LG OLED G4 review: the brightness gap is closing
The MLA panel pushes OLED brightness high enough that the "too dim for daytime" complaint is basically over. Our score: 9 / 10 Bright enough for a real living room The G4 uses LG’s Micro Lens Array panel, and it is bright, bright enough that a sunlit room is no longer a problem for an OLED. You still get perfect blacks, per-pixel contrast, 144Hz for PC gaming and four HDMI 2.1 ports. The one practical note The G-series ships with a flush "Gallery" wall mount and no feet in the box in some regions (feet are a separate purchase). Plan your setup around that. The good and the bad What works MLA panel is genuinely bright for an OLED Perfect blacks and per-pixel contrast 144Hz, four HDMI 2.1 ports Excellent processing What doesn’t No stand in the box in some regions Still dimmer than premium mini-LED for HDR highlights Premium price Who it’s for Buy it if you want the best all-round picture for film and gaming and your room has some ambient light. Skip it if your room is extremely bright all day, where a mini-LED set may suit better. Alternatives worth a look Sony Bravia 9, brighter mini-LED, less perfect blacks. LG OLED C4, cheaper, slightly dimmer, same core tech. The verdict: The enthusiast pick, and the brightness objection is now mostly retired. Sources LG
