LG G6 OLED (65-inch)

Gallery Design Meets Serious Daytime Brightness

LG's G6 combines wall-friendly Gallery styling with its brightest 2026 deep-black screen package and four extra-smooth movement-ready gaming sockets, but early pricing places it in uncompromising flagship territory.

The 60-second verdict

£2,999 · The G6 is an deep-black screen for people who previously ruled deep-black screen out because their room was too bright. LG pairs a new high-output screen with improved reflection control, while keeping the pixel-level black, wide viewing angle and four advanced sockets 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 bright-screen television on value.

What it is actually like

Open any section for the detail behind our verdict.

01Picture quality

The G6 uses LG's premium 2026 screen with deep-looking blacks and Brightness Booster Ultra, with pixel-level control for black and highlights. LG's internal 3.9-times comparison is against a conventional deep-black screen reference, not a promise about every scene. Measured peak and sustained brightness, picture-brightness control and reflection performance remain the evidence that matters.

02Gaming and motion

Four modern sockets, G-Sync, automatic smoothing for games, automatic smoothing for games and an extra-smooth movement ceiling create an unusually complete gaming setup. a widely used film-picture format gaming is supported at high-detail extra-smooth movement. Most console owners will use less than the screen's maximum, but they still benefit from the flexible sockets layout.

03Living with it

The stand-version distinction should be checked carefully because similarly named Gallery listings can target wall mounting. LG's five-year screen-and-parts coverage has labour conditions after year one, so buyers should read the terms. LG's television menus supports major UK apps and a long upgrade programme.

What should you pay?

Price and value

The exact 65-inch LG G6 deep-black screen was listed at £2,999 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.

Living with it

Who will notice the difference?

1

Bright design-led living room

Reflection control and a high-output screen with deep-looking blacks are the reason to consider G6.

2

Console and computer hub

Four capable inputs and extra-smooth movement support make the setup flexible.

3

Value-led upgrade

The outgoing G5 should be compared before paying for the new generation.

Before you decide

What else should you consider?

£2,999 · Samsung's S95H counters with anti-glare screen treatment deep-black screen, Panasonic's Z95B has stronger built-in audio and LG's own G5 is the discount speed test. The G6 needs measured brightness and reflection results to define a real lead.

How we reached the score

Our review process

This research-based review uses LG's UK listed features, 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.
