The G6 is an OLED for people who previously ruled OLED out because their room was too bright. LG pairs a new high-output panel with improved reflection control, while keeping the pixel-level black, wide viewing angle and four advanced HDMI inputs that made the G-series popular. This specific 65-inch listing includes a stand, which matters because Gallery models have historically been sold with wall mounting in mind. The remaining question is whether its daylight improvement is large enough to beat a discounted G5 or a strong Mini LED on value.
Buy it if…

Skip it if…
- A discounted G5 is substantially cheaper
- You want measured proof before spending
- You expect room-filling sound from the television alone

A closer look, category by category
Picture quality
The G6 uses LG's premium 2026 OLED panel and Brightness Booster Ultra, with pixel-level control for black and highlights. LG's internal 3.9-times comparison is against a conventional OLED reference, not a promise about every scene. Measured peak and sustained brightness, tone mapping and reflection performance remain the evidence that matters.
Gaming and motion
Four HDMI 2.1 inputs, G-Sync, FreeSync, VRR and a 165Hz ceiling create an unusually complete gaming setup. Dolby Vision gaming is supported at 4K 120Hz. Most console owners will use less than the panel's maximum, but they still benefit from the flexible port layout.
Living with it
The stand-version distinction should be checked carefully because similarly named Gallery listings can target wall mounting. LG's five-year panel-and-parts coverage has labour conditions after year one, so buyers should read the terms. webOS supports major UK apps and a long upgrade programme.
Price
The exact 65-inch LG G6 OLED was listed at £2,699 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.

Bright design-led living room
Reflection control and a high-output OLED panel are the reason to consider G6.
Console and PC hub
Four capable inputs and 165Hz support make the setup flexible.
Value-led upgrade
The outgoing G5 should be compared before paying for the new generation.
Where it sits in the market
Samsung's S95H counters with Glare Free OLED, Panasonic's Z95B has stronger built-in audio and LG's own G5 is the discount benchmark. The G6 needs measured brightness and reflection results to define a real lead.
How we reached this verdict
This research-based review uses LG's UK specification, warranty notes and the exact 65-inch stand-version price. Because independent testing of the retail G6 was not yet sufficiently mature, it remains outside automated recommendations.
