Our Verdict
LG G3 OLED
LG G4 OLED
The LG G4 OLED and the LG G3 OLED are very similar TVs overall, but the G4 is a bit better. The G4 gets brighter in HDR, so highlights stand out more on it, and it also maintains its brightness much better in Game Mode, so you don't have to trade in performance if you don't want a decrease in brightness. On top of that, the G4 has better HDR native gradient handling, so there is less banding in colors, and it supports 144Hz, so it's better for PC gamers looking to take advantage of their high-end graphics cards.

LG G3 OLED vs LG G4 OLED: Main Discussion
What do you think of these products? Let us know below.
Looking for a personalized buying advice from the RTINGS.com experts? Insiders have direct access to buying advice on our insider forum.
I’ll echo what RtingsUser8394277 said. The G3 isn’t on our newest test bench, so the scores and some text aren’t comparable between the two TVs.
They recently updated their testing methodology, so that is why the scores are different.
Which rating aligns to the verdict? The overall usage rating is higher on the G3, but the verdict states that the G4 is better. What is the rationale for the variance?
Hi, I have the 77 in G3 and I noticed the red color is skewed toward Orange. I also own a CX and C2 where both have a nice deep darker red. I am wondering if you guys have the same red color as me in the G3 and also how is the red color on the G4 compared to G3. These are out of the box color and it is the same on all color mode. Thanks. I really like the red color on the C2 and CX than the G3. On the G3 it’s too much on the Orange side. I’m thinking of getting the G4 if the red color is the same as on the C2.
