To help, you’ll find the latest, lowest prices for both models below.If you’re familiar with the design of the G2 you can probably go right ahead and skip to the next section, because the G3 looks more or less identical to its predecessor.

Those looking for a new TV right now have a much more obvious value decision to make. That isn’t to say that over course of its life the G3 won’t hit the same sort of prices that the G2’s available for right now, but there’s certainly a chance that it won’t. That’s not simply because the G3 is brand new and the G2 has been out for a year (though that is obviously true), but because the G3 has launched at a higher price than the G2 did. Downgrade #3: it's more expensiveĪn obvious one but one we can’t help but point out: the G3 is more expensive than the G2. You might think that that sounds logical, and of course shadowy colours should be less vibrant than bright ones, but the slight greyness the G3 exhibits looks unnatural at times, particularly next to the G2, which looks more consistent through different lighting conditions (very bright areas notwithstanding).

This is most noticeable in (though not unique to) skin tones: as a character moves from light to dark, their face takes on a rather pallid complexion. While the G3 has surprised a lot of people by providing bright colours with lovely punch and vibrancy, it somewhat ironically produces colours in darker areas in a slightly pale fashion. To be clear, the G3’s sound is perfectly passable for everyday TV content and dialogue clarity is decent, but this is still a peculiar misstep on the part of LG.
#Lg g3 recent menu movie#
Detail and dynamics are roughly the same as before, but there’s no impact or punch to sound effects and that robs movie soundtracks of almost all excitement.Īdding to this dullness is a comparative reduction in bass weight and depth, yet despite this the woofers can still be provoked into distortion by loud, bassy soundtracks. LG appears to have set out to make the sound smoother than before, but it’s only really succeeded in making it dull. Onto the ways in which the G3 is worse than the G2, and audio quality is the big one. We rather wish that the row of Quick Cards was slightly less prominent than it is now and we’d like to see the home screen’s promotional banner at least reduced in size, but this is still a step in the right direction for webOS. By grouping related bits and pieces into named folders, they don’t clog up the home screen but they are still easy to find when you want them, and the whole system is snappier and more responsive than before. So where have all of the extra apps and features gone? Into folders, which LG calls ‘Quick Cards’. That’s because the multi-page layout of the G2, which could be a bit sluggish as you scrolled down, has been reduced to just two pages for the G3. Scroll down a few pages though and, well, you can’t. There are rumours that this fix might also be coming to last year’s sets, such as the G2, but this hasn’t been confirmed.Īt first glance, the G3’s webOS 23 seems very similar to the G2’s webOS 22. The good news is that this has been fixed for the G3 and those dark scenes remain consistent throughout. This auto-dimming feature is rarely a problem, but in some prolonged dark scenes (think of the long desert section towards the end of Dune) it can get confused and dim the screen to the extent that it’s almost impossible to see what’s going on. Most of these features are unobtrusive and can be turned off if the user prefers, but previous LG OLEDs, including the G2, have a secret auto-dimming feature that can, from time to time, prove bothersome, and that can only be turned off by delving into the Service Menu and invalidating your warranty. In order to make sure that doesn’t happen during the usual lifespan of the set, every manufacturer includes features that are designed to protect them. OLED TVs use organic materials that by their very nature will degrade over time.
