Open any section for the detail behind our verdict.
01Picture quality
The B6's Alpha 8 Gen3 internal hardware and screen with deep-looking blacks provide the qualities most buyers notice first: deep black, consistent viewing angles and natural film contrast. It will not deliver the same highlight brightness as the C6 or G6. In a shaded room that matters less; beside large windows it matters more.
02Gaming and motion
Four modern sockets, extra-smooth movement automatic smoothing for games, G-Sync, automatic smoothing for games and a widely used film-picture format gaming make the B6 friendlier than many entry televisions. Current consoles do not require extra-smooth movement, so its lower ceiling is not automatically a disadvantage for PlayStation or Xbox owners.
03Living with it
LG's television menus covers streaming, casting and accessibility well. The 20W speakers are serviceable for news and ordinary programmes, not cinema. Mixed viewing is sensible on deep-black screen, while continuous static information displays remain better suited to screen with a light behind it.
Price and value
The exact 65-inch LG B6 deep-black screen was listed at £1,899 in the UK when we checked on 17 August 2026. That 65-inch price is used throughout this review and by the buying guide; a cheaper 55-inch version cannot improve its value score. Prices and promotions can change, so confirm the model number and final basket total before buying.

Who will notice the difference?
Console living room
Four advanced sockets and extra-smooth movement cover modern console needs unusually well.
Evening television
strong contrast in dark scenes gives films and drama convincing depth.
Full-price purchase
The missing gap to higher models makes this poor timing.
What else should you consider?
£1,899 · The C5 is the key price comparison, Samsung's S85H is another entry deep-black screen with a launch-price problem, and bright-screen television is brighter for daytime rooms. The B6 becomes rational only when discounted below those choices.
Our review process
This research-based review uses LG's UK listed features and the exact current 65-inch price. It does not infer measured brightness or processing from the deep-black screen badge and remains evidence-gated pending independent testing.
