Some features of LG’s next OLED TVs have leaked, with nice improvements in brightness, but not only that!
LG is one of the most influential TV brands. Not only because its models are among the best on the market every year, but also because LG Display supplies the Oled panels used by most of its competitors.
When LG adopts a new trend, all eyes are obviously on its screens. And according to rumors, this is what should happen at the start of 2024.
Ultra-bright TVs for gaming
The crux of the matter on Oled is brightness. In recent years, manufacturers have been increasing their ingenuity to correct the main problem with this screen technology: its lack of brightness compared to an LCD panel.
According to information on the site IT House, LG’s G4 series would incorporate a new generation of MLA technology to significantly improve the brightness of its screens. Thus, the peak brightness might reach 3000 nits. For comparison, the LG OLED G3 goes up to 2000 nits on paper (in Vivid mode) and we measured 1430 cd/m² in Filmmaker mode.
Another intriguing new feature: the LG C4 (and therefore a priori the LG G4 as well since it is more advanced) would be equipped with a panel with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. Traditionally, televisions go up to 120 Hz, to align with the HDMI 2.1 standard found on current generation consoles. Going to 144 Hz is therefore aimed more at PC gamers.
Finally, LG should – as usual – improve its processing processor and move from Alpha 9 Gen 6 to Alpha 10. The improvement would be made in the processing of the NPU and in particular the recognition of objects and scenes to adapt the image on the fly. The quality of HDR management and upscaling might also be affected.
For now, these are still only rumors, but we should learn more regarding this new generation of televisions at CES 2024 next January.
