Reflection-prone
Iโve had the pleasure of seeing most of LGโs premium TVs in action over the past few years, but the LG C6 OLED is the first self-emissive model from the brand that Iโve had the opportunity to test thoroughly.
LG sent me a pre-production sample ahead of the TV going on sale to replace the LG C5 OLED I had in situ to test the LG Sound Suite. So, along with putting the C6 through its paces using my usual set of objective and subjective tests, I was able to make direct comparisons to its predecessor.
By and large, it measured up favourably. It has received a welcome boost in brightness, helping it deliver improved SDR and HDR picture quality. And a handful of other upgrades enhance the overall experience, whether youโre watching films, streaming or gaming.
Itโs worth noting, however, that the 65in model I tested doesnโt represent the pinnacle of what the C series can achieve. LG has reserved its new Hyper Radiant Colour technology and Tandem OLED panel for the 77in screen size and above, and therefore, weโre reviewing that model separately.
