RATING
LG’S NEW G2 OLED evo Gallery Edition is the replacement for last year’s G1 and the flagship offering in LG’s 2022 OLED lineup—excluding the $100,000 OLED R(ollable) model, which sits in a class all by itself. Like the G1 we reviewed in the December 2021/January 2022 issue, the G2 is designed to hug the wall and features a Gallery mode that, if selected, can display a revolving range of still images and artwork when it’s not being used as a television. The set ships with only a slim wall-mount bracket but LG offers a conventional tabletop stand for $100 and, if you want a full-on Louvre vibe, an easel-like Gallery Stand for an extra $350.
The G2 series is currently available in four screen sizes: 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches. A 97-inch model was shown at the 2022 CES in January, but LG has yet to announce pricing or availability. According to the spec sheet for the 65-inch model we tested, G2s sold in the U.S. market are made in Mexico, but the sample LG shipped to us said Made in Korea on its rear panel.
FEATURES
The “evo” technology introduced in some of LG’s 2021 models has been further refined for 2022. While both the C2 and G2 series claim enhanced brightness over LG’s 2021’s OLEDs, only the G2 adds an aluminum heat sink to the back of the display
