LG TVs of the C4 series are TVs of 2024; According to already established practice, in Europe you can see many different models, for example, the OLED65C47LA and OLED65C48LA models. If you don’t know which TV to choose and want to understand the differences between them, here’s an explanation
Differences between C4 TV models in Europe
The last three letters in the LG TV model number are the sales region identifier, digital tuner type, and design. For more information about the TV model number, see the article “Samsung TV Model Number Explained.” Therefore, C48LA and C49LA basically determine the country in which the TV is made. Although the basic technical specifications of TVs are the same, there may be slight differences between TV models.
Let’s look at the example of LG OLEDC4 TVs for Germany.
- The base model that will be offered to customers is the OLED**C47LA, which is offered in six screen sizes from 42 to 83 inches.
- Model OLED**C48LA. This model is not offered in the 83-inch size, and another difference is that it comes with an NFC-enabled remote control.
- The OLED**C49LA model will not be offered in a 42-inch size.
The differences between the models are due primarily to LG’s desire to separate TV models by country in order to limit the movement of TVs between countries; of course, no one forbids you from doing this, but for example, if you buy a TV in Germany and bring it to Italy, then In Italy, it will not be possible to repair it under warranty since this model was not originally intended for Italy.
Here’s a small table showing the OLED C4 series TV models by country.
| OLED**C41LA | OLED**C44LA | OLED**C45LA | OLED**C46LA | OLED**C47LA | OLED**C48LA | OLED**C49LA |
| Hungary Croatia | France Poland Italy UK | Netherlands Poland UK | France Netherlands | Germany Switzerland | Germany Switzerland | Germany Switzerland |
Which OLED C4 model to choose
As I mentioned earlier, the main reason for creating so many models is to limit the movement of TVs between countries, and another reason is to create TV models that will only be sold through large retailers or chain stores. Although in Europe this practice is less common. When choosing a TV in a store, check the availability of such a model on the official website to avoid possible repair problems. If repairs don’t particularly bother you, then you can choose a TV based only on price, since the technical characteristics of the TVs are the same, be it the C41LA or C49LA model.
