I have upgraded from the very good LG 65C2 to the even better LG 65G3. Despite being slimmer the G3 is heavier and exudes quality.
I have been running the G3 a week before writing my comments. The picture quality is incredible. I do not understand the new MLA technology but the brightness when needed is on another level and picture uniformity is excellent. The different picture settings cover my needs and I don’t see a requirement to have the screen calibrated professionally.
LG are masters of OLED technology and if you have not moved to OLED yet you need to see it to appreciate the difference. Black is absolutely black unlike on LED. In a dark room with the tv on with a black screen you can not tell it is even turned on.
The Web OS is good but I mostly use Apple TV 4K and Virgin. I probably wouldn’t buy an AppleTV new though as the TV apps would be enough.
Internal sound I don’t really use as like many with a tv of this quality I have a cinema surround sound system. But it is fine for everyday use and there are matching LG soundbar options for a sleek looking upgrade if you want.
The tv is incredibly thin throughout and comes with a clever wall mount, and if you do wall mount it can look almost like a picture on the wall, with a thin metal looking edged bezel. There is an app to display artwork and you can use the tv in ‘semi-off’ mode for this. I am using the tv on a VESA swivel tabletop stand. It is a shame there is not an option to choose either a wallmount or tabletop stand option, but that is a minor thing overall.
Unboxing - i was able to unbox the G3 and fit the VESA mount myself. With the mount on I had a second person help me lift it up to its final position.
Other small points to mention - it seems strange the power cable plug is wired in, especially for a wall mount model. And for such a premium model LG could offer a more premium back lit remote.
Overall these do not take away from the quality of the product, as at the end I of the day it is a tv and it is the picture quality that is the biggest factor. So yes I am delighted with my G3 and it earns a 5 star review from me.
