From The Verge: A year ago, LG released its brightest OLED TVs yet, and in doing so, the company overcame one of the long-held downsides of the panel technology: they were finally suitable for bright, sunny rooms. Rtings called 2023’s G3 OLED “an outstanding TV with no real weaknesses,” and many other reviews praised it as one of the best TVs ever released. LG also used CES 2023 to introduce its first “wireless” TV, the Signature OLED M, which receives content from a Zero Connect box that can be positioned discreetly in the same room.
So while last year brought pretty major technical upgrades, for 2024, LG is shifting its focus to AI and smaller, iterative changes. But the improvements are still meaningful. Across the OLED TV lineup, LG now supports variable refresh rates up to 144Hz (up from 120Hz), which will be welcome news for PC gamers. The new G4 series brings the company’s Micro Lens Array technology, the secret sauce behind the G3’s significantly brighter picture, to a larger 83-inch screen size for the first time. Meanwhile, the 2024 OLED M line is adding a smaller 65-inch model for those who want the fancy wireless tech in a more modest size.
But the big theme this year is AI. LG’s new a11 processor, found in the M4 and G4 (but not the more mainstream C4 and B4), is said to offer “a 70 percent improvement in graphic performance and a 30 percent faster processing speed compared to its predecessor,” per the company’s press release.
