How big? LG claims that the G3 is capable of hitting a peak brightness figure of "roughly" 2040 nits when in its HDR Vivid mode, and 1470 nits in its more accurate HDR Cinema preset. In summary, the G2 was already one of the brightest OLED TVs available, and the addition of MLA technology promises another big leap forward in this regard. The G3, like the G2, also features a heatsink that allows the OLEDs to be pushed brighter than they are in standard OLED TVs such as the C2 and C3, again without any increased risk of burn-in. This is important because over-stressing OLED materials is what can lead to image retention or burn-in. One of the key points here is that MLA can increase the light we see without the OLEDs themselves needing to produce any more light than they did before. Put simply, this is a layer consisting of billions of microscopic lenses (sometimes adorably referred to as 'lenslets') that are added to the panel in order to focus the light from the OLEDs themselves. The big talking point here is obviously the G3’s new MLA technology. With the set switched off, you can of course see some reflections on the screen, but they’re significantly less pronounced than those on the G2 and it’s very rare indeed that you’ll spot any when watching a movie or playing a game. That’s because it has a new and significantly more effective anti-reflective coating. The one difference that is visible when you have the G3 and G2 side-by-side is that the G3’s screen, when off, has a slight bronze tint. This remains as frustrating as ever, particularly as the official pedestal stand (seen in our photos) will almost certainly cost in the region of £100 / $150 / AU$300, although you could alternatively pick up a more affordable third-party stand that attaches to the set’s standard VESA mounting points. Said wall mount is included in the box but, as before, a tabletop stand is not. The stepped design to the edges that was introduced last year returns so that there’s a slight gap between the set’s edges and the wall even when using the so-called Zero Gap wall mount, but otherwise the set has a uniform thickness of just 2.4cm. 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.
