Which units this covers, and how to tell yours is one of them
Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Panel
- 2024 OLED evo with a Micro Lens Array (MLA) panel and the Alpha 11 AI Processor — one of LG's brightest 2024 OLEDs, well above the C4 and B4. Self-emissive, so a bright-window dim is the Auto Brightness Limiter, not backlight bloom.
- Smart platform
- webOS 24 with the Magic Remote; updates at Settings › Support › Software Update, screen share via AirPlay 2 and Miracast. LG guarantees several years of webOS Re:New feature updates on this generation.
- Gaming / HDMI
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports up to 144 Hz with VRR, ALLM, G-Sync and FreeSync. Requires Game Optimizer on and a 48 Gbps cable to leave 60 Hz.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the LG G4 OLED TV
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
Is the LG G4 brighter than the C4?+
Yes. The G4 uses a Micro Lens Array (MLA) panel and the Alpha 11 processor, making it substantially brighter than the C4's conventional evo panel. Both are 2024 OLEDs on webOS 24 with four HDMI 2.1 ports up to 144 Hz, but the G4 is the higher brightness tier — a visible difference, not a fault on either.
Structured depth, not empty permutations
Every published record carries a direct answer, scope, ordered fixes, risk notes and sources.
