The G3 is LG’s only Oled TV to use the new Oled panel equipped with billions of microlenses to dramatically increase peak brightness. This panel also improves viewing angles and reflection processing. Is this enough to make it the best Oled TV on the market?
The LG 55G3 — the 55-inch (140 cm) version of the LG 65G3 that we tested — is quite simply the best TV tested to date in our laboratory. It combines all the advantages of Oled technology (contrast, precision, responsiveness, viewing angles) with the high brightness of a Mini-Led model. Even the anti-reflective filter is even more efficient. If we look closely, we find minor flaws, such as a lower colorimetric coverage compared to QD-Oled televisions, a stand sold as an option or even a fairly standard remote control. The fact remains that this television is currently the best for all uses (films, series, video games, TV and sport).

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Philips 55OLED908, 55-inch (140 cm) version of the 65OLED908 that we tested, is one of the best televisions on the market. It not only delivers an excellent quality image, with an Oled Meta panel which benefits from a very high light peak, but also an integrated soundbar for high-end audio. It also offers ambient lighting (Ambilight) exclusive to the brand, which further enhances immersion, and a powerful processor. In short, an ultra-versatile television, with which we ultimately have little to complain about.
