On this edition of You Asked, we’re addressing your questions while we wait for the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. Plus, with so many OLED TV options available, which one is best for pairing with a PlayStation 5?
Choosing the Right OLED TV
OLED Concerns
A reader named LunaQueeniemon shared her worries about buying a new OLED TV after her four-year-old LG CX started malfunctioning. She’s considering either the LG B4 (48-inch) or TCL QM7 (55-inch).
The first thing to consider is whether size or picture quality matters more to you. If your space can accommodate a 55-inch model and you prefer that size, I recommend going with the TCL QM7. It offers remarkable visuals and better brightness in both SDR and HDR compared to the smaller LG B4, even if it doesn’t match OLED's perfect blacks.
If price is an issue, keep an eye out for sales on the LG B4; it has been seen at around $800 before. Waiting for that deal could be worth it if you prioritize picture quality.
I understand your hesitation about getting another OLED after experiencing issues with your previous model. while problems can happen with any electronics, newer LG models are generally reliable. Don’t let past experiences deter you from choosing an OLED if that's what you truly want.

Finding Your Ideal Match
Another reader named adiddy911 expressed confusion over which OLED would work best with their PS5 among various models like C4 and G4.
Both the LG C4 and G4 are excellent choices for gaming due to their four HDMI 2.1 ports supporting 4K resolution at a refresh rate of up to 144Hz along with low input lag—ideal for fast-paced games.
If you're looking primarily at gaming performance without needing a large screen size,I suggest considering the smaller sizes of the C series like the C4 (available in 42 and 48 inches). The G series starts at larger sizes but comes at a higher cost.
In terms of brightness during gameplay mode, some users report that HDR performance might potentially be slightly lower on the C4 compared to G4; though, unless you're comparing them side by side directly, this difference might not be noticeable enough to sway your decision toward spending more on G4.
Simplifying Choices for Seniors
A Request from Kathy
Kathy reached out seeking help as she finds tech discussions overwhelming at her age of 75. She wants an easy-to-use TV under $1,500 that works well for streaming movies while also accommodating her hearing needs through subtitles.
For viewing distance of about 75 inches away from where you'll sit comfortably watching shows or movies regularly suggests opting for a screen around 65 inches—big enough without being too overwhelming visually.
However budget constraints make finding an affordable OLED challenging since they tend to start higher than $1k when including soundbars into consideration as well. The LG B4 priced around $1,200 could fit within budget but may lack brightness in luminous rooms compared against other options available today such as mini-LEDs which offer great image quality often brighter than customary OLEDS while being less expensive overall!
Consider checking out models like TCL QM851G or Hisense U8N—they provide solid performance alongside user-kind Google TV interfaces making navigation simple!
