Open any section for the detail behind our verdict.
01Picture quality
The C6 keeps pixel-level strong contrast in dark scenes and adds LG's Alpha 11 Gen3 internal hardware plus Brightness Booster. That should help picture-brightness control, clean up older or poorer-quality programmes and daytime impact, but the size of the improvement over C5 must be measured. a widely used film-picture format, a film-picture format and a film-picture format support cover the important UK formats.
02Gaming and motion
Four modern sockets support automatic smoothing for games, G-Sync, automatic smoothing for games and up to extra-smooth movement from a compatible computer. Consoles can use high-detail extra-smooth movement and a widely used film-picture format gaming without occupying the only advanced input. LG's Game Optimiser keeps the important settings visible.
03Living with it
The thin, light chassis works on a stand or wall and LG's television menus provides the expected services. deep-black screen care is largely automatic for mixed viewing. Buyers should compare final prices rather than generations, because a C5 discount may outweigh the C6's incremental benefits.
Price and value
The exact 65-inch LG C6 deep-black screen was listed at £2,299 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?
Mixed films and gaming
Few televisions combine format support and connection flexibility as neatly.
Gaming computer
The extra-smooth movement ceiling is the clearest upgrade over older C-series generations.
Budget-conscious deep-black screen buyer
A discounted C5 may deliver nearly the same everyday experience.
What else should you consider?
£2,299 · Samsung's S90H targets glare and extra-smooth gaming, LG's G6 is the brighter design flagship, and the C5 remains the dangerous value rival. The C6 must establish its lead through measured processing and brightness, not its year number.
Our review process
This research-based assessment uses LG's exact UK model listed features and current 65-inch price. The new internal hardware and brightness claims are not treated as tested results, so finder eligibility waits for product-specific independent evidence.
