What owners think
The Word on the Street
The proof
Performance
What surprised us most is how this panel handles gaming. With four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports, it's a unicorn for gamers with multiple consoles and a PC. The 1ms response time and support for both NVIDIA G-SYNC and AMD FreeSync Premium mean motion is impossibly smooth, and the input lag is non-existent. It's not just a pretty face for movies, it's a legitimate 120Hz gaming monster that puts most dedicated monitors to shame.

vs Competition
The Samsung QN90B is the direct competitor most people cross-shop, and it's cheaper and slightly bigger at 85 inches. But it's a QLED, and the contrast and black levels simply can't touch the LG's OLED panel, even with Samsung's best processing. The Sony A95L is the real picture quality king with its QD-OLED panel, but it tops out at 77 inches and costs significantly more. For sheer size and that perfect wall-mount look, the G2 carves out a unique, compelling space.

Price
Value & Pricing
With prices swinging wildly from $1,980 to $3,737, you absolutely need to shop around. At the low end, this is a steal for an 83-inch OLED with this level of brightness and gaming chops. At the high end, you're getting into current-generation territory, and the value proposition crumbles. Find it for under $2,500 and you're getting one of the best big-screen deals out there.

Overview
The LG G2 83-inch is the TV you buy when you want a massive, stunning picture that practically melts into your wall. This is the 'Gallery Design' at its absolute best, and the one thing to know is that it gets brighter than any OLED we've tested from this generation, thanks to the Brightness Booster Max tech. It's a 2022 model, sure, but the picture processing from the α9 Gen5 AI Processor still holds up beautifully, making it a killer deal if you can find it at the right price.
Common Questions
Q: How does the power cord work with the flush wall mount?
The power cord connects to a recessed area on the back and is routed through channels in the mount to keep it hidden. It's a very clean setup, but the included cord is short, around 5 feet, so you'll likely need an outlet installed directly behind the TV for a truly seamless look.
Q: Can I use a different wall mount or pull it away from the wall?
The included mount is designed to sit completely flush. If you need to pull the TV out for access to louvers or cables, you'll want to ditch the included mount and buy a standard VESA 300x300 articulating wall mount instead.
Who Should Skip This
If you're putting this in a bright room with huge, uncovered windows, this isn't it. Go get a Samsung Neo QLED like the QN90B instead. The G2's glossy screen handles reflections well, but it can't fight direct sunlight like a high-end mini-LED panel can.
Verdict
If you have the wall space and can find it for a good price, buy this TV. The flush mount alone transforms a living room, and the combination of size, brightness, and gaming features is still top-tier. It's a statement piece that actually delivers on performance, and you won't feel like you're missing out on the latest tech.
