LG OLED evo OLED83G3PUA 83"

The LG G3 83-inch OLED is a stunning TV with top-tier picture quality and gaming performance. The flush wall mount and 5-year warranty are big pluses. Just don't expect the built-in speakers to impress, and be ready to pay a premium for the size.

The picture quality here is a standout, landing in the 88th percentile in our database. The Brightness Booster Max pushes this panel to 700 nits, which is bright enough to fight off glare in most rooms. HDR performance is even better, sitting in the 93rd percentile. Dolby Vision content looks incredible, with the infinite contrast you expect from OLED. Gaming is a strong point too, with 120Hz, VRR, G-SYNC, FreeSync, and ALLM all on board. Input lag is low and motion is buttery smooth. The weakest link is the audio. The 2.2 channel setup with Dolby Atmos is fine for casual viewing, but it's a 71st percentile performer. Dialogue can get lost in busy scenes, and there's no real bass to speak of.

Against the Samsung QN990F, the LG G3 trades blows. Samsung's QD-OLED gets brighter and has better color volume, but the LG's flush mount design and Dolby Vision support give it an edge for movie lovers. The Sony BRAVIA 9 K85XR90 is a mini-LED that gets much brighter, but it can't match the G3's perfect blacks and viewing angles. The TCL QM8K and Hisense U8 are budget-friendly alternatives that offer impressive brightness for the money, but they lack the OLED contrast and the premium build quality. If you want the best OLED picture in a huge size, the G3 is hard to beat. If you want maximum brightness for a bright room, the Sony or Samsung might be better fits.

At $5,177 USD, this is a serious investment. You're paying for the size, the brightness, and the gallery design. The 5-year panel warranty helps justify the cost, and the picture quality is genuinely top-tier. But you'll likely want to add a soundbar, which pushes the total cost even higher. If you have the budget and the wall space, it's worth it. If you're stretching, a smaller OLED or a high-end mini-LED might get you 90% of the experience for less money.

The LG G3 is the kind of TV that makes you reconsider your living room layout. This 83-inch OLED evo panel gets seriously bright for an OLED, and the flush wall mount design means it basically disappears into your wall when it's off. The a9 AI Processor Gen6 handles upscaling and motion like a champ, and the 5-year panel warranty takes some of the sting out of the price tag.

But let's be real, this thing is massive and heavy. At 46,901 grams, you're not hanging this solo. And while the picture is stunning, the built-in audio is just okay. Plan on a soundbar if you want audio that matches the visuals.

Skip this if you're on a budget or if you need a TV for a very bright room with lots of direct sunlight. The G3 is bright for an OLED, but a high-end mini-LED like the Sony BRAVIA 9 will fight glare better. Also skip it if you don't want to deal with the size and weight, or if you're not planning to wall mount it. The flush mount design is a big part of the appeal, and it's wasted on a stand.

Buy this if you want a massive, gorgeous OLED that doubles as wall art. It's perfect for movie buffs and gamers who want the best picture quality in a huge format. The flush mount design is a genuine differentiator, and the 5-year warranty provides real peace of mind. Just budget for a soundbar and maybe a friend to help with installation.
