Our verdict
The G6 is an OLED TV for people who ruled OLED out because their room was too bright. In an OLED screen each pixel makes its own light and can switch fully off, so blacks look properly black. LG pairs a bright screen, which it calls Brightness Booster Ultra, with reflection control aimed at rooms with a lot of daylight. It has four HDMI ports that support 4K at 120Hz, and variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 165Hz for smooth gaming. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, and has 60W speakers. This 65-inch listing includes a stand, though the design is also flush-fit for a wall. What Hi-Fi? tested the 65-inch model and gave it five stars.
Buy it if
- You want flagship OLED picture quality in a bright room
- You have several consoles or a gaming PC and want four capable HDMI ports
- The included stand suits how you plan to install it
Skip it if
- LG's feature-heavy webOS menus would frustrate you
- You do not need the extra brightness and would rather save money
- You expect room-filling sound from the television alone
How it would fit your home
Bright design-led living room
Reflection control and a brighter OLED screen with deep blacks are the reasons to consider the G6.
Console and computer hub
Four HDMI ports that handle 4K at 120Hz make it easy to keep a PS5, Xbox and PC connected at once.
Wall-mounted living room
The flush Gallery design is made to sit close to the wall. Check whether your listing includes the stand or is a wall-mount version.
The details, in plain English
Picture quality
The G6 uses LG's 4K OLED panel with Brightness Booster Ultra. Each pixel can switch fully off for black and dim or brighten separately for highlights. LG's own 3.9-times brightness comparison is against a conventional OLED reference, not a promise about every scene. What Hi-Fi? gave the 65-inch model five stars. LG's Reflection Free Premium certification says reflections are cut to under 0.5%, which helps in rooms with a lot of daylight.
Gaming and HDR
The panel refreshes at 120Hz natively, with VRR up to 165Hz for gaming PCs. VRR matches the screen to a game's frame rate to stop tearing. All four HDMI ports support 4K at 120Hz, eARC and ALLM, and G-Sync is supported. It handles Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Most console owners will not use the maximum, but the flexible ports mean no juggling of cables.
Sound and processing
The speakers are rated at 60W. That is decent for a thin TV, but a soundbar is still worth considering if sound matters. Picture processing comes from LG's Alpha 11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, which sharpens and tunes the picture, and the set runs webOS 26. A soundbar can add bass and volume, and the eARC HDMI connection sends full-quality sound to it. Add that cost when you compare prices.
Design and warranty
Check the stand distinction carefully, because similarly named Gallery listings can be for wall mounting. LG lists a five-year panel warranty under OLED Care+, with labour conditions after year one, so read the terms. LG's webOS supports major UK apps and has a long upgrade programme. Wall mounting suits the flush design if you prefer the TV to sit close to the wall rather than on the stand.
Strengths and drawbacks
What it does well
- LG's brightest 2026 OLED screen, with reflection control for bright rooms
- Four HDMI ports with 4K at 120Hz, eARC, VRR and ALLM (auto low latency mode)
- Supports Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG, including Dolby Vision for gaming
- VRR up to 165Hz and G-Sync support for smooth, tear-free gaming
- Stand included on the reviewed version, and it can also be wall mounted
What to watch out for
- Flagship launch price of £2,699
- 60W speakers on a thin design still benefit from a soundbar
- LG's webOS menus are feature-heavy and will not suit everyone
Samsung's S95H counters with an anti-glare OLED screen, and Panasonic's Z95B has stronger built-in audio. Independent testing supports the G6's picture quality; the question is whether its brightness and reflection control are worth the price in your room.

Sonos Beam (Gen 2) Reviewed by us
A reviewed dialogue-focused soundbar can address the named weak built-in sound. Judge voices at your normal volume and include its cost before choosing the TV.
Check first: No separate bass box included; use compatible TV ARC/eARC or the manufacturer’s optical adapter. Confirm the TV’s exact outputs and plan the occupied HDMI socket.
