LG B6 OLED: Budget king or bright disappointment?
26 Oct
Summary
- LG B6 offers a thin design, but struggles with brightness and contrast.
- Competition from RGB TVs and other LG models offers better performance.
- Priced at $1,300, it's an entry-level OLED with decent features.
The LG B6 aims to be an affordable entry into OLED technology, boasting an incredibly thin profile and an intuitive WebOS interface. Despite its sleek aesthetics, the television's performance is a mixed bag, particularly in contrast and brightness levels. Dark scenes in movies can appear completely black, lacking the detail found on higher-end sets.
While the B6 offers a 120-Hz refresh rate suitable for gaming and good color reproduction in some scenarios, its overall picture quality is outshone by competing RGB televisions and even LG's own higher-tier models like the C6. With a current sale price of $1,300, the B6 is positioned as a budget OLED, but the slight price increase for the superior LG C6 presents a compelling alternative.
