LG G3 MLA OLED: The Hype is Real... 

Hi there, we use a basic TV stand on wheels as it’s good for our testing. Please find the link here amzn.to/449gfic

If you want more of a traditional stand that actually sits on top of a normal entertainment stand, look for the Sanus VSTV2. Fits up to 80'' and the bottom can rise up to eight inches for sound bars, and I think it can be lowered to around three inches or so (relatively the same as a typical LG stand on their lower model TVs). Ironically, the optional G3 stand from LG is pure trash and nowhere near as good as their standard ones that come with their other TVs. It also causes the G2/G3 to lean back. No thanks.

Mine was crap . It turns off playing ps5 by it self, lg didn’t know what’s going so they told to return it

Do they both have MLA? I thought MLA was only for 77 inch?

all but 83@@marnix9800

​@marnix9800 actually all models of the G3 come with the brand-new MLA technology with the exclusion of the 83 in.

I'm still rocking the Sony Z9D 75 inch in basement and Sony Z9D 65 inch bedroom. However I recently upgraded my sound from Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc 9.2.4 1000 watts. Waiting on the Nakamichi Dragon 11.4.6 3000 watts. In my master bedroom I upgraded from the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE 9.2.4 1000 watts. To the Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE Earc 9.2.4 1300 watts. Once I listen to the improvement over the original Nakaimichi shockwafe SSE. I don't think I would have a need to upgrade to the Nakaimichi dragon. The improvement left my jaw on the floor 🤔. I can only play the UHD Blueray at 26% volume and subwoofer at 4/10 and my room was shaking 🫨. Still happy with the Sony Z9D because it does incredible 3D.

Yes, every year TV tech increases incrementally, the G3 is a big step up from what we normally see.

​​​@@MrBjorn6I think what you're saying here is absolutely correct instead of spending $2,000 on a incremental TV upgraxe it's much better to spend $2,000 on the audio and completely change the quality of your viewing experience Subjectively it will make and even bigger difference than the TV did in the first place! Anytime people come over to wash and listen to my setup the picture impresses them,but the sound absolutely floors them is SOUND. That's what makes them smile and brings sooo much more immersion. Whatever you spend on your TV you should at least spend that on the audio if you want a really good home theater experience 🤷‍♂️ Nice part about audio is you can also upgrade in steps and still get good results. A center and subwoofer first. Then dedicated left and right. Then surround sound. Lastly, another subwoofer. The second one will really help even out the bass response in the room as well as making the subs have to work much less hard which means less distortion 😁 It's more than 2x as good as one, in my opinion, because you get significantly more output and more quality. I actually prefer multiple less-expensive subwoofers over one really expensive one when dividing the budget. That's what I did. I started with 2 subs and ended with 4. That's where I noticed the diminishing returns would fall off I don't have a need for more than four. Output is good and bass response is even. Every speaker has a subwoofer somewhere within range to make the setup full range.

Not only the entire screen is brighter, the HDR highlights. 1000 NIT is the standard for HDR movies. Again not the whole screen. Could be the stars or Sun in the sky, headlights….

MLA is on 55, 65, and 77, but not the 83

I do have the 55inch G3 version and I agree with you, also I have it connected with my sonos system and the experience its phenomenal.

I went from a LCD to LG G3 OLED wow@@adenoidhinkel

well, you 2 have convinced me to go with the G3. I currently have a C2, but I need to move it to a different room due to having to give our eldest son a new TV at his place. So bonus for me!!! 2 new TV's in the space of 8 months (thankfully, I only paid $1,200 AUD for my C2). I am very excited about the G3 supporting DTS pass through to hook up to my Sonos ARC. I'm also close to making the decision and upgrading my one's to ERA 300's.

@jb7753 Do it. I recently bought 2 Era 300s and the way atmos soundtracks' sound is amazing.

@@adenoidhinkel If you say so 👍. How have you got the rear's mounted? I'll need to wall mount them. I'm not sure I can get the recommended spacing around them, though. At least not the height. Might need to invert them.

I have seen in person. I can assure you it is noticeably brighter. Some scenes took me offguard by how much bright it appeared

Wait for the a95l

@@KillerdragonHD will it support DTS pass through and dolby vision? Any idea on price difference the 55in?

@@jb7753 I know it will have dts surround sound and dobly but sony tv’s usually have better image processing so a 55 inch probably will be 2800

​@@jb7753It'll be significantly more expensive.

Wait til November, there will be big price cuts soon

G3 much better than QN95C, I saw G3 QN95C side by side in the store, G3 almost has the same brightness QN95C and G3 is a oled, you know what it mean? Just go to G3.

I would also go with the G3 since you're going to get Dolby vision along with perfect blacks Plus the G3 really does get bright compared to many other OLEDs of the past Like subjectively it's enough that you can really see it and it pops in the way and LCD would pop to some extent. (Not on full screen brightness but certainly on highlights for HDR I will save this TV is mostly just going to be used for gaming , LCD makes more sense. I don't know anyone that games in a pitch-black room. With the lights on it's you're o be hard-pressed to tell the QN in is not an OLED. Yu're going to completely avoid burn in this way and get much more full-screen brightness to boot. I own is C1, also like Samsung for what it's worth so no major bias here If it's mixed content and you're going to do some darkroom viewing get the G3 if it's mostly a gaming sports TV that you're going to use mostly during the day I would go with the Samsung QN.

@@paulcox2447 I was a samsung TV fans before, QN95C QN95B S95C is good.G3 change everything.

@@paulcox2447 Thankyou very much for your indepth response. It was very helpful and helps me decide between the two. Full screen brightness and gaming performance is something im very keen on so what you said about this is very interesting.

How is the sound of the G3

I don’t run the sound from the G3 so can’t comment. I can say the Sonos Arc, Sub and Era 300’s I have connected to the G3 sound fantastic. If you have the budget consider purchasing them.

I have the exact same issue. Some one help us!

Yes go for the C3

damn thatt is like 2750e and here that tv is 3600e ( 3141£) im jealous

Where from?

I've got the Samsung Q990B with my 77" G3. Amazing sound. An all round fantastic setup!

Yea no TV has 100hz

Thinking about it myself but I think my space is too small. How far away are you from the screen?

@@BarretKwe are about 11-13 feet

@@edwindaleccio4487 see I am 9-10 feet. Hmmmm.

Why? That's a high tier OLED compared to a low tier LCD. I don't get what you're seeking here

any Sonos soundbar or Nakamichi

There you go

Lg loses

​@@denissssss8579LG fanboys will get nasty at that comment on here😂

They dont sell tv no more and got bankrupt hence they quite out

@@gsst6389 they are too big to go bankrupt ryt?

I have total opposite view. The Google TV OS is hands down the best implementation for a TV. The UI is one of the biggest reasons I can't commit to LG

A95K, absolutely destroys the G3...

@@bigcdub Thanks!

A80L

How's the G3. I am also looking for 55 inch. But confused between G3 vs C3 or Something like Samsung S90C to save some money. What do you think?

I've just purchased the 83 inch version and was conflicted because of no MLA so hope I've made the right choice.

@@chappers8613I have it and after a few adjustments in the settings man the picture is amazing. I have a Apple TV as well as

I told him about Cold Palmer 🥶👀 Glad you enjoyed the review 😁

Maybe not, since MLA focuses the light of only the white sub pixel. With QDOLED every sub pixel is emissive so individual lenses wouldn’t make sense.

I'll keep that tip in mind.

Sony Bravia TVs you pay more for better experience but they use Mediatek SoC 2 HDMI 2.1 ports only downside

@@RobertK1993definitely not worth the more money plus this tv better with gaming if you game

We are currently testing the A95L, so stay tuned for an in depth review & G3 comparison.

@@smarthomesounds thank you for your response 🙂

Good old Sony tax!

Well it just makes sense, usually new revolutionary tech cost super hight at first to cash out on those idiots who got money to burn, then after some time it reducces so it can cash out from the more general audience market and repet. So consider that they selling the the FIRST and ONLY QD-OLED at 77, well- might has well cash out from the inpatient crowd firdt and then lower it to the general public after, Maximum profit!!

True but LG better with console/pc

Better wait LG G4 OLED coming with 2gen MLA OLED panels with 144hz panel and 3000nits brightness and new powerful alpha 10 processor with neural engine technology

Is this a good TV for watching shows like the Golden Girls and Small Wonder and Alf?

so does that mean you care?

I recently got a 65in s95b for $1500. Great deal awesome TV the s95 is

the reason I don't even look at qd-oleds is the burn in acceleration. If you baby your tv to death and won't be playing video games, i agree that qd-oled is the better choice, but i focus on longevity, hence why either the G3 or x95k is gonna be the one i buy

Wow, the S95c is amazing TV, one of the best Tvs of the year! You can go wrong with either. Makes sense to go with whichever is less....

@@Ben-fq1ljJust get a warranty

@@NexGenTek as far as im aware sony nor samsung offer burn in warranty

Surely not everywon has 200-1000 to spend for a sound bar 💀💀💀

@@gsst6389 if you're watching a review to possibly buy a 3k (give or take) TV, I'm sure you can afford a sound bar.

@@gsst6389 I think in the bedroom set up a sound bar is overkill. I have a Sony in my bedroom for that explicit reason because it sounds terrific with the surface acoustic sound.
