The big talking point with the LG G3 is its new MLA technology. Put simply, this is a layer of billions of microscopic lenses (sometimes adorably referred to as ‘lenslets’) that are added to the panel in order to focus the light from the OLEDs themselves.
MLA can increase the light we see without the OLEDs themselves needing to produce any more light than they did before. This is important because over-stressing OLED materials is what can lead to image retention or burn-in. The G3 also features a heatsink that allows the OLEDs to be pushed brighter than they are in standard OLED TVs such as the C3, again without any increased risk of burn-in.
The G2 was already one of the brightest OLED TVs available, and the addition of MLA promises another big leap forward in this regard. How big? LG claims thatis capable of hitting a peak brightness figure of “roughly” 2040 nits in its Vivid mode, and 1470 nits in its more accurate Cinema preset. Last year’s G2 was capped at around 1000-nits in Cinema, so we are potentially looking at a huge increase in brightness. That extra brightness needs to come without sacrifices elsewhere, so as this is still OLED we are expecting perfect blacks and pixel-level contrast control too.
