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.

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.

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

We mentioned it in a previous post, the LG OLED 2023 TVs adopt the latest version of webOS. This redesigned user interface offers a multitude of customization options and improved ergonomics. The new thumbnail shortcuts give users quick and easy access to the content and services they use the most. They are grouped into several categories such as Home Office, Gaming, Music and Sports. Several accounts can be created, allowing all users to benefit from personalized recommendations. These adapt to their preferences based on viewing history and habits.

As a buyer and seller of second-hand high-tech products for around ten years before joining Son-Vidéo.com in 2007, I had the opportunity to test a variety of amplifiers, speakers, headphones, TVs, projectors and DAPs... Passionate about films and series, music and new technologies, I'm particularly fond of the worlds of TV, video projection and home theater. I like to watch films with my family on the big screen, either at the movie theater or at home, but I also enjoy listening to music on a good hi-fi system, sat in a comfy armchair or on a walk with a pair of headphones.
