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.
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.

Who will notice the difference?
Bright design-led living room
Reflection control and a high-output screen with deep-looking blacks are the reason to consider G6.
Console and computer hub
Four capable inputs and extra-smooth movement support make the setup flexible.
Value-led upgrade
The outgoing G5 should be compared before paying for the new generation.
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.
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.
