The G3 is LG’s only OLED TV to use the new OLED panel equipped with billions of microlenses to dramatically increase peak brightness. This panel also improves viewing angles and reflection processing. Is this enough to make it the best OLED TV on the market?
Highlights
Brightness peak never seen before on an Oled TV (1490 cd/m²).
Image quality in SDR and HDR.
Infinite contrast.
Viewing angles.
Still powerful α9 processor.
Responsiveness of Oled technology, excellent display lag.
HDMI 2.1 compatibility (VRR, ALLM, eARC), FreeSync and G-Sync.
Flat design with cable management system for easy wall mounting.
Wall mount provided.
Rotating foot (but optional).
Reduced consumption.
Weak points
Optional foot (€199).
Obligation to install a cable duct to hide the cables.
Non-backlit remote control.
The extent of color coverage is not progressing.
The LG 77G3 — the 77-inch (196 cm) version of the LG 65G3 that we tested — is quite simply the best TV tested to date in our laboratory. It combines all the advantages of Oled technology (contrast, precision, responsiveness, viewing angles) with the high brightness of a Mini-Led model. Even the anti-reflective filter is even more efficient. If you look closely, you will find some minor flaws, such as a lower color coverage compared to QD-Oled TVs, a stand sold as an option, or a fairly standard remote control. The fact remains that this TV is currently the best for all uses (films, series, video games, TV, and sports).
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product in the last month, with safety rules to exclude prices from stores whose VAT policy is unclear (so-called “grey” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
As an alternative
For a few years now, LG has been hitting hard with its C range and this LG 77C3 — 77-inch (196 cm) version of the LG 65C3 that we tested — is still an excellent reference. Of course, the developments are meager compared to the C2, but we appreciate the increase in the maximum brightness of the panel. The versatility of the TV is still there to enjoy your movies at home and games without compromise or almost, the best technologies being reserved for the LG G3, the manufacturer’s most high-end model.
