The B6 gets the fundamentals right. Dark scenes gain the clean depth of self-lit pixels, all four HDMI ports are modern rather than rationed, and 120Hz covers what current consoles can output. It is also the LG OLED that should make financial sense. At £1,899.99, that last part is missing: outgoing C-series and rival premium sets can enter the same territory, leaving the B6 without enough price separation to excuse its lower brightness and simpler sound.
Buy it if…
- The price falls clearly below C-series OLEDs
- You have several modern consoles
- You mainly watch in moderate or low light
Skip it if…
- A C5 or premium rival costs the same
- Daytime brightness is critical
- You want strong built-in sound

A closer look, category by category
Picture quality
The B6's Alpha 8 Gen3 processor and OLED panel 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.
Gaming and motion
Four HDMI 2.1 inputs, 120Hz VRR, G-Sync, FreeSync and Dolby Vision gaming make the B6 friendlier than many entry televisions. Current consoles do not require 165Hz, so its lower ceiling is not automatically a disadvantage for PlayStation or Xbox owners.
Living with it
webOS 26 covers streaming, casting and accessibility well. The 20W speakers are serviceable for news and ordinary programmes, not cinema. Mixed viewing is sensible on OLED, while continuous static information displays remain better suited to LCD.
Price
The exact 65-inch LG B6 OLED was listed at £1,899.99 in the UK when checked on 1 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.

Console living room
Four advanced ports and 120Hz cover modern console needs unusually well.
Evening television
OLED contrast gives films and drama convincing depth.
Full-price purchase
The missing gap to higher models makes this poor timing.
Where it sits in the market
The C5 is the key price comparison, Samsung's S85H is another entry OLED with a launch-price problem, and Mini LED is brighter for daytime rooms. The B6 becomes rational only when discounted below those choices.
How we reached this verdict
This research-based review uses LG's UK specification and the exact current 65-inch price. It does not infer measured brightness or processing from the OLED badge and remains evidence-gated pending independent testing.
