In addition, there is a brand-new version of the webOS platform, with more smart functions and services. Finally, the Korean manufacturer is the first to adopt QMS technology on its HDMI 2.1 ports. Here is a quick overview of the new features offered on the LG OLED TV 2023 range.
New α9 AI Gen6 processor
The all-new Alpha processor uses LG’s most sophisticated AI-assisted deep learning technology. The guarantee of an exceptional image and sound quality. AI Picture Pro now offers improved upscaling for better clarity. Dynamic tone mapping is also optimized to reveal the depth and detail of each image. AI Picture Pro also incorporates image processing technology that detects and refines important elements, such as people’s faces, to give them a more vivid HDR quality. In addition to refining the image, the α9 AI Gen6 processor powers LG’s AI Sound Pro feature. Viewers can enjoy highly immersive “virtual” 9.1.2 surround sound from the TV’s speakers.
Brightness Booster Max technology
The LG OLED G3 2023 range incorporates Brightness Booster Max technology with a new light control architecture. Light amplification algorithms have also been improved to increase brightness by up to 70%.1 Brightness is mapped and controlled on a pixel-by-pixel basis, resulting in sharper, more realistic images.
The LG OLED G3 2023 series also gets an aesthetic upgrade called the ultra-seamless One Wall Design.2 Leaving no visible space when mounted on the wall, the LG OLED G3s fit into a living room with style and elegance.
Respect for the environment
LG OLED 2023 TVs are more environmentally friendly than their predecessors. Since they don’t have backlighting, the production of each TV requires fewer materials than a conventional LED TV. Many components are made from recycled plastics and TVs are shipped in environmentally friendly packaging. The latter are made from recyclable materials and have a monochrome print. All LG 2023 OLED TVs are also certified as low blue light by the independent TÜV Rheinland agency and flicker-free by UL Solutions.
New webOS 23 interface
