The LG G3 OLED is the best LG TV and the best LG OLED TV we've tested. It's a premium TV with a unique design. Instead of a traditional stand, it comes with a no-gap wall mount, so it blends into your surrounding environment well. Additionally, its Gallery Mode feature is designed to look like a piece of art while it isn't in use as a regular TV. It uses a technology called Micro Lens Array, or MLA, making it one of the brightest OLEDs on the market; this is one of the few OLEDs that looks great in very bright rooms. It's a fantastic home theater TV due to its very good image processing, Dolby Vision HDR support, and advanced DTS audio format passthrough. Ultimately, the G3 can do it allat veryhigh levels of brightness.

Like most LG TVs, the G3 has a great selection of additional gaming features, including support for 4k @ 120Hz gaming on all four of its HDMI ports, so it's a perfect choice for PS5 or Xbox Series X|S gamers. It also supports all three major variable refresh rate (VRR) technologies, ensuring a nearly tear-free gaming experience from almost any source. Like all OLED displays, it has a near-instantaneous response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion with no distracting blur behind fast-moving objects. The TV is available in four sizes: 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches; however, the biggest size doesn't have MLA, so it's not as bright as the smaller models.

2024's LG G4 OLED is also now available. It gets a bit brighter in HDR, so bright highlights in HDR content pop a little bit more. It also maintains its brightness better while in Game Mode, so you don't have to trade in brightness for the best performance. Unfortunately, it's very expensive near its release date, and since the upgrades it offers are quite minor overall, you're better off buying the G3 while it's on sale. The one exception isthe 83-inch model of the G4, which now uses MLA technology like the smaller sizes for better brightness. If you want a huge top-of-the-line LG OLED and don't want to sacrifice brightness, the G4 is a better option than the G3.

If you don't need the absolute best LG OLED TV or prefer saving money, there are a few upper mid-range and mid-range OLEDs to consider, like the LG C3 OLED. Although it gets less bright than the LG G3 OLED, it's still a great alternative, especially if you aren't interested in that TV's unique wall-mount feature and instead want a normal stand. Of course, like all OLED displays, it delivers incredible picture quality, with a near-infinite contrast ratio that provides perfectly deep inky blacks, with no distracting blooming around bright spots in dark scenes. Overall, it has very good image processing and supports Dolby Vision HDR and advanced DTS audio formats, making it an excellenthome theater TV.

Like the G3, it's an incredible TV for gamers with a near-instantaneous response time that delivers crystal-clear motion. It supports HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four inputs, meaning you can enjoy fast 4k @ 120Hz gaming from the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 or a recent PC graphics card. It runs the 2023 version of LG's webOS interface, which is smooth and easy to use, and there's a great selection of streaming apps available to download. The cherry on top is the sheer number of sizes you can buy the C3 in; from a small 42 inches to a very large 83 inches, there's something for everyone.

The 2024 LG C4 OLED is alsoavailable to purchase.It supports up to 4k @ 144Hz and gets a bit brighter in HDR than the C3. Unfortunately,it also has a noticeable green tint when viewed from an angle, so the C3 is better for use in a group setting. Unless you want those very minor upgrades and can live with the green tint, you're better off getting the cheaper LG C3 OLED while it's on sale.

If you'd like an OLED but don't need four HDMI 2.1 ports or high HDR peak brightness, the LG B3 OLED is a great mid-range TV and can serve as an excellent entry point into the OLED market. The TV has most ofthe features of the more expensive LG C3 OLED, but the B3 is dimmer and has only two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports. It still delivers outstanding picture quality, especially in a dark room, withitsnear-infinite contrast ratio delivering deep, inky blacks with no distracting blooming. The B3 is available in a more narrow range of sizes when compared to the more expensive LG: 55, 65, and 77 inches.

Like the C3, this TVhas a wide color gamut and is extremely accurate without any calibration, so movies look as the content creator intended. This TV is also great for gaming, with its two HDMI 2.1ports offering up to4k @ 120Hz support. It is compatible with every VRR technology, has a fantastic response time, and extremely low input lag. It also has Dolby Vision HDR, supports DTS advanced audio formats, and has very good image processing, making it a fantastic mid-range home theater OLED. Finally, it runs the same greatwebOS smartinterface as the more expensive models, which is stillsmooth and easy to use on this model.

The LG B4 OLED is now available. It has improvements like better overall brightness and HDR gradient handling, and LG has increased the number of HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports to four. The B4 isalso available in a new 48-inch model, which is great for small rooms. Unfortunately, it's currently very expensive, so unless you want those upgrades, you're better off getting the B3 while it's on sale. If you want those upgrades or need a 48-inch model, you can get the LG C3 OLED for less than the cost of a B4.

If you'd rather get a cheap LED TV but don't want to lose out on features, the best lower mid-range LG TV we've tested is the LG QNED80 2023. It's not as good as the OLEDs, but it's cheaper and doesn't skimp on features. It doesn't support Dolby Vision like the OLEDs, but it supports DTS advanced audio formats like other 2023 LG models, which is great for physical media lovers as DVDs and Blu-rays often use DTS for their main audio tracks. It's also a fully featured gaming TV with two HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports capable of outputting up to 4k @ 120Hz. It supports every VRR technology, has a very good response time, and has a superbly low input lag.

By going with this model, you are losing out on picture quality, as this TV has terrible contrast, and its local dimming is very poor overall, so the TV looks better with it off. Still, it's a colorful TV with a wide color gamut. It's accurate without any calibration, is bright enough to look good in a moderately lit room, and has a wide viewing angle, so you're getting a pleasant viewing experience overall. It's available in five sizes: 50, 55, 65, 75, and a huge 86-inch model. This TV's predecessor, the LG QNED80 2022, is nearly identical, but it lacks DTS audio support and is a bit dimmer.

Although we don't know specific detailsabout the LG QNED80 2024, LG's 2024 QNED lineup will include an upgradedprocessor that brings some new features and is supposed to improve overall picture and sound quality. These improvements will likely be incremental, so you're better off getting the cheaper QNED80 2023 while it's on sale.

LG offers two different lineups targeted at those looking for a budget-friendly TV: the NANO lineup, which has the LG NANO75 2022, and the cheaper entry-level lineup, which includes the LG UR9000, the best budget LG TV we've tested. There's little difference between this TV and the NANO Series TVs, except that the UR9000 can't accurately display as many colors. However, it comes with the same smart interface and the same Magic Remote that makes menu navigation feel smooth. This TV's predecessor, the LG UQ9000, is similar overall but is now hard to find brand new.

Otherwise, this TV is available in different sizes, from a small 43-inch to a big 75-inch. Sadly, this TV, like the LG QNED80 2023, isn't good for use in dark rooms, which is typical of most non-OLED LG TVs, as they have a low contrast ratio, and blacks look gray. It doesn't get very bright in SDR either, but it at least has good reflection handling if you have a few lights around in your room. It's also light on features, with no Dolby Vision or DTS audio format support, and is limited to HDMI 2.0 on all its ports. Still, it's by far the cheapest TV on this list and has a wide viewing angle, so it's a great choice as a cheap TV that you can watch while moving around your house.
