Discover LG’s new 2024 C4 TVs
LG
The C4 Series TVs are LG’s brand-new flagship OLED models, replacing the 2023 C3s. They feature more than eight million self-lit pixels that can display rich, bright and accurate colors — think 100% color volume with 100% color fidelity. These TVs are loaded with features, too, like Dolby Vision support. You also get special viewing modes, like filmmaker mode, which makes movies look as a director intended.
Not everything you watch will be in native 4K resolution, but the TV has you covered there, too. Take full advantage of the TV’s enhanced AI upscaling, which boosts an image up to almost 4K quality in real time. We also like that this TV offers multi-view, so you can split the screen and watch two things at once.
These TVs offer a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and have a 120Hz refresh rate, via LG’s a9 AI Processor 4K Gen 7 and WebOS 24 operating system. To complement the amazing picture quality, the C4 TVs support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and have a built in 2.2-channel speaker system that includes downward-firing speakers. You also get plenty of port options.
And you get to pick your ideal screen size: 42-inch ($1,500), 48-inch ($1,600), 55-inch ($2,000), 65-inch ($2,700), 77-inch ($3,700) or 83-inch ($5,400). At pre-order, you can also purchase an LG Soundbar C with IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Atmos support for just $800 more (that’s $200 off the price of the soundbar).
And again: When you preorder any C4 Series TV, you get 5% back in LG Rewards and free wall mounting or TV stand setup.

When it comes to LG’s 2024 models of its G4 Series smart TVs, bigger is definitely better. This new TV lineup replaces the 2023 G3 series. Choose between a 55-inch ($2,600), 65-inch ($3,400), 77-inch ($4,600), 83-inch ($6,500) or 97-inch ($25,000) model — all of which offer stunning picture quality that takes full advantage of the latest OLED display technology.
These beauties offer more than eight million self-lit pixels to showcase brighter, more accurate and more vivid colors than ever before — 100% color volume with 100% color fidelity. This series of TVs is 150% brighter than the B4 series TVs from just a few years ago. And these new TVs offer a faster and more powerful processor with even better AI-based upscaling.
These 4K Ultra HD TVs feature 3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate. Each supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, plus LG’s OLED Motion technology that ensures fast moving content (like live sports or an action movie) appears very smooth. That’s all thanks to an LG a11 AI Processor 4K and the WebOS 24 operating system.
One feature that we love: Tap the TV’s enhanced multi-view capabilities and watch four things at once. The TV’s internal speakers offer 4.2 channels (that include down-firing speakers) with support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. So even without adding a soundbar, you can expect impressive sound quality to complement the premium picture quality.
Until March 14, when you preorder any G4 Series TV, you get 5% back in LG Rewards, up to 25% off an LG soundbar and free wall mounting or TV stand setup.
NEW YORK — Former New York Gov. David Paterson and his stepson were attacked in New York City on Friday night, authorities said.
The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. on Second Avenue near East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, according to the New York City Police Department.
Police said officers were sent to the scene after an assault was reported. When officers arrived, police say they found a 20-year-old man suffering from facial injuries and a 70-year-old man who had head pain. Both victims were taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the former governor said the two were attacked while “taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson.”
The spokesperson said that they were injured “but were able to fight off their attackers.”
Both were taken to Cornell Hospital “as a precaution,” he added.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
The 70-year-old Paterson, a Democrat, served as governor from 2008 to 2010, stepping into the post after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer following his prostitution scandal. He made history at the time as the state’s first-ever Black and legally blind governor.

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured and a person is in custody after a gunman opened fire on a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday evening, police said.
At around 6:15 p.m., Philadelphia police were notified about a shooting on a SEPTA bus traveling on Allegheny Avenue near 3rd and 4th streets in North Philadelphia, Inspector D F Pace told CBS News Philadelphia.
There were an estimated 30 people on the bus at the time of the shooting, Pace said, but only the 17-year-old boy was believed to have been shot. Investigators said they believe it was a targeted attack on the teenager and that he was shot in the back of the bus at close range.
According to Pace, the SEPTA bus driver alerted a control center about the shooting, which then relayed the message to Philadelphia police, who responded to the scene shortly.
Officers arrived at the scene and found at least one spent shell casing and blood on the bus, but no shooting victim, Pace said. Investigators later discovered the 17-year-old had been taken to Temple University Hospital where he is said to be in critical condition, according to police.

Through their preliminary investigation, police learned those involved in the SEPTA shooting may have fled in a silver-colored Kia.
Authorities then found a car matching the description of the Kia speeding in the area and a pursuit began, Pace said. Police got help from a PPD helicopter as they followed the Kia, which ended up crashing at 5th and Greenwood streets in East Mount Airy. Pace said the Kia crashed into a parked car.
The driver of the crashed car ran away but police were still able to take them into custody, Pace said.
Investigators believe there was a second person involved in the shooting who ran from the car before it crashed. Police said they believe this person escaped near Allegheny Avenue and 4th Street, leaving a coat behind.
According to Pace, police also found a gun and a group of spent shell casings believed to be involved in the shooting in the same area.
“It’s very possible that there may have been a shooting inside the bus and also shots fired from outside of the bus toward the bus,” Pace said, “We’re still trying to piece all that together at this time.”
This is an active investigation and police are reviewing surveillance footage from the SEPTA bus.
