Our Verdict
LG B4 OLED
LG C4 OLED
The LG C4 OLED is better than the LG B4 OLED for the most part. The C4 has better reflection handling and slightly better SDR peak brightness, so it handles a bit more glare in a bright room, and it has better low-quality content smoothing. The C4 also gets brighter in HDR in most picture modes, making highlights pop more in HDR content. However, the two TVs have very similar HDR brightness while using the Game Optimizer picture mode.
