LG 83” M3 vs G5/G6 (upgrading from 65” QLED)
I’m upgrading from a 65” Samsung Q60R QLED to an 83” LG OLED and trying to decide between two options:
- LG 83” M3 (2023): about $3,400 USD
- LG 83” G5/G6: about $5,450 to $6,850 USD
(^ These are prices where I live, converted to USD)
The M3 is a very good deal (for me especially where I live), but the G5/G6 would cost almost twice as much. Money isn’t the main issue, but I’m trying to understand whether the difference is actually worth it in real-world use.
I know the newer G5/G6 should be brighter and have newer panel technology, processing, and better reflection handling. However, the M3 would still be a huge upgrade from my current 65” QLED, especially because I’d be moving to a much larger OLED.
For people who have compared these generations, would you pay the extra $2,000 to $3,400 for the G5/G6, or is the M3 already enough for movies (4K Blu Rays), and gaming (PS5 Pro, Series X, Switch 2), and general use?
I also have several HDMI devices, so the M3’s three HDMI ports versus four on the G5/G6 wouldn’t be enough either way. I’d probably use an HDMI 2.1 switch or sm
I’d love to hear real-world opinions, especially from anyone who upgraded from a 65” TV to an 83” OLED.
(Also I say G5/G6 since right now only G5 available where I live but G6 should be available here soon for same-ish prices as current G5)
