LG Announces Pricing and Availability of 2024 OLED B4 TV Line-Up

[Nomad76]

LG Electronics USA today announced pricing and immediate availability of its LG OLED B4 4K TV lineup. Benefitting from more than a decade of unparalleled excellence in the OLED domain, LG's B4 OLED TV Series enhances the viewing experience through self-lit pixels, the Alpha 8 AI-driven processor, and an upgraded webOS platform that offers an array of smart features, alongside access to a continually expanding library of free content with LG Channels.

With over 8 million self-lit pixels - LG's OLED technology is a masterclass in creating rich and accurate picture quality. Available in three screen sizes (77-, 65- and 55-inches) - the LG OLED B4 Series features Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for an immersive sound and vision experience. The B4 also includes an updated processor. The Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K with AI Picture Pro automatically adjusts the ideal settings and fine-tunes the picture based on the content being watched.





The B4 also delivers a 0.1 ms response time and up to 120 Hz refresh rate, creating high-speed gaming without any blurring or tearing, while NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium and VRR add to the premium gaming experience. Users can control all of their devices from four HDMI 2.1 inputs with the LG Game Dashboard and Game Optimizer (subscription and a compatible gaming controller are required).

Built-in support for Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2, HomeKit, Chromecast, and many others makes interconnecting devices to the B4 simple. Consumers can even control their TV with their Google Assistant device, get instant access to over 300 free channels on LG Channels, including movies, breaking news, sports and more, and discover and enjoy premium entertainment via an internet connection. With WOW Orchestra, LG soundbars and LG OLED TVs utilize the full potential of the audio channels from both products to create an unrivaled audio experience with an enlarged soundstage and improved depth and height.

So even after $1700+ for TV LG spies on their users, if these idiots want to spy on users it better be free else its not worth asking price.

"Everybody Spies" - Dr. House (well sorta)

If you don't want anyone watching you watching them watching you, then you should really consider getting another form of entertainment, heeheehee

It's not that simple though due to the terms.
LG holds your device hostage, no updates and no "smart" features for you unless you accept the ToS (sell your data).

And still to big, still waiting on a 40-42" monitor capable of 120Hz at least, and it don't even need to be oled.

 

[unwind-protect]

It's not going to spy if you don't connect it to the interwebs...

Arent there a lot of those? Samsung, LG, Asus, and KTC are all making those and they are monitors rather than TVs.

Most smart TVs do something along those lines. Just avoid the smart features and get all your content from HDMI devices like a Shield or Apple TV. Only let the TV connect to wifi for firmware updates.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

Right...except with a newer LG TV you can't get firmware updates unless you agree to the ToS....
So yea you can never connect it to the internet, and it will never get a firmware update. That's it.

The smart features I don't care about since I'll always have a console or a Roku lying around.

Can't you just update from USB?

 

[natr0n]

This model is called B4 Next model might be called AF-T3R

Yes, you can.
LG does have a good record of having offline updates for their TVs available to download. Even for models already +15 years old.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

Well that's good at least, was not aware so thank you for posting that.
Still don't have a good taste in my mouth though from that last purchase unfortunately.

You can connect it to a network, just put it on a separate SSID that's locked down and doesn't have access to your main network (I have a separate IoT network for things like the TV and the washer/dryer that just need internet access). Similar to what everyone else saying, use a separate streaming device instead of the smart features for your content.

WTF need ?, no washer, dryer or TV should not need to be on the internet. I can either update what ever manually or they can go uck them selves.

Just what everyone wants to get locked out of their devices what they supposed to own.

Yes, actually.

PS: I am very happy with my LG B9 which is nearly 5 years old now.

No way LG is looking to lock you out of your devices man. I doubt most vendors are, though there are probably some scumsuck exceptions.

LG literally makes the C series in 42". The new C4 will do 144Hz, older C series are limited to 120Hz. All support AMD Freesync and Nvidia Gsync. They make great monitors. Typically on sales around $900-$1000 if you are in the US. They also have a 48" size as well.

You don't actually need to accept any of the terms and conditions to use these newer LG TVs. You just won't have access to the smart TV features, but you are able to download firmware updates from LG's servers and still have access to the performance/game mode options.

Alternatively, you can use the service USB port and upgrade the firmware manually.

Lucky Goldstar have basically made no improvements in 3 generations of C and B series. All the efforts goes into the G series. No LG ever for me, I;'ve been burned 3 times with premature failures of LG products.

It sucks so hard that Panasonic pulled out of Australia, as they were always my go-to brand with zero issues. SOny is best choice now, but they have gone mental on price claiming to be ultra-premium. Miniled dearer than OLED now.

Having a separate network doesnt stop these devices from listening, watching(for the devices that come with webcam) and monitoring users activity. As Tesla has proved employees of these companies can be perverts and get away with no consequences for the company(or even the employees). now in case of LG, Samsung they are Chaebol based in Korea where they have far more control on government, legal system and policy making than some of the Western companies so dont expect any consequences if they are caught with massive data breach or surveillance.

 

[Dr. Dro]

those prices are insane for a low-end B-series OLED... I paid $1680 USD on my 55 inch G3, directly from LG themselves! Looks like I bought into OLED at the right time...

 

[Kaleid]

Who buys a new TV just released? Just wait about one year and they'll sell them a lot cheaper

 

[Chomiq]

Pricing for new tele's is always inflated on launch. Since Euro is going on right now there's plenty good deals to be found on last year's models.
