I tested the LG G4 and G3 OLED TVs side-by-side and the differences blew me away

The LG G4 OLED TV on a TV bench, with LG G3 OLED next to it on the floor, and both showing the same scene of Dua Lip in the movie Argylle.

When new TVs are announced each year, they come bearing claims of improved brightness, more discernible contrast and the classic line, “closer to what the director intended.” I often remain sceptical about such claims, and wait until I go eyes-on to make my own judgement. Of course a manufacturer is going to say its latest creation is the ‘best ever’ otherwise there’d be no need to take much notice of it, right? 

Reviews of new models pull from a reviewer’s memory and experience of a predecessor, and it’s not often we get to view two screens side by side, and especially not under the same conditions. But that’s exactly what I recently did when I had the LG G3 and G4 OLED TVs in my living room for a couple of weeks. I was gobsmacked by the differences.
