LG is preparing a new TV LG G3 OLED Evo, about which the manufacturer revealed several technical details. It should get technology in some diagonals MLA (Micro Lens Array) similar to e.g. Panasonic MZ2000. MLA is a technology that brings microscopic lenses in front of the pixels, which significantly increases the maximum brightness compared to classic OLEDs, LG refers to them as META displays. Along with that, we also have the Brightness Booster Max function, which helps with higher brightness with software games. This function can be found in the LG G3 in all sizes (it will not be in the LG C3).
While we know that all models should have software assistance, LG did not explicitly say which diagonals will also have the hardware one. So it didn’t say which versions will have MLA technology and which won’t, however it’s pretty clear from other statements. The 55″, 65″ and 77″ versions are supposed to have a 70% higher brightness compared to the previous generation, the 83″ version only 30% (so apparently it will not be the only MLA).
The maximum brightness of the G3 should reach 2040 nits, but this only applies to the HDR Vivid mode in the 3% window. HDR Cinema, which will probably be more common for watching movies thanks to a more natural presentation, promises 1470 nits, which is still a very high value and much higher than last year’s models. However, even here the value is only in a tiny 3% window. If you are interested in HDR Cinema on the entire surface, then know that the maximum brightness drops to 230 nits (a typical problem of OLED panels, as the game monitor test showed Gigabyte Aorus FO48Uwhere peak brightness dropped from more than 900 nits to 135).
