LG G3 OLED suddenly looks like the ultimate TV upgrade

LG has long been the champion when it comes to the best OLED TVs, but the Korean brand is taking things to the next level with its 2023 range, announced at CES 2023, with the LG G3 OLED sounding like the ultimate eye-catching model of the lot.

That's because the LG G3 OLED houses what LG calls 'Brightness Booster Max' technology, to deliver the brightest peaks that an OLED TV has ever been able to deliver. Just how bright are we talking? Beyond an alleged 2000 nits, according to sources, which would be roughly double that of the previous LG G2 OLED

What exactly is Brightness Booster Max technology though? It's LG's way of saying MLA, or Micro Lens Array, which is a tight-knit series of lenses across the panel used to ensure the light is focused towards the viewer. It can deliver more intense peaks, without affecting OLED's key benefit of each pixel being self-emissive to deliver the ultimate contrast, nor does it require more power for brighter results.

There's also a caveat for some LG G3 OLED models: the set will be available in 55-, 65-, 77-, 83- and 97-inch models. The last two of which won't include the MLA technology and, therefore, won't be as bright. Not that I suspect many people will be buying a 97-inch at vast expense, so at least the core model sizes will deliver on the boldest, brightest OLED image you're likely to see this year...
