One prominent distinction between the LG G3 and LG B3 was their brightness levels. The LG G3 incorporates micro-lens-array (MLA) technology, claimed to enhance brightness by 150% compared to LG’s 2022 models. This difference was palpable, especially in highlighting colors and bright scenes involving daylight, where the G3 significantly outshone the B3. This contrast in brightness is not uncommon in the OLED TV landscape.
With the advent of QD-OLED (quantum dot OLED) technology introduced by Samsung in 2022, which combines OLED’s black levels and contrast with the brightness of QLED technology, the boundaries between OLED TV categories started to blur. This amalgamation reached its zenith with the release of Samsung’s S90C and S95C in 2023, showcasing remarkable brightness levels. The S95C, as the more premium model, outshone the S90C by a notable 300 nits, as one would anticipate.
However, concerning aspects like black levels, contrast, and color quality, the distinctions between premium and budget OLEDs become less pronounced. When observing demo reel footage featuring various landscapes, including city nightscapes and snowy woodlands, both the LG G3 and LG B3 exhibited impressive contrast and deep black levels. The B3, despite its budget label, held its own against the G3. While the G3 was notably brighter, the B3 offered genuine value in terms of picture quality.
In the realm of processors, the story remains intriguing. Consider the Sony A80L and Sony A95L, occupying opposite ends of the price spectrum. Surprisingly, they share the same Cognitive Processor XR. As a result, these TVs deliver strikingly similar performance, with distinctions primarily emerging in brightness and color range.
