV marketed around its OLED panel and infinite contrast, that's a disappointing showing in our metrics. The display itself ranks in the 97th percentile, so the panel is excellent, but something in our picture quality testing dragged the overall score down. If you're buying this for gaming, you won't care. If you're buying it for critical movie watching, you might.

Against the Samsung Neo QLED QN990F, the C4 wins on gaming response time and audio power, but Samsung's QLED panels typically push higher peak brightness, which matters in bright rooms. The Sony BRAVIA 8 K65XR80 is a smaller 65-inch panel but Sony's processing often delivers better picture quality scores in our database, which matters given the C4's 36th percentile showing. The TCL QM8K Series 75QM8K and Hisense U8 Series 100U8QG both offer larger or similarly sized panels at lower prices, though neither matches the C4's gaming response time or connectivity. The Roku Pro Series 55R8C5 is a different class entirely, smaller and cheaper, but its smart platform is more streamlined than webOS. If gaming is your priority, the C4 beats all of these. If picture quality per dollar is the goal, TCL and Hisense make a strong case.

The C4 77-inch runs between USD 1,696 and USD 1,976 across the two US listings we track. That USD 280 spread is worth paying attention to. The lower end of that range is a genuinely good deal for a 77-inch OLED with this gaming performance. The higher end starts to feel steep when you factor in the 36th percentile picture quality score. If you can snag it near the USD 1,696 mark, the price per inch and per gaming feature is hard to beat. At the top of the range, you're paying a premium for the LG name and the OLED panel without getting top-tier picture quality in return. Check both listings before you commit.

The LG OLED evo C4 77-inch lands in the 99th percentile for gaming and connectivity in our database, which puts it at the absolute top of the charts for anyone plugging in a console or PC. The 0.1ms response time and 120Hz panel are the headline numbers here, and they're backed by a 91.3 out of 100 gaming score that makes this one of the best gaming displays we've tracked. The a9 AI Processor Gen7 and 100% color volume round out a picture that's bright, fast, and ridiculously sharp at this size.

But the picture quality score sits at the 36th percentile, which is a weird spot for a TV this expensive. That's not a typo. The C4 excels at gaming, audio, and connectivity, but our picture quality metrics put it below average compared to everything else in the category. The 4.8 out of 5 customer rating across 825 reviews suggests real-world buyers are happy, but the numbers tell a more complicated story. This is a gaming beast first, a movie screen second.

Skip this if you're buying a TV primarily for movies and streaming. The 36th percentile picture quality score is below average for the category, and the 76th percentile HDR performance is underwhelming for an OLED at this price. You'd be paying for gaming features you won't use. Also skip it if you want something light and easy to mount. At 23.5kg, this is a heavy panel that needs a sturdy wall mount and probably a second person to lift. And if you're shopping on a strict budget, the USD 280 price spread means you need to hunt for the lower listing to make this a good deal.

The LG OLED evo C4 77-inch is a gaming display that happens to be a TV. The 99th percentile gaming score, 0.1ms response time, and four HDMI 2.1 ports make it the best option we've seen for console and PC gamers who want a big screen. The 4.8 out of 5 customer rating across 825 reviews backs that up. But the 36th percentile picture quality score is a real concern at this price. If you're buying primarily for movies and streaming, you can get better picture quality for less money elsewhere. If you're buying for gaming and want a 77-inch OLED with instant response and full VRR support, this is the one to beat.
