LG OLED evo G4 Series 4K TV vs LG OLED evo Smart TV

The G4 is LG's flagship OLED evo, and the plain LG Smart OLED is the step-down model. The G4 adds a brighter evo panel, a 144Hz refresh rate for gaming, and a slimmer gallery-style build meant for wall mounting. Owners and reviewers praise the G4's punchier HDR highlights and anti-glare coating; the standard OLED is the better value if you watch in a dim room and don't game at high frame rates.

  • Choose the LG OLED evo G4 if you want the brightest picture LG makes, 144Hz gaming, and a flush wall mount.
  • Choose the LG Smart OLED if you want core OLED contrast for movies and streaming and don't need the flagship brightness or gaming speed.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bright living room?
The G4. Its evo panel runs brighter and the matte coating cuts reflections, so daytime viewing holds up better than on the standard OLED.
Is the G4 worth stepping up to for gaming?
Yes, if you play on a PS5, Xbox Series X or a PC. The G4 reaches 144Hz with HDMI 2.1 and VRR; the standard OLED tops out at 120Hz.
Which lasts longer?
Both use OLED panels with similar lifespans and LG's panel care features. Neither has a durability edge on paper; burn-in risk depends on how you watch.
Do both support Dolby Vision and HDR?
Both list HDR support. The G4's brighter panel makes HDR highlights more visible, especially in dark scenes with small bright objects.
Which has better connectivity?
The standard OLED lists Ethernet and optical audio, which the G4 does not. The G4 counters with more gaming-oriented HDMI 2.1 features.
Which sizes can I get?
The G4 comes in 55, 65, 77, 83 and 97 inches. The standard OLED starts at 65 inches and goes up to 97.
