Q: Can this television be connected to a roof antenna?
A: Hi, Mary. Thank you for your interest. The LG TV (OLED42C4PUA) model doesn't have a built-in coaxial input for a traditional roof antenna, so it can't be directly connected to one without additional equipment. However, you can connect your antenna to an external tuner or a set-top box that has a coaxial input. Then, you can connect the tuner or box to the TV via HDMI for watching over-the-air channels. For more information regarding the product, you may visit https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-oled42c4pua-oled-4k-tv. If you need help setting this up or recommendations for compatible devices, feel free to reach out to us on social media @LGUSSupport, and we're ready here to help. ^Juvy

Outstanding Picture Quality and Immersive Experien
I recently purchased the LG C4 OLED TV, and I have to say, it has completely exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is nothing short of stunning, with the deep blacks, vibrant colors, and incredible contrast that OLED technology is known for. Watching content on this TV feels like you're stepping into a whole new world – the clarity and detail are mesmerizing, and the picture is always perfectly crisp, even in dark scenes. The design of the LG C4 is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into my living room. The thin profile makes it look incredibly stylish, and the stand is sturdy yet elegant. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the build quality, making it a beautiful addition to any space. One of my favorite features is the vibrant color accuracy. Whether I’m watching movies, gaming, or just browsing through regular TV shows, the colors pop in a natural, lifelike way. The brightness level is excellent too, ensuring that you get a great viewing experience even in well-lit rooms. Speaking of gaming, the LG C4 OLED TV shines here as well. The 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDMI 2.1 make it perfect for next-gen gaming consoles, offering ultra-smooth gameplay and reduced input lag. Whether you’re playing fast-paced shooters or open-world games, the TV delivers a fluid and immersive experience that really enhances the overall gaming experience. Additionally, the smart features and user interface are intuitive and easy to navigate. The WebOS system is fast and responsive, and I’ve had no issues accessing my favorite apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. The voice control functionality is also an added bonus for hands-free operation. Overall, the LG C4 OLED TV is a top-of-the-line product that delivers exceptional picture quality, great design, and cutting-edge features. If you're looking for a TV that offers a truly immersive viewing experience, I highly recommend this model. It’s definitely worth the investment!

Amazing Experience.
This TV has replaced my monitor for my computer. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. The visuals produced are incredible. It also displays 120hz (144hz in boost mode which requires HDMI 2.1) which is perfect for my needs. Games look incredible. And using it to watch movies and TV shows is also great. The TV will add more frames to shows and movies so that the picture looks smoother which can be nice for some shows or movies but definitely not all. Overall it's a great TV and I highly recommend!

Maybe best in size class without breaking the bank
I've had a C1 (65") as my main tv for several years and I absolutely love it. I decided to upsize my bedroom tv which is primarily used for gaming when aforementioned main screen is otherwise in use as there was a great sale on budget TVs last xmas (I went with a TCL 43" Q6). I thought I'd be fine with a budget tv, but comparing it to the C1 just showed me that it's worth paying for the quality. The C4 has vivid colors, supports both 4k at 120 HZ AND 1440 at 120Hz, making it a perfect gaming display (at least as perfect as you can get without spending a real fortune). Vivid colors, super low latency, and since OLED, perfect blacks. If there's any complaint it's that maybe HDR mode could be a little brighter, but I almost always play in a dark room so for me that's not really a huge issue. The C4 also has shockingly good sound for a modern TV. Audiophiles are still gonna want to use dedicated speakers, but I was pleasantly surprised at how decent it sounded on the occasions I wasn't just using my typical headphones. webOS remains fine. The mouse pointer remote function is as useless as it's always been, and I wish LG would just go directly to Google TV instead, but webOS is quick and responsive and supports pretty much every streaming service I could think of using. Definitely recommended if you want a great tv without getting into the higher end flagship model pricepoints.
