LG G6: Brighter OLED, But Color Accuracy Suffers
14 May
Summary
- LG G6 boasts up to 20% brighter screen with Tandem OLED technology.
- New TV sacrifices some color accuracy and off-axis viewing for brightness.
- Gamers benefit from 165Hz refresh rate and G-Sync/FreeSync support.
The LG G6 OLED TV, released in 2026, introduces Tandem OLED technology, stacking two panels for a claimed 20% brighter picture than its predecessor. This upgrade, coupled with new color systems like Hyper Radiant Color, aims to enhance visual performance.
Despite improvements in brightness and shadow detail, the G6 shows a slight compromise in color accuracy and exhibits green color shifts when viewed off-axis. This contrasts with its predecessor's renowned color fidelity.
For gamers, the G6 offers a 165Hz refresh rate and support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium. Its smart TV interface remains functional but uninspired, though accessible picture settings are a plus.
LG's G6 also features reduced reflectivity and includes a slim wall mount. It uses 802.11ac Wi-Fi and lacks an ATSC 3.0 tuner. Rivaling it is the Samsung S95H, which boasts stronger light rejection and optional antiburn-in features.
