As with its earlier siblings, the G3 has a design optimized for wall mount applications and by default it comes with a bracket not a stand. You can buy an optional tabletop stand, that's what I used. The table stand tilts the TV backward slightly and offers no rotation. It is solid, immobile and sturdy. There's also an easel-like floor stand option available for $350.
Why the wall-mount-focus? It's intrinsic to the design. This OLED is thin and will mount flush to a wall with it's near-gapless design. As in the older G1 and G2, the G3 offers a Gallery mode. The latter displays a revolving range of still-image art when not showing other types of content.
The G3 series is currently available in four screen sizes: 55, 65, 77, and 83 inches. The rear panel on our sample indicated that it was made in Korea. The G2 we reviewed last year was made in Mexico. It's entirely possible that most G3s for the North American market will also be made in Mexico. These days, however, "Made in XXX" almost invariably means "Assembled in XXX." The individual components of any TV (the panel, processor, or other subcomponents) can arrive at the assembly plant from almost anywhere.
All of LG's OLEDs, including the G3, are WRGB. Until recently all OLED sets added white elements to the RGB for increased brightness. To put it simply, they aren't QD-OLEDs, the latter now available in the flagship OLEDs from Samsung and Sony. QD-OLEDs employ Quantum Dots and no white pixels, which is said to improve color saturation at very high brightness levels. But it could be argued that the visible differences between WRGB OLEDS and QD-OLEDs, everything else being equal, will be subtle on most source material. We haven't yet experienced a head-to-head shootout between an LG WRGB OLED and a new QD-OLED. In any event, LG's G3 OLED counterpunches with unique and potent benefits of its own.

The Big Clean
Chances are you probably do not think about the state of your electronic devices too often. Oh, you might think about all the upgrades you would like to make; where you would put those new tower speakers, or how a second or third subwoofer would really tame those bass modes in your room, or how much more cinematic a larger screen would be. Sure, you think about that part of your system. But how often do you think about the well-being of your system?

Bridging the Analog-Digital Gap on a Recliner
When I shopped for a motorized recliner, I rejected models with their own Internet Protocol address and built-in speakers. No need. I had already placed a smart speaker on an étagère beside the space where I had planned to put the chair. I'd have a smartphone in my hand and the room would be bathed in Wi-Fi.
