LG recently announced its latest addition, the LG OLED G4, at CES 2024, adding a new iteration to the G series. While the G4 promises significant improvements, it’s inevitable to compare its features with those of its predecessor, the LG OLED G3 from the previous year. Let’s delve into the key differences and similarities between these two technological gems.
Key differences between the LG OLED G4 and the LG OLED G3
AI processing: G4 to the next level
The LG OLED G4 raises the bar when it comes to processing power by incorporating the Alpha 11 chipset, offering a spectacular 70% increase in graphics performance and 30% faster processing speed compared to the G3. This significant advance promises more powerful AI scaling, ideal for improving the visual quality of content, particularly cinematic classics.
11.1.2 Virtual Surround Sound: an enriched audio experience
One of the criticisms of the G3 was its audio quality, often prompting users to invest in an external sound bar. However, the LG OLED G4 addresses this shortcoming with impressive 11.1.2 virtual surround sound. Compared to the G3, which offered a 9.1.2 configuration, the G4 offers a significant improvement in the integrated audio experience, making the use of the default speakers more complementary to the picture quality.
Available sizes: The G4 expands to 97 inches
One notable physical difference is the addition of a new size to the LG OLED G4, now available in four variants: 97 inches, 83 inches, 77 inches (a common size with the G3), and the standard 65-inch model. This extension to 97 inches underlines LG’s ambition to position the G4 as a luxury product for home cinema enthusiasts looking for an immersive experience.
Conclusion: A choice between luxury and technical excellence
While the LG OLED G4 shares some key features with the G3, notable improvements in AI processing, virtual surround sound, and the variety of sizes available make the G4 an attractive option for those seeking the ultimate viewing experience. For G3 owners, upgrading will depend on the importance placed on these new features and the screen size desired. The LG OLED G4 promises significant refinement for high-end technology enthusiasts.
