While LG’s OLED screens have been beloved of home cinema and AV fans for over a decade now, its LCD screens haven’t fared so well. That’s at least partly because, in our humble opinion, they’ve stuck with IPS LCD screen technology rather than the rival VA option.
The problem with IPS panels is that while they deliver wider effective viewing angles than VA ones, they also struggle to control how much light is passed through their LCDs as effectively as VA panels can, which means that they traditionally struggle to show dark scenes effectively.
