Based on our reviews of their predecessors, we expect these new models to be among the best high-end TVs available this year.
`The least expensive model is the 42-inch C4 series for $1,500.`
LG says the G4 will be the brightest OLED TV on the market in 2024 — slightly brighter than the G3 — and also touts improved color. The company also says the C4 will be slightly brighter than the C3.
TV pricing is cyclical, so as the year goes on, those prices will drop and likely reach their low points in the fall of 2024.
We previewed the C4 and G4 at CES 2024, but we'll be excited to get our hands on them to test in the CNET lab.
In the meantime, we continue to recommend the C3 as the best high-end TV overall.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author makes an appeal to authority by stating that LG's new OLED TVs are expected to be among the best high-end TVs available this year based on their predecessors' reviews. This is a form of hasty generalization as it assumes that because the previous models were good, the current ones will also be good without any evidence or testing. The author also makes an inflammatory statement by saying that LG's 2024 G4 and C4 OLED TV prices are generally a few hundred dollars higher than the current 2023 versions. This is not true as the article shows that some of the models have actually decreased in price compared to their predecessors. The author also uses dichotomous depiction by stating that LG's new G4 will be brighter than its predecessor, but fails to provide any evidence or testing results to support this claim.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that LG has only announced pricing on the first two models of OLED TVs for this year which are the G4 and C4 OLED. However, later in the article it mentions other screen sizes available for these models as well as a third model called M4 OLED. This contradicts what was stated earlier and therefore cannot be considered true information.
The article mentions that LG will be offering its new SG10TY soundbar at a 25% discount when bundled with select LG OLED evo G4 and C4 TVs, but it does not mention any other discounts or promotions available for these models.
