LG G3,LG G4,Gaming TV

Here at Forbes, I blog about video games, tech hardware and pop culture. It's a blast! I've also contributed work to Retro Gamer, TechRadar, GamesRadar, Wired, plus several gaming and nostalgia books from publisher Scholastic.

So, I bought a 77-inch LG G3 almost exactly a year ago for a cool $4,300 and have been using it as my main gaming display ever since. It is, hands-down, the best gaming screen I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing on. Gather around, gamer children, and let me tell you why that is, precisely.

Bottom line is that the LG G3, with its brushed metal framing and inky black screen, looks astounding after being wall-mounted, and that’s before you even turn the thing on. It’s like a levitating glass portal to another dimension. A very pricey dimension, assuredly, but still. Not as pricey as the recently released LG G4, which I haven’t tried yet. One day soon, hopefully.

Four HDMI 2.1 ports is rather fantastic, by the way, but is it greedy to want a fifth these days? Five ports would allow me to, on top of all the mainstream consoles and eArc sound system, keep my gaming PC connected to the LG G3 as well. No worries, I suppose, as there’s always external HDMI switches to consider. I’m sure an extra port is coming at some point to these premium televisions, although it appears even the newer LG G4 only has four HDMI 2.1 ports, too.
