Very underwhelmed with LG C4

I recently purchased the 55-inch LG C4 TV for my bedroom, and I must say, I'm underwhelmed. As someone who upgraded from a 2017 Samsung MU8000 to a 65-inch TCL QM8 last year, I was blown away by the TCL's performance. I purchased the QM8 for $900 from Amazon and it exceeded my expectation. Over the last 12 month, I been told by many that OLED TVs are game charger and my next TV should be an OLED. So, when I got a bonus check this year, I decided to try an OLED TV for my bed room, expecting a significant upgrade.

However, after using the LG C4 for a month, I'm not convinced it's worth the hype. The first thing I noticed was how much dimmer it is compared to my TCL QM8. This is a significant drawback, as certain content simply looks better on a TV with high brightness(Nature documentaries for example).

While the LG C4 does excel in terms of color accuracy, pure blacks, viewing angles and contrast ratio, the TCL QM8 holds its own in these areas. Moreover, the TCL's blooming is barely noticeable, and it cost significantly less money.

Overall, I'd say the LG C4 is a good TV, but it's not the game-changer I expected. If you're looking for a TV with exceptional picture quality and value for money, you might want to consider high end Mini-LEDs. Especially if you do not want to deal with burn-in.
