If you care about HDR for gaming the G4 is way better.

G3 is not better than G4.

Update:
Folks, ended up with 65G4.
Me and the missus tried to sit at 6 ft in front our 75'' living room tv and we agreed the FOV was too much for our likings. Plus the MLA panel and the 5 yearn warranty really win me over.
Thanks for all the inputs, gaffers are always a great community. Anyway, can't wait to join the OLED wagon and never shut up about it!

Well you are wrong. The G4 Series is excellent for gaming. There is no brightness issues at all, in fact the HDR brightness is basically identical in game mode vs cinema mode for the G4.
The main thing Samsung OLEDs have is better color volume, so colors pop a bit more, but for gaming its irrelevant outside slightly nicer looking colors.
Why would you game on vivid mode?
You can have your opinion, but you clearly never used a G4 or do not know how to properly dial in the settings.
Edit: I just realized you were referencing the G3, well considering OP asked about C4 vs G4 your notes on G3 is irrelevant since G4 has seen improvements to game mode brightness for HDR.

I'm a massive advocate of bigger is better, I really hate how ppl buy 65 inch OLEDs and sit like 3+ metres from it. Like what's the point of an OLED then, everything looks good from far away. But in your case, if you're only sitting 6 feet and no more, maybe even closer, the 65 inch is probably good enough as far as distance. But no one ever buys a TV and after a month or so says I should of gone smaller. I have an 85 inch and I sit 10 feet from it, I'm waiting to get a good deal on 98 inch in future. I have a square theatre room and couch sits at the back wall and on one side just in front of the couch is two sliding doors to the room so I literally have no option to move the couch back or bring it forward. I'm forever stuck at that distance for that room.

Donnie Brasco, have watched this movie maybe 100 times.Agreed, with stuff like this, the bigger, the better. Once you start getting to like $2,300 or $2,700, might as well get the biggest anyway.
Anything above 100", I just use a projector anyway, I have one thats like 300" that fits a whole wall that i use to watch old films

Wise choice. You're in for one hell of an experience.

Shocked at how many people are unironically saying get the worse TV just because it's bigger. That's awful advice. Especially considering none of you took into account all the other factors that OP mentioned in his post.
LectureMaster i'm glad you went with the better choice.

Twas a classic. I only watch old films and gangster flicks on the projector for that movie feel. I've used projectors that are like $500, I've used one that is $70...don't believe the hype lol If you can get one for like sub $200, its a good buy for that movie feel, but it won't be the quality of like a 4K tv or something and the laser ones I've seen are so expensive, you are better off getting some 100" TV for that price anyway.
Projectors are great for the novelty of getting that old school, grainy movie feel tbh. imho, do not pay over $200 and enjoy it for what it is. I don't know if paying more gets you anything that much noticeably better. It won't replace your normal tv, its great for family events and just having that movie theater feel once in a while, but not something I'd recommend someone spend $2k on the laser projector and then another $1k on the screen or something lol

I was searching on LG G4 gaming setting and stumbled across this quite dedicated thread.
It appears that ALLM + Filmmaker is the most optimized setting across all LG 2023 - 2024 OLEDs. Not only do you get the most accurate pictures, you actually also get lower latency compared to game mode. I think I'm gonna test it out when my TV arrives. It's probably also worth a shot for you.

I just had to make this choice the other day and went for the 77" C4. Previously had a 55 C9 and decided on the size over the increased brightness. It is defiently overwhelming early on lol. Your above post seems to mitigate the picture quality when gaming will look into that.

Not really unless you're planning to go up in size. I went from a 55 C9 to 77 C4 and picture quality wise they're very similar.

Yup I'm still rocking my 55C9 which still does everything I need and the pic quality remains superb. I also couldn't fit a bigger tv in my office/gaming room.
I'll upgrade for PS6 to a 77 G7/8 which should be a real upgrade at that point.

It actually took a step back in VRR flicker. I never noticed it on my C9 but on the C4 I see it in menus and loading screens all the time
This is fucking stupid picture.According to the first page of the console peasant handbook all you need is a 48 inch
But you should absolutely get the 77
OP don't listen to the guys saying 77 is too big, or 65 is ideal for 6 feet.
I have a 65 oled and I sit 6-7 feet away. And it's just a rectangle in the middle, it's not filling my view fully and I for sure would upgrade to 77 or bigger.

As someone who had this setup, it is awful for gaming. When you have to physically tilt and turn your head to see HUD elements in the corners, it gets tiring. You do not want the TV to fill that much of your FOV for gaming. It's better to have a balance for movies and games.
That chart is still bullshit, though. Three meters from a 65"? Absurd.

But 65" is not event close to filling my view from 6-7 feet. In order to get uncomfortable and looking around to see hud I need to close to 2-2,5 feet from it.
77 will also not fill my view completely from 6 feet.

Can you, OP, even see the difference in picture quality between the C and G series? Or are you just basing this off of some internet article or YouTube influencer? I'd bet when you see the difference, you won't care that much.

That is why I went 77. The only way I would probably be able to tell a difference is side by side with a bright HDR scene. And even then, what really is the perceivable difference between 950 and 1400 nit highlight?

6 feet is way close for 77. 70+ is too big for most environments that aren’t a theater room, but I got it since I’m 13 feet away and had too.
65 inch with a better screen if you are in the setting for 5 years.

This right here. If you're comparing both TV's in a bright room during the day and the sun coming in then the G4 definitely looks better. But if you're comparing both models in the dark with the lights off then the G4 might be slightly brighter if you have them side by side but its not drastic enough that it's worth paying $1,000 more for.

I sit a little less than 5' away from a 55" and it's pretty comfortable. Imo 65" for 6' away or 77" for 7-8' is good

If you're gaming (or hard of hearing and use subtitles on films etc) be wary of getting too large a panel. What might seen great for big movies and TV isn't so great when you're playing a game with text or maps in corners or bottom of the screen and the screen is such a size that from your seating position your eyes have to constantly move in their sockets to look at sections of the screen rather than take in the screen as a whole. I might not have explained what I mean very well, but try moving your chair a bit too close to your existing TV, put on a game with lots of text and information bars etc and see how unpleasant an experience it is.
I've got an A95L and found 65" to the sweet spot for me in that range. Get a 77" and you may well just end up having to sit a little further back anyway to avoid the above. Plus the other points already made - it can start to look tacky, take over the room and just come across as 'plebby' imo.

When I got my 77" C3 I laughed as I thought I would have to look at corners to see certain things. That went away in 2 weeks and I can see everything on the screen just fine.

for years i was ~6ft from a 77" and loved it
different house now, and im ~8ft from the 77" and i need to go bigger
displays feel like they get smaller over the years
back in the day, 42" felt like a friggin movie theater, now it's something i put in a garage for youtube videos when working on cars

never had this issue
you just use your peripheral vision; or at worst, move your eyes.
been using large displays and sitting close for decades now.
everyone's different i guess.
