LG G4 vs LG G3: Which OLED TV is Better?

The LG G4 OLED TV could be the best TV in 2024, but how does it compare to the LG G3 OLED? I’m going to put the two side-by-side in a head-to-head to see which is better, what the differences are and if it’s really worth the upgrade.

Who's got an OLED? Let me know what you're using.

[@annconlon4468]

I'm using a Samsung KS8000 65" bought in 2017, still going strong in 2024.

[@user-pu2ro8ok3r]

I have a 14 year old LG 47LD550 FULL HD LCD TV, and it still works well

[@curiosityredpill7030]

No Oled only Qled 😅

[@curiosityredpill7030]

Can you compare a top of the line Qled vs Oled gaming

[@ALions26]

I just got a 4K 120HZ QLED TV. It’s really good.

[@Adrianek81]

Its no point change tv every year,better wait 4-6 years for really better features,brightness etc🔥

[@JAMJAM2020_YT]

Yeah. You would lose a lot of money if you did change TVs ever year.

[@kabez204]

Yeah there really isn't no point

[@SpawnPoiint]

I guess it depends if you see a benefit to the changes. I agree though that every year (like we do with phones) is excessive for most, unless there's one change (like brightness/screen coating/gaming features) that stands out to you personally.

[@Adrianek81]

@@SpawnPoiint yeah agree✌️

[@CaptainScorpio24]

exactly min is 5 6 yrs or max 10 11 yrs till the TV survives. intex 1st 40 inch lcd which was launched in 2010 and we bought in 2010... last upto 2021.. it was built like a tank . LCD has no market now... only Led exist . so we did not able to get it repaired . . its inverter chip was unavailable in our whole market

Great video, and like you said you can definitely tell the difference in brightness between the two. It was really noticeable on the Venom still that the G4 was brighter, you could see more of the detail pop!

Great choice man!

[@bilalbiriri6596]

Both tvs are very very similar while watching content because the peak brightness improvements are incrimental. But for gaming they are night and day because Lg now implemented their colour boosting algorithm into game mode ( all other Lg Tvs dont use the panels full potential in game mode which has been a well known problem for years )

I got an insane deal at Best Buy for the 77" G3 which was only $2,200, and I could not pass the opportunity. Great video!

My 2015 65" Samsung is still working strong... apart from an annoying compatibility issue with the Vizio 5-channel speakers creating intermittent gaps in audio when playing certain KZbin videos (gaps that aren't available when switching to the TV speakers). I'll save that money for a MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED (if I can FIND one)!!

[@lipingpang]

Hey there, you mentioned you selling your older tvs, do you have a place to sell in the uk? I’ve got a G2 77 and i’d think to upgrade, but obviously i’d sell my g2 first. Thanks for the answer 😉 good vids keep up the good work bud…

[@user-hu1sj1zx7i]

Thank you for the review. Your channel deserves support. Can you remove a video from TV settings?

[@danielunderwood5217]

FeaturesI'd like to see: 1. Build your own homescreen. Make it more like android where you can resize and move apps, cards, ads, etc. 2. A wider set of mounting points added would be nice. I just ordered the G3 77", and I would like to put it on a stand/eet that put the feet much closer to the outside edges to make room for a center channel or sound bar underneath (as opposed to out in front of the LG base, or on a shelf below. 3. A smart, home theater setup feature would be cool. One where you enter in the types and/or model numbers of your soundboard, receiver, apple tv/roku/etc, game consoles, etc. and then based on what's in your system, and maybe some questions about preferences, it will tell you how to connect them all together for the best picture, sound, and performance. It could show wiring configurations on the screen, as well as the ports 4. Detachable/replaceable cord 5. If the tv could control led backlight straps it would be awesome. What I am imagining is a strip of LEDs that plug into the TV's USB. Then the tv controls the color of the backlight based on what is on the screen. There are backlight kits with a camera that look at the screen, and use that to control the lights, but I feel like the tv could easily send that information out of a USB to the light source.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Some solid suggestions there, I like those!

[@baselluke]

@@SpawnPoiint so would you say yes for upgrade? I mean the AI features aren't bad

[@GGP337]

If you need to upgrade, the s90c is really cheap (£750 for 55") especially if you can get age or student discounts. QD-Oled panel tech is much better than MLA woled but the G3 has better upscaling and motion and processing. The G3 can't do reds properly though. If you get either make sure you tweak the settings to your liking they will both look amazing. Same with the CX although there is a quite a noticeable difference between the CX and the s90c/g3. All presets by any company suck, they follow 30 year old standards and look really dull and grey. My monitor is a AW2725df QD-Oled and I have a G3 and a CX and the colour vibrancy on the monitor matches the G3 though the G3 is better because it has a proper processer and is much brighter. Yellows and reds are superior on the Alienware monitor but it loses to LG on blues. I'd guess the s90c would do much better than my monitor.
