Hey guys I have a 65" LG C1 that I want to upgrade to C4, what are my options? Can I do trade in at Harvey Norman or similar? Or must I sell myself? Thanks.

You're not upgrading, you're sidegrading. If anything, it's actually a downgrade because WebOS on C4 and later models is bloated, slow and full of ads.

And no there is no trade-in for such an old model at HVN.

I was mainly wanting to get something brighter because my living room has a bunch of windows that I'd rather not shut all the curtains during broad daylight... understood the display tech is mostly the same otherwise.

Sad, maybe I'll buy the C4 and keep the C1 elsewhere or give it away. Thanks.

C4 isn't really that much brighter than C1, not enough for a whole new display change. It's less than a 80 nits difference on a full field 100% white window (very unrealistic scene yes, even in a snowfield). On a 50% window (which is closer to most most scenes in any given movie) the difference is only ~60 nits, which is barely noticeable.

If you want OLED for a room where there's sunlight, your actual upgrade would be a G4 or G5. Honestly speaking I think you're better off with a MiniLED like the Bravia 9 instead.

Thanks bro for sharing your insights, super useful for a noob like me smile.gif

I think I'll save up for a G-series then!

Just to be clear since someone PM'd me about the C4 after your post; the C4 is very noticeably brighter in specular highlights below the 10% window - about as much as 180 nits brighter. But since you're going to be using the TV in a room with sunlight pouring in, the entire screen still isn't bright enough to combat sun glare either ways.

Is the G-series good enough to combat full sun coming in from behind me in late afternoon? I'm pretty set on OLED because I do also game at night, and OLED really shines on PS5 Pro
