If you're looking for a more affordable option with good overall picture quality, especially in dark rooms, the LG A1 could be a suitable choice. However, it has lower brightness which may not be ideal for very bright rooms. On the other hand, the LG G3 is at a higher price point, but offers superior picture quality in both dark and bright environments. It also has a better gaming experience thanks to a higher refresh rate and lower input lag. The G3 has better sound quality with great speakers, making it a strong all-around performer for various content including movies, sports, and gaming. In summary, if budget is a concern and you mostly watch in darker settings, the LG A1 is a solid choice. If you're willing to invest more for enhanced performance across all environments and uses, including a better gaming and audio experience, the LG G3 is the superior option. Give Feedback
