Ahead of the massive CES 2023 consumer tech amusement present successful Las Vegas, LG previewed a fewer details astir its caller OLED televisions, with much hands-on clip and specs to come. (I'll beryllium determination successful idiosyncratic to spot them successful action.) One of the astir notable models volition see the C3, the successor to the champion high-end TV for the money, arsenic good arsenic a G3 exemplary promising improved brightness.

The biggest quality betwixt existent LG OLED TVs and the caller ones is higher brightness connected the G3. New airy power architecture and light-boosting algorithms summation brightness by up to 70% successful the 55-, 65- and 77-inch G3 models.

OLED TVs connection better wide representation quality than different high-end TVs and successful my acquisition are already plentifulness agleam for astir lighting environments. Every spot -- er, nit -- of brightness helps, however, particularly successful agleam rooms and with HDR TV shows and movies, and possibly the G3 volition lucifer oregon surpass the airy output of competing QD-OLED models from Sony and Samsung. They inactive won't attack mini-LED sets similar the Samsung QN90B and Hisense U8H though, which tin get much than doubly arsenic agleam arsenic immoderate OLED TV. LG doesn't notation higher brightness for different models including the C3.

None of the different improvements LG teased are what I would telephone major. The TVs person a caller "α9 AI Processor Gen6," but successful my past tests amended processing has been pugnacious to discern. The institution besides gave the G3 a plan that hugs the partition adjacent person than before, "leaving nary disposable gap" erstwhile wall-mounted. The company's astute TV system, which I don't like, has been tweaked to adhd amended categorization, personalized recommendations and "a enactment of trending content," according to the property release.

The LG G3 has improved brightness and mounts much flush to the wall.

LG besides says its 2023 OLED TVs volition beryllium the archetypal to beryllium certified by the HDMI enactment for Quick Media Switching VRR, which "can destruct the momentary 'black screen' that sometimes occurs erstwhile switching betwixt contented played from antithetic root devices connected via the TV's HDMI 2.1a compliant ports." This (again minor) diagnostic is intended for video playback arsenic opposed to gaming and requires a QMS-VRR root instrumentality -- the Apple TV 4K is getting enactment soon, for example.

For the past mates of years, LG's OLED TVs, specifically the "C" models, person delivered the champion representation prime for the wealth among high-end TVs, and I expect the C3 to erstwhile again vie for that honor. That said, the LG C2 from 2022 continues to beryllium my favorite, and nary of the improvements truthful acold look important capable for maine to urge waiting for a C3.

LG did not denote circumstantial sizes, prices oregon availability for its 2023 OLED TVs though the G3 and Z3 volition undoubtedly outgo much than the C3. The institution typically doesn't denote pricing connected its TVs until spring, erstwhile they get successful stores. Meanwhile, I expect to person much information, arsenic good arsenic hands-on impressions of the caller models, successful the adjacent fewer days arsenic CES gets underway.
