LG OLED evo G3 65-inch (OLED65G36LA)

The G3 is LG’s 2023 flagship OLED TV designed to sit flush on the wall. In 55, 65 and 77 inches it has the brighter panel LG calls Brightness Booster Max, the α9 Gen6 processor, 4K 120 Hz on four HDMI 2.1 inputs and 60 W 4.2-channel sound. Independent testing measured it among the brightest OLEDs to that date; a table stand is not included.

OLED65G36LA: the 65-inch G3, UK/European model; it comes with the One Wall bracket rather than a stand, which is sold separately. The North American OLED65G3PUA is from the same series; the 83-inch G3 uses a different panel. The C3 and G4 are separate models.

Strengths and limitations

  • In TechRadar’s 65-inch test, Filmmaker HDR mode measured 1449 nits on a 10% window, the brightest OLED they had tested, confirming LG’s 70% claim. Full-screen brightness measured 219 nits, below the Samsung S95C’s 265 nits. Average Delta E was just under three and DCI-P3 coverage 98%. The anti-glare screen handled bright room lights well. With four HDMI 2.1 ports, 120 Hz Dolby Vision gaming and the Game Dashboard it was rated very strong for gaming; webOS 23 is cleaner than before. Built-in sound is decent but a sound system was recommended, and the lack of a table stand in the box was criticised. The review notes that the 83-inch G3 uses a different panel that does not reach this brightness.
