Editor's Pick: This is one of LG's new products showcased at CES 2024, featuring the updated MLA+ (Micro Lens Array Plus) technology, which is the 2nd generation of micro prism technology (the successor to OLED evo, known as LG Meta OLED's second generation). It achieves peak brightness of 1300 nits and full-screen brightness of 275 nits, significantly higher than the previous generation MLA OLED's 200 nits, making it very usable during daytime.

The image above shows the evolution of LG OLED technology. The first-generation WOLED is represented by classic models like OLED C9 and CX. The second-generation EX technology, also known as OLED evo, is familiar to most and was used up through the C3 model. META OLED further enhances OLED brightness by incorporating micro prism technology (MLA).

The image above shows a heat map of light passing through a traditional OLED panel (middle school physics: light undergoes refraction and reflection when passing through different media). You can see that a considerable portion of light is reflected and refracted by the panel, resulting in brightness loss.

With the micro prism technology, as shown in the image, the light efficiency is improved by adjusting parameters such as the shape, focal length, arrangement structure, and duty cycle of the micron-level micro lens array, effectively enhancing the brightness of the OLED panel.

According to LG's statement, META 2.0 MLA+ can increase OLED brightness up to 3000 nits, while last year's META OLED LG G3 already achieved a peak brightness of 2000+ nits, matching Samsung's S95C. Although competing with TVs on brightness isn't necessary and there's a need to consider the burn-in risk from long-term static image display, the 34GS95QE equipped with MLA+ still delivers 1300 nits peak brightness and 275 nits full-screen brightness. Combined with AGLR anti-glare coating, 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and 800R curvature, it provides an excellent immersive HDR experience for both movies and games.
