G3 and HDMI 2.1 QMS are up to 70% brighter

LG just unveiled its A3, B3, C3, G3 and Z3 OLED displays for 2023. Let’s take a look at what’s new and what’s changed this year.

A few hours before the official announcement, LG Electronics Germany uploaded a blog post with LG’s new line of OLED TVs. These are A3, B3, C3, G3 and Z3.

What’s new for the 2023 generation?

These are among the best-selling TVs, in any case, certainly the most popular. It must be said that LG Electronics is in the same group as LG Display, the designer and manufacturer of OLED panels used by LG, Philips, Panasonic, etc. However, the difference is that LG is no longer the only company making OLED panels for TVs, because we will soon know the second generation of QD-OLED from a Samsung screen.

Let’s go back to this 2023 generation. We can sum up the new features pretty quickly: LG OLED G3 is now equipped with Max Brightness Booster to achieve significantly higher brightness. For the entire 2023 range, TVs benefit from an overhaul of webOS, but also from HDMI 2.1 QMS.

Brightness, brightness, brightness!

The Z3, G3 and C3 series of TVs continue to lead the 2023 LG OLED lineup. These three series feature LG OLED evo technology with the all-new processor AI Alpha 9 Gen6 4K. LG Electronics refers to ” Higher brightness and color accuracy, plus incredible clarity and detail..

As usual, the biggest change is the LG OLED evo G3 series packed with technology Max Brightness Boosterwhich includes a completely new architecture for light control, as well as light amplification algorithms to increase brightness up to 70%. These numbers must be verified in tests.

As a reminder, on LG OLED G2, we measured a peak brightness of 946 cd/m² for a 10% window (the LG 65G1 was measured at 785 cd/m²). The little subtlety here is just that 70% increase compared to LG OLED A3 and B3 (entry level).

It will also be necessary to distinguish the G3s in 55, 65 and 77 inches. LG promises differences in diagonal 83 and 97 inches, 30-40% brighter. An LG spokesperson said the G3’s maximum brightness will be in order 1800 nt And the “Maybe a little brighter with a lively setting “.

The LG Z3 (8K definition model) should peak at 1,350 nits (Vivid) while the C3 and B3 remain largely unchanged from last year’s C2 and B2 when it comes to brightness.

Note that LG Electronics has gone to great lengths with the G3, with an aesthetic makeover for a more elegant and elegant living room look: thanks to the One Wall design, there’s no visible space left after wall-mounting. One M3 model (available in 77, 83 and 97 inches) should also see the light of day during a Las Vegas show. This should take the characteristics of the G3, but with a remote box in order to transform all the TV’s connectors, in a custom piece of furniture for example.

There’s still no DTS support, but this year’s LG OLEDs can easily be connected to LG’s soundbar that delivers the soundsurroundExceptionally multi-channel with IMAX Enhanced powered by DTS:X.

none There are no new sizes for OLED bands This year, that means the B3 will be available in 55-77 inches, the C3 in 42-83 inches, the G3 in 55-97 inches, and the Z3 in 77 and 88 inches. Finally, there’s the entry-level A3 (up to 60Hz), in 48 and 77 inches.

HDMI 2.1 QMS and webOS 23

Other notable new features are HDMI 2.1 QMS and webOS 23. That’s all-new HDMI 2.1 QMS: Apple TV (2022) Also compatible. Essentially, QMS VRR prevents black screens that occur when switching between playing content at different frame rates. This happens when you switch from 24fps (24Hz) content such as a movie to broadcast TV content at 50fps (50Hz) or even 60fps (60Hz).

Finally, webOS 23 is also mentioned by LG Electronics. As a reminder, it is the home operating system that powers LG TVs. As usual, LG will not update older generations of LG TVs. So webOS 23 is reserved for the 2023 generation.

This year, LG promises a much simpler and faster interface. It’s now separated into two parts, but it still seems to integrate the Recommendation and Ads modules.

On the home screen, there’s a large carousel with partner-curated content, a row of user-customizable “Quick Cards,” and a row of installed apps. Quick Cards can open new sections like “Game”, “Music”, “Sport” and “Home Office”.

Sur le deuxième écran, il faut defiler vers le bas, vous trouverez le contenu en surbrillance des partenaires et une section « Now Streaming » avec des onglets pour Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+ et d’autres services de streaming avec lesquels LG s’ Arrive.
