When you’re shopping for one ofthe best TVsthere’s lots to consider. And when you land on a manufacturer’s webpage and see a sea of letters and numbers per product, it can be a bit overwhelming. Having spent a day at LG HQ in the UK, however, I’m here to break down the brand’s 2024 4K-resolution television range so you know what you’re getting for your cash.
LG is largely known for makingthe best OLED TVs, which you’ll find at the top of its range (and further down this particular article), but the company also makes comparableQuantum Dotsets (which it calls QNED, whereasSamsungprefers QLED), and cheaper LCD panels at the bottom of its range. All have their place and, crucially, will fit varying budgets. So let’s get to it…

If you’re after a more affordable TV but don’t necessarily wish to compromise on size then the UT range is fitting. These are LCD panels.
The ‘T’ represents a 2024 release date. The ‘U’ is the model number (so previous models will be ‘UR’, for example, compared to ‘UT’ of this year’s range).
LG UT73, UT81, UT91
Step up to the UT80 or UT81 and the design is slimmed down, while a Magic Remote is included in the box to make for easier point-at-screen use. The picture quality will be the same from the generalist LED backlight, it’s the design and peripherals that are the step up here.
A notch above this is the UT91, which adds a height-adjustable stand to the above but, most importantly, there is local dimming – the edge-illumination means you can can expect slightly better control of light-on-dark subjects. It’s not going to be a picture master, however, as control over these limited zones is limited, but it’s the best of the lower-priced range for 2024.

LG QNED TVs 2024

As with the LCD series, the ‘T’ represents a 2024 release. Previous models' product numbers differ depending on region and release date.
LG QNED80T, QNED85T, QNED91T
The entry-level QNED panel for 2024 is the 80T, which features a 60Hz panel (as do all the previous entries in this list).
The step-up is the QNED85T, which adds the Alpha 8 processor, meaning it’s capable of 120Hz refresh rate, includingVRR (Variable Refresh Rate)that gamers will love.

This is where things step up to a more ‘pro’ level, as OLED is fundamentally different to LCD (and therefore QNED) panels. Organic Light Emitting Diode is what it stands for and each ‘pixel’ is able to self-illuminate for pixel-perfect contrast control without the need for backside or edge illumination.
Unlike the LCD and QNED models' product codes, the OLED series starts at B, moving to C, then G (this no longer being wall-mount only, but offering ‘W’ wall-mount or ‘S’ stand-mount options), before reaching M (which is wireless), and T (which is translucent).
LG OLED B4, OLED C4, OLED G4
The opener in the OLED series (as an OLED A4 won’t exist in the UK or most territories, far as I understand) is the OLED B4, complete with the Aplha 8 processor and a 120Hz panel. There’s a new 48-inch model that was absent in last year’s OLED B3 line-up. Otherwise things are pretty similar, bar for one significant upgrade – all four ports are HDMI 2.1, which is great for gamers.
Stepping up a level is the OLED C4 (which is largely similar to theOLED C3of last year), which upgrades to the Alpha 9 processor and can offer future-proofed 144Hz in gaming mode. Other than those differences the crucial addition of an Evo panel means the C4’s ‘Brightness Booster’ tech is brighter than the B4. Both C4 and B4 feature 9.1.2 channel virtual surround too.
Largely considered as the champion model of the LG OLED range is the OLED G4. This year, however, there will be ‘W’ wall-mount and ‘S’ stand-mount options, meaning you can pick the option that will best suit your needs. The G4 features the new Alpha 11 processor, which is able to apply even more artificial intelligence processing, 11.1.2 channel virtual surround sound, and again 144Hz refresh. The big sell of the G4, however, is its MLA panel with Brightness Booster Max technology means it’s the brightest in LG’s range.

LG OLED M4, OLED T
I’ve subcategorised the M and T models as they’re altogether more specialist. The OLED M4 is identical to the G4 in all ways, except it comes as wall-mount only and has a Zero Connect Box separate for the HDMI connections – which is can transmit to the TV (up to 10 metres) wirelessly and in lossless formats. The only cable you need worry about is a power cable to the set itself.
Beyond this is the OLED T, which is a 77-inch only model and a transparent screen. It’s less bright, will come in a yet-to-be-finalised ‘contained’ design andwhen I saw it at the CES 2024 show was very impressed. It’ll probably cost a fortune though, so will be more proof of concept for most people.
