yo Jonathan here this is the LG OLED Evo G3 which might be the most feature-packed or most impressive TV or the best TV that I have ever seen.
We’ve also publish Mini LED vs OLED TV, this will give you understanding of the technology a bit better and hopefully pick out the right one for you.
Now I’ve been stoked to check LG OLED evo G3 TV out ever since it was announced pretty much everything.
So LG OLED evo G3 setup behind me or rather what was here before was a desk workstation that had been there for the better part of a year because things shifted though and the Dolby Atmos space moved we really didn’t have a media or a TV setup so I couldn’t think of a better use case than this.
LG OLED evo G3 Setup and Aesthetics
Now the image on this is incredible and I will touch on that in detail but outside of that just aesthetically and design-wise this is beautiful the LG OLED Evo G3 is meant to be wall mounted so much so that it comes with a specially designed wall mount to help ensure things are as flush as possible and once you get it on there this is about as clean as it possibly gets.
I will say the cherry on top here is we were able to run both power and HDMI through the wall so you’re left with zero cables and if you grab this TV and you’re able to do that I would highly recommend that.
So over the past few years LG has continued to release impressive TV after impressive TV to the point where you kind of wonder how do they keep leveling things up but they do this actually marks 10 years of LG being the world’s number one OLED TV brand so to see where they ended up here is pretty incredible with that I will say the LG OLED Evo G3 kind of sets the bar in terms of what you’d want in a TV whether it’s for movies or for gaming (Checkout: 8 Best OLED Gaming Monitor) there’s a lot of great options but this is kind of the gold standard.
This particular model comes in four different sizes 55, 65 which is what we have 77 and finally 83 inches if you want to go big.
MLA Panel in LG OLED evo G3
Now one of the things that makes this TV special and standout is inside there’s an MLA panel which is short for micro lens array fancy Tech talk aside what that does is allows the TV to reach levels of peak brightness that hadn’t been possible before the micro lens array is made up of a layer of micrometer size convex lenses that sit on top of the pixels and that maximizes the amount of light emitted that doesn’t just result in an overall Brighter Image but better Energy Efficiency and I think what surprised me the most were the viewing angles.
OLED Brilliance and Viewing Angles of LG OLED evo G3
Now at this point I would say OLED as a whole is much more adopted but if You’ yet to use an OLED TV one of the biggest benefits is the fact that each individual pixel is self-lit so in the instances where there’s black on screen those are just off which gives you the appearance of infinite contrast and it’s amazing.
Alpha 9 AI Processor Gen 6 in LG OLED evo G3
Now beyond that MLA panel something else new inside here is LG’s Alpha 9 AI processor Gen 6 which brings a handful of great things one of the cooler things here is in the instance where you’re watching something that maybe doesn’t look the best or even sound the best it could be an older YouTube video both AI Sound Pro and AI picture Pro are going to help enhance things.
One of the things that stood out for me is what LG is calling their HDR expression enhancer which essentially does real-time HDR tone mapping and somehow makes things pop even more with that Alpha 9 chip what I kind of think ties everything together is a feature called brightness booster Max and that allows things to be up to 70% brighter than previous models which is no small feat.
One note I do want to add though is with HDR and OLED TVs, it’s not that the entire TV or image itself is just infinitely brighter to the point where it’s like you’re looking at the sun it’s the parts that need to be brighter that are brighter and again when you combine things with that contrast that’s why it’s incredible.
Dolby Vision and Color Excellence in LG OLED evo G3
So when you combine all of those things together with the MLA panel that’s what makes it special and for me, it is hands down the best HDR experience that I’ve got a chance to check out yet now diving a little deeper into HDR if you’ve watched the channel before you know I’m a huge fan and more specifically I am a huge fan of Dolby vision and this TV does not disappoint for reference upstairs we have an lgc1 which is an incredible TV but side by side, the LG OLED Evo G3 is night and day better which is kind of surprising to say.
It supports all flavors of HDR including HDR10 Dolby vision and hlg and the color reproduction is top-notch I would also go as far as to say that I would absolutely use this as a reference monitor which I’ve already started to do looking at something that was edited and color-graded on a pro monitor that’s much much more expensive than this it’s kind of scary how close things are now parallel to the image quality and all those fancy features this is also running the latest version of webOS 23 which has been my favorite TV for forever now.
Filmmaker Mode for Authenticity in LG OLED evo G3
When it comes to TVs I don’t think you really talk about things being Snappy or quick but they absolutely are so I got to give credit to LG for performance here as well this Pack’s just about everything you could possibly want in terms of streaming apps there’s also built an AirPlay and home kit which is a nice touch for the film and Camera nerds out there something that I appreciate is filmmaker mode so what that does is it disables any post-processing or things that weren’t intended to be there on the TV show or movie so you’re viewing things in its purest form the way the filmmaker wanted you to.
Best OLED Gaming Monitor
Beyond TV shows and movies this is also an incredible TV for gaming because it checks just about every single possible box it packs an ultra-fast 0.1 millisecond response rate all four ports are HDMI 2.1 which gives you 4K at 120 htz and you get all versions of variable refresh rates like g-sync, free sync, and HDMI VRR so both the picture quality and the responsiveness look and feel incredible and you really are getting a tremendous gaming experience.
Seamless PS5 and Xbox Integration
In this case we have it hooked up to a PS5 which is kind of a dream combo things look incredible things feel incredible but beyond that, it’s the little things that really take it over the top with the game dashboard an Optimizer gives you quick access to things like current frames per second the low latency modes and picture settings all with one click.
So beyond PS5 is going to be incredible for Xbox series X PC or potentially if you just want to throw everything together because you have four HDMI 2.1 ports you can I do also want to mention while we do have this mounted on the wall and it’s intended to be there it will also work with a traditional stand which looks great as well but again I think this is the way to go.
Conclusion
So again if you’re looking for the ultimate TV experience that packs everything you possibly need this has got to be it if you’ve been eyeing an OLED TV for a while this is probably the best time to grab one because everything new here makes a surprisingly big difference again this does come in four different sizes 55, 65, 77 and 83 inches so depending on what you’re looking for I’ll have a link to everything you could possibly need click here thank you guys so much for reading, this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later.
